Hello forum goers. I am starting a new forum series where I express my opinions on Halo 4. This entry is about multiplayer maps.
Multiplayer maps need to do three things…
- Play well. Balanced. Easy flowing ect.
- Fun. Simple…
- Memorable. Unique.
Ex. Last Resort. The map with the giant wheel.
Maps I would want remade.
Medium Sized…
- Guardian.
- The Pit.
- Lockout.
- Wizard.
- Midship.
- Sanctuary.
- Narrows.
- Terminal
I think thats about it on my list. Not all of those to be remade of course but a handful…
BIG maps.
- Sandtrap. (Just add a little bit more level to it…more diversity.)
- Last Resort.
- Bloooood Gulch.
- Headlong. (Make it work…unlike Reach.)
- Highlands. Only good Reach map in my opinion.
I know theres many more good maps but I just can’t think of any…ha.
Map Ideas.
I only have one right now.
Ruins.
It is an asymetrical map. It is a ruined/destroyed village. The buildings are made of sandstone like material. Yep…
Any ideas?

I just spent 30 minutes typing this…
Anyone?
I honestly wouldn’t mind it if every single Halo 2 map was in Halo 4. :3
Halo 2 Anniversarry?
Thats what i’m looking forward too.
Just a reminder but bumping threads isn’t allowed, okay?
Sandtrap is actually pretty damn diverse if you ask me. It’s my favorite Halo BTB map.

Oops. Yes sir/ma’am.

Well, I dont think there is enough…spice.
not enough extra. Maybe an underground tunnel or some higher levels?

Not automatically assuming snickerdoodle is a guy? Holy crap! A first! We have a winner!
Anyway. All the maps you listed, I love. Valhalla would be a great return, and I think Chiron TL-34 would make a GREAT CQC map should that return, and they could make it work with the SPARTAN-IV training. The original map was said to be a SPARTAN-II clone training facility. Now it can be described as an S-IV training facility.
As for unique maps I’d to see? I’d like to see more winterized maps. Snow and the like.
Let’s see…
Here’s a very lazy one!
Snow Ground - A remake of High Ground, but with a snowy touch. Random snow precipitation will occur on the map. Not always, but it’d happen. Not a very unique map, but still. Like I said. Lazy.

Yay I win!
Chiron…mabey. If jetpacks are in H4 then i’t would be interesting.
And I like the “Snow Ground” idea.
Remake maps with different ecosystems.
Fire/lava (ooh)
Snow.
Sandy.
Water schemed. (Maybe we’ll finally get boats)
I’d love to see construct, guardian, the pit, midship (but i doubt it, because it was already remade for halo 3), blood gulch and hang em’ high

YOU just gave me another idea!
How about Snowbound, thawed out? You could have the UNSC boats on outskirts of the map, and mines that will detonate if you go too far out.

Wow. Genious.
Hey 343? come here.
Nice I’ll try to follow you if i see your threads.
> Nice I’ll try to follow you if i see your threads.
Awesome!
I’ll probably post every friday or somthing like that.
I’ve been saying this for years, but I would love to see an EXACT replica of Lockout. With updated graphics, new VFX (Snow flurries, glowing green aura where shotgun sits, and possibly some ships or sentinels in the surrounding area, as if it were being revisited by forerunners)
Other than that I think a great map would be an Old Mombasa level (A la Turf, District) with lots of alleyways and buildings you could go In and Out of.
> Sandtrap is actually pretty damn diverse if you ask me. It’s my favorite Halo BTB map.
But i think Sandtrap needs more sand… atleast 2 cubic ton!
I’m with Texx.
I’d love to see more urban environments, too. That was one of my favorite parts about Halo 2’s multiplayer. A lot of the maps were urban and familiar instead of mysterious, though I did like Halo 1’s mysterious maps, too.
I want to see a mix between the two types of maps for Halo 4, and it looks like it’s headed in that direction with the two they’ve shown us so far.
The way I see it, if they improve the Forge mode any more than they did in Reach, then they may never need to sell you another map ever again. These maps get remade all the time with striking accuracy, even with Reach’s tools.
Nice post there were some great maps in H2 /H3 not so much in REACH - maybe a few
HALO 4 needs better maps
