Title says it all, I'd like to improve our map roster, but I want to know what you all would like.

[Jaeger]

Meh this will sound stupid likely but a flood holdout map. Just a shit ton of flood planets everywhere but enough planets for about 4 players to set up defenses and fleets and so on.

Kinda like Firefight, right? (Haven't played Reach)

not even close more like horde mode from GOW gotta plan everything.

[Crisiss]

You start with a single asteroid. The rest of the planets are dead asteroids. FIGHT TO THE DEATH.

Something like this:

The only way to get to your enemy's capital is passing through the centre, where Huge planets with big resources are - OR, through that tiny land connections behind your base - which can possibly be transformed in Slipspace Portals. Or just forget those connections and make a centre-focused map, just like Landgrab but smaller and with only 4-8 players, FFA. At the centre of the map, a Shield World or a Slipspace Portal that brings you to a Shield World / Halo.

Wasnt there a map that was like that at one point?

Was a vanilla map which the devs removed.

So art of war basically with some smaller stars out side the main section?

[Cole Protocol]

I'm liking all of these, will work up some initial sketches and prototypes tomorrow. Keep the ideas rolling guys! 

[haseo yashimora]

how about a map that has a long narrow passage(1 phase lain to get to ether side) way and 12 planets on each side a 1v1 map of sorts

 

 

 

also a 2 to 1 star Reach based map and Earth based map for 2v2 and 1v1s

 

 

last idea, a map designed for the AI at challenging you and how strong your defenses are (if you like the idea ill give details)

Art of War? Was that a vanilla map?

[SPECTRE]

any map with just one star and isn't a rip off of my map.

first one is in the works as apseudo campaign on my end.

[Jaeger]

yeah exactly like what you described minus the outside stars. Is a meduim 2v2/FFA map called Art of War or something close.

[Crisiss]

any map with just one star

woah woah woah, let's be realistic here. Surely that is not within the realm of possibility.

[Jaquecz]

A map that recreates the halo galaxy.

I want to slowly lose all of my planets to the covenant as im forced back world after world, until I'm at my last planet, then activate the cheat codes and win.

[insaene]

This:

                                   ->colonisable planet -> colonisable planet

Insaene starter planet ->colonisable planet -> colonisable planet -> flood world -> flood world -> Crisiss starter planet (small asteroid preferred)

                                   ->colonisable planet -> colonisable planet

Not how it works jaeger

I actually have a working prototype of that map. If I remember the name I'll post a picture of it if you want to see
