V2 IS OUT!. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS ONE>!!!!!!!!!!!! FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW! I WILL BE REMOVING THE DL LINK FOR V1 SOON, THANKS!!!!!! Grifwater V2 This is Grifwater, As i started my 1st Forge map, i decided that it was going to be a Grifball map, But i wanted mine to be better than the ones inside the coliseum. So i so i thought "i know ill put it in some F**king water". thus the 1st halo reach Grifball court in water was born. The court is In the Water slightly off the Island in Forge World. The water is shallow enough that your vision never gets blocked, so nothing to worry about on that. The roof is high enough so you can not get out, and if you do find a way out. the killzone will find a way to put you back in. I hope all enjoy this map. Grifwater Overview Inside. Court is the same size as AGLA Sandbox. (also 1V1 Grifball still fun) As you can see, The water is not too high. (also note through the window in the middle you can see a Falcon) =) no way to access that outside of forge, just for looks. The Goal, you Do NOT, need to jump to score, you can just walk under the goal, or slam dunk it for extra awesome points. Any way, thats my 1st map in Reach hope all enjoy. please send feedback!
Im working on a grifball gametype to go with it, im not sure if AGLA is going to make any changes for reach or not.. but ill try to mimick halo 3 Grifball (UPDATE!, i made one.. fileshare wont let me upload it though) failz
Looks very fun and I also hope that Grifball doesnt change much let alone at all. Please do work on a gametyp efor now and for your 1st map not bad, even with Reachs forge system it looks like it took a lot of time. Enjoyment - 4/5 Balance - 4/5 Aethetics - 4/5 Durablility - 5/5 Originality - 3/5
I hate to break it to you, but making a grifball court thats flooded is not a unique idea. Tons of people are going to make flooded grifball courts, and others are probably being worked on right now. In fact, all the way back in Halo 3 I had plans to make a flooded grifball court on Long Shore, but never had the chance because I was working on other maps when I thought of the idea. And the map could look much better asthetically I think too. I saw a design by someone on here for a flooded grifball court, and it was far more asthetically pleasing. I mean you're map is fine, its not bad at all, but its just not unique, and doesn't have very good asthetics in my opinion.
A water grifball court has already been made in the water on foundry. Search it up... Good try on being unique
I edited the paragraph above the pictures so ppl that think they need to find something to complain about will shut their mouths. i was the 1st to make one and post it in halo reach.. so therefore!, it is unique and original. reasons being there are no other reach levels to compare it to.
The AGLA is currently working on the new gametype for our upcoming Halo Reach Grifball league. As soon as they work out the mechanics and get a solid map built to scale the season should start around that time. The gametype that the grifball community has developed so far can be found in my fileshare as H3 Grifball. It's still not perfect but we think it's definitely playable.
Please accept criticism, it may not sound like it, but I'm sure they are trying to help .. on their own, harsh, way. Being the first doesn't mean that your map has to be original at all. Try to think of a way to use the water more effectively to add originality, because so far it's just a grifball court with some water, maybe you could use the waterfall or vary with the hights of the ground to make the water deeper on some places. Also, I edited the OP, there is no reason to insult anybody, even if it's 'only' a harmless insult. I won't infract you this time, just be nicer and take what others say into consideration, sometimes they are right ..
Not that ive noticed.. i dont think the hammer is effected either. Also, i am working on making it more asthetically pleaseing, V2 will be up soon.
Damn it! You beat me to a wet grifball map! Well all I can say is, all it is really is a grifball map with water. Not very original, this is really not the first grifball map. Bungie made one in that crypt like one, I honestly like that one better because its bigger. Like are fellow friend LD said, if you cant handle constructive criticism, you have no reason to post a map. Im going to build one under the water, except by adding more aesthetic features.
Muahaha, sorry broski.. make one, i suck at forging. i just wanted to make my own and be the 1st to post. =P im working on a V2 making it look a lot better, i think the lowest you can go in the water without dying is 1.0 . i got my map set at 1.6. good luck dude!
Gravity hammers have been reduced since halo 3, you cant get sent up that high anymore.. plus there is a killzone that makes it so you die before you leave.. read up on your Reach Manual.
I know you die, b/c I can read, but why should you die for what should be hitting the roof on a good Grifball map
like i said.. the hammers arent as powerful as the halo 3 Gravity hammers.! you can NOT get launched that high..
