Re: Sidewinder's back, baby!

In Response To: Re: Sidewinder's back, baby! (sketchfactor)


Before Halo 3 launched I harboured a secret (yet obviously ridiculous) hope that most, if not all of the previous Halo maps would be remade.

Frankly, Halo 3 doesn't have enough good maps. But remaking maps from Halo 1 and 2 with only minor graphical improvements wouldn't be really good enough either. I'm fully for the idea of cheap, less polished maps, but they still need to look and play good. A direct port of Gemini, or Chill Out won't play as good as the originals because they were made for different games.

That being said, if Bungie (or other companies, like Certain Affinity or Gearbox) can put the time, effort and resources into recreating older maps for Halo 3 I would be unfathomably pleased. This being the last Halo, we need a greater diversity in matchmaking if the game is going to stand the test of time. They don't have to be glorious reimaginings of levels in all the light blooming and shiny graphical splendour, but they do have to fit in visually with the rest of the Halo 3 stuff, and play like the rest of the Halo 3 stuff.

800 points for five or six old maps seems a pretty good deal to me. Just gets me some Boarding Action / Prisoner.
