Appreciate it. We played it in TGIF 6v6 and it played really well, better than I expected. Im gonna change the suggested player # to reflect it.
Hm I really like the effect geo merging has on avalanch. It makes it seem like the crates have been sitting there for awhile and snow has piled up on them. The map looks pretty sweet, especially the defensive sniper tower.
Thanks! Yeh that effect was one of the main factors that drew me to Avalanche-forging. That and the fact that the already existing geometry is much more exciting that Foundry. That corner of the map was my fave spot from day one of the Legendary map pack, and i knew i had to build there. And actually the Defensive sniper tower was the very first thing i constructed for Coldfront. I built the entire map around it. In the snipe tower's early days it started to look like what some might say a big ****, and was called the phallic sniper tower for a while. Needless to say, I soon re-built it. I told em its taking on more of a forerunner shape, so they called it foreskin sniper tower. lol was kinda funny. But it turned out nicely. Yeh V1 wasnt perfect. It was incredibly unbalanced and the Attackers would never be able to score. Games constantly ended 0-0 and occassionally 1-0 (which doesnt make for exciting halo). But each version has had significant changes in some form or another to give the Attack a little more power. V4 being the most drastic of changes, adding the new man cannon, the extra grav lift up to the D hill, and re-working the Defensive respawn area setup. Its payed off, and there's definitely been more scoring. Games tend to end 2-1 or 1-1 now, and with more 2-2 games than there are 0-0 games.
definatly thee best competitive map i have seen on avalanch which actualy uses the vast and extremely open areas of avalanche. Beautiful forging tho.
Very nicely forged. Look forward to playing on it. There aren't many competitive maps on avalanche that are unique and well made. Good Job.
I loved everthing about this map. It's crazy. My personal favorite part was both of the sniping towers. I hope you keep posting maps here because this should get feutured. Good luck keep it up.
GEEEEZ guy! Love the merging in this level. you created some pretty original buildings. love the look to both sniper towers, but i Must say I love the one composed of the tower bases the most. Pipes, nice idea. pretty fun to mess people with lol. all the merging is Well thought out and well done. Congrats with this map on getting it featured as well, you have deserved it good sir, so take your win / DL's
Hmm, I like it. The first thing I saw was the box that held a Mongoose. I thought that was pretty nifty. The geo-merging, as many have mentioned, is quite well-done. Great idea with the mario tubes. That's just incredible. I only couldn't tell where each team spawned. Perhaps, this is because I'm too sick to walk right now and I probably just read over it, but that would be nice to know. Also, my example::: Some maps that feature the Rocket Launcher: *Isolation *The Pit *MLG Construct *Epitaph Now, the Rocket Launcher's spawn on all these maps is at such a spot that they aren't easily accessed. If I'm running down Rocket tunnel in The Pit, I better be prepared for some sort of fight, correct? Ok, thus is revealed my only complaint about this map. The Rockets spawn below "Sea Level." Therefore, one cannot see an enemy grabbing Rockets. I don't want to use the word, "easily," but it seems as if I could get Rockets on their second spawn with more ease than we are accustomed to. I won't rate this map because I like to play them in-game and decide from there whether it's worth coming back to comment on or not. I will say that it looks beautiful, and 'grats on getting featured. Good job, bro.
To cover that question since LIGHTHOUSE is probably asleep, the rockets were supposed to act like they do in standoff, and in Matty's bird of prey map. basically, they were not supposed to act as a major power weapon, but as more of a support item. an example would be that on standoff, how often do the teams rush for the rockets? virtually never. that is what i believe he was aiming for with their placement.
looks awesome. this map must play very well. Some parts look amazing, like the 1st sniper tower the rest...if Bungie put in a "paint object with a different scheme (viz. covie, human, forunner)", then this map would be a perfect 5/5 now I would probably rate it a 4.5/5 - very playable, some parts look amazing, some look, well, cobbled together still it's a pretty impressive map
Cause it is completely awesome to play on. it might not look the best, but for an avalanche map, it is the best, you are lucky LIGHTHOUSE made it for you. and dented, i'm not positive, but i'm 95% sure that they have no spare clips.
