View Full Version : Wacky Idea for MP map
I was just pondering about a new idea I had for a Halo map. check it out guys,
"The House of Mirrors"
Picture this: Chrion but constructed completely out of mirrors! The mirrors would be bullet proof, for obvious reasons, also, it would just be completely intense.
It wouldnt be part of matchmaking so that Bungie wont force ppl to play it. But imaging how crazy it would be. personally, i think it would be really fun. however, i do detect a high possibility of ppl just losing their minds and getting motion sickness. lol, hilarious.
but what do you guys think?

I think it's a cool idea. That would be pretty fun to play on.

Reminds me of an RvS map called "anticamper". It was essentially a maze made of bullet proof glass. Both teams could see eachother al the time right from spawn. Made for some interesting cat and mouse.
maybe it can be a mixture of that. one way mirrors like they have in interrogation rooms. but are randomly placed so some are facing one direction and others can face other directions.

What's RvS? That sounds sweet!

RvS was the common acronym for Raven Shield aka. Rainbow Six 3 for PC. The PC version was light years ahead of the Xbox version to a point that I really couldn't enjoy the Xboc version at all. It included the Unreal Tools map editor so tons of maps were available (I literally mean hundreds). The best part was the entire community was more or less run by clans ("pros") so as you got to know the clans that ran the servers and got their respect as a player you could request certain maps to go into rotation. Plus, the playlist would change constantly as a result as well because each playlist was decided by the admin for that server. The community that was formed was really tight. I haven't played in a while so I don't really know how many people play it anymore, but I bet there's more than a couple. If you're looking for a great MP tactical shooter I'd highly recommend it as you can snag it and all the expansion packs really cheap. It truly is a one shot one kill game and it doesn't have to be to the head. Beyond that there's I think something in the range of 70 or 80 guns available and you can choose your attachments. So you can have a silencer, or a cmag or whatever suits your fancy. It's a but glitchy and there's always the cheating issue, but all in all I'd say it's one of the best shooters I've played for MP.

That's what i was thinking as well.
Also, the framerate might suffer badly, since it would have to constantly be creating reflections of everything.
Still,... it's an interesting idea.

I'm sure that this map could be done.

it would be funny to see a player shoot a mirror, then get pwned.

That would be sweet, i'd just wait till i saw my crosshairs turn red and spray and pray
That's wacky vman.
I think it'd be hard to do, atleast on the original Xbox, due to the ammount of data that would have to be processed, but I dunno.

Yea well most of the maps are based on levels if they were gunna do that theyd have to have a level on halo 3 based on it

It's a cool idea but it is fairly abstract and not what the maps out now are like.
I think if they wanted to release a wacky map they would release more then one...
wow, whoever bumped this thread is a douche.

Hey, I remember seeing this thread before I joined.
I thought it was a pretty cool idea.
Sure, it'd give anyone who played for extended amounts a seizure, but a good idea none the less.

I don't like it. Can you imagine the frustration? Do the mirrors shatter when shot at? If so do they respawn?

If it was a close-quarters game like a tight maze, swords would have to be out, because that would be gay. But shotguns would own.:hump:
I like it. I never thought about making wacky maps.
Other ideas:
-Old western town (Be able to go into buildings and on rooftops)
-Jungle
-a mansion (my favorite)
an abandoned prison/hospital
I dunno I think going back in time for levels would make them more interesting
