I’m talking about like what maps would we want returned, and what type of maps would you want in Halo 5. A lot of fans of Halo always ask for maps from previous Halo games, I would want Blood Gulch to stay in Halo for the rest of the series. Maybe even bring back a forge world with more land than Forge Island gave us. Sword Base map like maybe, The snow map from the first halo (Can’t remember the name.) ETC… But my personal favorite would be a gigantic space map where you can actually spawn the ships. That be awesome in my opinion, but I’m sure it may never happen cause some would maybe say that would defeat the purpose of forging. But I’m talking abut like just staying the hangar and the bridge and maybe some hallways to make it more fun. But that’s all up to 343.
Honestly, I’m not sure there’s ever been a remake worthy of the original. You have to remember that the map design process heavily relies on feedback from playtesting; every detail of the layout is tailored to the gameplay quirks of the title it’s shipping with. As these details vary between games, you can never have a true remake, because the gameplay itself is effectively part of the map.
The only maps that you can be sure will work are ones like Blood Gulch, because a wide-open field is a wide-open field.
In terms of what kind of maps I want to see, I’d like a lot of variety. No two maps should be the same.
As for remakes, I’d really like to see Exile remade but without the obstructive pile of junk that’s between the central column and the Banshee spawn. I think that that one improvement could give one of my favorite maps ever a lot of justice.
My guilty pleasure is halo 2s colossus. I’d say most people didn’t enjoy or perhaps don’t even remember this map, but I think it has a strong layout for competitive play and this map in particular I could see lending itself to the play style of each Halo. In other words I think small modifications to this map would make it good no matter what Halo you are playing it on.
