    Hey everyone, I have fully remade The Cage from Halo: Reach. Now I am just having some slight issues with setting up labels and game modes and all that good jazz.

    I have replicated The Cage onto the map Impact and I have place all the spawns, kill zones, respawn zones, initial spawns, ect. My only issue I am having is with labels. For some reason, I am unable to change the labels on flag stands or on respawn zones so that they are CTF specific nor on hill markers for OddBall or King of the Hill or any labels at all.

    I looked at some of the video tutorials here and they didn't really help me much except for what was needed for game mode requirements.

    So my question is if anyone can help me in any way? I am willing to invite you to my game and you can see the map yourself and see if you're able to figure out the problem within the game.

    Thanks for the help.

    Were you in the right game mode in Forge? You can only set CTF labels from the CTF Forge mode for example.

    Also, why the hell are people remaking The Cage?

    anyways, I suppose this would be a good practice map for newbies. I look forward to seeing some original creations from you.

    Didn't realize you had to be in specific game modes for Froge. And I really liked The Cage from reach, it was a very good SWAT map.

    Thanks, I have been doing level design for years so I am will probably have quite a bit to show in the future.

    You might want to watch out. A lot of people intensely dislike the Cage. Including myself.

    Which version are you remaking? The Cage, Uncaged, or Recaged?

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I am not wanting to start any drama on whos opinion is right. I like the map where as some others do not.

    At the moment, just The Cage, but I want to make Uncaged & Recaged also.

    I personally liked the cage for SWAT (and only SWAT), not near enough to make my own version, but enough to download and play yours when 343 allows.

    Also, don't forget to put kill barriers in the areas above the center and the buildings!

    Its nice to hear someone else is focusing on doing a accurate remake of a previous titles map, even though the cage had some severe flaws that I hope you have fixed :3. I am working on doing a to scale remake of Lockout, since I despise the terrain of the forge environments except Erosion, figured a floating map would be the best route at the moment.

    Played a 2 vs 2 last night that went pretty well on it, sprint does not seem to effect the gameplay as much as I thought it would, so I wish you luck on having success with your remake as well :).

    I personally would rather hang my self and choke on a giant tube of cough syrup than play anything on The Cage. The only reason I ever voted for it was because NO-ONE new where rocket spawn was so it was 4 easy kills. But preferences are preferences, and it would be interesting to play on with BR's

    Well now that SWAT is back on the war games (where it should have been from the get-go) this map will be more useful, as i had said before, it was really only good for SWAT.

    The Cage was a decent map for SWAT and snipers. It was a very weird slayer map - fun if you committed yourself to total jetpack insanity, but otherwise just ridiculous and not amusing at all. I always did well on it in squad slayer/super slayer, but then again, I was a jetpack *****.
