we should have an automatic downloading thing so we dont have to manually go to the website and download the map, like counter-strike, we can just download the map from the host. It would help alot with people joining games, cause no one ever joins my games because they dont have the map and are either too lazy to get it or dont know how too.

People have requested this, and it would be a somewhat good option for dedis only. Too bad it would never happen.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

That could be implemented, but Gearbox and Bungie would need to do some massive overhauling of the game.

The problem with this is that maps are large files (on average a CE map is 20-30 mbs, while PC maps are about 15-25) and having up to sixteen people downloading that file at the same time from the same server... Would it be able to handle it?

Excuse the bitterness, but remember that when the aimbot was released, these three companies were the ones who preferred to point fingers at each other as opposed to actually fixing the damned problem. Do you honestly expect them to create a download manager?

That wouldn't be too much of a problem, all you would have to do is compress it (alot). It would take a while to unpack, though.

Heyyo,

You can use HaloSpyCE... it has an ability to search many websites for a specific map and get it for ya. Not as cool as auto-downloading, but comes close... google it up my friend. ;)
