OK, for all you Arena players out there, I’m 100% positive you would agree with what I’m about to say…take a read and LMK your thoughts:
Plain and simple, we need a classic Halo DLC Arena map pack! No need for extra REQs, WZ maps, etc. - I’m talking classic Halo/competitive Arena maps that are beloved by the community. I thought they were, at the very least, going to introduce a Halo Reach Arena map with the new Memories of Reach DLC but that didn’t happen…seems like a missed opportunity IMO.
For some, when you mention the word Halo, their minds automatically associate it with words such as Pit, Lockout, Blood Gulch, etc. etc. (I think Battle Rifle would probably make the list as well lol). Don’t get me wrong, some of the maps in Halo 5 are really good (Coliseum, Fathom, & Truth) but none of them truly grip me like the old Halo maps. What I’m looking for is a map I crave to play and I don’t really have that with the current H5 maps to be honest. I’m sure we will be getting at least one new multiplayer map in the coming months with the future updates but what I’m wishing for is a “remastered map pack” for H5. I know the map scale would need to change and developers would need to take into account the new Spartan abilities in H5 but if they can design a great map such as Truth (formally Midship), I’m fully confident they could do it for other maps as well. I would also be willing to pay for this pack should it ever be released (and I’m positive other people in the Halo community would as well). I would easily shell out $15, $20, or $25+ for a new pack of 4-5 remastered Halo maps. That said, my map wish list is below - starting with my favorites. I know there are TONS of amazing Halo maps but these are some of my favorites and ones that I think the community would love (it was near impossible to narrow this list down to just 7 but somehow I did it):
-
The Pit- if I had one map that I could wish for, this would be at the top of the list. It’s a fan favorite that literally everyone loves. I seriously don’t think I have met one person who doesn’t like this map. - Lockout- do I even need to say anything about the greatness of this phenomenal map? Some would argue this put H2 on the map (pun intended)… - Simplex - this was a forge map in Halo 4 that was (surprisingly) one of my favorite Halo maps of all time. It’s a simplistic/open map that I think could easily be remastered as an H5 map for Arena. - Sanctuary- a classic symmetrical map that plays great for slayer and/or objective. - Ascension- another map loved by the community. - High Ground- this was a great slayer map in H3. - Guardian- another iconic H3 map. I do worry that it would be a rather small scale map for H5 though but I’ll leave that responsibility to the map designers.
Do you agree with my thoughts above? Would you be willing to pay for a remastered Halo DLC Arena Map Pack? If so, what maps would you like to see? Let me know in the comments and hopefully we can generate some attention for this much needed map pack!
Dont forgotten snowbound or avalanche those maps are perfect for halo 5
Yes. Although it would split the community. We need more maps. If you couldn’t tell, almost every single map is a community map. Infection has like 6 community made maps, BTB is just filled with community maps.
A Halo map pack, that’s be awesome! Maybe we can get installation 04 or a firefight map from Reach in Warzone firefight ;D
What’s up friend, yeah I agree. We’re really missing the oldies in Arena. There are plenty of stellar remakes that 343 have yet to incorporate, but I’d like Devs to do remasters if not Forge.
Also, can’t believe I’m not the only one who remembers Simplex from H4. That Forge map was just as good as their best map, Haven, even better I’d say. Was hoping Simplex would become an official map in H5, but was expecting too much. Would love to incorparate Spartan Abilities with old maps.
How about Colossus and tombstone

Why would you pay 343 any more money? They already make a killing off reqs. Someone in the forums said they spent over a grand on it a couple of days ago and several people have said they have spent over $400. They don’t need money for the maps since they barely do anything with the maps anyway. I’m sure the community has made all of the maps in forge already and we should look for that.
Also please no Lockout ffs that map has literally been remade every freaking time. Actually rereading it you want to pay for the maps that have already been remade several times. Dude just no. Ask the forgers to do it. We don’t need any paid content in this game to be recycled since the free DLC does it enough as it is.
I believe that is the mcc, also I don’t think having two maps called guardian would be a good idea
Zanzibar was one of my favorite maps

Did you really just say Snowbound?
> 2533274879407634;2:
> Dont forgotten snowbound or avalanche those maps are perfect for halo 5
yuck not snowboud. Never again. I hated that map
Its hardly classic, but I loved haven in halo 4, bring that back lol
Edit: Simplex too, that was a good map
I hope you realize that these maps would play nothing like the originals. If the map was made to compensate for sprint, we would have an extra large version of the original map with tweaks to it to make accessible with Spartan abilities. It wouldn’t be the map you remember, and it would fall in line with the rest of the halo 5 maps. If you really want these old maps, we need a playlist that removes the Spartan abilities, only then can we have these remastered maps.

They would need to be stretched for sprint and you would need to add verticality which would change the map quite a bit but I’d like to see some old maps.
hmm I’m game after seeing the sandtrap and valhalla remakes

Yup. Case closed folks.

What I was saying is that I would gladly shell out $ should one be released. If presented with the option of no map pack vs. paying for it and having those additional maps in the que, I would choose the latter. Obviously, in a perfect world, it would be free but beggars can’t be choosers. And forge maps don’t even compare to remastered versions of said map(s). Lastly, they’ve remade Lockout and Pit for multiple times for a reason - everyone loves those freaking maps! Again, those we’re just my favorites/opinions but I know others love them as well. I don’t want a forge pack, I want a remastered class Halo pack. Forge doesn’t come close to remakes IMO.

I guess you missed my line where I said the following…
“I know the map scale would need to change and developers would need to take into account the new Spartan abilities in H5 but if they can design a great map such as Truth (formally Midship), I’m fully confident they could do it for other maps as well.” I’m not looking for an exact replica but a close remake taking into account the new H5 abilities/movement system. If they did it with Midship, I’m confident they could do it with others. I’m not expecting it to be a 1:1 scale/exact replica but I think it would be possible to get close…
I always thought it’d be a cool weekly playlist to have remastered classic maps to keep things fresh every few weeks
I’d prefer totally new maps, not saying the old maps were bad, but that’s old news, lotta nostalgia.
the only old map i would want is Hang Em’ High from Halo:CE. other than that, need all new maps not remixes!
