Personally I think a map editor like that of Pariah or Far Cry Instincts would be a great idea to extend the longevity of Halo 3 even more.

Sol: a small, old school map.

Tha'd be pretty cool. People could put them up on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Or even better, people could send in their work on Xbox Live and Bungie could choose fan made maps for the next auto update. It wouldn't be as detailed as one for the PC would be unfortunately. There's only so much mapmaking one can do without a little Photoshop and such.

No matter what you do in life, you will disappoint someone.
No matter what you say, you will offend someone.
No matter what you think, someone will think you're an idiot.

Find and eliminate these people.

No no no never. I never want Halo to be disgraced by a lackluster console based map editor. They are all garbage.

It would just make modding easier.

No.

I want to play the maps that are made to be fun. I don't want some 12 year old placing all the guns/vehicles at a base and making the map unbalanced. No no no.

Why do you say that? I thought a mapmaker like Far Cry's was very intutitive, considering the limits of a controller. And look how many great maps have come from fans of that game!

Wouldn't work with the Xbox 360 controller. Not by a LONG SHOT..

I think that Halo 3 should also be released for PC.

Ever play FCI or Pariah? Those map editors worked perfectly well with controllers. And I imagine the 360 controller would be even smoother with that kind of editing.

And I tell you to look at the ratio of good maps to horrible ones. For every good map and I could find 40 bad ones.

I specifically thought of Far Cry's map editor when I made my comment, notice I said lackluster and not horrible. They are garbage because the best they can hope to produce is just that, garbage.

Well than why not just have custom maps for custom games and not matchmaking? Those who wanted to try good new maps could, and those who think they're all garbage could easily stay away. Although I guess this presumes Bungie will be keeping the same system for Xbox Live games...

  • 05.09.2006 9:37 PM PDT

Come to think of it, do we even know what system Halo 3 will use for online games? I seriously hope they improve that gat-dang matchmaking system.

A map editor for Halo 3 would be good, especially with the party system from Halo 2, but there would have to be easy ways of filtering custom maps.

It would have to be a program for PC then stream the map to your xbox 360.
