I want a project to work on for Halo CE, but I need an idea for a map. Someone give me some ideas, draw something on Paint. Anything. I need ideas.

Thank you.

You could make a long map with two ovals and a very long canyon sprouting from the two ovals. :D

Or... hmm. Maybe a uh, Asteroid type map, near Threshold?

Hmm...

There is a huge, giant canyon with one platform on each side. One is blue base, one is red base. The only way to get to the other base is to walk a wide, long bridge which is full of holes, burning debris, busted cars, craters, etc. which is essentially a no man's land. Artillery strikes batter the bridge at regular intervals, and before each barrage, you can hear the shells being launched in the distance and seconds later it hits the bridge. Gun turrets should be placed at the entrance of each platform, at a fixed position of 90-180 degrees.

It should be good for CTF, or Invasion CTF. I could think of other ideas right now, too.

Another idea that I just spawned and dodged a Banshee with, is maybe a battle scene taking place on some debris of the Halo?

Or a huge tower with a single Flag on top of it, and both teams try to get to it. o.O

Thanks. But it's kinda hard to get an idea of what you're talking about. I would be really happy if someone took the time to draw me a map on paint :). When (or if) I make my map, I'll make it worth your time :)

Hmm, I am throwing together an idea right now on paint, O.o
<Avoids 1linerpls> It's a bit... crappy drawing. :P But hey, it's Paint.

Here is my rough concept sketch of the map.

Drawing! :D

That's all I can come up with, the grey is the bridge, the Red/Blue are the bases (respectivly), and uh... those are just an estimate on the size. o.o I'm not too good at those.

So it's not set to scale, right?

Why does that look so familiar...
Maybe because I already made it...
Considering I've never heard of you before, I'm going to bet you are a beginner. If you are a beginner, you'll never be able to make a map that big.

make a city with police hogs and normal hogs. Blue team would be cops and red team would be robbers. Vehicles should be destructible and there could be a police station(blue base) and a hideout(red base). that would be so sweet.

I am asking for map concepts, and I am pretty decent at 3d-modeling, I don't bite more than I can chew. I've also been working on scenery, sky and vehicle file, I'm even firmiliar with scripting.

It's good to see well-rounded mappers emerging. I just started scripting a few weeks ago (which isn't very long in relation to how long I have been mapping) and have been making vehicles since day 2 so to speak.
You should try to find something unique that no one else would think of doing.

I'm not really creating any release maps, I'm testing out and tinkering :)

Bad idea.
Virtual firefight in a school... That's just wrong..
ANd that was the WPI Campus, as in the outside.

why dont you do a map like this?

Yes the pic is too artistically sophisticated for humans,so you can understand it, but it gets at my basic idea. the brown thing is an Asteriod... IN SPACE! The red and blue things are towers. they can be used as BAses. in between, there is a hole in the ceneter of the ASteriod. YOu could have Shees at the top of the towers, hogs on the ground, ect

AND please, take pleasure in my artistic skills

not to scale btw.....

This would be like way 2 huge fore n e map maker to make but:

A map that starts out up in the snowy mountains (so a snowy/rocky part in the center). As you move down a ways you begin to exit the snowy area and into a more alpine forest kind of place (so trees, dirt, rocks, and rough terrain). Then moving along out of there you begin to exit the mountainous region and into a desert (sand...And ummm...Sand...Oh and flatness). After leaving the desert region you make your way 2 a beach (Sand, Grass, Water, rocks, ocean) and that would be the end of the map.

The map could be a full 360 degrees so you can go from all sides, or it could just bee a strip and you make your way down the strip. The map would also start from a high elevation like uphill and then downhill to the beach...

Great for race and CTF.



Here is a layout for it:
