Epic Halo Reach Obstacle Course?

REACH for the stars?

 

I don't think he was being nasty? He was simply stating a name.

However, that actually looks really good. Very well forged and some of the stuff is mint. Killballs are done to perfection, and i love the mine hops!

 

Looks frustrating.

The killball part is awesome.

 

I know you're just asking for a name, but I have two suggestions if you would like to hear them. These are based purely on my observations of the video, so they may or may not be relevant.

It looks as though if you die you get put all the way back to the beginning again. If that is the case, may I suggest adding checkpoints for players. I can assure you that players will quickly get overly frustrated/bored if they keep having to start all over again on challenges they've already completed, only to make it near the end again and then die all over again.

An easy way to add a checkpoint is with teleporters. Put a sender node at the beginning of the map, and put a receiver node at where you want your checkpoint to be. Block the receiver node with a fusion coil so that players cannot go through the sender. When players reach the receiver node they can unblock the receiver by destroying the fusion coil. Make sure to set the fusion coil to never respawn so that the sender remains unblocked. Now, if the player dies, they can just go through the unblocked sender node and continue from that checkpoint. Setup multiple senders/receivers for multiple checkpoints. Players will still have to complete all of your obstacles, but at least they won't have to keep repeating obstacles over and over again just because they died. They will thank you for it!

My other suggestion would be to put a real ending to the map. Basically make it so that the game automatically ends when it is completed. Think about a race map. When you complete the race you want the game to end. Well, in an obstacle course map, when you complete all the obstacles you want the game to end.

The easiest way to do this is to make the game a Territories game. Forge a Territory where the end of your obstacle course is. When the player reaches the end of the course, he will enter the territory. Make the score to win 1 point and the game will end as soon as they reach the end of the map! It makes the map feel far more "official" that way.

I love your obstacles though, they are really quite cool and varied, which is why I'm trying to help you make the map just a little more user-friendly.

 

There is better way for checkpoint, just make the map work for race. With out the mongooses of course. And with race you can score at the end.

 

You can't take out the mongoose in Race. You will always be force-spawned onto a vehicle no matter what. Even if you get out of the vehicle, it will just put you back into it again after 10 seconds.

Teleporters are the way to go for this map.

 

It looks awesome man, i would be glad to help test it
MY GT is HIPPIE GAMER

 

How about Avoidance?

I have a question, at the very beginning of the video, you have a Window Double that is launched by a cannon man, or grav lift, How did you make it moveable?

 

Its physics is 'normal'

EDIT: youtuber: Again, set them at Normal

 

How do you make moving killballs?

 

Well done
