    Hello all. Here is my remake of the original Halo map, Boarding Action. This has been a labour of love for me and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

    All the ladders have been replaced by ramps, but the teleporters remain. The two ships have also been seperated a bvit more to compensate for the jetpacks in Reach.
    After the initial playtest it was also suggested that there should be more DMRs on the map. The is now at least one DMR and one Needle rifle placed on each level.

    You could also play this map with my gametype, Boarding Action Rockets! Nothing but rockets at your disposal so fire at the opposing ship and do your best.

    does it have all the basic weapon placements from halo ce in the same spot?? but it looks like a really cool remake. the levels just seem a little small and unorganize..... it seems different

    Thank you for posting this. I have been anticipating this one since I saw the map preview. By far the best remake of this map that I have seen so far and I plan to get a lot of playtime out of this one!

    It looks good but you said there weren't any ladders? you don't know how to make ladders? and I mean ladders, not grav lifts. I suggest making a v2 with ladders, and also a CE version that is a 100% REMAKE of the exact map, after all, all the weapons that were in halo 1 are in reach.

    Why don't you tell him how to make ladders then? Your criticism isn't very constructive. I personally love boarding action and think that this map is a good remake.

    Thank you. I hope you enjoy it

    Yes it has all the basic weapon placements except the flamethrowers and fuel rod guns from the PC version. The fuel rod guns can cause framerate issues anyway so I'm glad I left them out. It does have a different feel to it but I think that's because of the ramps and the comprimises I had to make because of them.

    I hope you enjoy it.

    No I don't know how to make ladders. If I knew how to make ladders I would have attempted to make it with ladders. if you want to point me to a tutorial on how to make ladders or even show me personally how to make ladders then I will attempt to make a version with ladders.

    As to your other point about weapons, see above.

    the easy way to make ladders is to embedd some on way sheild door( orange side facing up) into the wall until its barely noticeable. then to test walk to the wall and check if it takes you upwards.

    P.S. I didnt mean the ramps in my first comment. it just seemed jumbled. but i havent played it yet. ill get back to you on that
