Just a little idea that Eidos and Free Radical may want to think about.

The Mapmaker is a great addition to the game, and I've got to admit I think I've spent more time copying and creating maps than I have actually playing the game.

Now I know people are posting their own maps and sharing with all, but I'd like to have some bigger, outdoor maps like the ones already included in the Arcade Custom section of the game. I just wish you could make levels like these in the Mapmaker.

So anyway, my idea is this:

We all know you can buy memory packs, but wouldn't it be good if there was a memory pack out there, complete with say 15 to 20 maps already saved on it, that we can go and buy and just plug straight in. The only problem I feel is that large maps would take up ALL the free memory on the Mapmaker and more, so we wouldn't be able to load them into the Mapmaker.

Also, I wonder if these 'memory cards' could possibly contain more tilesets and weapons etc. which would, in my opinon completely open up the Mapmaker to a new level of map design.

I know this is probably never gonna happen, but hey, I can dream!!! (And I'm sure it would make money!).

Maybe MMM could use his contacts to see if it's possible.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

another option might be by using the cd disk shipped with xbox magazine like they did for DOA3 booster pack. and you could include bug fixes upgrades and other such goodies... i know at least with the bug fixes it would be a great godsend for the xbox..
somedays using the mapmaker i have to hold the analog a little to the left to keep the cursor from moving... (yes i've tried resetting the controller from a untouched point.)

Maybe a Mapmaker Community, with an add on pack (a la GT2), with loads more tiles and renders.

So those serious about mapmaking, can really let rippppppp.

Options such as:

More tiles
More renders
Influencing AI
More itmes
More logics!!!!
Definately more on-depth logics.

The 5 guns in the game limit sucks.

There are sample maps on the game already.
