Every Halo game has had at least one remake from a previous Halo game on disc the day the game released.
Halo 2 had Beaver Creek (Halo CE’s Battle Creek) and Coagulation (Halo CE’s Blood Gulch)
Halo 3 had Last Resort (Halo 2’s Zanzibar)
Halo Reach had Reflection (Halo 2’s Ivory Tower) and Forge World remakes such as Hemorrhage (Halo CE’s Blood Gulch), Pinnacle (Halo 2’s Ascension) and Asylum (Halo 2’s Sanctuary)
Halo 4 had Ragnarok (Halo 3’s Valhalla)
(Of course, other remakes were made later on in DLCs)
So my question is, which map do you want remade to come on disc for Halo 5 when it releases?
My choices would probably be Sandtrap, Guardian, Terminal or Containment.
What would yours be?
PS: Try to pick a map that hasn’t been remade yet!
My number one would be Sandtrap. The amount of amazing Custom Games I played on that map surpasses anything from Reach or 4 (Minus Forge World). Plus, the Forerunner theme would make sense in this saga.

I want to see a remake of Rat Race. A map that has not seen a remake yet despite being one of my favorite maps of all time.
It might be a little hard because in Halo 1, Rat Race relied on Shooting powerups down, but I think there could be a way to emulate that type of gameplay in current Halos. Might need to make another route to cave for the map like a lift from bottom red to OS.
I would love to see how the map plays though, especially for KOTH and Extraction. Maybe even oddball.
Another map I want to see return is Turf. It was a map that was mad fun to play because of the fact that half the map is long range and the other half is short range. It had a rather unique style of gameplay that I rather miss.
Construct would be good as well, though I don’t think it would play well with sprint and jetpacks. Would kind of ruin the whole dynamic of the map’s top to bottom and gold to lobby gameplay.

If 343i actually goes through with making a Halo game that goes “back to basics”, there’s only one map I would definitely like to see in Halo Xbox One:
Honestly think we should have 10 new maps and 10 remakes.
MAPS AT LAUNCH:
I think Halo 5 requires about 20 maps at launch will be sufficient.
Map Types Required for Launch:
6 Small
6 Medium
6 Large
2 Very Large (Forge World Size)
And Fire Fight Maps to work with Match Making maps. Not to be new maps.
This may seem to be many maps, and a lot of work for 343i, but if half of these maps were evolved remakes of the best Halo maps. Then the hard work is already done. This would give Halo 5, 10 new maps and 10 remakes. Even 5 new maps and 15 remakes would be great.
Player Increase to 32, for Massive BTB and evolved Invasion/Dominion Playlist.
I’d like a remake of Sandtrap, but were you can go all the way to the big towers without getting killed by the Guardians. Maybe if they removed some of the sand they could put some more buildings there. Just a thought.
Actually I think i read somewhere that Sandtrap were supposed to bigger but they had to make it smaller for some reason. Not sure if this is true.
Or a remake of Guardian. Me and my friends had so much fun on that map playing koth.

> the map description
The map was set on a Forerunner Installation, surrounded by massive Forerunner towers, and dotted with Forerunner structures half buried in sand.
The only part of the map that had anything to do with the Jiralhanae was a crashed Phantom and a clear engagement with the UNSC Aegis Fate hovering above the map. That’s it. The rest is Forerunner.
While I’d prefer that Halo Xbox One focuses on creating new maps that adhere to arena style structure, the only map that I’d like to see remade would be Haven.
Haven was a great map and was certainly worthy of a remake.
Given the amount we know about the next Halo (nothing), its hard to determine which maps would fit. That being said, if I had to pick, I would like to see the following return in some capacity:
Following the pattern of remaking a map from two games back, I’d have to ask for a remake of Countdown. It is a very versatile map, it is symmetric and it was supported by the competitive community. Another map I wouldn’t mind seeing remade is Imago.
