Best Foundation Remake _____________________ MAP IS RELEASED FINALLY _____________________ :happy: :embarassed: :cry: :frustrated: :irritated: :lol: mg: :shiver: :haha: :sick: :joker:
Wow! So far so good mate. It's really shaping up, and from the first screenshot, I could have easily made out that this was a Foundation remake with reading the thread title. Keep it up, I can't wait to see the finished product. =)
Thanks mate^^ I'll forge tomorrow as long as i can and i think it will be ready then =] If not then tuesday... I loved to play Zombie on this map^^ Think it will work nearly as good as on the original one =)
It looks REALLY good. But excavation is perfect so there's no purpose for people to download a map that has already been made.
The middle Blocks seem a little too close together. and second this is in the wrong forum. Just go to Halo 3 Forge Maps
Jeah excavation is good... But there are some things that i don't like. It's just not really exact. I'm perfectionist :happy: For example: The blocks aren't interlocked. Sometimes if you throw a grenade it falls between the blocks, and that's not good for gameplay. But doesn't matter^^ Some like mine and some like excavation :happy: But this map isn't finished and i like to get some tips what to get better? Isn't discussion then the better forum?^^ Sry if i'm wrong, I'm a bit noobie in such things xD --- Update ---
Nice but it's a shame the other guy beat you to it. That will hurt the popularity of this remake when you post it. Which is really a shame because you said you've been working on this for a while. It looks really neat though. But I can't really help much because I didn't play Halo 2 ^^
what oln canvas did u use did you use the one with all the oringinal items or the one with just the original respawn points and weapons?
Actually, when I played it, it ****ing sucked. It was very easy to escape. Good luck. I looks good so far. I can't wait to play it.
IMHO this is way better than Excavation. Excavation has minimal interlocking, meaning there is much more opportunity for a grenade to get lost in the cracks on the floor, ruining gameplay a bit. It looks like you took your time to do this, and that is something to be proud of. However, if you want even more kudos, try geomerging those grav lifts. The tutorial to do so is found here. You have to geomerge the wall or whatever you're placing under the map differently, but it shouldn't be too difficult to do once you get everything under, as I have done this myself two separate times on one map on Sandbox. It will be worth it in the end, and people will praise you for it and maybe end up a little astonished
Jeah thank you =] I thought that excavation wasn't "that" good too =/ so i made my own foundation variant =] I'm keeping you updated... NOW that's what i call "help"^^ I will learn how to do that and it will look way better then =] I would be astonished too xDDD
Assuming you're talking about me, you're wrong Actually he has a chance to beat me before I finish it... see I have been in the process of getting a job as a lifeguard, getting certified, the whole shindig. However there are many... many flaws I see with your map. Unfortunately, many of your dimensions are wrong. For starters, the ring that encompasses you map is too low. After actually popping in Halo 2 and getting exact dimensions, I realized you need approximately 3 wall heights to replicate the upper level. Secondly, your turret block is all wrong. It should look like a symmetrical pentagon, not a square. The middle area seems to hold the same issue that many other foundation remakes hold, it is too high. The walls underneath the blocks angled need to be geomerged, otherwise the turrets won't be able to shoot over the middle area well. And, why are there random blocks in the 'blue' room. Yes, I know you can get up in a crevice by jumping on the different things, but dude.. don't just throw blocks in there, build the actual ledge that you can jump up onto. I've already replicated that part of the map. I hate to say it man, but it's half cooked. You obviously have the skills to perform such a remake, however you did not acquire appropriate information to accurately remake this map. While other people think it's good, in reality it's insanely far from the original foundation. There are many things out of wack, including the stairs. The stairs are actually about 1.5 stair widths, not 1 stair width.
ONE little question... You KNOW there's this thing called "Object Limit", don't you? xD That's the problem... You can't put more blocks in there to increase the height of the upper level. The thing with the green room, yes maybe i'll do that^^
ive played every single remake on FH and this is definatly better than anyother Foundation remake, the others are hardly interlocked or just dont stay true to the origional. the map looks a bit smaller than the origional but honestly i think it would play allot better that way, it would compensate for the weaker BR in Halo 3. definatly going to download this and give it a go. if you dont have enough pieces then just lower the middle structure, i havnt looked at the origional Foundation so i cant help much. but if you cant do what the above guy suggested just find other ways to get the same "feel" that Foundation had.
ehm jeah im really sry had really to learn fro school the last days. actually i only didn't updated here i worked on the map. for example i decreased the height of the middle section there's only one thing left now the purple room...i want it to get more like the original and im looking for it tomorrow. its 23:38 o clock now and i have school tomorrow. (here in germany school starts at 7:50 AM) then i have to test it and then its gonna be released^^ please hold on some days^^
jup the map is almost done i really would test it the next days^^ if someone wanna try it out xD send me a friendrequest =) i would love to play infection on it or simply slayer^^
