Of course I want Blood Gulch. For some reason it’s just not Halo w/o that d-mn canyon. . . But please 343, give me a REAL blood gulch remake.
But I’m anxious for the return of Lockout/Blackout or Guardian. Narrows was one of my favorite H3 maps. Sidewinder and Zanzibar are also two maps that never made it into Reach. Really I’m hoping for a good mix of new maps/classic maps. I’m assuming that the map count doesn’t include 343 forged variants? Like Asylum or The Cage?
Valhalla, Sandbox, and a larger version of Foundry. A reimagination of Ice Fields would be lovely too.
Longest, Derelict and Citadel. The only 3 maps that deserve a remake ever.
Glad we have forge for that :’)
In my opinion it would be kinda cheap if they remade maps, since we can just recreate them in forge.
But if I must pick one then it will probably be guardian or the pit.
Small maps: Heretic/Midship, Cold storage/Chill out, Guardian, The Pit, Lockout/Blackout
Big maps: Avalanche, Valhalla, Standoff
None. new trilogy new maps.
God, please no remakes. The day a bloody Reach map is remade is the day halo is dead to me.
Unfortunately with the inclusion of sprint most of those old maps we know and love are going to need a complete overhaul to function as they once did. Don’t get me wrong i’d love to see guardian, lockout, the pit, and midship, just to name a few. I just don’t know if they would play the same. Maps like valhalla, rat race, and zanzibar could propbably make the transition with little lost in translation though.

Why would I want remakes if we can get new maps instead?
If I want to play Waterworks I’ll go play Halo 2…
i wouldnt mind seeing a remake of zanzibar again.
New maps only please. Not that I don’t love the old maps it is just Halo 4 is going to have a different style and flow which will mean those old maps won’t work as well.
Take Blood Gulch in Reach, it is awful.
Honestly, Hemorrhage in Reach was awful and a symbol that Blood Gulch (as much as we loved it in the past) needs to be retired. I mostly want new maps. However, if I were to pick three maps to bring back it would be Terminal, Containment, and Sand Trap.
Last Resort, I miss that giant windmill thingy. That and sandtrap but if there are elephants.
There shouldn’t be any remakes on the disk. People will always vote for familiar maps and people are going to play them the same way they have in the past. Also, the more remakes, the fewer new maps are on the disk… bad idea. I want the first couple days of Halo 4 to be completely new, let me experiment with all the new setting and explore the new maps without conforming to the way an old map played.
With that being said, I want there to be a ridiculous amount of remakes available. I’m talking somewhere in the ballpark of 16 maps, in two separate maps packs. I know people have their problems with downloadable content, but this would accomplish a couple things. First, it would alloy the new maps to get the primary amount of matchmaking time they deserve for people to get familiar with them since not everyone would have these remake map packs. Bungie was hesitant to release remakes they thought didn’t work with the new game, with a huge map pack there definitely in the possibility of the map not working out, but let the community figure that out. With more maps you’ll hopefully see some succeed, instead of getting 1 or 2 remakes that the developers have tested and know they work, you’ll probably get at least 2 that work well, hopefully more. Increase their chances of succeeding by offering some options in forge to alter the map a little bit. Large map packs would also make the Map Pack Playists have greater replay value by having a better map selection. Keep the two sets of 8 maps similar to each other (8 small-medium, 8 medium-large). Makes the Map Pack Playists easier to create and if you tend to not really play BTB, or vice-versa, stick with the pack you’ll get the most use of.
After 6 months, give these map packs away for free. Matchmaking will become incredibly more diverse and by then all the new maps will be familiar to players so people won’t strictly vote for the remakes. How do you make it so there isn’t an uproar from those purchasing the maps now that it’s free? Offer a significant amount of bonuses available only to those who purchases them, after 6 months nobody can get them. Exclusive armor, armor skins, armor effects, weapon skins, symbols, nameplates,spartan points, or whatever else gets people to feel like their purchase was worthwhile. Have a different set of bonuses for each Map Pack so there is incentive to purchase both. Not sure how everyone else would feel about something like this, but I would be all over spending the money on the map packs if it meant access to exclusive in-game aesthetics.
Potential Map Packs, some combination of 8 from each list:
Small-Medium: Lockout, Midship, Longest, Solitary, Beaver Creek, Turf, Citadel, Desolation, Warlock, Turf, Sanctuary, The Pit, Guardian, Cold Storage, Narrows, Colossus, Ivory Tower, Hang Em High etc.
Medium-Large: Zanzibar, Coagulation/Valhalla/Hemorrhage, Headlong, Waterworks, Terminal, Burial Grounds, High Ground, Standoff, Timberland, Spire, Boardwalk, etc.
I’m definitely missing some larger maps, I usually don’t play in playlists larger than 8 players.
just because maps were good in the previous halo games doesn’t mean it’ll be good for halo 4, some of the maps from previous halo games might fit in halo 4 but to say you want a map remade just because of how great it used to be is kind of stupid if you ask me.
you also have the fact that a lot of the remakes could be made in forge mode, even though the maps might not look like they once did they’ll play somewhat like them.
None. They need to stay safe in their own games and avoid being butchered by terrible mechanics.
The only maps that will work will be BTB maps. Sprint breaks all the old small maps.
Not Halo 3 maps are pitiful, its no use to put these Halo 3 because it was just the Halo 2 HD it only served to emulate games before with this one. I hope that Halo 4 will not reproduce it a mix of Halo 3 and Halo Reach in HD otherwise it will be a huge mistake.
Perhaps it should be that Halo 4 includes new maps, otherwise what is it to buy as much play the old games that will do the same. But it’s still a good idea to put it in wrong but knowing the Halo if they decide to do that the games will not make his identity such as Halo 3.
As a remastered version then do his will do the same.
But otherwise I like Blood Gulch, Gemini, Terminal.
I must be one of the few on these forums that hated Valhalla. But if any maps come back I’d like it to be out of these:
Guardian
The Pit
Sand Trap
Turff
Beaver Creek
That being said though, there should be no remakes on disk and maybe only a couple in DLC. I’d like to see mostly new maps.
