R315r4z0r Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I was thinking today... why not rename the remake maps (such as field, islands, walls, ect) Something simple and distinctive but not unoriginal. I suggest renaming them because they are remade versions of old concepts, not the old concept itself. Look at the Halo series, for example. In Halo 1, there was a multiplayer map called "Blood Gultch." That map made a reappearance in Halo 2 as "Coagulation." In Halo 2, there was a map called "Lockout." In Halo 3 the remade version is called "Blackout." The new versions were almost exactly the same as the old versions.. just with some added graphics and visual aesthetics. New names give the maps a new flare, and believe it or not, add to the nostalgia effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An4x1mandr0s Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 ... i will not comment on your suggestion but i think new names should not be used unless the maps had a MAJOR overhaul (like making them 10 times as big or something *hint hint* h34r: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neagu Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Field could become Battlefield (litteraly a battlefield), Under-Underwater (as the name suggest somewhere underwater) or Underground (speaks for itself), City-Metropolis (a futuristic looking city remake), Complex-Compound (a military compound maybe ?), Hourglass-Hub (the central piece linking the two bases ?) Mesa- no idea at the moment Canyon-Gorge or Ravine (nearly same just minor changes?) Walls-Grand Canyon (inspiration from the grand canyon in america) Islands-Atlantis (realy random name, erm a floating city with the exact same layout as the original map ?)

epicelite Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 How about we keep them as they were... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maty Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 We're not making a sequel, we're making a remake. It would just confuse people as to which map was which (it would confuse me for sure). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyBOB Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Personally I hated it when they changed the names of the maps in Halo 2, 3, et all when for all intents and purposes they were almost identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jngdwe Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 It's useless to rename the maps. If someone wants to play a map, they know what its called. Keep it the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R315r4z0r Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 I just think that using the old names make the maps sound less epic than they are. And I'm not suggesting change the map name completely so people get confused. I mean a name that is basically the same just more awesome. In Halo, "Blood Gulch" and "Coagulation" basically mean the same thing, as they both have to do with blood clotting.) If not, just put an "X" in the title to indicate to the players that the map has been "X-ified!" Like Field X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CNC]PlagueNXC Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I wouldn't mind going with something like "Field-X," as you said before it could be ren-x-ified. You could do it this way so that it would still keep the same epic names and not confuse anyone, as well as letting everyone know that the Ren X team created that map!!! Kind of a nice idea I think.
