[WIP] HugeGulch; Would you play it?

Needless to say, I'm copying some of the main concepts from hugeass
I'm currently working on a relatively simple map that consists of the following:
--Bloodgulch, sized 10-20(or more) times original size
--*A longsword hangar in the cliff walls at each end(x10, not d40)
--*The same vehicles as hugeass, plus a few more(hovertank, maybe WASP)
--may use tiamat's biped
--An assortment of easter-eggs
*Another idea i had, use the longsword hangar at one end, and the T&R hangar at the other, stuff the x10 hangar full of human vehicles and weapons, and the T&R hangar full of covy vehicles(would include spectre, wraith, dropship in addition to the regular ones) and weapons(would add covy sniper, grav rifle, and maybe others).
So, when complete, would you download it, or consider it a cheap rip-off of hugeass?

cheap rip off of hugeass. even the name is a ripoff. what were you going to do anyways? just scale BG 10x bigger?

No one plays hugeass anymore.
And coldsnap has a different feel than hugeass (yes, I'm on the beta list XP ) so don't say that coldsnap won't be a good map based on that.

Even if you did make it, it isnt possible, thats 9 vehicles, plus none are yours. But no I wouldn't play it, It isn't about gameplay anymore, people wanna see new vehicles, and those arent new, so no one will play it.

Yes it is possible, with the right scripting, or just simple chain spawning, the vehicle limit can be worked around(without creating client side vehicles).
As for hugeass not being played much, there are people playing it almost everytime I get on.

No. No, no, no.
This is a direct re-creation of Hugeass, only using the most overplayed Halo map every created to date. Try using Tiamat's tags for something NEW and ORIGINAL, instead of recreating a good map into yet ANOTHER Blood Gulch mod.
IMHO, this would be an insult to Tiamat. Get with the times, nobody likes mods of Blood Gulch anymore.

False. I've seen a few servers running hugeass every now and then. It may not be played as much as its initial release, but it's still played.

A little mindless fun every now and then never hurt.

English 101. Re-take it. PLEASE.
Yea, I know about big-toys servers. That's not the point. What I'm saying is, hugeass was already done. Why do we need another version of hugeass? It introduces nothing new to Halo CE gameplay, as it has been done before.
I was comparing this to a mod of Blood Gulch, because that's the first thing anyone mods for Halo PC (Hell, my first mod ever was making players able to walk on walls on Blood Gulch), meaning it's been done. Why do it again?
