I wish you had made this perfect visit back to a Halo 2 map during the remake contest. You probably would have gotten runner up. Every detail I see looks exactly like the original, at least within the capabilities of Forge. Something I would do though, is make the scenery in the rooms as close to what they had in Halo 2 as possible. I'm pretty sure there were pallets in a couple of the rooms. Too bad there aren't any barrels and crates lol. Something else you could do if you have any extra walls or thin immovable scenery objects left is rather than using lights to indicate which room is which, which you can still do if you really want to, you could use those walls (or thin immovable objects) (or even teleporter writing now that I think of it) to either try to write out the number of the room or do either a simple tally or a roman numeral system (|,||,|||,|||| - |,||,|||,|\/). Either of those would be a lot easier than using tele-writing (forgot exactly what it's called). But if you could pull it off, tele-writing would make the aesthetics even more amazing than they already are.
Those walls look pretty easier to buddy jump over. If you have resources left over at the end you should make it taller.
I don't think they look short enough to do that.... I mean I suppose adding extra height to the walls couldn't hurt.
MAN^^ GOOD to see some people are interested^^ EHM one thing i would have made it downloadable yet, but i still need to test it. anyone who's interested send me a friendrequest and a pm to say that you added me for testing^^ that would be nice =) than we can first forge a bit together to get to know the exact map and so on... or even improve it in some ways^^ =]
This is actually a pretty good remake. Sorry but i would half to go with the first one though, Excavation.
Dude. You have to release the map so people can experience it to tell you that its better than excavation!!! RELEASE IT!!! I CAN TELL IT'S BETTER THAN EXCAVATION JUST BY YOUR SCREENSHOTS!!!
Very nice. This is a perfect remake so far...is it done? I can't tell because you put it in this forum. But anyways, this looks really great.
UPDATE (first page) I tried it and I think you can't get out of the map Well extra height is impossible ecause of the object limit. Got a name for the map? POST IT!!!
I assume you can get out. Same method as I used on the old "H3 Foundation" on Foundry. Get rockets. look down and jump in grav lift. Shoot ground when you are up a bit. You don't die, but you get grav-lift height plus rocket jump height. It's fine though. You don't really need to fix something that people won't do, especially if they can't do much once they do it. If there was ammo up there, then it would be bad.
Thanks for your tip! I'll definetely try that out next time I'm online. If you can get out i'll find something to avoid this =) Edit: just updated some pictures...
WTF dude why the hell aren't you adding my gamertag so YOU and YOUR friends can test it out? xD maaaaaaaaaan^^ so complicated? already wrote that....
oh snap! My bad, man! I haven't been on in the past week or so. I organize a "Halo Fest" once every other month. The last one ended a few weeks ago and I've been hard at work on the next one. I'll add you asap (probably sometime tomorrow- tuesday, July 7th). Any way I could get the map from you before August 8th? That's when our next Fest is. For my variant I want to have 4 teams of 3 ctf. That would be sweet! Anyway, I'll add you ASAP.
kk =) But you should know that there are NO ctf gametypes with 4 teams That's just not possible. How should that work? xD well doesn't matter If you and some friends are testing the map with me, then it will be released way before august 8th =) just need to fix the spawns maybe or sth like this^^ =) would be awesome the freaks on my friendslist are mostly generals who only want to play mlg matchmaking
It is possible to do ctf with 4 teams, though your map might not be built for it. How close are you to releasing this map? Ideally, I'd like it by July 30th...
how the hell is it possible to play capture the flag with 4 teams? .................... i think there is no possibility to do that....
