The map would have two island bases. There would be vehicle very similar to the Warthog but it would be a boat. There would be a couple of those at each base. There would be a huge island in the middle of that map (maybe with a couple respawn islands*). It would have a mongeese or regular Warthogs. It would have a huge hill on it, and on top, there would be a Splazer (if they existed at the time) or a rocket launcher.

*The respawn islands would have buildings to protect you and stop spawn killing, and there would be bridges to connect them to the main island.

Pretty much, whoever controlled the hill would have an advantage, but it would still be fun, imo.

I got the idea from Blowgunner's Traffical Waters map.

Please don't flame.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Valhalla underwater essentially. No.

It would be more of an obese Valhalla with bigger bases underwater.

It's cherry, tastes like strawberry, looks like watermelon, and you think it's raspberry just because.

not a bad idea

I tried to make a map just like this on halo 3's forge (with notable differences) Not really being all that into naval combat, i more wanted air combat, i built two bases in sandbox's sky bubble. Each base was equiped with turrets, snipers rockets and ofcourse banshees and hornets. There is also a much smaller island in the center for a netural bomb, and afew scattered islands with stationary vehicles (gauss hogs and wraiths) to be used as additional turrets. Each base also includes a one-way teleporter to the ground level where there are artilery-like scorpions and lazers to fire upon air units from below.(one-way teleporters keep the lazers on the ground and make them more ballenced) I don't know if anyone really cares, but i figured maybe i could inspire you to create your dream map yourself instead of waiting for bungie to do it for you two games from now. PS: that was a hell of alot to type on an iTouch x_x

I don't think it is possible to create the map that I want with our current map editing tools.

dude that would be totaly awsome i always wanted to drive a boat in halo ::::::::::::::::::::]

Call me Daddy

Yea a water map would be cool. But would you be able to swim or how would they do that?

I'm not too keen on the boat idea... it just seems that if they needed to cross water, both the Covenant and the Humans would use aircraft and not boats...

Now a map with shallow water inbetween islands, with lush tropical forests and water features, that I could dig. Great for Machima and beautiful to play on. Needs lots of trees though. Lots and lots of trees.

That is true, I guess. Maybe boats are safer?

I dunno, it just doesn't work for me. Balancing it would also be interesting, how many boats would there be? Four? What if the entire team stole your ships in a slayer game, all got into boats, and zipped around the edge of the map without needing to fear attack save from snipers? It would almost be like Sandtrap Covies where teams who had taken the lead would boost around on ghosts in the minefield to prevent most infantry from catching up to them.

If there was a Splazer on the hill, then the boats could easily be destroyed.
