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.
