Boarding action is one of my favorite sniper maps. I have created similar maps to Boarding Action in the Halo 2 anniversary forge. They can be found on my file share. One of them is titled Asteroid Belt and the other is Cruise Ship Boarding Action. Both maps have a similar feel to them as the original, but are graphically different.
Sword Base is this, aside from the middle being playable.
there are so many “exotic” halo maps that only apeared once … but that also makes them kinda special.

Plus, Boarding Action was remade rather easily in Forge in both Halo 3 and Reach.
It was really only good for one specific game mode. If you’re not playing Slayer with only snipers enabled, it’s kind of a terrible map.

I always found Sword Base to be more of a Prisoner successor rather than a Boarding Action one.
I, for one, am glad that Boarding Action never got remade. I find the multiple levels terrible.
It would be interesting to rebuild boarding at a steep angle so it will be very difficult to stand still and or have object’s continuously spawn and fall between the two sides of the map.

It could be a bit of both maps but it’s true there is a lot in common.
Boarding Action was pretty unique.
I also really liked Gephyrophobia and Chiron-TL34!
all those maps are under utilized.

I have remade Chiron-TL34 in the Halo 2 anniversary forge. I wish 343 would add a color palette to the Halo 2 anniversary forge so I can change the block colors so my forge maps would have more life to them! When you have every block looking the same, there is no contrast. You can add color lights, but those create lag and then the map is unplayable!

I’ll be honest, I always saw it as a cross between the two, but for the sake of this thread and my point, that’s not what I said.

I was mostly saying “it’s true” for myself when thinking about the remake in Reach (if it’s accurate) .
