Do you think that Halo 3 should have a map editor like in Far Cry so you can make your own maps and share them on Xbox Live. Don't make it exactly like Far Cry's map editor but make it better and you have more features.

i would absolutely love for one. it would add a LOT more replayability. people would have to be on to get new maps. i, also, think that they should have a section either in the marketplace or in the xbox live menu where you can like upload your maps onto the server and people can acces it anytime, anywhere.

Yes it would be a great idea, but it would have to be perfect or otherwise it will pull the whole game down. Maybe a easy use mode and a Programmers mode for people who use Visual C++ for instance *cough* me *cough* to build uber cool maps.

1. How the hell should this work? I mean I had Far cry and it was maybe...10000 on xbox live from the start and 9999 of them had custom maps and i tell you, it was a pain in the ass to download maps atleast 9 of 10 times you join a game.

Let watch how it will be on halo 3, from the start it will be maybe... a half a million players online you have to download maps 10000 / 10 times you join a game.

And... Not everyone has broadband. I mean, your downloading the map from the host, that maybe has a bad connection, he hosts for 15 players and he maybe sits in sweden and you in china, it will take forever... just leave this stupid idea to the other game studios...

This is Halo, there not going to put in a map editor, it would have a lot of negative effects on the gameplay. I really hope they dont listen to you guys. It would take longer to load. It would lower the gameplay in other aspects. NO map editor

Does anyone understand that if 100 other games can do it an EPIC end to a story line could do it?

Don't care/neutral.

On one hand, those fans that are good at making balanced maps for CE would be able to crank out quality maps for the 360.

On the other hand, the vast majority of maps made will be created by kids who have no idea how to effectively utilize the feature, so they, either inadvertantly or intentionally, make crap maps that would suck all the fun out of the game.

I have made several posts on this matter and the general concensus is 'Hell Yeah!'
A map editor would be fantastic!, the ability to create and share ones own levels would be a step forward for console gaming. Of course games like FC have had a map editor, but nearly every PC game has one as standard. This is something the console market needs to cop onto. With a network such as XBL the possibilities are endless!

Have a Seperate place in matchmaking, one where theres rankings and the only maps are official bungie made ones, then there would be a diffrent place where you could play user created maps,probably unranked.

I think a map editor would be a good idea, especially for MLG.

Now, I'm not a huge fan of that community and a lot of the arrogant attitudes that it spawns, however, I think professional gaming has a real future, and if a game like Halo 3 (which will no doubt be an MLG flagship after it's release) allows the league to create their own balanced maps that suit the competitive needs of professional gamers, I think we'll be taking steps in the right direction.

Don't care.

If Halo 3 has a mapmaker, then I'll definately fiddle around with it. If it doesn't, I won't be disappointed.
