Share MCC Forge Remakes

Last Updated | 06.06.15

Some of you may have heard of this little project of ours over the years. We started out on Bungie.net with a thread created by xFonze to help keep track of all of the remakes of Halo 1-3 maps being built in Reach's robust new Forge mode. It got popular and we received hundreds of submissions culminating in the Team Classic playlist featuring maps built right from our own little community here. Eventually we moved our project over here to the Waypoint forums and continued our efforts into Halo 4 and now the Master Chief Collection. However, we've never had a Forge mode as good as this one before. New features like terrain pieces, scripting, and performance meters are opening the doors for some truly amazing work to be created. The Master Chief Collection is meant to be the definitive Halo game, but 343i can only cram so much into it so it's up to us to bring back the remaining maps from Reach and ODST as well as bringing back more community favorites into H2A.

In the following posts you will find a master list of every map from the Halo series divided up by game. Our goal is to help coordinate the amount of people working on each map so please reply when you are working on a remake so that others can put their efforts towards other maps not being worked on. Once a map is finished and we feel like it doesn't need any major improvements then we will add it to the master list so everyone can easily download and play without sorting through every post made in this thread.

How to Download

• Main Menu > Roster > Your Gamertag > Find Player > enter map author's gamertag > File Share

F.A.Q.

• I want to remake a map so what do I need to do? Nothing, but it helps to say what map you're working on so there's no multiples.
• I made a remake now how do I get it on the list? Reply with the map name and your gamertag so we can download and review it.
• My map didn't get added to the list. We haven't updated the list yet or felt the map could be improved. Ask for help if needed.

Tips/Tricks

• Its helpful to have the original map open on another console or walkthrough video playing while working on your map.
• The field-of-view is inconsistent between Halo games so don't worry if it looks "off" when comparing maps side-by-side.
• When scaling your map, use resources like the motion tracker or vehicles to measure out the distance between structures.
• Stay away from using timers to lay out your map as movement speed can be vary depending on game.
• Firefight maps from ODST and Reach are great for infection. I wouldn't adapt them to competitive gametypes without tweaks.

Thanks for posting this again, JD. I most likely will be remaking Relic and Snowbound.

ahh, home sweet home

good luck Xsjados! You know if I have the time Ill knock around with you (just dont fall asleep on me, you remember what happened last time lol)

omarlotrc, great plans, very ambitious! Best of luck bud.

I will probably knock out my bread and butter, Turf, Installation, Desolation, in that order, then if I have time, move on to some old Reach favorites of mine, Chiron, Prisoner, etc

Now lets see if I can summon Centurion to come back...

p.s.
What do you guys think about Turf in Space again? Im not sure the other pallets immediately grabbed at me to switch, I might do it elsewhere just so it doesn't look too similar, idk yet.

HAHAH that was one time! lol

But yea sounds awesome an definitely gonna need some help with Waterworks and Containment, since there such huge maps. You can finally now finish and do a proper Relic remake!

As for Turf I think you might want to try a different environment this time around. I loved the space theme and it worked so well for the map but form what it looks like all the maps have the same human concrete textures and I don't think it will look as good.

Yeah after seeing the look of the Building Blocks Im a bit concerned they will look out of place in space, we'll see.

Id love workin on Waterworks specifically

and I know, Im pumped to make a proper Relic, its happening guys.

Space Terminal, I like it, I hope you can finally get the train working!

After watching some streams here and there, Im pretty confident the item limit will be gracious enough to allow for Terminal (any large map) to be built the right way

I'll admit that I was hesitant to even make this thread again since we'll have nearly all of the maps in the game already. Remakes really did seem redundant at first, but then that Forge mode was shown off for the first time and so many maps became possible to make now that weren't before. Its really the first time we might be able to say that we can bring back every single map in one game which we haven't done yet...at least well.

Towards the beginning, I think mostly everyone is just going to focus on bringing the remaining Halo 2 maps into H2A that didn't get remade along with the occasional popular CE or H3 map as well. My personal goal is to get all of the Reach maps into the game just so we're able to say that every Halo map ever made is in this collection. The problem is that those maps were really designed with sprinting in mind so it may be best to remake them in Halo 4's Forge instead of H2A's, but we'll see how things test. After that, I'd like to see what we could do with the Firefight maps from ODST & Reach. All of them could make good Infection maps, but some might be able to turn into competitive maps.

Well yeah, but Halo 2 Anniversary is pretty much it's own multiplayer, so it would be nice to play remakes on a new, fresh engine with improved game options. :D
