Remake Reconstructed

Awww it's all boxed in? I'll miss jumping off the edge on accident on the platform just above the large yellow lift.

 

Why say just negative things? Compliment him on the good parts of his map, too!

I for one think the map looks absolutely amazing. Just by looking at it I can immediately tell that it's Construct. The mouse-overs are a VERY nice touch to the thread, as it lets people see just how accurate this map is. I can't wait to relive some classic Halo 3 gameplay on this map! 5/5, amazing job!

 

Wow, this map is pretty dang good. The overall structure is good, but the details aren;t great. But they don't have to be. I'm sure the gameplay is good, and hopefully the spawns are nice. I'll give it a DL, gl on the Forgotten Treasures contest. Too bad though there's no missle pod or flamethrower. Also it wont have the nice aesthetic background, but it's all good. Nice job.

Also from the pics it doesn't look like theres a hole in the middle that would lead to the flamethrower, hopefully it's just the angle of the pic because that would be a change.

 

lol i moved my mouse over the action shots expecting a flashback XD

anyways, good job on your map. only problem i see is a few jumps and the fact that its boxed in...

will download never the less and play test when i get the time

 

But how would you do this with Headhunter? :O

 

Is it me or does this lag on the ground floor? (not the basement)

 

Ahh.. Construct. I miss this map from H3. I'm glad to see someone finally remade it! It looks pretty faithful, good job!

 

Best remake of Construct to date; unfortunately, unplayable in my opinion. While it is the most accurate remake, it's also very sloppy. Also, if you replace some of those window ceilings with solid ceilings, it may reduce the lag. Overall, the big issue I have with it, is the lag. It's noticeable, and it's just not acceptable. At a competitive level it would effect gameplay, and as such, I just can't recommend this map to others. However, if you were to work out the lag kinks, we'd definitely have a winner as far as quality goes. This thread might be of some help to you, if you didn't already check it out.

 

Amazing remake, it gives off the feeling of familiarity and reminiscence, and i loved how you built the structure to accommodate the gravity differentiation. Really good job, keep up the good work

 

Looks good. I tried it out in forge, and everything looks pretty faithful to the original. but, maybe replace the covanent batteries with fusion cores; they look more like them. And also, the lifts work better than I dreamed, but they are a little off when you look at the entrance from the ground floor (not basement). overall though, this is awesome.

 

This looks like a great remake, it seems like it would play exactly like the original. I am just thinking that the scenery and aesthetics aren't really there, which would give the game a different feel. Even though it is hard to put these outdoor details on a map, I have seen people do it really well, and it is worth the effort. But great map either way will DL

 

There are no bumps, z-fighting etc. But, as I said, ANY lag makes a map unplayable to me. Just like a PC player would consider a lag spike horrible, I consider in-game lag horrible.

The grav lift is a serious issue as it is. A; you'll get less lag if you have the stripes going horizontal, B; you cant throw grenades up into it, C; can't throw them down it. The other ones also stop grenades, making that a safe camping area.

Sword spawn causes a HUGE fps drop if looking down at floor level. Many jumps also no longer work (which can be blamed on the new jump height, but for Odyssey the creator accounted for that and has so far remade Lockout perfectly for default Reach gameplay). You can also get out of the map in 2-3 different areas, but you've played killzones nicely so it's not really a problem.

Please don't misunderstand me, it's a great remake, and definitely the best so far, in terms of aesthetics and playability. I just believe that it can be taken even further, with some adjustments. It is a fun map, just not for super competitive play.

 

Looks great and true to the orginal! Loved the mouseover pics so we can compare, and there is a really good correlation. From the pics I would think it will play much like the original. You have my DL.

Keep up the good work!

 

No...there is another. (Quote from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi). This certainly isn't a bad remake. I mean just by looking at it you ca tell what it is, and it plays fairly similarly. It was sloppy in various places, things could have looked much smoother with better planning and proper allocation of forge pieces. I also had some noticeable framerate issues on the bottom tier...

There isn't too much to say, its a remake. Not bad, but unfortunately not the best. I have recently tested (I forgot who is working on it... someone from the pub I know that much) a much better remake. I don't want to come off as harsh, but when it comes to remakes you need to hear the truth. Its not the worst, but its not the best.. yet. You've proven you are capable of making a good remake, but its up to you to keep refining your technique, and to keep at it to make a perfect remake.

 

I have permission from Shadow to Necro this thread.

Today I downloaded your remake, I was incredibly pleased with the attention to detail, the grav lifts were a great idea, it actually felt like the original Construct lifts. I had a 1v1 with my cousin, I came across minimal bad spawns, but what I noticed the most was the intense lag. I know it's almost impossible to not have any lag, but I went into forge myself and deleted the boundary walls and the lag in Mid, Sniper Spawn, Under Sword Spawn were all gone. However, there still was lag looking back from the Sword. The only way I could get rid of it was adding walls etc to prevent you from looking out onto Mid and below. Unfortunately doing so doesn't make it a true 100% remake, but for gameplay I would suggest making these small changes.

 

Thank you for necro-posting this thread because this is the best remake of Construct I've seen, and I've been looking for a good remake.

This map was very well made and feel almsot like the original.

 

if this map could fit in tempest, I really recommend doing that as the frame rate problem is not as bad there.
