I just thought of a cool level. It would be on Earth and it would be like the Normandy beach assault, the Covenant would be assaulting an area where you and Marines are waiting (mabey thats the Zanzibar level). Or it could be in a city thats already been heavily damaged from other assaults, and then you get there to hold that strong point against another assault. Anyone have other cool ideas for levels, please post them here. What about the Moon level, I hope thats cool-have an idea for this level?

I would like a level based off of New Mombasa, it would be an MP level. There would be multiple streets, that go around and two buildings on opposite sides of the map which you could walk into, and that are reasonably defendable. They would have at least 2 storys each, and the flag would be on the second story (they don't necessarily have to be buildings). And along the roads, there could be cover, alley ways, all sorts of things to take cover behind, you get the point. Any way, it would sorta just be a MP level similar to the level in the E3 2k3 demo trailer. Perhaps there could even be a mode in which you move along the city and you have to capture certain locations/ buildings within the city ( I believe Battle Field is like that).

Edit: And of course full vehicle support.

I don't know how well it would play but a large vehicle battle might be cool, lots of tanks and smaller vehicles squaring off.

i reckon an island level where the water slowly rises till it swallows the island would be cool

I like that idea. Mabey the two building could have holes blown in them, and in the holes there would be turrets, or some Sniper Rifle's.

What about a jungle level, I bet there'll be one. It would be heavily dense with trees and a dirt road leading to the bunkers. There would be four bunkers on all corners of the map and one in the middle. It could work for different game types-team slayer. Here's a game type that would work for this map, one where the outside bunkers team up on the middle bunker and have to plant a bomb or something to win. Each of the corner bunkers would have a junglehogs/transporthog and a turret on the bunker. The middle bunker would have four turrets, one in each direction, and a well defendable bunker. I like this idea, too bad its to late for Bungie to make MP maps.

Sorry this was so big. Come on people think, I want to keep this thread going.

Does anyone think there'll be a Moon level for MP?? Hope so, thats going to be fun. Someone could shoot you out into space. The level could be set up so there's and inside structure and a outside. There would be gravity inside, but there's a switch you can press to turn it off/on, and outside there's no gravity. What do you think?

Am I going to have to keep coming up with ideas to keep this post at the top?! What about a MP level that's in a building/house? No veichles, hahaha. This would be a good CTF level, could make lots of secret passedge ways, and things to hide behind. Also no turrets, just weapons and nades.

Alright... I'll help ya out...
How about a big diamond shape map in a canyon. It would be surround by a canyon edge (like blood gulch), but there are 4 bases, and it would be shaped like this... with this little "wedge thing in the middle for more sniper spots:

There would be a base on top, on bottom, and on the left and right.

hey monty, u do know that the moon has gravity right?
its just a little less than on earth (ie. MC able 2 jump higher etc.) i believe that the gravity on the moon is 1/6 of that on earth.

But if you do hit them with a hard enough force they will go flying into space... maybe not MC with his 2 ton armor... but a normal person...

Sorry, thats what I meant. Creeping Death, your idea reminds me a little of BG mixed with one of the new maps, dont remeber what its called.

i think a cool level idea would be if you had to save human civilians being held hostage and were set to be executed for there defiance of the covenent religion and you and a cuple of odst's have to go in and rip it up.

Alright, so far its going ok, I need more. I'm trying to get off of the same old topics or bees. Please, come up with ideas, and mabey we'll find out that one of the levels in this thread is in the game. Or mabey Bungie will see this thread and go 'hey those are cool maps', and mabey they'll make them downloadable. Please.

I think a cool idea for a map is five islands. Each island the size of The Silent Cartographer. And it would be team slayer or capture the flag. The middle island would be the only way to get to the other islands, so it would be a big battleground. And you would have a couple snipers defending the base. Of course it would work out with bots. Each island would be like Zanzibar in the way of in ruins. to make it more interesting, the flag switches its spots about every minute, so the defenders and the atackers don't know where their flag is and would have to find it. The islands would have underground tunnels for vehiclse to go through so they can make it to the middle island without going through the water. That's my idea.

One I want to see really badly is an Assault & Defend. Sort of like on Zanzibar, but more like the Assault levels in Timesplitters 2. You had to rush a base, while enemies poured out of it, all of them bent upon your destruction. The enemy base also had turrets, and you had to take 'em out or you'd die really easily. I think it would be cool to have a jungle assault level where you had to rush up a hill. And there would be a couple of places where you could sniper up, but ultimately, the bad guys had the "upper" hand. (Sorry 'bout the pun.)

It would also be cool if it had some vehicles, like maybe the ATV and the Ghost, but no others. I would want the level to be the sort of thing you need at least 4 people to win with. Then, after you won, the enemy would try to rush the base. Also, (This is stolen from another game) however long it took you and your teammates to take their base, is how long they have to do the same to you.

The best part would be, you wouldn't have to stay in the base. You could run out to meat them, or you could just wait and ambush them when they come inside, but the best thing you could do is grab the sniper and peg them off from above.

Keep the ideas comin' folks.

That'a a cool idea, I hope Bungie has something like an assault mode. Is that other idea you stole from another game Unreal?

Ooh, good CTF idea. Ok, it's a lot like that other guys Silent Cartographer idea 9Nice level BTW), except that there are only two HUGE islands. There is also a small body of water in between them. The water would be really shallow so that the other team could see you coming, but the water is quicker than the only other way, which is underground. The underground tunnel is safer, but it takes a lot longer. It also doesn't end any where near the other team. It end on their island, but way up on top of a mountain.

The level would have all vehicles except the Banshee. It would be a really complex level, with small objectives, like opening a teleport near the other teams base, but, naturally, you have to open it from there side. The level would be perfect for 8vs8, because of all the miny missions. The average flag capture would take ike 30 minutes of strategy and attacking and defending.

To get to the other teams base you would have to go through lots of paths and TONS of ruins. The other team could be waiting to snipe you, or they might be behind you stealing your flag. You would have to assign people to positions, and without lots of teamwork, you would lose.

Of course, this would only be good for when everyone wanted to play a long game with more strategy then action. Which would only be at about 5:00 in the morning.

Something I think would be cool is something underground with planty of tunnels. About two that cicle around the map that lead to the other base, but each base has many turrets, so the those tunnels may not be chosen. The bases would be like the ones on Zanzibar mostley, except a little smaller. the other tunnels would be for MC's, Elites, and about a dozen smaller vehicle tunnels. At the bases there would be an opening up to the top where there is nothing but a forest. The top would accesable through portals and stairs leading up to another base for you that has more vehicles srored like Banshees for airial assaults. The other vehicles would be used for droping down onto the enemy base. That would be awesome.

That's an great idea!! That'd be cool if the whole hill was a compound disguised as a hill, and there'd be a secret entrance by the base of the hill (that's also disguised) for sneak attacks and such, that'd be the bomb.
