Well, the time is finally here. The announcement of the 343i Community Map Pack, dubbed "The Director's Cut" by Absolute Dog! This Map Pack includes 5 maps, three of which have never been seen before by anyone on this forum!

 

The map pack is released! :D http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/11224-its-here-at-last/

 

These maps are intended for usage in 343i.org Community Playdates, so if you reinvent one of the maps and it seems more playable, don't forget to let party leader know during the playdate so that your version of the maps can be played as well. Here is a brief summary of the maps that will be in the map pack.

 

Walkway: If you were part of the first ever forge contest on the forum, you may remember the map Walkway. This map is a multi-tier map that supports every gametype with the exception of Invasion. It can support up to 16 players FFA and in Red and Blue teams.

 

Tenochtitlan: Tenochtitlan was released earlier this year, and supports every gametype except for Invasion. It is a map that focuses on the advantages of height, and includes some rather humorous aesthetics. This map was made mainly for team slayer, but supports free for all as well. Up to 16 players in Red and Blue teams and in FFA.

 

The Playground: This map has replaced Equilibrium. This map was originally made for Team SWAT, but was recently made into a full blown battleground for Team and FFA gametypes. It has 3 levels, and is COMPLETELY symmetrical. Playable with Red and Blue teams, this map is made for all team and ffa gametypes with the exception of invasion.

 

Shreya's Bridge: This recently completed map was done almost completely offline, and has not been seen by any member of the forum. This map is made for BTB, but is still fun to play in FFA. It is a bridge, as the name suggests, that is between two bases. The arrangement of cover as well as the design of the bridge makes it a rather unique map. It supports every gametype except invasion, and up to 16 players in Red and Blue teams as well as FFA.

 

High Tide: This map was donated by Colin Goree (aka Nocturnparadox) and includes a game type as well. This map is considered "completed" so if you decide to make changes to it, then you will have to change the name of the map itself.

 

Remember, if you don't like the maps after they are released, feel free to make some changes. Add a wall here, or a scorpion there. After this map pack is finished, I will start working on maps that are "Heavy" and made for BTB.

 

(Also, an internet high five will be given to whomever can tell me who Shreya's Bridge was named after. ;D)

sounds sick, will they all have to be downloaded off fileshare? or are you hoping bungie.net is back before the end of the month? im DYING to play on these maps :D

Well I'm hoping that the online fileshare will be back by the end of the month, but if it isn't then we will have to do this the good ol' fashioned way. I'll try to get AD to put them up on the forum account so it's easier and I'm not spammed with requests lol

Is this just your map pack, or are others allowed to request some of their BEST maps to be placed here?

Well it wouldn't be fair to use other people's maps in a Map Pack that's dubbed "The Director's Cut". However, if people PM me links to their maps after the online fileshare is back, then I will probably come out with a couple of other map packs with a different name. :)

lol good point,

Maybe we could have not just yours but maybe a selected fews maps put together to make a small map pack. And more packs would be created as time goes on...?

Well this is depressing. This could be hard to do without file share.

 

Could I suggest that you have somebody put 343i at the end of the name so that we can find them on a file search.

They are going to be released when 343i releases it's new fileshare system.

Azaxx....and all other members, like Vitamin did with the Director's Map Pack, if you have a creation of a series of maps that are released at the same time we will feature the announcement here. I, as well as others mods, would hope we don't have members just doing this to get in announcements. The Director has long talked about his working on this series and I, like Vit and others are happy to see it's release.

 

Good work Director!

How will we download them?

halo.xbox.com is currently working on their online fileshare system, and when it's ready I'm releasing the maps. That's how. :)
