I loved all the maps in Halo 2 and i'm hoping they release lots of map packs for Halo 3. So i'm saying no.

Are you dumb? You actually think that releasing a map editor would make Bungie not release map pack and potentially make more money? All a map editor would do is let users create maps when Bungie stops supporting the game. Wouldnt you like to get some new maps for Halo2 right now and not have to wait for Halo3. A map editor would allow that.

Anyone who says no is an idiot.

Agreed, there would be so much lifespan in the game if they did release an editor, and then Bungie could release map packs of there own doing and put in extra stuff that the editor couldn't do.
I get sick of playing the same small areas, nomatter what game, as there all the same.

Well.......

Pretty much none of us has been to a Graphics or Animation colege.

But if they just gave you loads and loads of props for the map you could place the on a map with different backgrounds.

Jungle, City, Beach, Volcano, Alien

At first i would have voted, yes. but when you think about it.. it would ruin the game i think.. ok map editor is cool! and i Love to make my own maps.. but we wouldn't almost be playin the original maps.. and we will be all making our own maps.. and there will be always many people who make a map in 1 minute or so.. without payin attention to the details in their map.. and those people are -blam!-! So i voted No. let bungie release more maps.. i know they wont drop halo 3 for a Loooong time

Use common sence people!!! It'll come preloaded with textures and props just like the farcry one on xbox. No graphics designers needed. This is a console, not a PC. Its obvious that you wont need a course to use it. Think before you type.

Again, Evil your not using common sence. Why is this so hard to do?? Bungie would not allow custom maps to be in matchmaking. They would probably be available only in custom games. I wouldnt wanna play user maps in matchmaking unless they're really good. Bungie could even have a contests and put the 5 best maps in matchmaking eventually. Bungie knows how to balance games.

Bungie could even use the best one and eventually put them in matchmaking but in the end user created maps will be seperate from the ranked game.

The art to good shooting lies in the ability to aim at where your opponent isn't, and miss.

A good map designing tool would take quite a long time to make. If Halo 2 had a map designer, the gameplay on just about every map would suck, because its the wrong style of gameplay.
With the amount of things people complain about in Halo 2 and the many bugs in the Farcry Map maker, can you imagine how much hate mail would be sent to Bungie employees? It would over take the forums with all the crap about peoples problems with the map maker.

So, my answer is No!

Although, I would like the maps to be more customisable with places for territories, hills and what weapons go where and stuff like that.

I will say no sure it will be fun for awhile but then it will just be crappy, but I won't complain if Bungie includes it with Halo 3.

But thats the thing, custom maps would be seperate from the normal game. Kinda like when the downloadable maps first came out and the people who bought them played seperately from everyone else. Same thing.

God i hope Bungie doesnt take this forum too seriously cause all i see is dumb ass responces.

They don't.

If they have these custom maps in Matchmaking then HELL NO. but if it's just for custom games than sure why not.

Map editor would be cool but the tool hes talking about would go under a map maker sense it allows you to change a specific thing in the map like a room but a map editor would have power over stuff in the map like the time of day the weather where stuff or when stuff spawns and crap like that any thing more in depts than that ,that is not already in the previous Halo's would well make Halo 3 un halo like.

What are you talking about? We would get the same map editor Bungie uses with a few modifications. How is that "un-Halo".

No. I'll tell you why.

Ever go into an online match in Far Cry? Have you seen how many terrible maps there are, such as giant thousand foot tall staircases leading nowhere, or maps where one team spawns with all of the weapons and the other team gets nothing? I don't want to play in a custom game where the host thinks his map is so cool, when in reality it is complete crap. Trust me, every person does this, and it will ruin custom games permanently if people can play their maps online. Nobody will be "playing" anymore games, such as capture the flag or king of the hill. Instead, people will just be running around a map that only one person knows. Trust me, ever since I played Far Cry online, I have dreaded a map maker. I would rather not be able to make my own maps than play crappy maps that other people made whenever I go into a custom game.

So the answer is no. End of story.

You guys seem to be missing the point. You don't have to play crappy custom maps people made, no one is forcing you. There will still be tons of people playing regular matchmaking and custom games on the Bungie-made maps. The map editor is there for those of us who are creative enough to create our own [good] maps.

There should be a map editor for sure, to everyone that says no I expect better reasons than "it's unHalo" or "crappy user-made maps".

I'm afraid you don't really know what I'm talking about. Yes, there is matchmaking, but not everyone is going to want to play matchmaking. You do know that you have to download another person's map to play it, right? I don't want to wait one minute everytime I enter someone else's game to download their map, only to find out it is boring or poorly designed.

Also, the map creator will be at a distinct advantage when he plays. He will know the ins and outs of basically every part of the map. It would destroy the fairness of the game completely. That in of itself is enough to make me not want to play another person's map online.

I know that peole will still play custom games on the default maps, but there will be many more playing on their custom maps. I don't want to search for hours trying to find a good game. I doubt you have ever played Far Cry in any of its forms, so please don't tell me that you really want to see a map maker. Or, if you have played it, you might just be one of those kids that enjoys running up ladders and just jumping off for the sake of falling. That's not my idea of fun. That's not what the game was meant for.
