Imagine a huge map similar to Headlong, but bigger with taller buildings. It would resemble Hang em High by having bridges connecting these monstrous buildings. There would be 3 levels of bridges. You could go through the buildings to get to these bridges or you could go up a ramp at the bottom of the map leading up to the bridges. You could even jump from level to another. This would be a 32-64 player map (hopefully Halo 3 supports thismany players online).

This would be a massive mixture of Headlong and Hang em High except more bridges than Hang em High. It would have about the same number of buildings as Headlong, but this would be okay because the buildings will be taller. This map could be cool with fall damage or without it because of differing strategies.

Vehicles: 2 warthogs, 3 ghosts, 1 banshee, and 1 tank by default; You could change these options and have some crazy vehicle matches

Anybody like this idea? It seems cool playing in my head.

sounds like that one halo 1 map that was similar to hang 'em high (the name escapes me,but it had 3 levels and was brownish in color, and a rocket and invisibility on a tower in the middle). except this one would be bigger of course.

It would actually be more like Headlong though. So it would be a mixture of an Earth city like Headlong and Hang em High.

It would be nothing like Prisoner. Is Headlong like Prisoner? No.

does anyone actuallly play headlong? i know ive played it a few times then decided to never play it again. it is huge and takes 10 min to find an enemy

That's why it would support 32-64 players. With 64 players I don't think it will be hard to find people. Read the whole post people.

what if the buildings were high up(think assincion) and were connected by bridges like the one that falls down in zanzibar, and have secure gates like in zanzibar also? that'd be awsome.

Okay, that's exactly what I posted in different words. The buildings would be high up and would be connected like bridges. The gates are a new idea though. Why can't people read a whole post.

Read the sticky consarnit! There is a MP idea thread.

Sigh... I'll go along for the ride then - wouldnt this be the new Ivory tower? Open up the top to more buildings?

Why do lots of people think there are going to be 64 player games in halo 3? This seems a ridiculous number of people, if you think about it you experiance lag in 16 palyer games, think what the lag would be like in a 64 palyer game. The limitation here is not the game or the fact halo 2 is on the xbox and not the 360. The limitation is peoples internet connections. I think the maximum number of players we will see is 24, if we are lucky.

You can see other buildings from the top of Ivory Tower, perhaps you could add walkways from Ivory to another building.

The only thing might make this map a bad idea is if they dont include fall damge because people would jump from level to level instead of going down stairs or whatever.http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?j0qpep909do is this what u want your map to look like?
