I’m a huge classic fan, I still play MCC almost everyday, I love the unique map layout & dynamique map elements the first 3 Halos brought to the table - but I don’t want any remastered / remakes in this game.
It is simply a waste of resources. Forge will be out in a few months (well at least I hope so…), assuming that Infinite’s Forge will be a step up from Halo 5’s Forge, it will be possible to build & recapture the feeling of the classic maps even better.
I’d argue that remaking old maps is far easier than making a map from scratch and testing it. They can easily port an older map and update the visuals. Creating one from scratch outside of forge would take months and months of testing.
I’m all for forge allowing insane map creations if it’s extremely overhauled where framerate and other issue aren’t present.
I love forge and I can’t wait to build and test out maps so I’m in major agreement with you there but I’d still live to see older maps come back. Heck bring back some halo 4 maps
A lot of games bring back a few fan favorite maps as additional content. The differences in movement mechanics, equipment, and weapon sandboxes make it play a little differently than it did in a previous game(s).
Battlefield brings back stuff like Metro and Caspian Border, Call of Duty uses Nuketown and Shipment, I wouldn’t object to Halo having the occasional remake. Plus remakes are a little easier than making a map from scratch since you already have the overall layout and weapon placement roughly established. Of course, I agree that I want new maps as well, but an occasional remake alongside new maps isn’t a bad thing.
mostly it’s because 343 or who ever they are out sourcing the design to suck at it and most of the MP maps since 4 are terrible. Infinte is the worst offender, EVERY single 4v4 map is a generic 3 lane approach with bland details and poor geometry.
Here are the maps I would like to see:
Bloodgulch ( Halo Map )
Diamondback ( Halo Online Map )
SideWinder ( Halo Map )
Danger Canyon ( Halo Map )
Too be honest the only thing Halo Combat Evolved and others needed was a face lift. The game was PERFECT!!! 
Yes… we know. Thank you.
definitely would like to see new classics being made, but half the allure of halo is the deep history. it cant hurt to bring back some absolute classics, plus should be alot less work than making new ones from scratch - just take the same layouts and lay nee aesthetics on top. they should be doing both new and a few remakes, this is microsoft’s golden child game, if they make quality content, theyll make alot of money i guarantee it
