I think adding a map maker to halo 3 would make it so much better. But obviously only have custom maps in custom games. That way you would never get bored of the levels and be able to do all sorts of crazy things. Like Making movies and hog races and mazes and so on.... Post What u think

Halo 3 with a map maker would just be like a 1st-person version of Starcraft. I'd like to keep the Halo feel, please.

I'd like to see some pretty extensive features as well as downloadable content (textures, objects, bug-fixes etc.).

Yah, but i think making a map should be really in depth so that each person doesn't have 50 maps within the first month. Making a good map should take alot of time and have lots of options. Like being able to make underground ways and caves (which i haven't seen in a mapmaker). I think it would also be the perfect thing for XBLMarketplace. They would have to make it to where when you join the persons game it doesn't download the map like in farcry, cuz then (obviously) the marketplace idea wouldn't work, and of course you can give map downloads for free to friends and that sort of thing.

thats a bit of a bad idea for the fact that everyone would send in there map. I would rather have people leave feedback on your map and it show some sort of ratio or something. They could even have a map (sounds kinda dumb...) leaderbaord, so that you know which maps are the best and worth downloading.

Then play the default maps. I, for one, think a map editor would be awsome and could possibly curb a bit of the modding problems the last game had.

If a maker was made it shouldn't be insanely easy to use. It should be extremely complex and intricute so people dont go making a bazillion maps and so certain maps could be original from all the others.

Dam them bungie people are good at hiding things........NOT!!!!!

Halo 3 BABY!!!!

Ya i like the map-maker idea but i still agrea with golden sniper it should be hella hard to make one so that newbs dont just lagg up the servers with all ther crappy maps and i also think that you should have too beet the game befor you can use the map maker cuzz then people would actuly get the halo feeling instead of just buying the game for the mapmaker and or multyplayer.

no it needs to be a little easy so people can use it without being programmers. maybe something along the lines of Tony Hawk, or Far Cry for XBOX

But then people like me and golden will not be able to get noticed by other people because of all those newbs that create these crapp maps. I still stand by my werd "It should be hella hard".

Yeah, It is a pretty sweet idea. Just like having halo 3 being a virtual reality game, and oh, have 300 person matches with no lag, and elimanating cheating ALTOGETHER. Lets face it guys, this would be pretty sweet, but its really just not possible. Sure its fun to imagine these things, but with a little common sense, you will realize why this wouldnt work. This map maker, as these forums are describing it, would be extremely hard to make. It would most likely be harder to make this than Halo 3 itself. The only way I see this being REMOTELY possible is if it is on a seperate disc, and is Bungie's main feature of Halo 3. But it won't be, because there are much better ideas out there. If you want to play make believe, that is your buisness, but I prefer to think of actual possibilities.

Know this is a good idea and no it woulden't be first person it would be like far crys which was a good system but better and more of the like. Like Warcraft+Starcraft+Far Cry Predetor map edtiors= Best Map Editor in the world!

Your claims are pretty baseless. They're making a map editor for Halo 2 PC. In all logic, there will be one for Halo 3.

A Halo 3 map editer would be cool. Where you can start from scratch just like Bungie does, and design every single detail. Every object, surroundings, weather, which weapon to be placed where. That would be the best ever.

In-game map editors are pretty simple. It'll probably give you the capacity to build single-tier maps with the ability to drop objects on the map (more or less).

But dont forget everyone who doesnt want one. Think of all the windows it would open.... Custom maps, Crazy Designs, New Levels.... I got bored of halo 2 maps quite fast and then i moved onto far cry instincts. That game has one of the best map makers ive seen. And i didnt get bored of that game because when i got bored of my level guess what .... I Made a new one.
