Well I would make a field similar to a speedball based paintball field, and there wouldnt be scoped weapons or shotgun like weapons. The bullets would "dip" and curve in the air. Also they would travel near or around 250 feet per second. :)

I think they should make a haloesque version of the "City Street Large" map from the Rainbow 6 series. It is perfect for every game type.

As most of you know ( hopefuly) the Spartans of Halo are named after the greatest warriors of all time the Spartans of Sparta. In a bit of history (yes, yes I know its boring but it can be cool), the Spartans showed their might at the Pass of Thermopalae ( excuse my spelling). Greece was at war with Persia, and an army of Persians went to attack Athens. The Spartans went to route the Persians at the only way in, the Pass of Thermopalae. It was a few hundred Spartans (the number I forget) versus an army of Persians, and the Spartans won. Now if you replace the Perians with the Covenant and the Spartans of Sparta with the Spartans of Halo, then you have a game. It would be like single flag CTF, one team would protect a base in which the only entrance would be the Pass. The Pass would have turrets and heavy weapons. The other team would spawn on a beach, with vehicles. And please excuse my spelling and my hisorical inaccuracies which I tried to keep at a minimum, so if you find a mistake please note it.


It was 300 (about) Vs. 1,000,000. the spartans (im actually not sure if the spartans actually fought here even. I think they did but they don't know) were slaughtered to the last man, but they took countless thousands with them. it was the battle of thermopolye or something like that. They talk about it in the last samurai.
FOR THE RECORD: all that was off the top of my head, please correct me if Im wrong

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Hmph... I'm going to go off topic for this, simply because I was wondering specifics of the Battle of Thermopylae myself (I'm pretty sure that's the correct spelling).

1,000,000 Persians (under King Xerxes, right?) is quite a big number... I don't think it was that much... There were thousands, not a million (I could be wrong,... but a million still looks too big). The Spartans basically slaughtered the Persians.... but didn't the Spartans lose in the end? Weren't they betrayed by someone? Or was that a different battle in an ancient Greek war?

If I'm right about the Spartans losing, I don't actually mean they completely lost, since they held out so damn well (like the Alamo). They won in a different way.

But, I could be wrong about that, since I'm not completely sure that it was Thermopylae where Greeks were betrayed.

I would make a world very much like Middle Earth, and there would be little Hobbits running around everywhere that you could snipe, but it wouldn't count for any points (somewhat like Counter Strike and the chickens that you can shoot, but many more of them). Also, being that Halo seems to be in the FUTURE, I would put cameras outside the bases with a screen on the inside so you know where your damn enemy is coming from. The cameras of course can be shot out. And I would probably put a dirt pit in the middle of the level. In case of an ammo shortage, this could lead to some serious mud-wrestling fun!

If i could make any multiiplayer map it would be at least tripple the size of sindwinder. and it would have every vehicle amaginable, including jets. I guess it would be like a map for battelfield 1942 except for halo, which makes all the differance. That would be a awesome map.

Mine would be like Sidewinder but in stead of those bases i would have like a fortress with two rocket turrets. And at the top would be a snipers spot, down below would be an armory sorta like the blood gulch bases, but bigger and the vehicles would be parked down there. And one of the most important factors, NO ICE I despise that stuff. And if this were Halo 2 there would be two landing pads behind the rocket turrets for Banshees.

How i would make my map would be similar to BG and SW but i would have there be many more routes to get into eachothers base. Such as a tunnel that branches off into more underground. There would have to be better Snipers spots to go along with this though. There would also be more invisibilitys and Overshields to make the game a bit more complicated.

I havnt read all 22 pages... but if it hasnt been said already...

I would design a small map based around an arena with two entrances, and plasma swords in each doorway. The level with be for melee sword fights and would include an external area and a couple areas with windows for people to spectate. The arena would be speckled with some kind of movable object or explosive that could be interacted with... maybe a control panel on the outside so the doors could be closed.

Other thoughts...

It could have multiple levels and maybe grenades for a little spice. Could be a small section of a larger map so anyone that isnt dueling could also fight and such.

It would be in a deep rainforest with some good sniping spots on the hills surronding the forest. also there will be a mine field that is always moving when someone dies and respawns. this will be called "hidden Jungle"!

