Halo 4 "Boarding action" (CE) ramake idea

Games Other Halo
1

I’ve never seen a remake of “Boarding action” one of my favorite Halo: Combat Evolved maps, I was wondering if anyone felt like making it into Halo 4 since we have a space map again ( for those whom fall to their death :smiley: ) and I thought it might be pretty fun, I’m not the greatest forger, and I’m not an xboxlive player, so I was wondering if anyone would remake it weather it be 343I or the community, anyone have any ideas to make this map or want to?

Heres a link if you forgot this classic map:

A post pointed me to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9sVZfRmmaI

which has a boarding action remake listed inside

next step is to wait for classic gametype then get enough publicity to get 343I to put it there

Or let people who see this topic before its bogged down into the depths of waypoint forums download it :smiley:

The problem with bringing in Boarding Action would be the DMR. With that weapon, you could easily cross-map all the time, which was not how Boarding Action is meant to be played.

In Halo 1, cross-mapping was much harder since you needed to lead your shots. Thus, I do not believe that Boarding Action would play well in Halo 4 as long as we have the DMR, which is a real shame.

I thought Sword Base was the remake. Kappa

Yeah, the problem is it would be too easy to cross map. The only thing I could see would be to make it so the bases were just out of the dmr’s auto aim range. That could kind of defeat the purpose though since the distances between the bases would be huge.

It’d be in classic gametype when 343I releases it, and i doubt this map would even become a map placed in there, this map is purely for custom game enjoyment, unless someone high up DOES read about this

Then have the forger not include DMRs on the map or in loadouts in Custom Games. Problem solved :slight_smile:

Cept no snipers/rpgs, no space no fun with portals, and you couldn’t fall to your death

It was cut in two but not at all like boarding action

Sword Base was supposed to be a hybrid between prisoner and boarding action.

You’re not looking hard enough.

Yeah, it would have to be a custom game since 343 wouldn’t put it in normal matchmaking.

Thank you, I figured it might’ve been done but I had doubts

Very true, but then a lot of people wouldn’t get to enjoy the greatness that is Boarding Action! Still, I guess it’s better than not being able to enjoy it at all!

It’ll be a long while before I get a good internet company again but I’m downloading this first thing (might b halo 5 instead though)

Then we can make a classic playlist so that the DMR will not exist.

for a game type like this only put in these weapons magnum, ar, rockets, plasma pistol, grenades, frags, and shotguns. the loadout as follows ar and magnum 2X frags. no weapon drops, only weapons placed on map, no dmr, br, <mark>no promethean anything</mark>, only weapons from ce (storm could be used to replace plasma rifles)
