You know the drill by now. Did you find or make a good remake of an old Halo map in Halo 5 Forge? Share it here with us so everyone can play it. The OP of this thread will be updated with a master list of all maps shared and we’ll highlight our favorites that we think everyone should download. We’ve been doing this since xFonze started it back on Bungie.net in the Halo: Reach days, and even managed to get a few of our maps into the matchmaking rotation. This thread will also be a place for any and all discussion on Forging remakes in Halo 5 as well as coordinating testing sessions, critiquing each other’s maps, requesting Forge help, etc. Just remember to please list any maps that are currently working on so we don’t have multiple people working on the same remake at once. Nobody wants to see 20 Lockout remakes in the list when a lot of other maps have zero.
We’ll be handling submissions a little bit differently this time around. In previous threads, we would only be accepting true remakes, but with 343’s focus on adapting classic maps to Halo 5’s new gameplay mechanics, we will now be opening our doors a little wider to accept traditional remakes as well as adaptations. We don’t mean spiritual successors like Basin’s take on Valhalla, but more like Truth’s take on Midship which still clearly resembles the original map with adjustments to play better in Halo 5.

> I would also like to remind everyone that posting a remake of a map that you “tweaked”, but was originally made by someone else is not cool when we have no way of knowing if they even gave you permission to edit their map in the first place. Sharing maps made by others is perfectly fine, but do not alter them and put your name on it. You all know who you are.
EDIT: I’m gonna do my Anchor 9 again, since the MCC Forge scene was so short lived.
EDIT 2: I finished Anchor 9 and named it “Accursed 9”. Here’s the ForgeHub link and the Video.
Other maps I plan on doing if nobody else is
Halo Maps: Monolith, Landfall,
(Of course if someone wants to do these I have plenty of other projects haha just let me know :] )
Quake 3 Maps: The Camping Grounds, Aerowalk
Unreal Tournament Maps: Deck, Facing Worlds
Team Fortress 2: I would love to do 2Fort!
Would like to also do some Counter Strike maps for Breakout! (not sure which ones yet)
I also feel like Gears of War maps with some modifications could be fun in Halo so I might try that
Note: I’m assuming this thread is only for Halo remakes, but thought I’d list my plans anyway! Also if I have time I plan on having a YouTube channel to help show off our remakes/gametypes if anyone wants to help with that!
Someone save me I have too many idea/projects D:
EDIT: removed Sandtrap, Sword Base, and The Longest Yard as someone is doing it!
Out of interest though, is it just a glitch with my game, or does it automatically set your armour to FOTUS when you’re in Forge? Because seriously, I hate that. I much prefer the look of my own armour…
Since I’ve gotten a good feel of the H5 mechanics and had time to think about it before release. I am going to attempt a Classic favorite of mine.
BOARDING ACTION
But not an exact copy. I like the theme with the current BTB maps. “Inspired by’s” They play and look great and work well with Halo 5 mechanics. I have a name and general ideas. I just need to master these new controls and get it done.
With the foggy elements now in forge, I have taken this opportunity to bring back an old favorite of mine, BACKWASH.
It’s a slow process, but anyone is welcome to come help me if they so desire. I’ve already gotten both bases created, with lighting, and the fog coloring is as close to the mucky green of backwash as it can be.
It’s interesting trying to bring halo 5 elements to a halo 2 map, so it should be interesting! Like I said, if anyone wants to help, they’re more than welcome to
