Lack of Maps? Why not rip them from campaign?

There were maps in Halo Reach that were in campaign…
The one on the mission nightfall…believe it was called powerhouse.
Broadwalk from Long Night of Solace.
Can’t you do this again?
The area just outside the space elevator on Meridian…
That would be an awesome FFA map imo…
Get maps fast which work…
Thoughts?

Maps should be purposefully built around arena gameplay.

The problem with Campaign spaces is they don’t usually follow that mentality, or rather they aren’t restricted to that mentality. A flat, wide open plane is entirely acceptable in a Campaign mission so long as it has cover and looks pretty, as the only purpose it needs to serve is being suitable for fighting AI and being immersive. Yet that same space would make for a pretty uninteresting multiplayer map at best, and a woefully broken and imbalanced one at worse.

My guess with those examples is Bungie made the Campaign Levels then intentionally reshaped portions of them to work in Multiplayer, instead of just ripping out random parts of the Campaign and saying “this is a multiplayer map now”.

> The maps from reach were made for multi-player first

Actually that was my very first guess but I didn’t initially say anything because I didn’t know for sure.

Actually you have it backwards. The maps from reach were made for multi-player first and then put into the campaign to save time. But yeah campaign maps shouldn’t be used in multi-player but you could get inspired maps from campaign like how rats nest was inspired from crows nest in halo 3 campaign

I would still prefer some original maps. Also, Genesis and Meridian seem to be relatively boring areas both in level design and art style. Some of the areas on Sangehelios might make decent multiplayer maps though. In particular a map on the Kraken would be pretty interesting.

Semi Off-Topic, but someone made a forge map inspired by the Genesis missions.

How funny. When this was done in Reach the masses cried and the complaints were non stop about that. Now here we are with people wanting it done. Another example of no matter what is done there will always be complaints. Not that you are complaining OP, I’m just saying.

Yes, there will always be at least one person complaining about something, simply because humans are free-thinking individuals with different beliefs.

That’s not insightful, nor is it indicative of any sort of pattern.

Sorry if that’s harsh but that rhetoric is really starting to annoy me. Just because you will always have critics doesn’t mean fans as a whole can’t be or aren’t ever satisfied, or even that it’s the same people complaining.

Actually it is rather insightful, but I didn’t say it was any kind of a pattern. Although when you think about it, it is that also. Most of the threads in the forum for this game very much repeat the pattern of these forums going back to at least Halo 3.

And Ramir3z77’ I’m not trying to have an argument with you or even bother you with that statement. However what you said in your reply agreed with what I said, human nature and all. I wasn’t making a point of that, I was only commenting that I found his comment funny, after having lived through the Reach forum complaints back in the day. Just amused, that’s all. I don’t care if they do maps from campaign or not. I was just amused. Sorry if that offended you, as it seemed to do.

That would actually be awesome. imagine the Kraken being part of the map. You would have close quarter battles inside and epic banshee/phaeton dogfights in the air arround it. add some vehicle action to the ground (with a gravity lift to get inside the kraken) and I would play the -Yoink- out of that map.

Campaign maps are still better than forge maps…

Please don’t give them any more lazy ideas

lack of maps?

why not spend some of that few million dollars you made from req packs and develop new original maps
