I think some maps from halo 2,and 3 should return. There are some problems with this idea because of the new gameplay mechanics, but haveing them back would be nice. They would need to be modified. I love Halo 2, and 3 maps. I hate reach because everything is based on Forge World. I hate it. I want the diverse gameplay back.
You know, I’m actually getting sick of the idea of luring people in with the promise of older maps they’ve already played. Because you can’t enjoy something new without using something old right?
I say ignore all previous maps. If people really want them in they can Forge it.
id like at least two map remakes in the halo4 lineup, the rest should be new.
But it would also be cool to change up the design of the map, without touching the layout.
for instance:
I’d like sandtrap to be remade, but instead of a desert why not make it a, for example, a jungle. turn the sandstone structures into gray (astec- like) stone structures and give the vehicles, including the elephants, a new jungle camo. Maybe add some shallow water in different places along with some trees
Halo 2, yes, pretty much all the maps were Golden in that game. I’d love to see Terminal, Relic, Zanzibar, Headlong again and more of the medium sized maps suited to every gametype, whether it’s 4v4 or 8v8, Slayer, Assault, or CTF. And you can’t forget about Lockout and Midship of course.
Halo 3… Well, no. The maps just weren’t of the same quality in my opinion. I’d be surprised if their wasn’t one, two or more Halo 3 maps in Halo 4 though, on disk or DLC for the H3 fans.
But I’d love to see some CE and H2 maps in Halo 4.
Halo 3… Eh… I dont think so, leave that for Halo 5 or 6.
We may, MAY, see one map remade from Halo 2, as there was only 1 in Halo Reach. And it had been 4 years since a remake in Halo 3.
But i would think that all maps shipping with Halo 4 will be original.

The old maps most likely wont work with the new abilities just like how most of the remakes didn’t work in reach. The remakes would only work in the classic, mlg, hardcore playlists mostly because the classic maps don’t work with sprint.
I don’t think 343 wants to waste their time to put in maps from H3, and H2.
No remakes. Re-imaginings are just fine, because the map is modified to fit into the new game, and not just shoehorned into it. Only a handful remakes, in my experience, have worked out in the new game. Discounting the Anniversary maps.
Being a huge fan of Halo 2 and Halo 3 since 2005, I’d have to say that though I wouldn’t want any remakes from Halo 3, I’d love to see 343i tap into the huge reserves of maps from Halo 2 that haven’t been remade. Halo 2 maps were arguably the best, especially the larger ones. What newer fans may not realize is that remakes are highly necessary for maintaining a sense of continuity within the series.

Interesting O.o Although I doubt All Original maps can be remade using forge, but with the new stuff we’ve been getting who knows! Maybe we’ll be able to make old maps using forge. Who knows 
@seargentkevin@ I don’t think it’d be a waste, but you’re entitled to your opinion

stopped reading there…
Midship and Lockout
I’ve said it before a hundred times and I’ll say it again, The original maps that come with the Halo 4 disk should be entirely new maps. However, I would love something like a H3 DLC down the line. Since this is 343’s first game, all the maps should be original, we want them to make great maps
