Tract (Turf remake) Click picture to download map or click here Hey all. I am back, not that I am that well known, with my second map. This map is a result of about two weeks of work in my spare time. I was about half down with it when the "Hidden Treasures" map was announced. Which I do plan on entering. So some constructive feed back would be great. The reason I decided to remake Turf was because I have seen a ton of remakes of Asscension (sp), Lock Out, and Hang 'em High. So I tried to pick a map that hasn't been remade a whole lot. My map, for the most part is really close to the orignal. It is some what smaller than the orignal. So for that reason I replaced the Warthog with the Mongoose. I tired driving around in the Warthog and it just didn't work out. So beside the Warthog difference, I have most of the major jumps and what not. There are a few areas, like some corners, that I couldn't make. One neat feature, I think, is I replaced the destructable civilian trucks with two flat blocks surrounded by Fusion Coils to get that orignal feel. I also added thin wooden planks in place of the scafolding that you could knock down in the orignal to cross above the streets. Also the area where the Scarab is at in the orignal, is just a mound of stone I made out of the croner blocks. Weapon layout is pretty true to the orignal. I added a Mauler in place of the Brute Plasma Rifle and added two more BRs, since they are a fan favorite. I did do a bit of a play test with a couple of friends and the only major bug I found was we only spawned in one spot on the map. I have since removed those spawn points. So if you download it and notice any other bugs, please let me know. The map name comes from me opening up my trusty thesaurus and looking up the word "Territory" and finding a word simular to Truf. 4-8 Players Map is set up for the following game types Slayer 1 Flag CTF (I tried to get multi flag to work, but it just didnt feel right) Assault Varients Oddball Weapons Battle Rifles (BR)-4 Shotgun (SG)-1 Sniper Rifle (SN)-1 SMG - 2 Magnum (P)-1 Plasma Pistol (PP)-2 Plasma Rifle (PR)-2 Brute Shot (BS)-2 Mauler (M)-1 Equipment Plasma Grenades (PG)-10 Bubble Shield (BS)-1 Engery Drainer (ED)-1 Vehicle Mongoose Overview and Weapon Placement First set of pictures Spoiler "Scarab" Area Tunnel/Window Area Ground Level with Mongoose Mongoose Area "Medic Hut" Area Garage Area Action Shots Second set of pictures Spoiler A look at the window by the first ramp next to Medic Hut A close up of the "Scarab" area. See that is me standing on the mound of junk This is the area over by the garage once going up the ramps Inside Garage Inside the tunnel looking through the top and bottom windows Out front of the Medic hut A closer look at the "civilian turcks" So if you like what you see, please, download the map here and enjoy. Again constructive feedback would be appreciated.
very nice use of the crypt. I love the design and ideas although i'm a personal fan of the sniper tower so if you put a telporter that spawns in like 120 seconds and use the floating items glitch to forge in a double wall near the top corner of the crypt that would probably be my most played slayer map. And are the points set for KotH and assault? those are the games my friends and i play the most so it would be nice if they were. edit; well do you mid if i add one ill give u credit btw
I dont remember, nor did I see, a Sniper tower in Turf. And I couldn't add a tower even if I wanted too. I used the enitre budget to make the map. As far as KOTH and Assault. The map isn't set up for KOTH. If you download it and want to add that, you can. As for Assualt. It is set up for Neutral bomb, One Bomb and regular Assault. And you can tweak score limits as you see fit when playin a custom game.
pretty nice remake, you def. need more pictures though. I'm not going to lie though, I've seen better turf remakes on foundry. It's pretty good for what i'm guessing as your first sandbox map, it's hard gettin familiar with all the new objects. first map ON SANDBOX (I'm guessing)
It took me a few times to look at the map to see the similarities in between this layout and that of Turfs. Now, Great job on the remake, very well done! The structures are as close as you can get, and the weapon placement still works well with Halo 3 gameplay. But of course, you can't make this perfect, since the crypt isn't necessarily big enough for turf (i think it's just a tad bit larger) and there probably was definitly not enough resources to do exactly what you wanted. So props on the great remake
More pictures I can do. Ill go take some more right now. Also, it's my second map, it's in the first line of the description. Yes I know you meant Sanbox. And so did I. My first Sanbox map is in my signautrure.
I'm sorry but what is a mongoose doing on turf?! Also, me and my friend are also remaking turf, and I will say that our bunker is quite "sexy", you think you can compete! HA! But really though all in all this is pretty good, some slooping interlocking here and there, but other than that good job.
Structurally, it looks fine, and it wold have been amazing given you made it neater. For example, the structure in the top left corner is a bit messy, and some of the pieces look off center. But all in all, not a bad map, at least you didn't go power weapon crazy(from what I saw, I don't really know all the weapons). 3/5, if I were playing on that map, I'd probably spend the entire time trying to get mongoose splatters, because I'm a sucker for mongooses :3.
Ok. I added more pictures. I am now at my limit of pictures for a single post. Added spoiler buttons to make it a little easier to load. As for the merging and what not. I had a hard time with items that were pre-stacked on the map. I finally figured out how to get the pre-stacked stuff to work a little better so it got better as I went. Like I said it's only my second map. So it will get better as I go.
