    DONT POST WITHOUT READING, IM SICK OF REPLYING TO PEOPLE THAT CANT TAKE 5 MINUTES OUT OF THEIR LIVES TO READ THE POST...that is all

    Hello lil peoplez, this is my new map...well not new, its like 3 months old now but whatever. Many of my friends really dug this game, for some weird ass reason, so I figured some of you might dig it as well. Now im gonna tell you right away, this map looks like ****. If you want a really nice looking map, avert your eyes else where. If you dont mind so long as the gameplay is fine then feel free to stick around. As some of you may know, a little game titled Halo: Reach is comin this September, and I see it as an oppratunity to answer a question I have had for quite some time. When Halo 3: ODST came out last year it sparked a question in my head, "What would it be like to play as a marine?" I wanted it toned down even further, I didnt want to belong to the UNSCs best, I wanted to be an average everyday stupid marine! its THAT question which spawned

    HALO: UNSC

    It was a simple question really, and yet it seemed to intigure others around me as well. Marines have always been seen as weak and useless, but we dont know what it would be like to be in their boots, and HALO: UNSC does just that! Well, it would if it wasnt a BETA...

    HALO: UNSC is intended to be a stand alone game. No it doesnt have a disc or real achievements. It would simply be a downloadable campaign, firefight, and multiplayer experience for Reach. This isnt exactly possible in Halo 3, at least not for the heights im aiming for. Now some of this is subject to change depending on how much customization we are given come fall, but if Bungie has been listening to all our prayers, it will be more then possible. Before that could happen though I needed to test how it would work. I wanted to see what it would be like to play the end of a mission, say your holding off covenant forces so that civilians can escape, well thats the same type of scenario your gonna be put in. Oh and did I mention that this game is F@#%ING DIFFICULT!! Im not kidding, its 3 minutes and yet it feels like forever when your really trying...Anyway I shall shut up for a bit and let this do the talkin for me (no point in putting pics, the map looks like crap, so gameplay is all thats needed)
    YouTube - Halo: UNSC BETA Gameplay (Marine and Covenant)

    As you can see, if you work as a team and dont suck, you can last a bit, granted he was soloing for most of it, but its hard to get a party started now a days so you will have to take my word for it as I could not get a better vid thats up to date. When the VIP team dies, they get to spectate (they are stuck outside of foundry watching) so try not to die. As for the Covies, well...they have infinite lives so its 3 minutes of hell, as it should be. That being said this current version is way to hard but I still got all the data I needed from testing and I know how to handle it this fall. I have no plans of changing this version because I am done with making maps for now since Reach will be out in like 2 months.


    So if everything goes well for Reach the game will be getting a green light, but we can only wait, as for me im gonna go looking for the subbed version of the hentai I have been looking for for awhile now (subbers seem to be on vacation), ta ta!

    CoD aint my cup of jizz, and I believe ur talking about my Firefight map pack, if u r thats why there are similarities. Like I said I aint doing anything else to it, I only added it because people kept saying its alot of fun.

    The basic game idea is ok but it is... overused and kind of unoriginal.

    And as you said, the map is...well... very uneat. No sign of merging anywhere to give it a clean look. That is a must for a map. It makes a map look so much better.

    Not in the least! The whole reason I made this was because playing as an ODST felt to easy! If you play it you will see its much harder then Legendary Firefight.

    And to everyone else, I told you I actually dont consider this a finished map, but I aint throwing out anything else so if you dont like maps that focus purely on gameplay, look elsewhere, I dont have time to reply to each person that says the same thing so read this before other post anything else.

    Needz moar interlockz

    Colors are cool?

    But seriously, This is basically firefight. I really would play ODST if i wanted to defend against dino's.

    But if I wanted to defend a poorly made base against purple spartans with plasma pistols, You got this game in the bag.

    I already recreated Firefight, so im bored with that option but I still want to face off against Covenant. If you bothered to read the post you would know that this is only an example of 1 segment in like 8 or more levels! Reading = knowledge, knowledge = your friend. Once again, I DID NOT INTEND TO POST THIS! **** do any of you under stand that this was something I made in my free time for like an hour so I could test something, my friends liked it alot so I thought I would share it. If it doesnt interest you move on, I said that near the begining.

    I am not making a version 2, christ you people need to learn to read!

    And to the person that will eventually post saying that I cant take criticism, I am reminding you know that this was not intended to be posted! If It was this would be done alot better.

