So this would be a new multiplayer map for Halo 4. It could be set on the Forward Unto Dawn while it is exploding as seen in the trailer, and during the game, it would be drifting closer to the structure. So, this would feature rooms that have some kind of gravity thing on, and the rest would be zero g, where you could float around, possibly use your thrusters? But anyways, the ship would be on fire and exploding. There would be more places than just seen in the trailer obviously. Weapon pickups could be floating around the map, so you can't guard a spot until the weapon spawns, it spawns wherever and floats around. But back to the map, you could go up to higher floors, by going through holes or stairs or even going outside the ship and flying up to the next floor and back in. Having it so you can go outside, would allow the map to be bigger, Snipers could go out here. You could have something like the altitude lock with your thrusters, this would be unlimited. But bigger bursts of the thrusters take away energy. But the outside part would allow for more room and diversity and even balance. I'm not sure if vehicles should be in this map or not, maybe some new, very small vehicle that shoots plasma bolts, like the ghost, but it flies. It would be even smaller though, and be built in a circular way around the person, would be a Forerunner vehicle, maybe have very weak lazers (Weak compared to other lazers) on it instead. But this would be a great map, allowing zero g environments and fun gameplay. Would you like this map?

While the match is going on, the Forward Unto Dawn would draw closer to the structure until the game is over. In the last couple seconds, the screen dramatically gets brighter until you can't even see anymore (Happens when time is up) and dramatic music is played throughout the whole match (Perhaps music made just for this map, that would last exactly as long as the match would, that would be awesome) and reach a climax in the last couple seconds after the awesome music comes on.

The map could be either Zero-G, or Low-G. I haven't decided yet because I don't know how you would exactly move around in Zero-G without some kind of Jetpack. And the controls would be difficult even if you did have one. So I'm thinking Low-G, also because that structure definately has some kind of Gravity. Would you like this map? Please comment and vote.

Hey man i just voted and i think this is a really amazing idea, if 343 actually made maps like this were the map is actually changing during the match i think matchmaking would get a big boost in there multiplayer matchmaking fan base.

Thanks, the teaser gave me the idea and so did a forge map when I saw someone try to recreate the scene from the trailer and I was like, this would make an awesome Multiplayer map. I posted this on the 343i site awhile ago. They liked it over there too. But more people are on Bungie.net. I think I should put this in the Flood too as more people are in the Flood. If only I could put it in the Reach forums :P

I hate 'zero-g' in my MP maps... so... your idea gets a thumbs down. Sorry.

I could have just quoted this and left it at that, but I'll go for a little bit longer of a post. Zero gravity only ruins gameplay. I'm sure you can understand why if you've ever played Anchor 9 and, to a much more serious extent, Condemned. Your idea gets another thumbs down from me. I'd prefer a map that plays a lot like The Pit, Turf, or Construct over this. Good gameplay is much better than casual and idiotic ideas being put into maps. Anchor 9, Zealot, Condemned, and Backwash all come to mind as examples of stupid ideas, and they probably should not have been carried out. This map sounds worse than Backwash, Ascension, The Cage, or Condemned. If you're actually serious about this idea, you should quit Halo. Or at the very least never make a thread on any forum ever again.

Then don't play the map. There's a lot of other people who like the maps with low-g because it's a change in gameplay. Nobody said you would have to play the map. Halo 4 will no doubt have the maps that suit your style too, but it should also have some maps that would come into where most of the Halo battles were, in Space. Why does everyone want the same things as the previous Halos? If you want that, just play those games and get CEA.

Halo is a team game. Why do you think you get exp after each win, not for only YOUR kills as in MW2? Read the books. Lone Wolves die, stay with the pack.

MLG Players would throw a fit.. RANDOM weapon spawns? uh oh..

You're missing the point. 343 won't make the same mistakes that Bungie made. Your idea promotes bad map design. 343 will probably go for a style inspired by maps like Lockout, The Pit, Derelict, Hang Em' High, Turf, Zanzibar, Headlong, Containment, Longest, Construct, and Midship. Leave space in the campaign. It doesn't belong in multiplayer. Space areas only break an otherwise good map, both Anchor 9 and Condemned being examples of this, and make bad maps even worse. Again, your idea is stupid and has no chance of being considered. The fact that you posted this dumb idea on Bungie.net rather than halo.xbox.com makes it even less likely.

Everyone would throw a fit. Randomness breaks maps and makes them both less enjoyable and less competitive. No one would like this map. I think the OP is just trying to make a map that can top Backwash and take the title of worst map in Halo history.

What people never understand is that all ideas are going to have issues with them and you can fix those or come up with new ideas to work around them I think the concept of this map is awesome and would allow a new kind of fight in Halo while not detracting from other maps.

In the end, the map design is broken. Anyone with a brain can see that just by reading his idea. Some ideas need to be let go of, especially when they weren't good ideas to begin with. This is one of those ideas.

It sounds like an amazing map to me and Blood Gulch give the guy some credit hes worked hard coming up with this.

And he failed in the end. It was never a good idea and he must have been drunk when he posted this. No one could be dumb enough to suggest this. The fact that it's on the B.net forums instead of halo.xbox.com tells me that he knew it was a dumb idea to begin with. The map is terrible and it will definitely not get into Halo 4.

  • 07.12.2011 9:33 AM PDT

stop hating bro if you dont like the map idea thats your problem you have already posted your opinion you dont have to keep on saying it i think its a really creative idea and deserves to be in halo 4.

Sounds good. Would also be good for Machinima's, possibly Red Vs Blue?

You really have to calm down. You're acting wayyy too serious about this, and the whole "he must have been drunk" part was just immature.

Sounds Good.

After you said this, you made the rest of your statement invalid. It does not deserve to be in Halo 4, and it won't be. Not only is this a bad idea, but he also posted this in the wrong forum. halo.xbox.com is the way to go if you want your ideas noticed.

I know a bad idea when I see one. How is that acting like a nerd? Oh, that's right. You're one of those B.net kids who have no idea what that means yet. And how would you know if I'm getting angry? This is the internet. There is no way to sense emotions. I'm just telling every one of you ignorant children that this is a bad idea. It doesn't matter what your puny brains tell you. A map like this would only break Halo 4. I'm not going to let that happen.

What, so this idea was some kind of joke? I'm taking this seriously because I want Halo 4 to be as good as it can be. Ideas like this will only lead us to get another Reach.

I think the author wanted to know what WE thought, other b.net users.

No, it did not make his ENTIRE statement invalid. It just caused you to see him as stupid in your eyes, and therefore you decided everything he said was stupid.

This is posted on BUNGIE.NET. Of course it's not going to be in 4. The author has no chance to get this into 4. We all know that. He likely knows that.

Op never had the idea of suggesting this to 343, he simply wanted our opinions on his idea. So instead of putting people down and acting like a right retard, give him your opinion, if you dont like it, tell him whats bad aout and and how he could imrpve on it. And if you want Halo 4 to be as good as it can, acting like an ass on the Bungie forums isnt going to help you achieve that.
