    AKA "the ? challenge". This is my puzzle map. This map has 9-10 challenges in it, depending how you look at it. My last puzzle map, Ninja IQ Test was based off well know glitches used in slightly devious ways. This map however takes all of those glitches, takes like two of them, and combines them in ways that are completely unique. (If you have seen one of the tricks before, I have not)

    The Gametype needs swords instead of ARs to make gameplay more smooth.
    Swords are needed

    Those are fence walls for a reason

    Shooting range!

    Not another one =(

    That's to high to jump with a gravlift
    [​IMG]
    More than one puzzle here
    [​IMG]
    The shoot 'n' slide (the wall cuts in to slow descent)
    [​IMG]
    Can anyone say boom? (this pic and the one above are not affiliated. I skipped a room as to not give away the answear)

    Please don't leap with faith; leap with skill

    The overview (in case you missed it the first time)

    Have fun.
    P.S. send me the video of you originally beating the course when you finish. (reference for the skill level)

    Download gametype here

    Here's the walkthrough--Don't watch unless you're really stuck.

    People that ask for tutorials are silly. It's a puzzle, the whole point is to work it out yourself! If you can't do it then you're just not good at puzzles, period.

    It would be like playing Sudoku and having the answer given to you, what would be the point in playing it?

    Anyhoo it looks like it might be challenging. I just hope there isn't a load of "Find X behind wall"

    well this certainly was well thought out. it was a good idea and i love puzzle maps. I'd perfer if people would use their talents on other sorts of maps, but this is a solid, well-though out puzzle map.

    ok the vid's up from youtube. I hope that you try the map before you watch the video. Is it not working? I can't see it but it was working earlier.

    As promised I have returned.

    I've completed it, naturally. I liked the first puzzle, I hadn't seen that before. There was a nice variety to the puzzles, simple yet effective. You definately have puzzle-making talent.

    Now, the problem...

    Oh grav grav gravvy lifts. Whenever you put grav lifts in your puzzle maps you have to be very very careful. I almost always break puzzle maps because of grav lifts and this one is no exception. When you pick up the grav lift, you can throw it down, go back and get another grav lift, and go to the next area with an extra grav lift. So I did and I skipped out half the puzzle map.

    There are three ways to fix or handle that kind've situation. One is to make it so that you need to use the same grav lift twice to solve the puzzle, another is to make it so that you need to carry the grav lift to the next room to do the next puzzle, and the other is to make the grav lift respawn time above 45 seconds so that another grav lift won't respawn until the previous one has died out. (For that last one you have to make sure the run-time minimum is set to 0 and the run-time maximum is set to the number that are on the map)

    Anyhoo here's the vid of me completing/breaking the map. Bungie.net : Community : Forum Topic Listing : Forum Reply Listing

    But keep it up, just be wary of the importance of testing. No point making fantasticly amazing puzzles and then people just skipping them all because they found a way out of the map. Making a puzzle map unbreakable is the hardest job of all, I spend weeks testing my puzzle maps and people have still found the odd break.

    thanks guys for the support. = ) this is my best one so far, not saying that I'm making another one, I might, so I'm glad you appreciate it. Puzzles are almost more tedious to make because you have to try it mltiple times yourself to make sure that it actually works. lol.
