ODST has got to be my favorite! It allowed a somewhat twist to Halo's Spartan Norm, and replaced it with the Badass ODSTs. The ability to traverse the multiplayer level of Mombosa Streets was a real plus. You weren't on a set path, and the terminals were well hidden. Took me a week to find them all (didn't notice the lights guiding me to them). But there were a few downsides in my opinion: Mythic Map Pack Bravo wouldn't allow you to download it onto the Xbox for use in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. The
Armory was a bunch of presets, rather than letting me choose which character wore my own custom armor. And you couldn't carry four grenades of each, but rather 3 (I get ODSTs are smaller than Spartans, but they at least had pockets).

Spoiler:

(P.S.: I'm also kinda pissed at the fact that in Halo Reach, we couldn't use the ODST CQC Shoulder [Mickey], ODST Sniper Shoulder [Romeo], or ODST Bruiser Helmet [Dutch] as items in the armory. Would've been cool to be able to unlock those, or make them exclusive unlocks for players with Halo 3 ODST save files.)

(P.P.S.: It would also be cool if someone made mods for these ideas for Halo 3, ODST, and/or Reach. Just sayin'.)

To Heatguts:
In Halo 3 ODST, there is a level named "Mombasa Streets". This was a bit of an open world level used to find clues to what happened to your squadron. Rather than go on a specified and preselected path, you could make your own path, encounter a terminal or two, and bump into an armory unlocked by completing a mission. Essentially, it was a large HUB. You could enter some buildings, and traverse the "orange" areas (roads and courtyards) to get around.

Well, yeah, I played the campaign. But I never played ctf on that map. When you say multiplayer I'm curious if there's some mod that makes it an actual multiplayer map or if you just meant coop.

That actually is an idea of mine, somewhat.

Seems interesting. How does flood/infections tie into that though?

The flood / Zombies try to infest the whole map, while the surviving human forces attempt to fight it off area by area. Flood infects the city, or humanity clenses the region. If the flood win, a cutscene would play showing them dragging bodies to make a large biomass: The Proto-Gravemind. If humanity wins, you see Hellbringers waltzing around and burning all the surfaces in the area, eradicating the remaining flood biomass.

Neat! But it kinda sucks that the whole city wasn't able to be traversed. Players even made predictions about potential DLCs to open up the closed off zones. Sadly, this wasn't the case.

But still, hoping to make this map completed, HOPEFULLY enhanced, and capable for gameplay. Still trying to come up with a name for the Battlefront-esque gametype.
Any offers?

realistically speaking, the city is made in modular cells, you could just copy paste the cells into their respective opposite sections. It wouldn't be too hard and if you wanted some real variety you could very easily just model it out anyways

Just thought of something to do with the Mombasa Streets map for multiplayer use. In order to add replayability, I think there should be multiple separate designs to fit certain shapes of the sectors. This way, experienced players will have a bit of a tough time remembering choke points and alternate routes. This way, newbies and veterans on the map will be on a level playing field.
(Pun intended).
Although, using your VISR map will allow you to see the map of zones you have entered in during gameplay; allowing you to plan ahead. But it will still be a Risk Vs Reward system.

Or you could take the concept and assets, then design a system that generates random city outward from a center plaza point.

Maze runner was about unarmed kids gathering information while running around. Halo is about shooting people in the face... while bunnyhopping around.

You could also make two identical spawn bases and have the system generate those at some coordinates in equal distance from the center plaza. Or make the center plaza some street corner so that nobody realizes it's the center.

You can't please everyone. It's the internet. Much like R93's game choice, it'll complain about anything for the sake of it.

Good thinking. Another potential Urban style map would be a combination of the maps of District, Headlong, Terminal, and Turf; with the inclusion of a few new areas or expansions to add to the size and design of the map.
BTW, should we move this discussion of awesome maps for use in Project Drop to my ODST Fan Game thread?

Pheonix, if you're gonna talk about your fan game, talk about it in your thread and stop hijacking other threads with it. I will seriously delete all of your posts if you continue doing that.

Look on the bright side. You'd get to reach post 117 again.

Back on topic, who here that has an xbone played halo reach on it and for how long? I thought I'd be playing it a lot but I've mostly shifted to H5. Only played it a few nights after it came out.