My map would be like ice fields(comp) but a bit larger and with more ways to the enemy base. It also wouldnt be ice but jungle like 343 and a bridge in the middle with bunkers at each end with a sniper tower *drools*.

actually i just watched the history channe; the other day and they had that exact thing on. it was 300 spartans and 1,000 (or was it 4,000?) greece allies. the persian had 200,000 to 300,000 troops. the spartans and the greece allies fought hard for 2 days. killing at least 4 thousand of persians a day. (the spartan king was fighting along side his men) on the thrid day the spartans told the remaining greece allies to retreat and the spartans would stay and fight. by this time the spartan numbered only about a little over 2 hundred. they fought long and hard on that third day. around noon the spartan king was fatally wounded deep in the persian lines. the spartans fought all the way to the corpse and retrived it. the spartans fought until their weapons broke, and their sheilds where nothing more the splinters, and even then they used their hands and teeth. the persians finished the off the spartans with their archers. it was a demoralizing victory for the persains. and just to prove the toughness of the spartans i give you this quote said by a true spartan when he heard that the persains had so many archers that the arrows could block out the sun, "good, then we can fight in the shade."

Ok, the ideal level for me would have two bases on opposite ends of a wilderness area with lots of high, steep mountain peaks and caves, along with vehicle paths. Each base would have an underground garage with individual stalls for warthogs, tanks, ATVs, ghosts, and some shadow tanks. Each base would have a forward sentry post with mounted guns on it, as well as a small garage with one warthog. Small bunkers would be embedded into the hillside of the mountains. that would be sweeeet

By now most all of you have probably seen the conversion of the single player Main Index Chamber inside the Library into a multiplayer map. If you haven't, you can get it off of FilePlanet. I think it would be cool to do something similar in CE so that you don't have to get rid of Chiron TL34 in order to play it. Some adjustments I might make would include adding some of the cool light bridges from the single player missions to go across the middle of the higher levels of the chamber. I'd probably include some vehicles spawn locations on the higher levels too, so that it doesn't take so darn long to travel all the way around the outside of the chamber. Sounds like fun, no?

P.S. If it's possible to convert the existing version of this multiplayer map (the version available on FilePlanet) over to CE, can someone tell me what I'd need to do to achieve this. The HEK, Halo Mapping Tools, and SparkEdit are all kinda confusing to me. Thanks.

Spartans are landing with 2 pelicans, 4 each pelican, Covenant Elites land with Bandits, and Brutes land with Phantoms. 8 Spartans, 8 Elites and 8 Brutes. with this setup you can do great things. I will develop a great 1944 like map! AND: I will make multiplayer maps based on my story, Work In Progress name The MCConto Chronicles. yeah baby!

see ya laterz.

i think you should make a map that deals with trench warfare, so it somewhat resembles what it was like in world warII. Just spiff it up and make it look futureistic. You should also make 2 bases on a on seperate hills overlooking one another and have a valley in the middle. The only way to t=get to the other base would be to go down the center of the valley to the other base.

My ideal multiplayer map would be a sprawling metropolis. Large malls, apartment complexes, college campuses, helipads, sewers, and power generators would be just the start. Maybe have a huge fountain in the center of the city which would crack and leak as it took damage. There would be cool sniper spots on rooftops, tanks at construction sites, and warhogs in a car dealership. For CTF, there would be two bases: a military base outside the city, and on the oppposite side of the city would be a bank. The twist would be that you could put either base in a lockdown mode so that the enemy couldn't get in. The only problem would be you would be stuck inside whatever room you were in until the lockdown was over. (5 minutes.) Also, it would be possible to destroy the power generator, causing red emergency lights to come on in the bases, but the lights to be permanently out in the rest of the city. To me, that would be an awesome map for 8 on 8 play.

What about a night fight...where you have to rely on your flashlights and the brightness of your allies artillery strikes...A map that recreates a setting of Omaha Beach with a little Pearl Harbor thrown in for kicks. Or maybe a big room...and thats it...A big room with plasma swords and a last man standing match...Or a true king of the hill where the only way to kill is by melee attacks. And you have to knock the others of the mountain...Nah the last one was stupid i am just too lazy to use the backspace key.
