Don't you guys think it'd be awesome if you could design your own map to play on?? Maybe not availble for Xbox Live, but maybe for System Link or split screen! It'd still be pretty fun, designing you own foliage and cover, weapon spawns and vehicle spawns! If you agree or have any other ideas, post em!

It would be cool at first but then it would go downhill, like Pariah one of the worst games of all time.

or stupid ones like 8 scorpions on a map with abosolutely no cover except a tree.

Doesn't Far Cry have a map builder in multi-players? Seems like an obvious step up.

No, the overall quality of maps would go down.

Plus, it wont happen.

This would be a nice feature, but it would need to be toggled wether you want it or not. Plus, would you have to download the 6,598,423,642,584 maps?

I dunno. The custom maps made for halo pc rock. Even those that aren't just copies of halo 2 or concept maps. So it could rock, though it would be extremely hard on a 360. This is where vista's connecty stuff come in.

Halo 3 I think would be too complex for map sharing.

To have a map to make, people would have all different ideas. So I really like the idea, and it would be 10x better if it was avalible on xbox live.

Xbox Live? Heck no. Can you imagine the lag if you have millions of people trying to send eachother maps over Xbox Live? I think it would suck. Plus you would have a bunch of LITTLE KIDS who are party leaders who want to play on their map during a custom game.

P.S. Again. That would suck.

  • 05.22.2006 3:56 PM PDT

The main purpose of custom maps goes something like this. I can never find the damn peanut butter at my local grocery store that I've been to only a few hundred times, but I can tell you where to pick up extra plasma grenades on ALL of the halo 2 multi-maps, and that makes me sad.

nah designing good maps would take like 30 years, some people would make awesome maps but if you could get the good ones you would have to wade through all the sucky ones

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

That'd be crazy... CRAZY AWESOME!!! Then the host can post their fav maps to Bungie. And the game's host can host their own maps.

i strongly disagree.

if you haven't figured out how to make your own maps using Halo:CE on PC using the HEK, then you aren't qualifyed to make your own maps.

Why? because 95% of maps would SUCK. and they would suck BAD! give peons tools and they make lopsided crap.

Leave the map-making to the professionals, and those who understand the intricacies of the maps.

Yeah, I guess we'll just let the modders have all the fun with their map making skills...
