I can’t believe this thread even exists. Reach easily had the worst maps in the series until the Anniversary pack. If anything, import the Anniversary pack into Halo 4 for the people that bought in Reach or include Zealot or Powerhouse if you have to remake a map from Reach. Sword Base was just laughably poorly designed. It was like the worst parts of Boarding Action and Construct combined, but somehow twice as bad.
I was pretty fond of the map in Reach. Had some good times, had some bad times. Overall I enjoyed it. Everyone is just against it because of yellow lift camping. I can always counter it. I remember a game of SWAT on Reach where the same 2 guys and the occasional 3rd would nestle up in that room (HA! SCRUBS!) and I would always give them a reason not to go there even though they kept going. I always put shots in their heads before they could react with their n00by tactic. I ended up ending the game with a double kill because we only needed 2 more kills to win and I got them both snap just like that.
My friend remade it as a joke, I clearly remember him sarcastically saying “SWORD BASE WUS AN AMAZIN’ MAP!” and proceeded remake it. Not going to lie I had a-lot of fun playing on it in H4, mostly because it was stupid as -YOINK!-

OMG yes! All the time when I had friends over we’d pop in Halo: CE and do a 4-player FFA on Boarding Action! Every time! THEY SHOULD REMAKE BOARDING ACTION!
Swordbase and Boardwalk were the two worst maps ever made in all halo’s. Dont remake them, ever. Make Midship, lockout, guardian, citadel, zealot, countdown, the pit, boarding action instead.

Unfortunately, I believe that the DMR would completely destroy the flow of Boarding Action. The only reason it worked in Halo 1 was due to the fact that the Pistol was not hitscan, so cross-mapping was a lot harder than it is now.
Every single Reach map was terrible and one of the big issues with the game. The OP definately started playing Halo when Reach was released and didnt play past Halos

It would work if 343 would give us our Classic Playlist with no DMRs. I have an idea for a few. I made 2 Halo: CE gametypes, 2 Halo 2, and 4 Halo 3. No DMRs in those gametypes. Only AR, Magnum, and BR for Halo 2 and 3. We could use the Halo: CE gametype for Boarding Action since it is a CE map. Man, if only 343 would give us one already. Then remaking Boarding Action would be awesome.

Orrrrrrr… we could complain about disgusting map remakes and hopefully, when 343 actually check the forums and see what a horror they are, they might actually remake… wait for it… better maps omg yes. Lets remake a good map instead of a -Yoink- map that only Reach players like because that definately makes more sense but oh wait. People who hated Reach but loved previous Halos dont matter any more what am i saying, remake Hemorage, the greatest map of all time, that big open map where the only place you could walk was the edges
