    Gemini_H3 3.0 is a remake of the Halo 2 map 'Gemini'.
    Hopefully this will be my last version and this is actually why I spent time on a version 3:

    1. I figured out that some of the used default items from 'Sandbox' had a higher counter for the maximum allowed on the map compared with placed on the map.
    From that I gained money to increase the height of the wall surrounding the atrium.
    2. Since 'Ivory Tower H3' I like those cheap tin cups for covering area.
    I used them to replace 10 double blocks creating the atrium floor.
    Those double blocks were moved to the top of the atrium wall.
    3. Red light got removed for budget to make the map unbreakable with other items.
    4. Grav lift set to instant respawn.
    5. I lowered the fins to provide more space in the atrium and remade those rocks in the center.

    That's it basically, and I like to thank all people who posted their ideas to improve my version 2.0.

    Weapons .. additional ammo (respawn times):

    Shotgun x 2 .. 0 clips (180s)
    Needler x 2 .. 2 clips (90s)
    Sword (180s)
    Plasma Rifle x 4 (20s)
    Plasma Pistol x 2 (90s)
    Brute Shot x2 .. 1 clip (120s)
    Covenant Carbine x 2 .. 2 clips (30s)
    Beam Rifle (180s)
    Plasma Grenades x 9 (45s)

    additionally: Overshield (180s), Grav Lift (instantly), Barricades (10s)


    The layout, weapon layout, objective positions and respawns are all set with Halo 2's 'Gemini' as reference.
    This remake supports all gametypes though Slayer, Oddball and King of the Hill are recommended.

    As usual, pics from haloscreenshots.com:

    Since I'm not familiar with H2 maps, could you post some pics of the original map, for comparison? This looks great, aside from me not knowing of the original map xD. That statue thing looks great in the middle, and the aesthetics are nice.

    Hmmmm...I can see the resemblance now, but those "spikes" sticking out of the side don't seem to be in your map. Other than that, I like how you used Obelisks for the Truth sculpture. All in all, very nice map! By the way, Heretic, the new map coming out in Fall with ODST, is going to be a remake of this map, I'm pretty sure.

    It's been semi-confirmed that it will be a midship remake, but who knows.

    Couldn't resist using those $2 tin-cups in your map eh? I can't blame you, so much surface area, so much Aesthetic value. At a cost that low if you're making a skybubble map you pretty much can't NOT use them. I checked out the new version, the new rocks around the tree are great, and the new height of the sniper perches + walls adds a lot to the gameplay.

    This looks really good indeed I love the tin cup bit it looks fantastic! I think oddball or FFA would be pretty insane on this map!
