Hello to all the community. I had this topic saved in my memory for a while but had been waiting until it closer to post it so now that Halo: MCC is closer to releasing I thought I would mention this now. Since Halo: MCC had yet to announce a way to import the past custom maps from previous Halos I am forced to assume it isn’t happening. If it isn’t happening that means the community and forgers will be needed to remake all the maps that the players have come to remember. Who will do this ISN’T important… yet.
For now we need a list of the maps we do want recreated again. I remember some but likely not the amount that existed. So I ask you, the community, to simply list off the maps and gametypes that you all remember.
My next reply will be the list and I will update it as often as I can. I know the list might seem pointless without anyone to turn it into actual maps (though I will certainly recreate the ones I remember) but hopefully as we get closer to launch people will decide to dedicate some time to recreating one map off this list.
Thanks to all those who contribute and especially to those who decide to recreate one of the maps.
P.S. This list should hopefully include forged maps from ALL Halo games, even Reach (some of those can be retrofitted into Halo 3 or possibly recreated in Halo 4 or 2 Anniversary)
What a mighty effort, I am sure the forge community at Forge hub would not mind to help out. There are three different forge modes in this collection, will these maps be remade in all three or just the Halo 2 Ann. forge?
Some forge maps I can remember off the top of my head…
The cage (reach)
Simplex (Halo 4)
Can’t remember much from Halo 3 unfortunately.
I would like to see NeverLandranch recreated from halo 3. it was a fun hide and seek map with a invincible zombie that hunted everyone down and killed them, with only one life per round.
Someone should make a big montage of old Halo custom games. It would serve as a video forgers could look at to remake the maps, but also a nostalgic goodbye to old times as we have this fresh start.
Maybe they ought to shift this over to Community Creations; they got a thread set up where they did this using Halo 4, so one for H2A might be a nice addition.
Of course, this site (and forum) is getting a major overhaul soon (to wit), so maybe wait to see how that goes down file-share and forum wise (you may be reserving section here in vain, I mean, depending on how the new forum is implemented.) But it might be something where you can upload your forge maps to halo channel then people then download directly to their Xbox’s from there.
Either way, a nice organized thread of these is always great to have around. Good work.

Ya know, oddly enough I feel like that would work pretty well.
i would like to help you make the maps as i enjoy forge very much
Trench battlefield (HR)
speed (HR)
splatter monkey (H4)
If you are recreating the default multiplayer maps then count me in for that too. here is a list:
would you also be recreating the ODST firefight maps because that would be cool too:
