Please… They are JUST multilayer maps, in Halo.

Intelligence? Haha.

what a limited question they wont give us guardian or pit good luck getting that -Yoink- on there oh and if they do remake that crap i will sell halo

It was pretty fun, but I didn’t like it for one reason: the yellow lift.

The entire fight was located there.

I have a clip of 24 grenades going off in the doorway to the yellow lift room in one minute.

That’s not okay.

re tarded is not the same a limited wtf!!!

Def not.

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.

Hey, hey guys. After long, careful thinking, I have come up with a groundbreaking solution for people who don’t want a Sword Base remake.

If you don’t like it… you with me?.. if you don’t like it… don’t play it.

(To OP): When fileshare is ready, I’m sure there’ll be a bunch of good remakes out there.

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!-

> That’d be fine if 343 remade Sword base. I wouldn’t mind, it was a fun map to play on. For those who argue otherwise, no problem, but I got that map to work.

> If they remade it though, I would hope 343 would go more of a design layout for Boarding Action though. we need more space environments…

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!

Wasn’t that map the whole reason Reach had its plasma nades patched?
Wait for someone to come up the lift … STUCK!
Rinse and repeat … Fun

No thanks.

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.

I don’t even care if this is a troll. Please never repeat the mistakes of the past.

I’ve played every single Halo game online (yes even CE online) and played most maps to death.

Bearing in mind that expansive history I can honestly say Sword Base is my least favourite map of all time. Ever.

Never, just never put it into a Halo game ever again. Anyone who even attempts to forge this should be permanently banned.

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.

i agree wit the OP

also remake asphalt

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

  • Armor Lock was replaced by Hardlight Shield and you can’t regen shield while using it = harder to survive grenade spamming when camping that room
  • Grenadier perk and Explosive perk can help clearing out the yellow lift exit
  • Promethean Vision would help spot campers
  • Hologram isn’t showing up as a grey dot on your radar anymore
  • Boltshot spamming
  • Boltshot spamming
  • Boltshot spamming
  • Boltshot spamming

Why not just removing the wall that separate the yellow lift exit room and the stairs?

That’s very true! With classic settings, the map would play pretty greatly. However, if the map would only appear in a classic playlist, then chances are that it would appear as a Forge map made by a member of the community. Not that it’s a bad thing, mind you, since a Boarding Action remake on Impact would be amazing!
