GRIDLOCK Hello all welcome to my latest map. After getting into Gears of war I decided to make a map from the game - gridlock, a very simple map that has been used throughout the G.O.W series. There are a few small changes on the version I have made to the 1 & 2 versions. I planned to capture as much aesthetics as possible but this took a full budget suprisingly considering how simple the design is. I have added weapons as the original, 1 sniper with 8 shots 2 pistols & 1 rocket with 2 shots for the boom shot weapon. also 4 grenades in original spawn locations. Spawning is the same as game although I have added protected spawns to stop spawn camping and anti respawns have been used in ctf and stockpile. This works for a large amount of team games: slayer, bro slayer, power slayer, 2 flag slayer, ctf, neutral flag, neutral bomb, assault, headhunter, koth, crazy king, territories, 3 plots, land grab, infection, stockpile, oddball, jug, best plays 4 v 4 with my custom gametype to get the feeling of G.O.W on reach, loadouts are shotgun and ar, with unlimited sprint, 75% jump 200% grav, no vehical use (important that this part is set for all gametypes) No health pack but regeneration at 200% faster. Game also plays with 1 life and round ends when 1 team is dead in standard slayer. Comments and feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking
I've been wanting to do this and very glad to see it done. I've got to download this since Gridlock is a great Gears map. Looks to scale from the pics considering our somewhat limited tools. Great job and can't wait to try it out
Thank you. I have really been enjoying gears, and I wanted to try and replicate gameplay from gears to halo. Unlimited sprint works as the rodie run, or unlimited evade was suggested by zombified panda ....thanks. Very simple map, but has a layout that works well with the custom gametype. I have reduced jump height to simulate mantle over some walls. Ar and shotgun start isn't everyones favourite loadouts but it stays true to the original. I like this in slayer, last team standing, territories and koth are fun and all the other gametypes as simple as they are, they play well. Thanks
Very nice! I was gonna do something like this, but got lazy and stopped work on it a while back. Even so, your good at remakes, I'm not. *Poor scaling ability.* However, I was gonna make mine an MLG variant. I haven't played any games on this, aside a forge through with the No Sprint MLG game type, I'd say this would make a decent 1v1 map too. Just take out the vehicles. Edit: Also, it seems that you missed the Grenade spawn in front of Snipe spawn. Going by Gears 3, that is. *Didn't play any Multiplayer on 1 or 2.* Also, I see a fault in one of the towers. Its got a gap on the floor near the ledge looking toward the starting spawns. :x
Thanks for your feedback. I will look into whats missing. I will also look into the gap, appoligies....normally check for any errors or problems before launch. thanks [br][/br]Edited by merge: Thanks... it isn't anything from Halo, but it is a remake from G.O.W [br][/br]Edited by merge: Thank you! Yeah I need a capture card to do comparison pictures.... I will look on line to see if there are any available thanks
That's one of the best remakes of Gridlock from Gears of War 3 I've seen so far. You've done an excellent job of making it. It's hard to do a remake on that map. And the gametype you made for the map, It's actually the same as when you play Gears 3 you have the heath regeneration and in halo you have the sheild and heath regeneration. You changed the gametype a hell alot. I'll say this again, excellent job on map and gametype.
Thank you! Great feedback and appreciated that you understand how I tried to make play fairly accurate. It was a simple design to follow, I tried to add as much of the aesthetics as possible and made structure simmilar to bring this gears map to reach. Apologies for slow reply . Thanks
Great Remake best I have seen of gridlock and are you entering the forgien treasures contest becuase I really think you should i am entering Hotel from gears so I would love the competition
Thank fo. Your feedback. I have read about foreign treasures contest but I thought this was created before time frame for competition, and as accurate as this may be it is not complex enough to play in reach settings. I will check competition out and see if I can find something to enter. Thanks
I'm afraid this is largely underrated. It looks like crazy fun in BTB. Can't see any problems in the map... Love what u did with those buildings. Gives it a structural appeal to it along with gameplay.
Thanks! I thought the buildings are important as it is what you see in game and adds to the feel of the map. I haven't tried this big team unfortunitly the most was 4 v 4 but mostly I was playing 2 v 2. Sniper was always point of interest as I didn't have dmr starts in custom games. I did want to forge all the vehicals but I figured the real thing would capture vehical aesthetics better than forging. I do like the simplicity of this map.
I downloaded this but your gametype is not available for any of us to download lol. So I guess we will have to create our own. Good job on the design though!
Apologies. I had to make space for newer files .... I will see if I can get my brother to copy to his fileshare. Will fix asap. It is quite important the gametype as vehicals are on the map and they need to be disabled in gametype.
Well if you can't find room on a file share, another options is to give in full detail how we can make it ourselves I have seen a few posts like that because they ran into the same issue; so its totally fine Just let us all know through a comment on your post which option you did
I did add gametype description on map. It is just before second pic. 1 shotgun & ar start. At your discretion. 2 unlimited sprint. 3 disable vehicle use. 200% run 75% jump felt closest to me. The unlimited sprint and 200% run is to feel like the mantle off gears. Loadouts . Sprint and evade with close range weapons as loadouts... Ar. Shotgun, spiker was what I initially used. This basic set up is the template to set any gametype up. It was designed for slayer but works for the other gametypes too. Hope this is of some help. This is also on map description. Thanks
Timmy, why are you so awesome? Great job! I have to forge with you some time my friend. I love how you always do what you want to do and flesh out your ideas all the way. I still think you are one of the most artistic forgers out there with more patience for attention to detail than most. the buildings you create are so great man. Never stop forging!
Lol, thanks. This map came together quickly and was an enjoyable map to forge. I do have patients when I forge...atleast, when I enjoy what I'm doing ha. Appreciate all you help testing. Also co forging would be cool, I'll make some time to get online and see what we can come up with
I am a big GOW fan and love building maps from it and playing them on Reach. I dont think I need to bother with Gridlock anymore, nice job.
