I wish they would put Boarding Action in Halo3. Replace all the teleporters with man cannons. They could very well put those holographic extendable bridges from Halo1 in there with a banshee and or Hornet to the side. Some turrets on each base would also be interesting. It would be great for the new BTB Ranked gametype. What do you guys think?

What do you mean"boarding action"? You can board vehicles in Halo 3 just as you did in the previous Halos.

Boarding action was a map jesse, and it was an insane one for sniping and pistols. I'd like it back, but in its original state.

Boarding Action is a Halo Combat Evolved map. Sorry if you misunderstood guys. But it is a nice map and I hope Shiska or someone from Bungie hear's about this and suggests bringing it back.

Yeah nice link there. And yeah I love the original way the map was designed but i doubt that if they bring it back it will be the same. Im just suggesting a way they could change it though if they do.

  • 04.29.2008 5:42 PM PDT

Red vs blue fans

boarding action obviously has huge popularity, but it would have to change - the lack of ladders in halo 3 will require it to be re-imagination. I'm all for the forerunner light bridges (they are good for level interaction and look awesome). I do think that I like man cannons more than warps, because the warps would bring back tele camping, and it is not a big enough level to have the scarcity of tele camping. But yes, change warps to mancannons, ladders to airlifts, and add some light bridges and snaz it up with some cool forge objects, and this map would be s-i-c-k!

oh, and jesse - spend 1000 microsoft points and download halo 1. Its a necestiy

Oh yeah replace the telepoters with mancannons defiantly. And ladders for airlifts. i really would like to see this map back though.

I think that the release of Boarding Action would defiantly be a good time to introduce the auto turret equipment on the map. I understand fully why Bungie didn't originally put it on any maps because of the glitching and how it easily gets knocked around when you run in to it. Yet i think this would be a great map for bungie to work out its problems with the auto turret and bring it back. It would be a great method of dropping an auto turret to distract enemys or to place it near a mancannon or on one of the holographic brideges (if those are introduced)or something and then take the kill once the sheilds are down on your openent.

I was also thinking about some of the weapon placements you could have on this map. I would probably say it would be best to keep all the original weapon placements except for the old magnum spawn points. Those could probably be replaced by Carbines i think. But one or two Magnum points should be kept. Ive also taken into consideration of the Spartan Laser and what could be done with it. I think it would be wise to replace the rockets with the laser and or put the laser somewhere on the center of the map such as on a platform or something. And i also thought about other equipment placements. I think deployable cover along with the auto turret would be the two most useful pieces of equipment on this map follwed by the power drain. One more, thing what about a sword on this map? What are some more of your opinions?

Tele camping was not a problem in halo 1, the map is open and you could see clearly across the other side of the map. If you got camped, thats YOUR fault. But still, i think someone should create a thread for the sole purpose of bringing back any/all classics.

Definantly i agree. But i think Bungie said they didnt really want alot of telepoter gameplay in matchmaking.... im not sure. I would assume though that Bungie would just replace all the teleporters with mancannons.

  • 04.30.2008 1:22 PM PDT

This is a great idea...I loved this map back in the day.

I was never a big fan of Boarding Action - it seemed too one-dimensional, in that the only real way to get kills was with long range weapons, e.g. Sniper and H:CE Pistol. In my opinion, this doesn't make for a particularly great game, as the vast majority of options available in H3 would be left unused.

But this might just be me with my dislike of Snipers gametypes generally, and this map was the perfect map for snipers.

Yeah this map is definantly a Sniper's heaven. At least for me and prj Malachi.

  • 04.30.2008 2:09 PM PDT

Boarding action was definately one of my favorite maps, partially because of the sniping, but also because of the sheer craziness that often happened. You never really knew where everybody was and with the muiti-level design, you could be right below an enemy sniper and never know it. I like the mancannons for teleports idea - kind of like real boarding action. This and sidewinder were the two maps from Halo:CE i wanted them to update and bring to halo 3, and they've already brought us avalanche so, who knows?

Sniper Supremacy

I never liked the map in Halo Combat Evolved... but with the modifications available in Halo3, I think it would make a great map. One of the problems were that they were teleporters, which is resolved by manncannons. Perhaps walkways and the new flying vehicals would makd some interesting gameplay as well. There would need to be a little more intersting cover in each hall and you got yourself an awsome map. And yes, DARK and I would love some team snipes. XD

Absolutly true yet lets hope they dont end up like Tombstone or Burial Mounds which are quite disappointing.

Something im interested in is what kind of forge variations could be done with this map. Consider being able to put any object on the map from all the previous Halo3 maps. it would be great.
