Ok, so what if bungie was not able to put a mapcreator into the game...what about just an engine to place specific weapons/ vehicles in certain areas of a map. Example: You want one team on blood gulch to have plasma weapons with covenant vehicles and the other to have human weapons with human vehicles, So you make a custom setting to have that on the level...This would greatly improve customability and be a very fun feature for custom games.

Yeah then you could have a custom game with Elites Vs. Spartans with their own weapons

....? its for custom games only....how can you complain about cheaters....in a custom game....

Halo 2 lives on.

cheaters couldnt take advantage of that because in H3 there will be no host or anything like that because bungie is going to have their own servers.

It would be OK in customs, maybe even a matchmaking setting where you can play with custom maps?

I think that bungie should make it kinda like tony hawks game are. They have specific sizes of maps, and certain things that you could put in there. You could also choose the spawn points and other stuff like that. If they wanted to they could have like small buildings, large buildings, but then you could also choose the design of it so you wouldnt get lost in your own map.

Please tell me your kidding.....first of all I'm missing the place where Bungie said that....second of all chances are if they did make dedicated servers they would not eliminate the ability to make custom servers....just like halo pc. 3rd of all....If its a bungie made server...then you cant cheat because its THEIR server...they make the gametype.

I think that i would be good for custom only i would get to complicated for matchmaking people who dont have the map would have to download it and i would take to long when you want to do serious games. but in custom games you know who your playing with so yo tell them oh download this map whnever you can so we can play its called ________ and you would tell them the name of the map thelle look for it in some kind of marketplace. no forget that they can do it like starcraft when you join a server and you dont have the map you automatically download it or a screen pops up saying would you like to download ______ ( name of map)the custom created map made by _________ ( gamertag off map creater) Down load time estimated to 0:13:45( hours minutes and seconds) Yes or No? any ways if that doesnt make it to halo3 wasnt halo 2 for windows vista gonna have it for sure it is always easier on a computer.
