Halo has had more than enough map remakes. For example:
Names of original maps that have been remade
-Blood Gulch/Coagulation
-Lockout
-Beaver Creek
-Headlong
-Timberland
-Prisoner
-Hang Em High
-Derelict
-Zanzabar
-Midship
-Wizard
-Chill Out
-Sidewinder(Spiritual successor = Avalanche)
13 of Halo’s best have been reimagined before, so why do it again? And why should 343 and Certain Affinty waste their time and effort on old experiences when the Reclaimer Trilogy is all about new experiences? Give them a chance to create new environments. They might just become iconic and loved like their predecessors.
Don’t ask of these studios to recreate old favorites anymore. It’s time to move on.
They already said that their won’t be any remakes.
I don’t think it’s hard to get 343 to not remake maps.
They have taken a liking to making it “Their Halo” and flushing out old tradition.
Already confirmed no maps shipping are in any previous Halo’s.
Though there might be a Halo 4 version of one.
-Cough cough- Blood Gulch/Coagulation/Hemorrhage- cough cough-

I’m mostly referring to DLC/Future games. I’m saying that we should stop demanding old maps in games that are supposed to be completely new.
During Comic-con it was said that there might be a chance that at least one map will get a remake.

Unfortunately, until I see a legit remake of Lockout you can’t stop me. I want it to be snowy again!
I dont want any forge made maps to be included in the 10 original maps either
That’s going to be a problem because I want Sandtrap to come back.
I think 343 said a while back and I’m hoping it’s true. They aren’t going to recycle any of the Campaign maps into Multiplayer maps. So yay no recycling or remaking! Just in with the new and out with the old! Yeah!
Well as long as they put the good/best community FORGED remakes into MM I wouldn’t care too much- but eventually at some point they should remake the BIG/unforgable maps (Avalanche, Valhalla, Ridgline ect.)
Btw, while it was sorta a blend of the two versions- they did NOT remake Coagulation yet, and I’d love to see that map come back in all it’s glory.

If that’s a Reach reference…the Multiplayer maps were made first and placed in the Campaign. Also, such a choice isn’t always bad. I can recall several environments from past Campaigns that could make decent Mutliplayer maps.

BLOOD GULCH! IT IS BLOOD GULCH! (90% sure)
I think that at the very least they should maybe do a free map pack for the 5 top rated classic Halo maps. Or, just make the very last map pack they make a sort of flashback map pack. But that’s just me and I LOVE the old maps like Zanzibar or even Halo 3’s Highground.

So do I.
There could be ONE remake in one of the DLC’s. I hope it’s Sandtrap, Sandbox or Foundry. Oh my God, imagine the memories in forge and custom games in Halo 3. That’d make people TOO happy!
If they do remake some maps I’m pretty sure that there would be a high potential for some gameplay and map flow issues.
Maps in Halo 4 are already up-sized to make sure that Sprint works well. A remake might screw up the flow of other maps that are not designed with that in mind, which means any “remake” would have to be rebalanced to fit the new game, resulting in a not-quite-remake.

I think large-scale maps will work just fine.

Sandbox and foundry as maps themselves could easily be remade and those were forge maps, we have bigger ones.
I rather have new and fresh maps over the old ones we’ve been playing for years.
However having 1 or 2 old maps coming back via DLC would be alright as long as they don’t come back in the same map pack.
I’d love Sandtrap to come back.

Larger versions of both of them, each with their original space still there. I liked the forge items in both of them, we’ll never be able to get them back or make a proper remake of all those amazing maps on those maps, will we?
