Well not quite, but hopefully we can get close.
Halo 5 has a pretty sophisticated level editor. Long story short, we can rebuild all the Dust assets and even maps from scratch if we want to.
I was messing around in the Halo Forge for about an hour this AM and the results are promising. I'll show some screens, they're all works in progress of course and need painting etc. Scales were also eye-balled.
If you're willing to help please let me know.
Once we have the assets and maps complete we can re-create the original Dust experience by editing player traits to reduce jump height to 10%, placing invisible path-blockers all over the map randomly, slowing everybody down, and making sure to all stream 10 Youtube video's at once to create lag.
Add me on XB: Waagenator

As an ex-CPM do you have access to any good socket photos for reference? I've scoured google image searches and have resorted to pausing Youtube videos of Dust to remember what these damn things looked like.

Pour your energy in a proper homage or game, in a real game engine. just find a decent programmer or learn blueprint ( unreal's special flow chart code) rather than trying to force halo to be something its not.
The idea isn't necessarily to re-create the original Dust experience 100%.
Rather, just to take advantage of a great set of tools we already have at our disposal to reasonably emulate original Dust. The Halo Forge is actually pretty robust, with scripting support, object welding etc. and a large dedicated community who are constantly uploading new creative things.
Besides, I already spend a lot of time making custom things in this level editor.
Also, I think you really under-estimate how much work is involved in creating a game from scratch. Trying to make a Dust-inspired game from scratch, as a group of rag-tag volunteers, while the professionals are (allegedly) working on the very same thing.... now that would just be silly.

If you want to help, I've just learned that the Halo 5 forge is in fact FREE for download on windows.

Quick update.
In another half hour showing some more promising results.
Here's the container underneath tabletop, with Domination Terminal scripted to be captured by either team and start accumulating score by the team who captures. (WIP CRU in the background)

Here is the WIP CRU which acts as a spawn point and can be captured by either team. (Spawn volume not visible in game)

Editor also capable of custom player loadouts which is cool. So for example at match start you can choose a customized loadout with specific player traits based on the Dust factions
Caldari: Stronger shields, long range weapon, lower armor, grey armor Amarr: Beam weapon start, gold armor Min: Faster speed, more shields, higher jump height (lol) Gal: Slow speed, less shields etc...

That's a great idea. Why don't you click the link in my signature and join the Dust Steam I created with over 100 members and play some games with us.

Couple new progress shots.
If anyone wants to download the FREE halo 5 forge tool and help build some sockets you are more than welcome
Alternatively, if you can find good photos of medium/small sockets, installations, MCC's, buildings etc would also be appreciated!
Thanks
