NOTE: The forging here is not as pretty as I would like. I had to cut quite a few corners to fit it all in. The map takes up the entirety of the space between the two asteroids, so I had to use quite a few ugly parts. District was a map exclusive to Halo 2 Vista. I'm sure you've all seen screenshots of it floating around. Bungie had given us urban maps in the past, but they had never functioned as one might have hoped. For example, Turf was tiny, and Headlong lacked distinct streets and alleyways. District changed that; it featured a Turf-like design, but was large enough to accommodate a full-on Big Team Battle. Even though it intrigued me, I never had the chance to play district while the H2Vista servers were alive. In Halo Reach, I attempted to recreate district using youtube footage as a reference. I achieved something bearing resemblance to district, but the forgeworld framerate rendered it unplayable. This time, I had the chance to do better. I got a secondhand copy of H2Vista, and forged the map with Halo 2 on my PC, the screen positioned only a foot away from my TV. Every distance has been measured to the best of my ability, so all the dimensions should be equal to the original. Since Halo 2 seemed to have floatier jumps, a couple heights were changed to preserve crucial jump-paths. I've created two versions of the map. One features a weapon/vehicle set modified for Halo 4, and the other has the original set. Since I've hit the item limit, the map is only set up for slayer and CTF. If people want other gametypes, I can make alternate versions featuring those objectives. Finally, I'd like to thank a couple people for helping me out LucidVivacity/CrypticDimension, for his testing lobby and review video Rian Ultima, for taking screenshots for me while I lacked an Xbox Harddrive H2vKillsAlone, for relieving my derps while I set up Halo 2 Vista and Mickraider/Vincent Torre, for teaching me how to do remakes correctly, even though I didn't care enough to do it right back then Videos: CrypticDimension's map review: Halo 4 Map Review - District 4 (competitve) - YouTube A walkthrough of the original: Halo 2 District MP Map (PC) - YouTube Screenshots: Download Classic Version (District) Download Halo 4 Version (District 4)

343 Industries has announced in this weeks bulletin that they will be shutting down the servers for Halo 2 vista, they said the reason for this is because the population has only been 20 at it's peak. "To switch gears ever so slightly, we’re sad to report that the service end-date for Halo 2 PC Multiplayer will be February 15, 2013. We’ve been monitoring the population for months, and it’s been peaking consistently at approximately 20 players or less. Those that own this game can continue to enjoy Multiplayer over LAN after that date; however our network services will be turned off at that time. We love you, Halo 2 PC, and you will live forever in our hearts" So for those few who still play it try and get in as much games as you can before the lights are switched off and the doors are locked for good. Goodbye Halo 2 vista we love you.

Dear 343industries, in case you were planning to port Halo 3 to PC, let me give you advice to make it better. In my opinion, Halo 3 pc should: -include all DLCs and multiplayer maps -include Halo 3 ODST expansion disk -include a map editor (like Forge but with more features) -be graphically improved (HD textures, Antialiasing,...) -include online and LAN co-op
