I know a lot of people don't have vista yet, but when any of you DO get Halo 2 Vista, are you going to create any custom maps and, if so, what?

Personally, I am going to create my neighborhood and my church (it is big).

Slaying noobs since 2007.

It depends, whether or not anyone else is going to download my maps to play on.

  • 04.28.2007 1:39 PM PDT

What it is.

Another good question would be, which Halo 1 maps will you be remaking. I'd love to see a Damnation remake, since i have already seen Battle Creek(Beaver Creek), Longest(Elongation), Derelict(Desolation), Blood Gulch(Coagulation), and Wizard(Warlock). Of course there are still alot more Halo 1 maps to be remade, but still. I am also looking forward to the new user-created maps.

Portent, CE was not complete without portent.

The good news is user-created maps do not need to be manually downloaded to play on them. The new system is automatic:
Halo 2 Vista FAQ
Q: In Halo Custom Edition, we had to download maps manually to actually play them online. Is there a new system that solves this problem?
A: Yes. There will be an online system that will automatically download content that is required to play in the server of your choosing. Needless to say, you won't have to download maps again unless you're hosting them for the very first time.

As for me, I would love to see a good Sidewinder and Danger Canyon remake.

That would be awesome, but an interesting design challenge.

Think of boarding action on two sides of a canyon. With a man cannon to launch you from one to the other xD.

I don't have great mapmaking skills, but I would love if someone were to release a really, really top-grade remake of Gephyrophobia.

  • 04.28.2007 8:01 PM PDT

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

Hmmm, no one's mentioned sidewinder yet...

I wouldn't mind remakes of dammnation aswell and portent and yoyorast island from CE. I'll be getting 3Ds Max soon and I've got some ideas for some original maps so I guess i'll start by making those. I've been playing around with the idea of a map which is individual rooms linked together by tubes which have grav-lifts in them so everyone's flying around in the grav-lift powered tubes.

As for a boarding action remake how about an office building ripped in two as a theme for it.

Let there be CHAOS!

Personally, I would like a remake of every Halo PC map that isn't already remade for Halo 2. Also it would be cool if someone ported Tombstone and Desolation as well.

As for CE maps.... well... there a ton of CE maps I liked, but I haven't played CE in a long time so I can't think of any off the top of my head really.

I've been trying to make a map for H2V that is more of a city scape then what you see in Halo, so far, I've made two diffrent drawings of it, the first was like Blood gulch with more cliffs, and caves, along with two bases with a fan two one side of the medile of the map. 2nd was more like Ivory tower, but with an out side. and I've come up with some new ideas. and I'm going to model it after the Nu Skin High Rise building in Provo Utah, but it's going to be 4 floors, with a big doom on top, and the first floor with look some what like the old look for the first floor loby in the building, all but one thing... the real thing is getting a remodeling job.


^Please don't mind the spelling, Grammor errors, I'm kind of on a caffeine high here.^

When you say "port" I hope you mean modification. Because H1 maps are designed for H1 gameplay, not H2. Things would have to change here and there.

yes, if you're going to "port" any Halo 1 maps into Halo 2, please, please make your own custom model, and don't make a blood Gulch!

  • 04.28.2007 9:05 PM PDT

What it is.

Someone should make a map full of launch pads, it'd be retarded, but it'd be one of those maps you just gotta laugh at. Just think, everyone bouncing trying to hit someone, maybe with rockets, lol....

Yes I hope it doesn't turn into Halo CE with a million different versions of Blood gulch, "Oh look this one has trees!"

By the way, is Tombstone and Desolation being included in H2V?

I'm still pretty sure you can upload your maps to website such as www.halomaps.org, so I guess if people like your map, then people will be hosting servers with it.

No, Tombstone and Desolation are not going to be in Halo 2 Vista, I'm afraid. We are getting two other maps exclusive for the PC, however, Uplift and District.

They look better than the Xbox-exclusive maps... I've played them, Tombstone and Desolation are fun, but nothing special.

I said I hope there are "remakes" of H1 maps and that Tombstone and Desolation from H2 are "ported".

I'd love to make my own remakes of H1 maps, but I am absolutely horrible at modelling and I've tried a thousand tutorials on making Halo CE maps and failed at all of them somehow, so I'll just have to hope other people do it heh.
