Introducing... THE ANNIVERSARY PROJECT A collection of maps built using the Forge capabilities of the Anniversary maps to recreate more classic Halo maps and add new content for Halo: Anniversary players. COMPLETED MAPS (available through my file share): - Longest - Warlock COMING SOON: - Foundation - Derelict - Chill Out - Chiron TL-34 - Lockout ***NEW*** - Midship ***NEW***
Sigh this is why I hate the anniversary map submission. They want us to forge on maps that were poorly designed for forging. Glad to see someone's attempting this though. Anyways I could see Foundation +Warlock doing pretty well. As long as theyre accurate. But you could get rid of some of that overlapping I see in the image. As for some of the others, IDK yet. But as far as I see, you stand a pretty good chance since not many people here seem determined for the submission. Keep us updated on the pics And chose some better snapshots for those that we dont know.
Was just wondering... Has anyone tried remaking Chill Out using the Prisoner canvas? Didn't know if it would be possible due to the size.
Between the size, shape, and limit of forge objects? I'm 100% certain it would be impossibly. An invasion map where Spartans have to fight their way upwards is an idea I've had for a while, though...
If 343i had an sense, they'd make all of the map packs available for free starting this Summer in order to try and revive the player-base leading up to the release of Halo 4. When these new Anniversary maps are to be implemented into MM would be the optimal time to do this.
I swear, somewhere in this world, Mickraider is giving you a thumbs up. These look pretty solid my man, im digging the Warlock remake a lot. But how are you going to pull off Chiron TL-34? The map is quite large and your not going to have enough tele's and budget. And most importantly, space. That is definitely hard to pull.
Oh, I've got my ways. It's actually coming along quite nicely. However, it will most likely be one of the last maps we release due to it's complexity and need for a little more testing/polish.
Smexy Foundation...mah gawd... I loved that map for screwing around in Halo 2. Also, that one piece on High Noon with the glowy pattern on the end that works as a Brace Large is awesome.
Unfortunately I've already seen a better looking wizard/warlock remake on hang em high, but haven't seen a longest. If you can pull off chill out on hang em high that would be very impressive. Honestly Chill out and Longest would be the two maps I would most like to see added.
I honestly haven't seen any other Warlock remakes that have been done on HEH. There was one made by Psychosis687, but that was a remake of Wizard which has become a bit outdated over the last 10 years as opposed to Warlock. Anyway, I can confirm that Chill Out is in fact coming, but we may have decided to rebuild it on Ridgeline instead due to certain pieces not being available in High Noon's forge palette.
Chiron shouldn't be too difficult to pull off; just gotta know the layout. And when you run out of teleporters, you could connect the remaining rooms with capture plate-walls (so you can walk, but not see, fire, or throw grenades, through.)
wow that looks great, when will you be uploading more pics of the oher maps?? and will you be remaking Valhalla, Avalanche and sandtrap??
I don't believe maps of that size and complexity are possible through Anniversary's Forge. Our main focus is Halo 1 remakes b/c HCEA is a tribute to Halo 1 and we want to add to that (but there are a few Halo 2 maps that are more than possible to make and play well w/ Halo 1's gameplay). With that said, I would like to take this time to announce that both Midship and Lockout are being added to our list of remakes. We're going to try and put updated pics of the progress of all of our maps as soon as we can. Most of the ones in the OP are outdated.
It may be possible. I'll have to look into it. Our main concern right now are maps that could possibly be integrated into the Anniv. Classic playlist so 4v4 is really the size we're looking for (at the moment), but we'll be adding to this project all the way up to the release of Halo 4 trying to get as many maps built as we can. This project really is our last hoorah and we're taking everything we've learned about forging remakes up to this point and are putting everything into this final project of ours' so expect to see many more maps coming besides just the ones we have listed. If it can be done, it will be done.
Alright, I know I haven't done any updating here for awhile so here's the status of this project: Not long ago CC put out request for new Anniversary maps for possible consideration for MM. At that time we were in full swing here on this project. As the CC initiative went along we saw very few attempts from anyone else trying to make any remakes for MM. We felt our chances of getting these maps into MM had risen just then w/o a lot of "competition" to go against. Since then, we've been focusing on polishing up the maps that were close to completion and getting them as lag-free as we could and we put the others on hold. Now that this MM thing is winding down and online file sharing has returned on Waypoint, we're getting back into the maps that we've had on-deck (Foundation, Chill Out, etc.) and will be getting them to you as soon as they're ready. In the meantime please enjoy the ones we've finished so far: - Longest - Warlock ...as well as a little bonus for Reach players: - Blood Gulch
