Should halo 3 include a Map editor, so we can create out own mulitplayer maps and post them on live for other people to download and use?

Agreed. Something's bound to go wrong or whatnot.

True, Halo has some of the most complicated levels (just look at Halo 2), but if they keep the map editor simple (blocks, ramps, walls, borders, weapon locations, etc.... think of the tony hawk map editors) and only allow us to change the skin design (relic look, cov look, turf look, etc.) and no elaborate effects (so no bushes, waterfall/lake effects, etc.) it should be easy to create, use and include in the game.

Later on they could post a download that allows us to create more elaborate levels

No that's just like ever thinking you can play multi-player with bots which will never happen. Sticking with the Bungie maps is OK by me. Also map editor and Halo don't sound good together it map editor is something I associate with games like TimeSplitters and stuff.

Look, this has already been proposed, I think actually that the hedgehog would work better, well anyways, wouldn't the map maker just cause way too many maps to be made, I think that bungie puts a crapload of time into their maps, plus if you gusy made them, no offense but I think that there would be loads of bugs and spawnpoints in bad places and tons of unbalanced maps.

Exactly. You would have to search through all of the crappy maps to get to the good ones and we all know thousands of gamers will all be trying to make maps, most of which will not be good. I say leave it up to the professionals, leave it to Bungie to make the maps. Besides, having a map editor would make Halo 3 seem like so many other games that, well, just weren't that/as good.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

There will be a Map editor... in the PC version of Halo 3!

it would be cool to have, but would not work...look at farcry it has map maker
but you can't do nearly as much in them as the original maps. thats why there was one for halo pc because it's more complex and you need specific programs and such... and in that they should make it so ppl who make the pc maps be able to put them on live.
