Chasm (Sketchup)

Looks pretty small, but nice. Just hope that you will have enough of those gigantic wall things to make it though =P

 

How exactly do you see the gameplay on this map playing out? It seems to me as if the teams would just be constantly running straight at each other. It doesn't seem like there would be many routes to choose from. I think players would get bored just running in a straight line, dying, repeating. Maybe you could add some walkways on the side or maybe a second level.

Also, I think banshees would be very over-powered on a map like this. There isn't any overhead cover for players on the ground and there is very little space for them to go. You would have to have enough weapons to counteract the extreme power of the banshees.

Which leads me into my next question: What are your plans for weapons on the map? It doesn't seem like there is a ton of room for more than a half dozen weapons or so, and if a good chunk of these have to be for counter-banshee warfare, what weapons are going to be pleft for players on the groung? And I think that power weapons could be VERY dominant on this map, because of its small size.

Anyway, just some things to think about as you design your map, I hope it turns out well when you finally build it in Reach.

 

Ummm, you've already used like 2 times the budget... Each of those huge walls are 200 bucks. Your gunna have to make it smaller... Looks cool though...

EDIT: Only 10 bucks but u still only have 50 walls (I think) so you might run out if you plan to add more...

 

Would you stop beating people over the head with that? Your wrong anyway.



Wall, Coliseum - [$10] -[50]

 

actually wall, coliseum isnt the same as wall, giant. wall, coliseum is the wall designed to fit into to hole for the coliseum area, its designed to fit and close up the hole perfectly.

now on topic, this looks like it'd be an ok conquest map a the very least.

 

Aesthetically it looks nice. However unless you can create a custom gametype that works this map would be one gargantous bottleneck. No chance of flanking, Lines of sight would also be quite limited. (Any structure built on top of the bridge would completely prevent the player from shooting long disance.

The extreme linear design wouldn't be suitable for conquest.

 

Thought that was Coliseum, Window.

Anyway, it's still not 200 bucks so the end result is not overbudget.

As to add more dimensions to this by simply adding a few walkways down adn around the sides, if I remember correctly the level you had to get out and hike to the sides to release the bridge, so maybe some sloped sides on each end that would allow some horizontal movement, not just the linear one while still keeping with the motif.

 

the window and the wall are for that purpose. he is using the giant ones that im pretty sure only 4 can be used of.

if it was chaged up a bit it would work for conquest better.

 

There is no "Wall, Giant". Theres a Wall, Double Wall, Curved Wall, and the Coliseum Wall.

I think we cans safely say that the largest object available is the Coliseum Wall, costing $10

 

I can really only see this working as a Conquest-style map. Way too linear for anything else. I like the Halo: CE vibe you got going, though.

 

How often I have said that, It truly is confusing to me, because I could be using something that ties in with anoter objects limit, and I getting the right price for this object, I have so many ideas, and more pop up every day but I just write it down and go on because until I begin to make a map I really have no idea what is able to be done and what is not.
