    sweet map! that curved part must have been a ***** to make. i really like your take on this, and the map looks very nice.

    an idea though for the cannons - you can make a floating man cannon in the air that is in line with the trajectory of your character when youre launched, so that it pushes you further, and hopefully into the other base

    however, if you dont want to do this i think it will still play nicely

    wouldnt having man cannons that go from base to base defeat the fighting aspect of the game?

    I have made a map like that already, well in a sense. I named it Cloud nine v1, it is in my fileshare if you want to check it out. Or I will post it on here shortly, which would proably be more beneficial to everyone. I will add it soon, playing some team mythic atm :D

    want to see what 800 hrs looks like check my maps.



    Ok, for all you noobs out there like Shredded Dreamz, it's not just about the thread, if you down load it you can see that this map emphisizes aesthetics and competitiveness. You really don't see the fact that this is all floated at made above the grid line. Please next time down load it and look before you start a stampead of people writing the same thing as you because they just want to get a post down. This map is well done and good for it representation made in a mythic way. Nice job and keep up the creativity.

    hmm the only thing I dont like about this map is that the texture of the Sandbox scenery somehow doesnt fit narrows... otherwise 9/10 :)

    This looks like a solid map from the pics. I can't wait to try it out, though.

    Well, not sound mean or anything but it is named Ancient for a reason my friend :D Glad you enjoyed it!

    I hope it exceeds your expectations, thanks for leaving feedback. Take Care!

    ahh i need these maps haha. I thought of remaking a map in the sky bubble too. Won't say which one cuz someone may be stealng the idea... anyways, the map is great but i'm confused as to why the oversheild and camo spawn so closely together, if one team beats the other to the middle they can have both. but thats just my thought, the map overall though (ignoring weapon placement) gets a 5/5

    This map looks very awesome. I love how you have based it on an original bungie map then taken it further to create a map of your own. While this has a feel of narrows the gameplay will definitely be different as the bases and the center are different to the original narrows. Nice to see a remake with lots of originality while keeping to the feel of narrows.

    Good map, keep on forging! 4/5

    i bet that this could possibly get a feature, exccelent forging, the bridge is perfectly forged. looks almost exactly like narrows.

    wait, without the mancannons working that well, i change my mind about the feature. Sad faice :(

    5/5 anyways and DL

    If you could add another layer (to make it look thicker) maybe it wouldnt bother me XD that might be the reason, it looks pretty thin and most ancient structures were built Sturdy and strong. but thats my advice, it would 100% make up for the texture :) if you do that i would rate it 10/10

    That is not possible unfortunately I have reached the object limit pretty much...I have been toying around with the limited spaces available for the final copy on April 9th. You have a point though :D

    hmmmm... I alwas hated the OLN on every map. I wonder if their is a glitch to surpass it? ill note that for later... but anyway adding another layer would sure help it along. toy around and see what you can forfeit (any un-needed objects the players dont have access to) and add it to the places that need it most. I had to do that on a map I built called SkyLanche I sacrificed half of the castle to prevent camping and leaving a way to "Deal" with campers in the spots I left for a personal advantage.

    A

    Ancient Narrows
    Created by USNSEABEE555

    Supported Game types:
    Slayer, TS, CTF, Oddball, plus many other custom Game Types.

    Map Description:
    Well it originally was meant to be a replicate of Halo's "Narrows".
    After getting started I realized, there was no way I would be able to
    recreate it due to the 3 Limits restricting us from overloading the
    map. So I went custom with it. I uploaded the first version of it to
    Bungie, then decided to change a few things..below is a list of all
    weapons & equipment placed. The map took a guesstimate of about
    40-50 hours, yes I know...get a life right? haha! Other then that
    Enjoy!! P.s. If you like my map please be a community hero and don't
    forget to rate and maybe leave a comment on its page via Bungie.net.
    Thanks for any and all support!!

    UPDATE:
    Ok so the older versions were pretty rough, but I honestly feel that I have revamped the map with the changes made. After the constructive criticism received the new one is bound to get a few head nods now. Maybe a download or two? we'll see Enjoy

    - Added 2 battle rifles
    - Removed man cannons from base
    - Added two man cannons to the bridge area (to make it more similar to Narrows)
    - Moved the Overshield and Camo (see screens)
    - Moved the Sniper (see screens) NOTE: This was my buddy DE4TH DEAL3R's idea, thanks bro.
    - Deleted both old bases and remodled here and there


    Weapons Utilized:
    Battle Rifle x 10 (multiple locations)
    Covenant Carbine x 6 (multiple locations)
    Shotgun x 2 (one on each side of the bridge)
    Sniper Rifle x 2 (one at the very back of each base)
    Machine Gun Turrets x 2 (one on top of each base)
    Rocket Launcher (center of map lower walkway)
    *Note: as you can see not a lot of weapons were added, wanted this to be more of a competitive map.


    Equipment Utilized:

    Grav Lifts x 4 (two at each base, bottom floor corners)
    Plasma Grenande x 4 (center of bridge, on top and below)
    Bubble Shield (centered on the lower walkway)
    Power Drain (middle area of bridge)
    Regenerator (center of bridge)
    Radar Jammer (middle area of bridge)
    Overshield (see screens)
    Active Camo (see screens)

    Credits:
    Hope everyone enjoys the map, Thanks for taking the time to check
    it out and the first version. As it has a different layout, see which one you like better..hope this is sufficient enough info to encourage you to d/l
    the map and round up some friends and play some CTF.


    Special thanks to my friends who helped me test out the game play, much appreciated!
