I am creating a map right now (about a month in the making), and would like to here what you guys would like to see in a map that you would build.

examples:

-strategic points
-buildings
-landmarks
-terrain

Just out of curiosity, and to quell my lack of map editing knowledge, what program are you using to create this map? The much anticipated Halo 2 Vista map editor that will come with the game hasn't been released yet.

You have to model the map before you can put it into an editor. He is probably making it it 3dsMax, then when H2V comes out, he will put it into the editor, add weapons, vehicles etc.

At least, that's the way I understand map making works.

I would like to see huge maps like Hugeass or Coldsnap.
It would also be cool to see a Halo 2 Vista Map that was made just for fun with vehicles and was sorta based off a Dirt Race track of some sort.
And yes i know how to make maps and i am not currently working on any because i don't know the limits for the H2V Editing kit.

Yes, I am creating it in 3ds max.

I have an idea for the map, but I'm not an expert which is why I am asking these questions.

It is big. Its maybe like coldsnap. But it has more of a desert/tropical feel; did I mention the two bases were on two separate islands?

YA i meant like in that scale i personally don't want Coldsnap Or Hugeass in H2V but i would like to have some maps close or bigger than those.

And i wonder if you can use Gmax to make maps for H2V?

Yes there are actually two bridges, and yes you can make maps with gmax.

If it's your first map, don't release it. S'matter of fact, make your first map to actually be simple and work, not something you can't handle yet.

How about a symmetrical map that is based around the CTF/Assault gametype? Maps like dangercanyon, icefields, and timberland are all perfect for both competitve play and casual pubbing. I would like to see something similar to Snow Grove made by CMT.

Yeah, its pretty symmetrical. There are a few surprises, but it is pretty conventional/standard.

I read a book not too long ago written by one of the game design greats. It explained a lot about how to create a good map for CTF/Deathmatch that sort of thing.
