I think Shade45 made something like this, which means changing the sbsp on the mainmenu.map, but some data of the mainmenu.map is used by other maps(like masterchief bitmaps etc) so when you add data to mainmenu.map the offsets change for all the other tags in this mapfile which means that you need to update all others mapfiles and anyway doing this with entity or H2c+H2g would may work but you'd get a corrupted map etc etc

So i'd say no, we don't have the tools we need, yet.

Can what be done? If you mean changing the map in the background, then i believe it can be done using a bsp conversion and camera edits.

It is possible but not with any of the currently available tools because they will all corrupt the main menu when doing a bsp conversion. If you want to do it you`ll have to convert the bsp by hand and the bsp will have to be smaller than the original because any shifting of the main menu map will result in the rest of the maps needing their raw data pointers updated to make up for the shifted offsets, as neodos stated.
