Far Cry has it, why not Halo 3?

Why would we make it that much easier for people to modify their maps?

Pacman has little fruit powerups. Why not Halo?

Is Halo 3 Farcry?

Final Fantasy has summons, why not Halo 3?
map editor is a tool to create your own custom maps. Thanks for posting something "useful"

map editor's sole purpose would be to create your own maps, not "mod" existing maps. Thanks for your input! /sarcasm

i am a farcry player and map builder and i think a map edtior is nesesary to keep halo 3 from getting stale

  • 06.14.2006 1:28 PM PDT

Those without swords can still die upon them.

That would be pretty bad, since the way Xbox Live works is that each person in a game has to have that map on their console, and since there is currently no way to trade content from person to person.......

Well. You get the picture.

Of course, little fruit power ups would give Halo3 an 11 at xbox mag, but they said it can't be given so , we won't be seeing any fruits....

that's why you would play custom games. I'm sure that Microsoft can create a way for use content to be available on Xbox Live Marketplace.

i really hope the implement this!

I agree a map editor would be cool, but if they release one then people will -blam!- and moan about how they can't play them on Live. I think system link can be done, if the map file is transfered to the other Xbox(s), but alot of people will not understand the complications and problems that will arise if they are on Live. With that said, stay safe with no map editor.

I thought they were already thinking about making a map editor or map maker. That's what one of my friends says. His dad works for Bungie or Microsoft...one of those.

I know they can do it, but the fact that it's on Live is the problem. Allowing people to send user created content over Microsoft's servers is basically an invitation for people to mod, even if they aren't causing a problem or harm. A decent check and balance system to check content is unreasonable also.

Well i don't really see the harm. In Timesplitters, you could create a map and then once you save it on live, people could just go and download it. Or you could start a game and then when people joined they would have to download the map if they wanted to play in your game. Same thing in Farcry. Now i see why you would be concerned with people modifying the content of the maps to cheat, but they would only be able to cheat within a custom game, so you could just leave if you didn't want to play.

how would you modify the game with the map editor? i think that bungie will probably implement a mad editor seeing as how they are creating one for Halo 2 vista.

It's a bad idea because the maps are built differently than Farcry or Pariah.. It just doesn't work the same.
