A Jungle Map

Hey, Some of you might know that I've really trying to push the fact that Halo 3 needs a jungle map, and in the process I decidded to do a little jungle map layout in paint. Just a little thing. If anyone maybe wants to help me design, model, UVW, and then inject into Halo Vista (Which I don't have, but this probably would be a jumpstart to getting it.) Here's the basic layout with a key.
If anyone wants to help just post. Any critique to the map would be nice also.

For the map I was going for an almost symetricall map, The red base is supposed to be like the place on Sierra 117 where the 2 pelicans are hit by banshees. The blue base is a base in the mountains. I think it would come out as a great map, I just need a little help.

I don't have it yet either but I was thinking of getting it next paycheck. I am also very familiar with Guerilla so I may be able to help you there as well.

Cool, we kinda need a good modeler, I can model very basic stuff, but not maps and everything. :P
Edit: For blue base, I was thinking something like this.

Halo 2 is one of the most flawed editing platforms I've seen. Besides, the engine is outdated and slow. Just go to source or CryEngine 2. Both have many more features that you could benefit from.

Well the thing is, you have to know what your doing. Havok Engine is really good if executed right, bungie did alright with it. The editing kit is no obstacle for some of us... Some of us have our own tools.. ;) but yeah, I'll model it for you Hawaiin, contact me.

Aight I'm kinda swamped with school work because I'm going back in 2 days, so when I get a chance I'm gonna sketch out the basic map, the mountains, and both bases. If anyone is a really good sketch artist contact me, I'm a mediocre drawer. :P

You do realize we are making a totally new SBSP..Right? Can't convert to xbox ....that is public anyway..I think the tools havent been released anyway.. and even if they were. all of us who have posted in the thread could do it. But hey its not my project so don't listen to me, it's Hawaiians.

well lets say I know a way around that and leave it at that ok? now I can make this into a xbox map, some of the models will have crapy cillision but I will try my best there is a pic of something that took 5 minutes, i then added water too it. Trust me I can do this if I have the right resources(tags models):

grimdoomer, are you claiming that you can covert H2Vista maps to Xbox Halo 2 maps?

by grimdoomer

Yeah, What I want to do is have this on H2V, and then I'll see how it looks in Halo 2 xbox, and If it's up to my expectations we'll release it for both. If anyone wants to talk about the mod just IM me.

I've been playing with some concept art, It doesn't contain all that You wanted in your map Hawaiian, but We'll expand upon it.
