They should only remake maps that haven’t been remade before, like Valhalla. I can guarantee that we won’t see any of the Reach or Anniversary maps in Halo 4.
I personally hope we wont see any maps that have been remade before AND that we wont see any maps seen in Halo 3 or Reach. If they’re going to bring any back, I hope they’re older ones that we haven’t seen in a while. The newest maps I would want remade are the Vista maps.
Maybe have remakes as DLC, but we see where Bungie went remake crazy with Reach and not only did these remakes not justify the true version, but it took away original map possibilities.
So if the remakes are DLC here’s my wishlist:
The Pit
Lockout(why not try again)
Midship
Narrows
Construct
If 343i do remake any maps (presumably for Halo 4) then my only suggestions would be Zanzibar, Valhalla and Sandtrap, my personal favourite three maps of all time.
What I would like 343i to do however, is not only remake and polish the maps, but also give each remake a unique weather effect.
For example, Sandtrap, at night. That would be so awesome.
Or how about Zanzibar after some flooding from the beach? Or a Valhalla being hammered by torrential rain?
Remakes are just that, remakes. But I will have nothing against any environmental adjustments for the sake of originality.
I don’t think there is place on 3 discs for that many maps, plus it will b e way to crowded. I would really hate it. I think 15 maps is enough to start off.
-How dare you forget Sandtrap?!
I didn’t forget about Sandtrap. I just don’t like that map. It’d be good for bringing back the Elephant, or a vehicle that resembles it though.
-I personally hope we wont see any maps that have been remade before AND that we wont see any maps seen in Halo 3 or Reach.
The reason why they’ve been remade is because they were and are still good, popular maps. It’s a shame you wouldn’t want to see any H3 maps because I’d rank The Pit as my all time favourite.
-So if the remakes are DLC here’s my wishlist: The Pit Lockout(why not try again) Midship Narrows Construct
-Anyhoo my wishlist is as follows, in no particular order: -The Pit -Guardian -Construct -Narrows
I notice both of you have included Construct which is a H3 map. In my list I’ve included Countdown from Halo Reach which is very close your choice. Some may call it a spiritual successor and I think it’s fitting of that title because I feel it’s a better, more balanced map.
-What I would like 343i to do however, is not only remake and polish the maps, but also give each remake a unique weather effect.
This could be a good idea. When Bungie remade Lockout into Blackout for H3 it had a very different feel to it because of the night sky.
I agree with elik0956, no map remakes. I was quite dissapointed with all the remakes in Reach. They often don’t do justice to the original. Besides I expect game designers to be creative and surprise me.
If you twist my arm, I’d say: Zanzibar. Best Halo map ever!

Fair enough, but I think most of the community wants it back.
