Halo 3 Map Editor on Game Disc 2?

Spreading around the web is an image of the official limited edition Halo 3 box with three DVDs.

From the image, you can see the disks titled 'Game Disc 1', 'Game Disc 2' and 'Bonus Features'. What's this mystery 'Game Disc 2' you ask? Well, some seem to think it could merely be two parts of the game, or maybe, one for single player and another for multiplayer.

However, TalkXbox is going to add a twist to these rumors by pointing towards the possibility of a map editor being included on the second DVD. Now before you start writing this assumption off, it isn't too far fetched since code relating to a map editor has been found in the Halo 3 Beta source

Bring on the content ..hell the more the better...wat would be sick is if one disk was all single player and one was multiplayer!! that would own...and i have no problem switchin disks wont make me enjoy savaging people online....although i doubt that would ever happen too farfetched

toughNAME6919d ago

map editor isnt a big deal to me

there is such a thing as TOO MANY options :P

Kyur4ThePain6919d ago

I think having a map editor could be quite fun.

However, if everyone is creating maps (and I'm assuming these are for online play), how would you ever get to play together?
It might end up being that online matches are only played between small groups of friends.

Anyway, let's see what's up.

you'd probably have to host your custom map.

Arkham6919d ago (Edited 6919d ago )

A map editor would be fantastic, esp. coupled with XBL distribution of fan-maps. The Timesplitters map editor(s) were fantastic, and some really great maps could be achieved even via a console interface.

Though what worries me is that MS might want to control maps and levels too tightly (eg. $$$) and not allow user-created maps. Who knows. I would have guessed that if a map-editor was going to be released--and it's not a last-minute addition--that we would have heard about it before now.

GAME DISC 2 .... GAME, not EXTRAS or MAP EDITOR... GAME.... Are they blind?

The BS Police6919d ago

It would be a pain having to download new maps every single day jsut to play custom games.

Bungie may clear this whole mess up tonight.

omansteveo6919d ago

It work really well in timesplitters 3

tehcellownu6919d ago

they goin to announce that disk 2 is really halo 2..and disk 1 is halo 1.. and combine together will make halo 3..

Caxtus7506919d ago

yes!.....guys! we've cracked it!......??

eques judicii6919d ago

what would be cool is if you could play through halo1 and 2 on disc 2 but revamped with the halo 3 engine!

man, that would be worth the extra 10 bucks for the collectors.

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_198d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto198d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay197d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware730197d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman193d ago (Edited 193d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty198d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey602198d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty198d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb1981198d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts198d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno198d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE197d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai198d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex198d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover198d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator198d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia198d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii859d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies859d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
