Tyrant made a post which got me thinking. Who were, objectivley (subjectivley) the best map makers of all time in this game?
What were the best maps ever made?
I'd argue that Neuro Ko Neza and Arteen should be in the conversation.
Other areas of map making are also worth discussing. Dano and Conscars are the best texture/skybox artists we've ever had.
I'd second Arteen as awesome.
EJ Burke is my #1
But each to their own.
I'd definitely go with Arteen (who I mentioned in the other thread). I spent way too many hours of my life on his maps during my teenage years.
Also, are we going to manage a whole page of posts in this section of the forum where nobody acts like an assclown for laughs? Is that possible?
Arteen is overrated.
Show us these Burke maps pope.
Tiamat
Jahrain
whoever made hugeass and coldsnap obviously, because those maps are still played

It's hard to say who's best of all since so few of them have released more than a couple maps.
woah burke made portent and launchbay, what else did he make?
best map coming through fite me if you don't like it
And ^that is the best Halo CE map in my opinion.
Seriously? You're that much of a noob m8? Portent and LaunchBay?Quote:

Nah, I said that to rustle TVTyrant's jimmies. Arteen is one of my most favorite mappers. I put EJ Burke first, and then Arteen. Arteen did make more maps, but EJ Burke made some beautiful artwork for its time.Quote:

Jahrain.
His maps were beautiful and he did so much crazy stuff with the engine.
Remember that Zelda mod??
So old....but shows some maps and their creator.
Not-CMT.

Higuy.
I should make a map. According to DEElekgolo, my map making skills were p great.

In no order:
- NeuroKoNeza
- Arteen
- Burke
- Mothergoat
- Schwinnz
- Molkien
- Yoyorast
Feel like I'm forgetting a few others, but these guys I remember since I played their maps so many times... Good times.
Jahrain's stuff was fun, but sadly he never finished his stuff. :\
As for Tiamat, his stuff was fun for a bit, but QUICKLY got old. Beta tested Hugeass and that was pretty fun, but after awhile it lost its appeal...
mothergoat for immure, one of my favorite maps of all time. arteen had some pretty great maps too like delta ruins. portent by burke was good but i wouldnt consider portent a master feet in level design, although aesthetically it was great. yoyorast's islands (both versions) are pretty fantastic for a lot of reasons including gameplay. massacre and selentic's revelations map is a pretty great newer map combined with conscars amazing artistic ability in skybox creation.
there's alot of great maps out there and people who made them. suprsingly some of the people who have made these great maps have only made one or two (eg yoyorast), or bunch with only a few really standing out as great in particular (like arteen, selentic, or mothergoat)
I changed my mind, Lumoria is my favorite map maker.
Mothergoat, Arteen, Neuro, Burke, Sakievich.
Wonder where rec0 went off to... It was like he just disappeared off the face of the earth one day and never returned. :|
Here's another one, Mrs. Doublefire.
Doublefire works at Bungie doesn't he?
his dad murdered him for playing too much video game #pray4rec0Quote:

SteelixB Did some awesome work also.
There was also one more
Huge maps. 2 of them. I can't remember who. all I remember about them. and this was a while ago
Driveable toilets XD
That's probably Hugeass.
And the other big one is probably Extinction.
YES! THOSE WERE IT!
Speaking of. what's been happening? What use has been made of Open Sauce since Kornman00 released it?
I've been out of the loop since about then.
CMT is using it for their (unreleased) single player levels. Besides that, not a lot.
The game was pretty dead by the time a useful version of OpenSauce came out.
i nominate gearbox for making toolbeta.map
please upload your copy of toolbeta.map to halomaps so we can all experience itQuote:

I guess its pretty much impossible for us to not turn a thread into shitposts at this point
RIP halo/modacity

Vertigo City was such a masterpiece no doubt.

SomeRhino anyone? Lost Cove and Nightcamp? Nightcamp is still probably one of my favorite maps, and I'd argue it's the best map released in the first month or so of CE.
Also DocOctavius? Not a big fan of his later stuff, but Claustrophobia was just about perfect.
It's funny that I decided to log on today... I just found my old high school mix CD and rediscovered that I had Mothergoat's album from when he was in a rock band in like 2005.
I nominate myself and Lightning for our joint efforts on Floodlab. Greatest map ever released.
hi
bye
:saddowns:
ThePlague
Me, I made that one map in 5 mins that I shared only with Rossmum iirc.
