Subject: Halo CE A Map Predictions

Ok, so it has been confirmed that 343 are giving us 7 maps with the Halo CE remake, 6 multiplayer maps and 1 firefight map.

At the minute we know this;

- Battle Creek - Original - Remake
- Hang 'Em High - Original - Remake
- Damnation - Original - Remake
- ??????? -
- ??????? -
- ??????? - (Halo Custom Edition Remake)
- ??????? - (Firefight Map)

Now, Frankie Said in the 343 Sparkcast that there would be a map from the Halo Custom Edition that was famous and awesome, and that we will have probably have already guessed it.
The map that springs to mind is Death Island which is basicaly the same size as the level The Silent Cartographer with a red and blue base either side, and would probably be great for forging on, given the Forgeworld inventory.

This Image here has the same red sand/green grass look to it, however there is not enough detail in the image to form a conclution as to wich map it is, as others have speculated it may be a remake of Danger Canyon. Although this image may hint toward it being Timberland

As for the other 2 maps, narowing them down is proving quite hard.
Blood Gultch is a no. Frankie said that because there is a perfectly good remake in Reach, there was no point.
Using this as a rule we can possibly rule out Rat Race, Derelict and Wizard as they all have decent remakes in Forgeworld.
Boarding Action may be the definition of Awesome, but Reach's engine 'doesn't do' ladders and so the map would have to under-go changes in it's design to work with Reach's MP :( *sad face

That leaves us with 5 maps; Sidewinder, Prisoner, Chill Out, Chiron TL-34 and Longest.
I'm not sure the last 2 would work relativly well in MP so that leave us with Prisoner which I personaly think will make it in to the game, Sidewinder and Chill Out, which is my other choice to make the game.
I know that Prioner has ladders, but I think that it won't be affceted too much by adding a grav lift.

I have a huntch that the Firefight map will be a location taken from somewhere in the campaign itself. Frankie also said that we would probably have guessed it also by the time of the release, but I can't put my finger on it at the minute.

I doubt Chill Out will be in b/c you can still play the Halo 3 version on the xbox 360

True, but then again, there is a Halo 2 remake of Hang 'Em High.

oh and to the guy above, could you tell me where they said about making Halo 2 and 3 maps, I don't remember hearing about it?
