Mystery Map (Use your Brain)

I have a point to make quickly

Since you only read the first part I am forced to edit this.

Example of not using your head

Carta = map
and we all know pyramids are in Oaxaca
Only uplift and Sandtrap remotely have pyramids
Uplift resembles structures from silent cartographer aka map
And lastly map of Oaxaca This is roughly the shape of Oaxaca plus something was mentioned about water
That being said Sandtrap also bares some resemblance to an overhead map minus the little jut out of the circle. Also I am cruel and manipulative so it is safe to say other people are and sandtrap can easily be turned into a island for the water comment. Essentially invert the bowl or add a slope to the outside of the bowl and surround with water. It narrows it down but if someone could overlay uplift and an actual map of Oaxaca. You can see some of my point.

My Point

My point is think logically on this and outside of the box not just I want this map.

Also people please take note of lines of sight and new combat distances and abilities for motion. Sandtrap is immune to these by being inherently completely accessible and so is uplift for that matter but are all maps? Those two were just used as examples.

For more helpful hints look further in.

Edited because I couldn’t convey my message and or people didn’t read the whole thing.

P.S. I blame the internet for having no way of showing sarcasm

he said it had nothing to do with mexico.

It’s not Sandtrap.

The place is near a train track, so it’s probably Terminal. :wink:

The map has nothing to do with Mexico as stated by Frankie. My guess is that he stated this because people were bringing those Pyramid pics up very often. Basically it’s absolutely not going to be Sandtrap. Uplift would cause an UProar(drama) as it’s a map that is simply not requested. The best bet would be a Halo 2 map. From Halo 2 the best bets would be Containment, Relic, or Terminal. A good guess at a CE map would be resized Death Island(like they did with Timberland) or Danger Canyon.

Out of all the clues I think it would be safe to say it’s either Death Island, Relic or Terminal. I would almost bet money that it’s Terminal or Relic. Relic has an edge IMO as 343 seems to be really into CTF and Relic offers the best 1 flag ever. Yet again Terminal also offers really good CTF and is very versatile when it comes to the Halo gametypes. When it comes down to it I’d say Terminal considering it’s one of the most popular maps left that hasn’t been on the 360. Terminal or Relic and I’ll be happy.

I said use brains I went on a tangent there sorry the whole beginning is to point out how ridiculous everyone is being. All maps need to be tweaked to be used some can be tweaked more subtly than others. Primarily maps where you had full access to all surfaces of the map to begin with and that have lines of sight with blind spots and aren’t completely flat now that precision weapons have been involved.

Terminal is problematic in those aspects. Essentially they are giving us convoluted hints and because they are cruel like me manipulating you to all attempt to narrow down results when there is a different reality. They also can re-skin a map to whatever appearance they please like they did with the CE ones so don’t expect it to be a direct remake looking exactly the same as it did before.

La Carta De Oaxaca, is a restuarant in Seattle. The menu mostly comprises of fish taco kind of things. Which is reminiscent of Longshore.

And who is out their begging for Longshore? Nobody. Frankie said that the remake will cause the least amount of drama. When talking about maps that have a chance of being remade you gotta think of at least the 2 most popular btb maps on each game that haven’t been remade. If it’s going to be a Halo 3 btb map it’s going to be Valhalla or Sandtrap.

Can someone link Frankies post at neogaf?

I would like to think that, since it is the “Map of Oaxaca”, then we can just take a screenshot of the outline of the land. Click here for that. And maybe a Halo map that is similar to that outline will be our map.

That looks vaguely like Terminal.

Anyway, I’m assuming that the trains thundering by on the nearby train tracks can be heard in the restaurant, just as the train in Terminal can be heard everywhere in the level!

I give up if anyone has some idea that isn’t a conspiracy theory which I was hoping to prevent but sarcasm and non-audible communication fail to connect and thus this is turning into another conspiracy theory.

If anyone would like an intelligent discussion on what past maps can be used with the new engine visit https://forums.halo.xbox.com/yaf_postsm1399242_Sight-lines--armor-abilities--new-physics.aspx#post1399242 and if not don’t. Its your choice just please let this thread die it did not serve its purpose.

The city on your map Asuncion mean Ascension in English.

Must be District. Has 8-16 players. La Carta De Oaxaca is a restaurant like what POKEY has said. District was part of the Vista map and some of us Halo 2 players on our XBoxes never got the maps nor on Halo Custom Edition. Plus those maps on Halo 2 Vista were never remade. I like to see some PC maps that were never remade such as District. I wonder if anyone is thinking about the H2 Vista maps. So far I only have seen people responded with the XBox ones. They are forgetting about the PCs.

I’d say it must be District. District

Since it’s Halo 4 District could look like some kind of Forerunner city or structures. We did see one in Timberland looked like a library to me though.

Longshore doesn’t have a huge following, it wasn’t widely popular because it was BARELY played. Now, if one popular map is chosen over another, that’s going to cause drama. But if a map that nobody is really aquainted with was remade, there’s not much drama. Aside from the hate that someone’s favourite map wasn’t remade (Which is going to happen any way you slice it), no one really has any huge PROBLEMS with Longshore. SO that means less drama.

I don’t want Longshore, I want Sandtrap, more specifically, a forge world sandtrap.

But the clues all point to Longshore (IMO).
