A system for letting 360 owners download user-made maps!

[The Pekey]

If a user makes a map, he could submit it to an internet-site that again sends the map to xbox live and places is in a section that are accessable from an xbox 360 by pressing X for downloadable content when on the GoW main menu. the maps are sorted after theme, size, and ratings.

Before hosted on xbox live, the maps are judged by either some sort of moderators or a user-based community like newgrounds.com's flash portal, (members of the site downloads it for the PC, tests, votes/reviews, not as reliable, but damn it goes faster) and will either be deleted for being rubbish, or rated good enough to pass.

It's not that hard :D then 360 users too could just download the program for the PC, make their map, submit it to the site and hope for the best :)

What do you think? requires a little work, but will certanly please a lot of 360 owners

edit:

sorry guys, but this thread proves why this is not possible: (differen't versions of the unreal engine and the time taking process of getting stuff up on xbox live)

Sounds wonderfull...

[deathcheckedin]

it would be a lot of work but kewl

[Bigsam]

i think that would be a great idea. Sure it would be a little work but the overall outcome would leave alot of happy 360 users.

I can't see why they couldn't just do what they did with Far Cry on the Xbox the other year. It seemed to work perfectly, no harm, no danger. And if you didn't like a map that someone created, just delete it.

Easy Peasy.

But nooooo. Now EVERYTHING has to have Microsoft certification etc etc

It's not as simple as you hope it is. Maybe they'll do something, maybe they won't. It's still a long way off before anyone even gets their hands on the editor. If you want the best from Gears you should just buy the PC version.

Agreed StiderHiryu

I like this idea, more maps are better. Though if it is overkill, then yeah, not good.

Well they're talking about doing user-created content for UT3 on the 360. I think it's unlikely we'll see such a thing for the first Gears of War. The sequel however, gives me hope.

And if they can get user-created content out for GoW, I'd be more than happy. Just have to see.

As far as a map editor or something for the 360, I'd rather work with one on a PC, then bring the maps over to the 360.
