Map Description

  1. ReinaStorm
    Gridlock, Gears of War's most iconic map, remade in Halo 5.

    This map was fun challenge to make.
    I made it as close to the original as possible.
    I'd say it's practically a 1:1 scale remake.

    The map functions and plays just like Gridlock from GoW.

    At first, when I was building this map, I tried to do a few changes the some of the map's outer walls to try an make some things work.
    But after taking time to test and experiment with blocks and coloring, I got the map to look as close to the original as possible.

    With the new weather effects, I was able to really give this map the touch of life it needed with an overcast sky and rain.

    I placed an aging filter over it to really drive in the Gears feeling.

    This map is set up for Team Slayer, Strongholds, CTF, Breakout, and FFA.


    (I now have a new version of Gridlock as well, overtaken by nature, found here: http://www.forgehub.com/maps/gridlock-reclaimed.3035/)

    10/5,
    Some days ago, I played in this map in a custom game, ctf and a type of game that I do not remember well but starts with Halo 2 BR, never played Gears but I recognized several maps, this one identifies it and when I started playing I loved the bridge style that Is handled here makes the map a lot of fun, the sniper plays a fundamental role and aesthetically looks great, this map does justice to the original and plays very well in Halo 5.
    Good job

    Very nicely done. I do enjoy these Gears maps being made to play with Breakout. This might be the best looking one yet

    I really enjoyed this map in my lobby earlier. However, there are some small issues I found.
    • I think you should replace the sniper rifle with something else that doesn't give a 1hk. Weapons like the Hydra Launcher work in Breakout because there's time for the player to dodge to projectiles and find cover. With the sniper, it's an instakill if you get hit.
    • In the game I had, we had 9 rounds because each team won 4. But in the last round, the spawning went to ****. Some players spawned on their opponent's side of the map. Not sure if that's on you though or if the game just decided to crap out. Still, you should look into it.

    About the sniper, I'd suggest using the "Breakout Arena" gametype. Shields are normal in that type. It prevents the sniper from being 1hk.
    It's what I used for playing this map, since it's not a traditional Breakout map.
    (probably why I didn't encounter the 1hk sniper problem.)
    I don't want to change the sniper because it's the weapon there in Gears of War.

    As for the spawning, I'm honestly not sure what happened.
    I can do more testing on that when I get a chance, but I haven't encountered any spawn issues.
    But I will look into it.

    I do believe the spawning problem has been fixed in the update I just made to Gridlock.

    After trying to record some footage for a map trailer earlier for Gridlock, I discovered that "Breakout Arena" was changed and now weapons are different in that gametype.
    Breakout Arena is no longer my recommendation for this map.

    Standard "Breakout" is now my recommendation.
    I'd say edit the settings for normalized shields if you want to keep the sniper from being a 1hk.

    Yeah, I figured as much.
    Not sure why Breakout Arena was changed, but oh well.
