Author: Geranamo Map Name: Sandy Estate V2 Map Canvas: Sandbox Map Size: Medium Supported Gametypes: Slayer __________________________________________________ Description: Sandy Estate V2 Map: Sandy Estate V2 Sandy Estate: Relaxation...Enjoyment...One Awesome Piano Sandy Estate is one of those maps to just relax on. If you need a break from matchmaking or from "pwning teh n00bz," this map will do the trick. You might recognize this map from a previous post but rest assure it is a Version 2 with some similar pictures of the parts of the map which I did not change. I hope you get a kick out of this map! For those of you who have an XForgery account you might have seen this exact same post. Since ForgeHub is having "The Best of Halo 3 Forge" marathon, I thought to bring the updated version to ForgeHub and possible other forging community websites soon too. Since this is an aesthetic map, there's not much to say for a description but I will provide you with a short list of some of the highlights in the map you can look for: Piano Television Mini-Bar Fireplace Podium Hologram Projector Piano Ballroom Couch (facing TV) Television Inside of Television Lounge (with fireplace) Mini-Bar Stairs Meeting Room Podium Teleporter Door (turns you into Hologram) Hologram Projector (Meeting Table) Overview YouTube- Sandy Estate Walkthrough‎
Wow this map is awsome! Everything looks so clean, unlike most house maps. The piano is awsome and the TV cracked me up. I know which map for best aesthics I'm voting for
The most intuitive part would definitely have to be the hologram idea. The piano is also another favorite of mine but how do you get inside the TV? is there a door or something? Overall very impressive but small.
WOW WOW! This is it whats called Aesthetic Map. It looks great. Everything is very clean. Many fresh Ideas. Super Map to make awesome Youtube-Clips. This must be in my Fileshare next Time i play Halo.
This map does look pretty well planned and well designed. I about **** myself when i seen the piano, wondering how he did it. Then i realized that it was just -BLAM!- < < Gotta love those -BLAM!-s. Fuzzywig would be proud.
I'm guessing you need to set the custom power-up to give you poor camo for the hologram table to work? I downloaded it, it looks really nice. The lighting on the ballroom is perfect, but why do you need to crouch to get in?
Simply genius! Not only was I amazed by the craftsmanship, I was simply amazed by your innovation. All the detailes clicked in perfectly. I have used a similar flatscreen design for a zombie house, but you have perfected it. The bar (my most likely hang out spot) was great, and I got the spiker/bottle idea-very creative. The rest of the estate were also very impressive, but I want get to the best part. The Ball room and the grand piano blew me away the first time I saw it! Every level of the room was angled just right so it met in a cirlce. The room has plenty of space and the roof is open. The whole thing looks like it was designed to reflect acoustics. And now for the main part, the grand piano itself is simple, but near perfect. You even got the black key 2,3 combo right! Think you're missing a couple, but what the hell it's a piano! The picture with the elite punching the keys is great! Overall this has to be one of the most impressive aesthetic works which I've ever seen on this site. 10/10
Wow this map looks amazing! Very creative with the TV, piano, and the hologram. Which reminds me of the AI from halo wars. I will defiantly download this map. This map should be featured.
Thanks for all the comments you guys! Sorry if this message is a little late for this post I have only been able to check up on this thread every so often on a friends computer. If you haven't already seen it, I have posted a youtube video walkthrough of the map to help give a 360 view of it. I have updated the map slightly a little though; there were a few merging techniques that didn't look very good that I've cleaned up now and are in the download.
great map, i love the fact that you can go inside the t.v., this will be a great map for making machinima's on. I love all all the little things that you can do in this great map! great work 5/5
i played the map and it is amazing. the forging is awesome and the idea is also cool. keep up the good work.
The maps awesome. I downloaded it a few days ago and its pretty good. How long did it take you to make?
I roughly forged about an hour or two per day for a week or so. But in reality it took much longer; coming up with all the ideas for an awesome experience pretty much took weeks.
Cooooool Maaaaaap! I like the clean forging. Great Idea with the Pistols in the Piano. This would be a nice Map for modded Clons (staying in the Ballroom so it brings live in this Map), but unfortunately its not allowed...
