How many of you think they should remake Death island for halo 2 or halo 3?

I'm posting here beacuse (i think) the map was only for the pc version.

No. A map like Death-Island is just too broken for a game like Halo 2/3. If they did remake it, it would have to under-go some MAJOR revisions.

Any idiot can take the same model and re texture it. The entire concept of remaking a map should involve taking the basic layout and modifying it to the best way possible to fit the current game engine.

I don't know about anyone else, but the gigantic maps like death island and infinite are my absolute favorites. I'd love it if they were remade.

The lack of large expansive terrain is, from my point of view, was Halo 2's biggest problem.

The only problem I can think of is that after all the vehicles get blown up, you're stuck trudging around on foot.

Yeah, not too great.

Then again, it'd probably help stop vehicle camping as much, since the destroyable vehicles would favour those who don't keep good care of them.

I'd like to see a remake of Death Island, and it'll be new to those few people who has not played Halo PC and has never seen death Island. but it needs to have more things and some smaller islands around it and some streams in side of it.

For Halo 3? Maybe. For Halo 2? Look at how ginormous and boringly empty Coagulation and Waterworks were.

Because you have to wait 24 hours before you can post topics.

Join a server with less than 1000 ping.

Hired Gun are in charge of H2PC, not Bungie. And that map is fun in Halo, but for Halo 2? Not really. But if anyone remade it I'd gladly download and play Vehicles only (because BR Slayer on Lockout gets old >_>).

  • 09.02.2007 8:42 PM PDT

agreed, BR slayer does get old fast, I for one thing, but zombie doesn't get old that fast.

Zombies is the most laid back and fun game ever.

Back to the topic, I think destructible vehicles plus more anti armor weapons would change a vehicle based map like Death Island enough to make it worth to be remade. I would like to see better base layouts though.

That's nice. Way to kill this thread with a boring comment.
