Halo Infinite needs a good selection of maps at launch. I think we can all agree on that. However, please 343, do not make a remake Midship map for launch.
-
It’s overrated and not at all fun like Ascension, Zanzibar and Relic were/are.
-
The more remake maps are made for launch, the worse. It just makes the game feel unoriginal and too reliant on the past. If you MUST remake a map for launch, remake a fun map like High Ground or Terminal! (Or maybe Spire, please remake Spire)
-
If Midship has to be in Halo Infinite, let the Forgers create it! 343 won’t have as much work to do remaking it and hey can focus on better map design
I’m sorry if I’m offending anyone who likes Midship. I’m just tired of seeing it all the time while more original maps get left behind. I mean, would you rather see Midship in Halo Infinite or see Avalanche (a better designed, more replayable map) in Halo Infinite?
Hey! Don’t knock on Midship! Lol I do get a lot of what you’re saying though. It’s fun level is highly subjective though, and it was used a good amount in Halo 5 competitive gameplay (as well as a ton of other competition gameplays, like the upcoming MCC 8 FFA). Of course those are both remakes of it, but you get the point.
Remakes should probably not be the center of all of the maps. This time around I’d like to see other maps get the treatment. I’d personally kill to have a Spire remake.
Midship, sure not necessary.
They should make a Whole Covenant Ship
Think of it it would be the Forge World of Covenant style maps. Get the Bridge (misdhip) the hall ways, the weapons platform the brig, don’t forget the hangar decks.
I disagree. At this point Midship being in every game is pretty much tradition lol I 100% want to see it return in Infinite, it’s a great, simple competitive map.
I’m always all for less map remakes and reimaginations. As little as I’ve liked 343i’s original designs in general, I still prefer experiencing a new play space to a rehash of an old one, even if it’s a map I’ve liked. I don’t think Halo has a single map throughout the history of Halo that deserves to be remade over and over again.
With that said, in reality we will of course get the couple of token remakes/spiritual successors. In that case, I’d definitely agree that none of them should be Midship, or really any small symmetric arena map for that matter. I think mid-sized and BTB maps translate better to remakes in general, and it would be preferable to have something that hasn’t yet been remade.

I see no problem with having a simple competitive map. While I am a Social player myself, I can respect the needs and wants of the competitive community. However, I just feel like it would be interesting to see 343 create their own Midship. Not a remake of Midship, but an iconic competitive map that will be remembered in the competitive community for years to come.

I would say Coliseum fits that bill, easily my favourite H5 map.

Oh yes. That is definitely the best developer made map in H5. But Plaza is also really good imo.

Have to agree. Don’t care much for Midship. Rather see a successor to something like Zanzibar but be interesting if the dev’s finally make new interesting maps since for me 343i haven’t felt like they made any rememberable fun maps in 4,5. Plus fans probably could just remake it in forge so more time can be spent on making interesting AAA maps.

Plaza is probably my second favourite. After that is Rig and, unpopular opinion, but i actually really like Fathom.
How about no midship remake at all. I’m tired of that map and remakes. I want the Sidewinder, Lockout, Beaver Creek, Guardians, High Grounds, etc of this game!!! (Infinite) I want brand new maps and with them brand new memories.
All these remakes, spiritual successor, remixes or whatever, just ruin my memories of some of my favorite old maps. Maps from past games don’t play the same with the new game mechanics.
I don’t mind “sequels” per say of maps. For example, say they took the map High Ground from Halo 3, raised the water level, destroyed half the base or more, the area is more overgrown with vegetation, mountainsides have collapsed in exposing new areas and routs to go and so forth, called It’s something different and released it, I’m ok with that stuff. It’s like tons of time has passed since High Ground. As long as this new map plays nothing like High Ground but there is that one or two familiar looking things or whatever that for fans or the original will go “oh that’s neat” kind of like a shout out. You know what I mean? And that’s IT! Nothing else!! I feel like I’m not explaining myself well enough but hopefully people get what I’m saying.
The multiplayer maps in 343I Halo games have overall been pretty weak I feel compared to the older halos. It’s definitely something they need to work on.
Why not have a remake for Midship? I know it’s ridiculous with how many remakes there are, but it’s tradition at this point. I always had fun playing the original map, and my second favorite remake was from Halo 5.
I kind of hated every map in Halo 5 so I hope they create more maps from Halo 3 because with all the clambering and stupid speed mechanics nothing flows anymore.
Agreed, bring originality with that old school flavour and move beyond a core focus of ranked being led by esports competitive only. Make light vehicles slayer and objective the new focus on maps like Relic, Zanzibar, Burial Mounds, Waterworks, Coagulation, Valhalla, Tempest…you get the idea. I love The Pit flag/slayer but not MLG/esports all the time. BTB and light vehicles 4v4 was missed with Halo 4/5. There’s an audience there.
I love H2 maps to death but yes: the fewer remakes the better. Those maps are conceptualized around the gameplay of older games, I’d rather have new maps that work best with newer gameplay and weapons and such.
