I want to be able to create your own maps in halo 3 just like pc users in halo 1 2 get to do that

Halo CE......(sigh) the good ol' days......

“Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell that here, obeying her behests, we fell.”

that would indeed be incredibly awesome, but it better not be a random map generator kind of thing

If the map editor will be based on the console, then I say hell no. You can't make good maps using a controller, you need a PC. Far Cry's map editor was okay at best/

Rumours...


They're everywhere!

Yeah right says you, Far crys editor on the xbox rocked, It was simple enough for beginners and advanced enough for people who could make some really awesome maps, hey even if you think it isn't so great think of it this way it's still better than not having a map editor at all.

No map editor = worshipping Bungie's beautiful maps

Map editor = endless onslaught of garbage

Compare Far Cry's editor to that of any PC based editor, and you'll see what I mean when I say it was merely okay.

Wouldnt it be be nice to make a entire level with an editor. have AI controlled bots set up to rush a Covenant camp and then you setup where the MC appears.

Perhaps new maps could be constructed on programs that Bungie release on the internet. Then they release it on the Live Marketplace for users to purchase. We get our maps and Microsoft? Well they pretty much get richer than they already are...

The only thing that I would consider acceptable when it comes to a map editor would be to release one for download and use on your PC. You then create a map and have it go through an approval process of some sort (keep out the trash) and then have a fee (something like 100 microsoft points) to have it on the marketplace.

Given all the extra work that would need to be done for this, I highly doubt it would happen.

It would be awesome for custom games, especially if you could put AI bots in.

Bots, another idea I hate. I get the feeling that you people aren't ever going to agree with me though. I'll simply say that a bot will never be able to emulate a decent human player.

gazillion... hehe

and yes, I'd rather play Bungie's tried and true maps, than a bunch of garbage maps that some idiot decided was his gift from god.

So the -blam!- what? Ever hear of SSBM, it has bots that do a pretty good job, and while it's a given that it is far less complex, I think Bungie will be able to program decent bots with the extra time they have. I think it would be awesome so you could practice without having to be on Live or have another player present, so it's an advantage for everyone.

You're comparing simple bots from a beat em up to a complex AI required to emulate human ingenuity in combat? Not a good choice. Tell me, how would you go about telling a bot to do even 1/3 of the jumps on Lockout? How about jumping up onto a small ledge to get at the sniper from behind? You simply can't do it, even though Bingie may have some of the best AI coders, you simply can't do it.

thats not entirely true, the elder scrolls 3: morrowind has mods that allow NPCs to jump gaps, it tells them that if theres not an acceptable landing spot, not to do it. now since morrowinds AI and Scripts are INCREDIBLY simple compared to something that halo might have i honestly think with a little time bungie could do the exact same thing, seeing as how they use something which is far more capable. halo 1 and 2 may have no hope of it, but 3 sure as hell does, especially since it has all new hardware to run on,most of the AI problems from the first 2 were hardware related, not code. the 360s hardware allows for a lot more things, including more advanced AI. to be honest there are a lot of games that allow for random paths to be taken, and intentional ones to be used based on obstacles, danger levels and who needs to die the most. they are all on the PC, however im sure the 360 can handle the ai involved in those.

i'd sooner shoot myself than see Halo 3 butchered like that. Yes, Halo CE is cool, but a lot of the map are pure crap.

No, but if you and your freind dont have XBL, and want to do a 2v30 player game, then the bots come in handy. Bots arent horrible, they may not substitute humans, but they are still fun to kick the crap out of. Besides, they are always usefull when you dont have enough players in a game.

Alright, if the bots were used simply for that purpose, I could accept them. It could even make for a fun new gametype where you and a buddy just fend off an onslaught of flood.
