Keep the standard map layout, but expand the map about a quarter more than the original size to make better use of other types of vehicles. In the middlt of the plains, but a river similar to the ones found on the Halo level in the original game. This will add some difficulty to going across to the other side. There would be a single bridge in the middle for people and vehicles to get across, but it would be narrow so that the Scorpion or Halo 2 equivelent couldnt cross. The Scorpion would then have to be used as an artillary piece rather than an attack vehicle.
Another thing to add, is to make and underground part to each base. This sub-level would lead to a system of underground tunnels that can take you to different parts of the map, but the entrance into the bases from undreground is only one way. Once you go into the tunnels from the bases, you either have to have someone open it from the other side, or go in through the top.
I would also make the option of changing the time of day you play in. You can either have the game during the day, or you can have it in the middle of the night. The night games would bring another element to palying, since you can spot someone dumb enough to use there flashlight all the time. The day/night could be toggled in the start menu for MP. This menu would also have the option of what kind of weather you would play in. The different weather types would be rain, snow, heavy wind with dust kick up, slight fog, and heavy fog which would cause players to only see anything within a 15 foot diameter.
