Okay so hi Ive had a idea in my head for quite some time now on a infection map and i wanted to share this now before a go ahead and make a play test map or even start making anything at all. Here is my idea. So its theme is inside a forerunner structure, try to imagine yourself back in Halo Cea running through the corridoors of the mission 343 Guilty spark. With the fear of walking into a room full of infected or the hopes of finding a shotgun. I my opinion this is already a good base to make a infection map. I would obvisouly make and create my own map but it would be inspired by that level. There would be massive greens tanks that light up dark rooms so it sets a scary setting as most rooms will be quite dark The map would feature clear referenced of the flood and halo ce as a hole and would have light bridges in certain rooms to accses new areas of the map. But these bridges would require you to find the switch around areas of the map encourageing players to move around instead of camp. As the flood your movment speed wil be a tiny bit slower and your jump height reduced due to the fact of being inside. Weapons around the map would be normal weapons that you would find in normal infection map but there is a hidden h1magnum. This is just a concept at this point in time so its nothing impressive there will be a poll down below so you can give your opinions. Thanks for reading!
The only concern I have from this is that it would be too similar to 343 Guilty Spark (even though you addressed the same idea - If I were you I would definitely use it purely as inspiration, then throw in some ideas from other flood parts of the trilogy (Oracle, High Charity, Floodgate). Having multiple sources of inspiration such as these plus some of your own ideas that could make gameplay really fun/interesting, I feel you might have a pretty sweet infection map on your hands.
Hi thanks for the feedback, i have taken this into mind and you have given me some new ideas. Thank you
