I had been looking for cool maps to make AI mods to, and doing so i remembered alot of maps that really are pretty to look at. I am talking maps that are just very beautiful, worthy of desktop images. Maps that you look at and are like "wow." I am not talking halo maps or recreated h2 maps, i am talking about halo CE only maps. I want to gather a list of some of the most beautiful maps. Either some special scenery, a great sky or really anything in the level. Please list a beautiful map and provide a link to it.

x2 Mudslide: the sky in this is awesome, the SN's on halomaps don't do it justice. Load this map and use fly cam to look at the sky the artist uses in this map.

Mystic: the sky and background are fantastic, the mist is done so when you play it's like you feel it. There is a nice waterfall, i have this map as my desktop background.

Red Feather Ranch: again the sky and background is great, it actually gives you the feel that you are in a large forest. the map makes it feel lke it goes on forever. I love this map.

there are many other gems of Halo CE but i won't list all of the ones that i consider gems. You all need a chance to give your picks. Lets see what you guys consider beautiful maps.

Why is this forgotten...

Sure, go ahead. Why is your avatar a bunny and your quote say ribbit? Bunnies dont make sounds very often (so i hear) let alone that kind of noise...

Caboose117 please resize that image you put, it's streatching the page.

Nugga 177 i agree that Autumn Slay is beautiful and i thought of making an AI mod for it, but it's just too big. I wish i could get AI drivers of warthogs to accept command lists. If i could figure out how to get flying vehicles to follow command lists then i could.

Abyss is neat but there are some things about it that are ugly as dirt so i can't agree with you. Those high walkways sort of ruin it.

anyhow i also like that map with the orange sky, is it like fujia or something like that. Yes it's something like that, but that map is beautiful as well.

Ill just make it a link....

i have no life

and yes autumslay is beautiful

You're not the only one scott. XD

Anyway, lets see what are some nice maps that would be cool with AI in them... Maybe Quagmire and Swamp Gulch... Those would be fun with flood AI.

And also I just noticed that the lightmap kind of ruins it. Do object_destroy_all and you'll see what I mean.


Agreed. I haven't been to that map in awile and all I remmeber is the waterfall, and looking down over the edge of the cliffs.

teh ganon please dont post images that streatch the page, it's anoying to have to keep scrolling over, just make them links please.

also in my first post i said i was not talking about orignal halo pc maps.

really anything by Jahrain is good.

Coldsnap and hugeass both are very ugly maps.
they were not meant to be pretty, they are for vehicle combat and sniper play only so it seems.

fragment v2 by CMT is a very great map, it's a nice work.

you have to look out at the sky though, the SN's there don't show it's beauty.

WHEREDF IS YOYORAST?!

what are you on? you have to have yoyorast island....its just too good...also that sanctuary map released a few months ago is pretty sick....thats my list I guess...i'm sure theres plenty of maps we've all never heard of that are good though......

well i guess you cant do it better.He want to keep textures low becous otherwise we would have to wait two years more..

DOWNFLOW! THAT MAP IS SO FRIGGIN SWEET!
