Midship (+Lockout, already available) back in the mix would be epic! Imagine that…Are you imagining?
I’m not sure if we can just wait and see if 343 will remake it for War Games. Doubt it though.
(Also still in desperate need for a specialization code - stuck at 70 for sometime now so if anyone has an extra please PM me! Am a very appreciative and involved player. Your help wouldn’t go to waste!)
But this post is really all about Midship.
Link below to a previous post on how to download (in my opinion) a very good Lockout if you haven’t already
NO, none of the old maps should be remade until they update the damn game to use proper halo style.
prior maps were designed with power positions and power weapon in mind, halo 4 lacks BOTH of those, it would just be a random gaggleflock of people running around getting ordinances, and getting lucky by having that shotgun spawn by their feet, until normal style halo setting are brought back, no remade map would play well.
No, midship never was a really good map. If 343 will ever make any kind of remake, it should be a map that hasn’t already been remade. Midship has already been remade and has another map based off of it.
I remember a few months before Halo CE anniversary came out Bungie made a classic style playlist with map remakes mostly done by the community available on Reach. Oh the good ol’ days…
I would love to see a classic maps list for both Halo 2 and 3, but especially Halo 2. Just about every single one of those maps was pure win.
My favorites in no particular order:
Foundation
Lockout
Midship
Ascension
Zanzibar
Beaver Creek
Warlock
Turf
Sanctuary
Relic
Elongation
I could have easily added more maps to that list, but it’s just easier to say that the original multiplayer maps for the Halo series were very well made. I would pay out the -Yoink!- for a chance to have a classic maps pack DLC.

You are acting like there aren’t custom options to disable all of that.
I am sure there are power positions in halo 4 along with power weapons.
I’ve actually started on an arena map that combines elements of Midship, The Pit, and Haven. It started as a remake of Nucleus from TF2, but I started to rearrange it yesterday when I started shrinking it down and limiting certain sightlines.
