Alright, so you'll notice that all of the firefight maps for CE have been made on multiplayer maps. When Firefight Descent comes out, it will be the first firefight map to be made on a custom-built firefight specific BSP. (Who's pumped for Descent? ME!!!!!!!!)

So what are your opinions on firefight between being made on MP maps or maps made specifically for firefight like Descent?

Does it have tobe on a great BSP? Or can the modder make the map designed for multiplayer play like a firefight map, regardless of what map he makes it on? (Can he take any map, and make it work for firefight even if it isn't supposed to be)?

I like the New BSP maps better because they add more of a variety to custom maps (Hence the name "Halo Custom Edition") and there's more of a surprise to it because it's a total custom map that I haven't played before. Unless ofcourse, it's only a modification of some other MP map.

It all depends on how creative you are with the map. I've seen great dangercanyon SP maps that I thoroughly enjoyed, but those are few and far in-between.

Edit: It really depends on whether or not you have the effort or willingness to spend the time on it that's required in order to make a good variant of the MP maps. Case in Point: Blood Gulch mods.

Well I already have about 8 napkin sketches of firefight maps planned out. I just lack the modeling skills yet. I have actually made a model of one in Gmax though. So should I release my first ones on modded maps, or should I wait until I can make gorgeous BSP's and then make my own, grab all the credit :) firefight map?