    Good Idea but if you were to get a map that was a bit more elongated and had more of a mix of desperation from Left 4 Dead and the strategy of Firefight the game would be one worth distributing, I'll still download it and give it a whirl.

    If you're so sick of it, perhaps you should shorten your posts so that users won't skip the wall of text. Similarly, you could include pictures and captions which help describe how the map works; in doing so, players eager to look at the map can do so while still getting the key info.

    That in mind, yelling at us is just going to turn us off more.

    As for the map, the 90% of this thread telling you this is Firefight is right; whether it's the holdout on the base, the waves of purple enemies, the fact that you're playing as a more joe-average human, and how your number of lives are limited, all signs point distinctly to a Halo 3 version of ODST's firefight. You may not like it, you can say otherwise, but in the end, the people are right.

    This is Firefight.

    It actually does take under 5 minutes to read it. If you guys were not meant to read it then I wouldnt have posted in the forum, I would have posted it in the map data base. Like I have said, this aint anything like firefight when compared to the firefight remake I have already posted. Yes the gameplay is similar but thats simply because a holdout mission would be the simplist to make and I dont play much Halo 3 now a days so I needed something that was quick so I could test it and get it done with. As for yelling, I really dont care if it turns you guys off because I am not looking for downloads with this, im simply sharing it because alot of people seemed to really like it so I figured it would be a nice thing to do but all you guys seem to forget that I had nothing to prove with this. With my last map I set out to show that it was possible to make a playable firefight. With this I was just testing something for myself so I dont really care if you guys download or not.

    @ Reading: I recognize that it may not take long to read, but the track record for reading large paragraphs on the internet isn't particularly good. Believe me, I know. Therefore, if you want to encourage people to look at what you're communicating, as you've already stated you do, you need to do that communication in a way that is effective. The intent of my suggestions were to point out more effective ways you could display your information rather than resorting to intimidation.

    @ Firefight: it doesn't matter if it's anything like your Firefight remake; that's beside the point What matters is that the underlying game-play is distinctly like Firefight, whether you meant it to be or not. Up until now, you haven't admitted that similarity. In fact, you've actively denied it.

    @ Yelling: I never said nor implied you were looking for downloads or credit. And whether you were looking to share or get acclaim, starting the post with an intimidating messing isn't going to accomplish either aim.

    Finally, if you weren't intending to post this, weren't looking for downloads, and weren't looking for recognition why did you post it? If you posted it because people liked it, or wanted to share, it would be pretty hard to accomplish either if no one downloaded it, and no one acknowledged the post.

    I am done with making games till Reach comes out and this was sitting in my hard drive. Many of my friends have said time and time again that its really fun and request it to be played frequently, so I shared it. If you dont like that then oh well. I dont care if anyone acknowledges it, if the post went to the 5th page within 10 minutes I wouldnt care, im simply sharing something and dont understand why most of the people that have posted have some inability to read. I am by no means trying to intemidate anyone, I just want people to take the time to read so I dont need to type out a lengthy reply to them saying whats already written in the post. I wont make the mistake of posting something fun if it isnt up to everyone elses standards next time.

    I never said I didn't like you "sharing"; that's putting words in my mouth. As for the acknowledgement, I'd argue that if such is truly how you felt, you wouldn't have responded to these posts. After all, why defend something you don't care about? Finally, I've already addressed the bit about the reading. Perhaps you should re-read my post.

    I didnt say that you said that you didnt like my sharing, im saying that if thats how you feel I dont care. I am responding to the posts because I did end up posting the map, so responding is something that goes along with it. If I didnt respond I would be even more of a **** then I already am. I said what I did about reading because thats what this all comes down to so I am simply emphasizing it.

    The video makes it look so unbelievably one-sided, it's not even funny. I got sick of watching you run back and forth. The fact you have radar doesn't even make it remotely fair to the zombies. It just looks like you get enough people to camp the stairs, nobody will ever die.

    Thats completly false, if you watched the entire video you would see the covenant gameplay, and it shows how easily the humans can fall. The point is to work together to last awile, the only reason the VIP lasted so long was because the covenant sucked so bad. I have tested this alot and its by far more in favor of the covenant then the marines. Camping the stairs doesnt do much good because of plasma grenades, so long as the zombies are not horrible the humans will almost always fail. If I could have gotten a better video I would, but I have so little people playing halo now so this was the best I could do.
