Problem is the players that don't like BTB or vehicles complained about Hemorrhage being "to open." I cannot imagine Bungie making a giant map where the outside is entirely open for vehicles and the center being some form of a structure. To be honest, Relic and Santrap are very similar maps in design (giant map with open outside and structure in the middle). Mabye combining the 2 into something would be a good start.

I see where you're coming from there. The main thing that I would love to see in a map is just massive vehicle combat, we saw a glimpse of vehicle combat in campaign but were never allowed to be part of it. I am yet to have an MM battle against a warthog while in the Falcon or vice versa and to me and there will be others, this is quite a dissapointment with Reach. I've played many shooter games and many driving games but Halo is the only game that combines the two that I've played, and by that I mean fun vehicle battles. Battle field 1943 had some vehicles but nothing like the moments Halo has had. In the OP, it says that the map can be sectioned of for different playlists so for slayer, it will be in the more enclosed and confined areas whereas Invasion will put to use the whole map and lead to epic moments for those who like vehicle combat.

No just because I think the entire maps of boneyard, spire, and forgeworld makes for huge warthog maps. Reach is lacking in the BTB map department. What we need is a Relic/Headlong Remake or a Waterworks/Containment remake.

Sandtrap was a garbage BTB map compared to the Halo 2 maps. Since Halo 3 is still playable over Xbox Live, Bungie should be looking at recreating maps and ideas from Halo 2 before Halo 3.


okay, i always look for feedback regardless of opinion. thank you for leaving your ideas, it is greatly appreciated.

true, but for a good cause.

Bump, come on guys keep this idea up on the front page where people can see it. We gotta get the word out.

I can totally see this happening.

For the sake of the map I would change it so you have the map with in the wall, then you have an area all around the wall. Not just at one small section.

Phase 1. Spartans have to break through the forerunner wall to gain access to the inners of the forerunner fortress.(Assault)(Spartans would have 1 or 2 warthogs off the start, while the elites have 1 or 2 ghosts and some vehicle killing weapon.)

Phase 2. Spartans have to blow a hole in the area outside of the inner fortress(where the flag is on the picture of the whole map.) to get in.(Spartans get Armor or Falcon)

Phase 3. Spartans have to secure the inner fortress by capturing a territory at the top of a forerunner tower. The tower would have one way in from the ground level, but some areas are weak and can be destroyed by a tank shell or a rocket which allows the falcon to fly more guys into the mid/top of the tower. The tower would be a circular tower with tight hallways that keep circling up until they reach the top. (Spartans would get Armor and Falcon, Elites would get 1 or 2 Banshees, 1 or 2 Plasma launchers all of which would spawn on the top of the tower which would make it hard to do an air drop) (Note there would be a good amount of cover at the top of the tower for the elites to use.)

QFT
That idea is really good, as I'm off for the rest of the week I might make myself this map for HL2 with the Hammer Editor and get it posted on the OP for visual recognition of the idea. Only if there were tools openly available to make Halo maps and be able to play them.

Why wouldn't there be? Is it one of those things impossible to add into the game in DLC? Also, it's nice to see that you, and many others are supporting the idea.

Online Gaming's pretty much like a zombie movie. There are a lot of mindless idiots roaming around but you find some survivors on the way.

Ya I totally accidentally linked that random gamertag. I don't know what it is. But my real gamertag is curb st0mpd if you wanna check out my stats.

Do we really mean it? We have forge world. It would be cool to be able to go above forge world though.
