You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

Creating a complex map from scratch would be too difficult on the 360, however, they could make it so you can edit some of the pre-made maps by arranging and adding placeables differently all around the map. Placeables could be anything from explosive barrels to weapons.

However, this idea would not float well with any current AI technology for bots, because they rely on a system called pathing, in which the programmers add some code into the bot specifying where it is okay and not okay to go. If there suddenly was an explosive barrel in the way off a bot going where the code said it was okay to go, that could cause some problems.

So you'd have to choose between bots or a map editor is what it comes down to.

I think that there should be a really complex yet simple map maker. It would be great if later on there could be a custom model maker and texture maker to complement the map maker as an expansion

How about all of you genious's take your not so awesome ideas (like map makers) to the Halo 3 Ideas Thread

I'll say it again: It is much easier for Bungie to make money by selling you their maps, they will not let you make your own because then you have less interest in theirs. It is called Capitalism . Learn something about it.
