House of Pain [Quake remake]

Humm...when did you start this map? Looks sexy, I really like the use of the banks and bridges. You should so me this sometime

 

This looks like something I'd forge, lol.

Looks pretty cool so far, but put too many of those bridges together and you'll have yourself some massive FRL. I'd know.

If my xbox was working, I'd love to help you forge this. Damn, I miss forging.

Good luck, can't wait to see the finished version of this.

 

you should give it to me cuz i love building quake maps

 

blaze, spent like 4 hours last night finishing up the map aesthetics, so you will definitely have to check this **** out later
oh yeah, and I did weapons and spawning also

 

You should use my gametype *cough

 

You should use his gametype. *cough*

 

Please don't kill me. Other than that it looks incredible, especially what you did with the platform pieces on that wall. Out of curiosity what did you use for the stairs?

 

sorry rho, we have to use NR 1v1, the speed on yours is too fast and you can make some jumps that aren't meant to be there (still using aftershock for Epicenter tho)
our map requires 150 speed, not 200


@pyro, its fixed, trust me, its all fixed
that room, IMO, is the plainest room of the map
stairs are made of Bridge corners upside down

click for surprise

Spoiler

 

That's what I thought based on the pattern I'm wondering about the knee high wall around there too. At first I though it was bridge pieces but looking closer I have no clue what those are.

It's still crooked btw, although that's probably below the tolerance of the angle glitch.

 

If I know what you're talking about those are Platform, Larges.

 

I like how you used the side of the tower tall after being in my map and then beat me to a map preview hahah anyways can we get a new pic of the stairs... i think theyve been updated

 

Oh no.
An upside-down cross in the sky.
Let's all ***** about how satanic Bordello it.
lol.

Jokes aside, I've been wanting to see more Quake remakes as they were generally good maps. I get the feeling this one will transition well into Reach.

 

That's not the only piece of lovely "satanic" architecture in the map.

 

hey, your cross is upside down.

 

They're good maps in Quake. Outside, and they don't mingle well. The lack of strafe jumping and rocket jumping just makes the maps feel lacking. Maybe if you don't play Quake they seem like good Halo maps, but after running circuits around DM6 in Q3 it just doesn't feel the same in Halo.

Anyway, I've never liked House of Pain much. Re-make's looking pretty good so far though. I'd get rid of the floating cross, it just looks odd and out of place. Also, try not to make the tops of the walls all one level and straight. It makes them look, hm... unnatural. Having them alter in level height and adding some pillars and **** like that helps add depth and just makes them look a whole let better.

 

I believe we have integrated the cross better in the new version, IDK if it was saved or not.
Unfortunately alot of the key physics of quake dont transition over to reach well, but I dont think that that makes the maps transition poorly. You may loose some of that same nostalgic feel, but if you wanted it to look and play exactly the same, why not go play it in Quake.
We have adapted the map to reach flow, reach game mechanics, and reach architecture (the rest of the map is pretty out there though), and thats the best we can do, right.
