343I should have picked better maps

Just posting my opinion but does anyone think they should have picked more complex maps to remake with Anniversary?
Most of the maps that were remade are maps that can be easily made in forge, In fact, Most I have played in the classic playlist or I have downloaded from this thread in Bungie’s Reach Forums. In my eyes good remake choices were 2 out of the 6 multiplayer maps, Timberland and Headlong.

Most if not all Halo maps can be remade to some extent in forge. Headlong is an example.

I personally think the map choice was fine anyways as I’m happy seeing some CE maps remade.

Remade > Forge Version

I know but I think when a Forge remake goes close enough to a real remake it feels like I’m just paying for a pretty version of what I have for free when they could have made something big. Try remaking Headlong in forge and you know why its DLC worthy.

I disagree. I am happy with all I see here: Battle Creek, Damnation, Prisoner, Headlong, Hang em’ High, Timberland. That’s an all-star list they have here.

(Ecspecially Headlong.) I <3 Headlong.

It’s already been remade in Forge and its a good remake at that.

heres the full list. theres only 6 maps confirmed right? these are the ones ive seen confirmed.

-Timberland
-Beaver Creek
-Headlong
-Hang Em’ High
-Damnation
-Prisoner

Personally, i will be happy to play maps that are not all grey in color scheme. It will be nice to have actual maps that have been designed and playtested for the game. It is also nice to see CE maps getting some love. It has been awhile.

I had both remakes, and BOTH couldn’t EXACTLY replicate every nook and crannie of that map, period.

Only map I was dissapointed in was Hang Em’ High… like we had that for CE and H2 (Tombstone)… really? The High Noon Forge Remake is PRETTY solid when it comes to that map. It was a pretty… plain map with just ramps and a couple rock things to hide behind.

My choice instead of it? I have a few:

Boarding Action

I am VERY shocked they didn’t even remotely think of this one. Jetpacking would be immensely fun and bring a whole new life to this map in a crazy, yet fun way! Jetpacks, Man Cannons, and Teleporters oh my! :smiley:

Would’ve been a great fit for a Medium sized map! WTF!

Terminal

I guess they didn’t want 2 city esque maps… but it’s one of THE best maps ever. And it’s not (at least to me) considered a Large map, more a Medium niche. Great symmetrical team based map. Again, don’t get why they didn’t pick 2 Halo 2 maps? Like comeon! :frowning:

Colossus

In a way I can understand why this didn’t get picked… still saddens me. Great CTF/Bomb and also Slayer. It does resemble Reflection and Damnation ALOT though as far as design. So I can see why we don’t need it…

Don’t get me wrong, Hang Em’ High is a great map… just gets old after a million plays (played it on CE LAN, H2, and Reach.) They could’ve filled that slot better IMHO…

I disagree. I’m very happy with the maps that 343i chose to remake. I would have thrown in Terminal in there though. But overall, I’m happy with the map selection. I know some have been remade by the forge community and are even included in the current, and dead, Classic Playlist…but I just get sooo sick of seeing all that grey. Having actual remakes will be a breath of fresh air.

What? The maps look MINT and they choose the absolutely right ones.

Keep in mind that all the remakes come with an alternate version.

They are giving me Headlong back… I will love 343 forever for this alone.
