Subject: My opinion on the Halo: Reach Maps

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

I think that Halo: Reach should be all new maps, with 3 re-makes to start. then all the DLC should be re-makes of Halo's classic maps: Wizard, Sidewinder, Zanzibar, Headlong, etc.

I think Halo Reach should be all new or reimagined maps. And there should be a forge system powerful enough for people to create their precious remakes if they want to, and Bungie can concentrate on making entirely new maps.

If you think about it, forge in Halo 3 was originally just a weapon / vehicle / spawn layout editor, and was only later adapted to be a map maker. It did a pretty damn good job despite it's limiting origins. But forge in Reach will easily surpass it assuming it is designed to be a map editor from the start.

No direct remakes, maybe similar layouts like gaurdian was based off of lockout, but no blackout. The story is going to be completely different, and maybe it wont eve be a thing like Halo 3, it might be a massive FPS

Thats where the base maps will come from, all just maps loosely based off of campaign and a few of bungies latest and greatest ideas.

Most of bungie's ideas aren't from bungie, they're all from the community like me and you.

well then maps loosely based off the campaign and a few of bungie's stolen maps from their slaves of a community.

Yeah, i hope the campaign has a big influence, but not the whole lineup - for example, in COD, most the maps are based off of campaign and can become an eyesore after a while. New environments are the key.

I would have to agree, things directly taken from the campaign wouldn't be best for reach.

Who knows, so far, we don't have anything visual to judge, lets just hope for the best :)
