    LEER0YJENKiNz here,

    This is a remake of Valhalla Heavy From Halo 3.
    There are a few changes to the map such as the middle, it as an under section now and also I added in the Falcons and Rocket Worthogs. There is still 2 mongoose (Mungi) 2 Wraiths and 2 regular Warthogs. All the weapons are the same besides added pistols, 2 concussion Rifles and in place of the power drain a Grenade Launcher.

    Hope you enjoy! Give me feedback please and if you want to play it with me message me,
    Thats LEER0YJENKiNz the "0" in LEER0Y is a zero.

    Here is some pictures.

    not hatin' on your forging abilities, but in terms of this being a Valhalla remake, there is a LOT wrong with this. first off: there are not 3 man cannons in the towers and there never were. second: the caves or "arches" as you would like to call them are way too big to be properly scaled. finally: the hill is not only small, it has an added cave that cam out of no where. seriously, i would consider this more of a "Valhalla Inspired Map", not a remake. though there were a lot of things i found wrong with this, i did in fact find some things that i liked. for example, i love the structure of the towers you have. though they were not properly shaped or scaled, and i love the new design spin-off you had for them.

    Well said I could not possibly make the middle like it was the would require so many flat rocks, which is why I ended up making something a little different also the cave or arch isn't to scale per say however it has the rock in the middle of it and the rocks outside of it around to match the original. This map in no were near replica however, i think if most people took a glance at it they think it's Valhalla. Anyways thanks for the honest criticism. =)

    To be honest I really do love Valhalla, it's a beutiful map that is really balanced for Vehicular and foot combat. Blood Gulch (Hemmerage) is a terrible map, it was a good map in Halo CE because there was no DMR.

    Unfortunately for you turning Blood Gulch into Valhalla is no easy task. Making the bases is the easy part (and you have done a superb job of it), however the hill in the middle IMHO would be impossible to recreate without some extra tools from Bungie. Kodus for the attempt but the apart from the bases the rest of the map is a bit of a let down.

    The only suggestion I have is to redesign the map in a way that forge will let you. Remove the hill and the arch and add your own flavour to this map in a way that works. Good luck

    If you want to see a version that has "Own Flavour" then come and see my map.
    I have added some really neat stuff.

    this is a really cool map and this looks really cool. but send me a message and ill show you my version that i think is better. firedrone8 is my gamertag

    I really love the bases and the rock formations but i know a way of doing the middle area and making it really close. It is a good looking map but if its okay with you i want to use your bases and just build the terrain, ill give you credit where credit is due of course.

    Yeah... not exactly a very accurate remake...

    Off topic: Captn, you're the one who adopted my map on sandbox a while back right? if you are and have no plans of finishing it can I remake it on reach? Seeing as it was my idea/map in the first place?

    On topic: the middle hill, sorry to say, is horrendous. either go full on man-made, or go full natural, not in between. The rest is at least somewhat close to being accurate enough.
