TheStoneScarab Use with ScarabBomb varient This is an amazing replica of a Halo 3 scarab based on the Halo 3 campaign scarab. Not only does it have amazing detail to texture and form but it has a Gametype that comes with it. Pretty much just plant the bomb in the scarab. I'm sure you'll have tons of fun playing on the map either for the purpose of planting an explosive in an ancient ruin of a scarab, or just for the visual quality of this structure. And remember, this scarab was made thousands of years ago and turned into stone, so some of the features you see today might not exist on this sleeping giant. This map might be updated as the comments for this structure give opinions on how it might be better. The pictures will not change but the link to the map will. This map also has been built for gameplay purposes so some of the structure might be a little off for a well functioning map. Update: -the legs are now interlocked more Update: -there are more scattered barricades for UNSC protection Update: -UNSC base has less blocks and no lighting effect but still functions normally Update: -scarab head patched up but no significant changes made
Okay, now that I see you revised your thread, I'll edit mine. From the screenshots I can infer that you spent a lot of time on this map. The final result was worth your time because this map appears very aesthetically pleasing. I am not exactly sure the gameplay would be the best for this map though. But that's why it's posted in the Aesthetic section, right? My original post. Spoiler Here you go, I embedded the screenshots for you. Just copy the ones in the spoiler to your thread. For future map posts I suggest visiting Halo Screen Shots to embed your screenshots. Spoiler
Hey man great scarab! looks like a real scarab especially with the gun on top. Only one thing I recommend to you, you have a shotgun, rocket, smgs, brs all right next to eachother which isn't such a good thing. Take all of them out except for maybe the shotgun or rocket. Great job otherwise. Download from me. 4/5
i had the honor of testing this map for geranamo and i must say that its an awesome scarab replica, my analysis as a tester is that this map had great aesthetic value and is set up perfectly for the variant. and to psychzero... once you leave the start point for the attackers you are out untill you die so all the weaps are needed there
As a long time scarab forger, and a (bias) great one at that, (for getting one on bungie.net frontpage) I think your scarab looks pretty good, it looks like the campaign scarab, i like how you made the turret on the back, but you need alot more interlocking, it seems you rushed and didnt interlock in the legs very much. There are alot of things i would change, for one the head, there doesn't really seem to be a head, just a opening with a wraith sitting there. the inside appears to need work, or atleast in my opinion, make a V2. from what i've seen so far, id give it a 4/5, once i DL ill give you a real rating. EDIT: Kay i DLed and looked at it, i really dont like it, but this is probably because im quite proud of my own. This gets a 3.5/5 from me. Make a V2, interlock more. I really dislike how you made the head.
Looks amazing from afar, but the up close detail is rather poor. Try a V2 using smaller parts, interlocked more. 3.5/5 from me.
Gogo incredibly overdone map! Seriously try to be creative, the legs could use some work with interlocking in such since it looks just like floating objects that are touching instead of connecting working parts. Also along with the rest of the 100s of scarabs, you failed to make the body curvy and just made it flat with the flat ramps up to the laser.
wow. nice job on the details man. I did a forge through and it was pretty unique. I like how you made the top lazer, very nice and it looks like in a game, it could be lethal if came close to. =)
Well from the pics i see this took a a fair bit of time and it came together nicely but interlocking would have helped the overalll feel by alot, the legs stand out mostly beacause of lack of interlocking, the gun on the back of the scarab however is very nice interlocking or not, im not going to DL (Aesthetic Forgers one is in my library) but good job none the less 4/5
The reason for the head being pretty much gone is for the wraith to be quite effective in game. Adding any more objects on or even near the wraith has made it shoot in places where you're not aiming. I have tested this out, and I have taken the interlocking legs into consideration. The legs are now connected and look much better. The link has been updated and I'm sure some of you will be happy with the results.
i like this but you need to work more on the head of it it looks like a mess improve that and feature more interlocking would make a great map, i love the turret on top looks just like campaign 4/5
I like the map, downloading now. Shouldn't the wraith tank be on top of the scarab, and plasma cannons, fuel rod guns be on the bottom.
The reason for the wraith being on the bottom is for the feeling of the giant scarab gun on the head shooting at you. I tried to make it as much like the campaign scarab as possible while still having it function in an assault game.
I made sure that there are the exact number of human weapons as there are with their covenant counterpart. The human base is in the crypt, if you didn't know, so there's no way for the enemies to go down there and get them. It's really just a base for them to spawn in.
looks great, the only thing I would suggest is interlocking the leg pieces because they seem to be just floating and not connected. Other than that it looks like a really good replica, good job
Absolutely amazing and copied to perfection. It even plays like the campaign because the explosion goes off in the same place. But I beleive you should have just removed the underground base and made the humans spawn uptop. And not such a big structure either but more like wide open space with tufts of cover. That way the turrets on the scarab could be useful.
