Think about it, its an outdoor map which we know the remake is, its a great forging space, LOTS of people love it and it just has a fantastic feel to it.
The high sand dunes with the setting sun in the background casting orange and yellow across the dark sky, dusk almost night. The dark shadowed area around the central part of the map. It gave the map a great personality in my opinion and would work great in Halo 4.
Also its desert themed and we know that Halo 4 will have desert environments at least in campaign so this would fit nicely.
That would be one of the last “big” maps I would want remade for this game. Halo 3 is still too fresh, and there’s so many better maps than that one imo.
Sidewinder/Avalanche
Containment
Terminal
Waterworks
Relic
Coagulation(not Hemorage)
Headlong (too great of a map to be wasted on Reach)
I’d even take Standoff or Valhalla if we’re picking from Halo 3 specifically.

I never was a big fan of Standoff, too much warthog domination. However Vallhalla or Avalanche would be perfect.(In case you can’t tell I’m a fan of Halo 3) and I hardly see how its “too fresh” Halo 3 was 4 Halo games ago, 2 if you only count the major ones and half a decade ago. That is half of the entirety of Halo’s existence.

When there’s still maps from Halo 1 and 2 people are clammoring for that have yet to be remade, yes, Halo 3 does still seem fresh. Plus, you say half a decade ago, but in reality, most people didn’t stop playing it until Sep. 2010, so that’s only 2 years ago. Which still seems fresh. To me, Halo 3 feels far more fresh in my mind than Halo: Reach, and I just played Reach 2 days ago lol. Maybe it’s because I choose to forget most of Reach’s maps.
It’s completely cool if you are that big of a fan of H3’s maps, it had a few good ones that I wouldn’t mind seeing in Halo 5 or 6, but I think a lot of people’s favorites are still Halo 1 and 2, so those should be in the front of the line. Waterworks, Sidewinder(Avalanche was amazing, and I still want moar!), Terminal, Relic, Headlong(didn’t get it’s fair shake in Reach)…still want these maps before Halo 3 ones. These are just classic maps that never seem to get stale. Would love to see them updated. Whereas I got my fill of Valhalla and Standoff(Halo 5 or 6 I would welcome this map), and don’t care to see Sandtrap return at all. This is just my opinion though, you are welcome to have yours.

343i has said numerous times that they aren’t going to remake maps that are playable on the Xbox 360, which includes every Halo 3 and Reach map. I’m not going to bother finding a source, you’ll have to take my word for it. If not, I guess we’ll see when the map is revealed!
