Do you guys think it would be cool to have a custom map maker? One that you could construct maps in a Tony Hawk type fashion and then upload them for download over XBL?

I think this would not only add to gamplay, but incredibly increase it. We would not have to rely on Bungie for new maps, we could look to hard core map makers to get them, or make them ourselves.

Of course, this might be harder to implement than i though, but it could be easy. There would first have to be a setting chooser (Earth, Covie Cruiser, Human Frigate, Aplha Halo, Delta Halo, Beta Halo, Gamma Halo). Then there would have to be different kinds of bulding materials like roads, rocks, bushes, trees. Different kinds of earth. Also, there would need to be forerunner/earth/cove walls and stuff. Maybe even some pre-built structures.

Finally there would have to be weapon placement markers with time settingsm and vehicle placement markers.

This could lead to maps built soley for sniping, or soley for hog wars. I think this kind of thing would be promising, but im not a game designer, so i dont know how hard it would be to implement.

Wel, they're trying to implement it into Halo 2 PC, so i bet they'd do something to put it in Halo 3, which would be awsome, but the originaly mp maps are always awsome, so maybe in matchmaking only original or freaking awsome custom made maps get put on it, then just leave custom maps for custom parties and all, or something like that.

it probably won't come out in the launch CD.
but,
if the demand is high for it.
(very likely with time)
we'll be able to download that option.

Well, i wasnt implying MM, just custome playlists, or if it is a server list, then it would only matter if the game was ranked or unranked.

But you have gven me an idea:

Bungie could have a Custom Map of the Month. Each month a new map is chosen to be added to a certian playlist, or all if it is that good.
