Best Halo: Reach Forge World Remakes

onPause Writes: "This week we searched all over the Bungie net to find the best remade maps from previous Halo games along with other titles. View images and get links to download them all after the jump! "

RonyDean5310d ago

This might be the best map post so far. I love remakes! Looks like some good ones in there.

Speed-Racer5310d ago

Looking good! Gonna try some of them soon

trancefreak5310d ago

its really good love the maps here. Very few games are as addicting such as this. I love playing firefight.

MerkinMax5310d ago

Get a community poll going where they vote on the best Forge based maps. Then those that are voted in are put in their own special, Forge World Custom Maps based playlist in matchmaking. It would be so epic! Then of course refresh the playlist every month or two leaving in the better maps while adding new ones.

Bungie is actually going through the process of testing community maps that will be added to the rotation.

Go check out bungie.net and read their weekly update. Tons of great info in there, which includes them talking about adding community maps.

JLeVRT5310d ago

im getting this game soon

mittwaffen5310d ago

no need for map packs if bungie just keeps sucking these into rotation!

absolutecarnage5310d ago

Only disagree because Bungie can add things in maps the forge can't not hating on your comment

mittwaffen5310d ago

half the maps included in reach are forge remakes.

So, it could go both ways.

ShadowJetX5310d ago

I was wondering when someone would make a 007 Golden Eye map. Forge world kicks ass.

dgroundwater5310d ago

Yeah I recognized the Cradle right away. That musics stuck in my head now!

absolutecarnage5310d ago

some of the things bungie has added you can't on forge

Sandbox the big elephant transport
Snow levels
The train in halo 2
different terrains
Caves and cliff ledges

The list goes on and on Bungie has unlimited possibilites while the forge has lots as well just not as much as bungie

Bnet3435310d ago

The Gridlock remake from Gears 1 is good. I played headhunter on that with a few peeps, good stuff.

mcroddi5310d ago

So have we gotten some of these maps in the rotation?

RonyDean5310d ago

No not yet. Im hoping they put them in soon. Would love to play them with other people.

mcroddi5310d ago

Come on Bungie - add these bad boys!!

lowcarb5310d ago

My dream map is sidewinder. This looks great.

lolzers5310d ago

The cream off the crop amongst console game level creators. Thank God for Halo.

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion848d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad848d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90848d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183848d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90848d ago (Edited 848d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde848d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90847d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde847d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator848d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13847d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183847d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken933d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar932d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos932d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP933d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken933d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149933d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE933d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341932d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90932d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos932d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90932d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai932d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
