Hello, I just recently created a nice map with a freind, originally named Aeris. While the map is pretty much finished I do need help laying the spawn points and weapons. I also want to get this map published to the community, becuase for a beginner in forge, I think I did extremely well. If somone would like to contact me to help me finish my gamertag is the same as my user-name. The co-creater of this map is Shank n Spank88, he did about half the work.
It would be nice if you could give us some idea of what the map looks like, etc. so people can think up ideas.
ok I will describe the layout as if I was facing the two bases in foundry. the left and right base are semi symmetrical, with 3 or 4 double boxes as towers in each base. Each base contains a ghost. there are two dumpsters on each side, both located on top of the ramp, so you can jump onto the boxes. The rooms are walled by window panels. In beetween the two bases are another double box. Now you turn around. The base that was on your left is now on your right and vice versa. On you right side is a 3-story building structure. There is a small tunnel pathway leading down the right side of this. What makes this pathway tunnel like is the fence walls on top of it, with one fence wall at the edge of the building and touching the wall(edge of map).. when you approach the pathway you notice a doorway leading into the first story of the building. This doorway is at the corner of the building, facing right, towards the wall(edge of map). When you go inside .... OK...I can continue this or you could send me a freind request and play with me at pacific 10:00. pacific is GMT-8 so that would be GMT 6:00 right?
sounds good Ok, if you mean pics ill get some by tommorow, much faster than describing. Ill add you when I get home(at collage right now) Maybe you can give me advice on spawn points and weps later too?
Link How do I go about posting a download link? I have a link to bungie.net with the map if that helps... http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=59591805
Maybe put a power weapon (laser, sniper, shotgun, etc.) in between the bases. This makes teams want to leave and fight in the open instead of staying in the bases. I personally i like a mix of long and short range weapons, scattered evenly throughout the map. Hope that helps.
yeah I have an amazing floating platform with a snipe, the top of the structure is open and has a snipe, theres a sword beetween the bases, a rocket in a nice niche, and a shed-like area with a shotty.
How many other weapons are there? You may need a wide variety to counter all those power weapons. Then again, the pit has all those.
yeah definitely. I have brs and smgs in the bases, as well as sticky grenades, a needler on the lower platform, spikers in the structure, invisability in a box, explosive barrels around snipe, bubble in bases, 1 fire grenade spawning in middle area, and a power drain+grav lift on lower walkway.
Sounds great. I'd love to see screenshots, I can't help right now (I probably don't have time anyway when I do get my xbox), but I'd love to see what it looks like.
Here are the screenshots I promised, sorry it took so long. The top one is slightly out-of-date, I modified the fusion coils slightly. If you look carefully in the Base screenshot, there is a receiver node near the top in a small room we created. This is not tied to the one below, which you see in the platform screenshot. The one in the platform shot goes into a corner of the structure. The sender node for the base-shot reciever is in a location you need to find for yourself(easy to do), is easy to snipe into, and contains a splazer.
Hello? I finally have the screenshots up, does anyone want to get a firsthand look and give me some criticism? or advice?
please I am really trying not to let this post die and really want some help with the map. I have posted some pics of the map. please be as good as to post some comments and connect with me on live to fix some of the problems with this map.
This thread does not meet standards. Map posts are supposed to be posted under Halo 3 Maps, not Halo Forge Discussion. They are to include screenshots, map description, and download link as well, and if the thread is not updated to include the aforementioned within 24 hours it is to be locked. Also, do not triple post in order to bump your thread. In the future, just make a proper map post here. Read this to understand map posting criteria, and this to learn how to embed screenshots.
