Project Frankenstein

Map Description

  1. Ascend Hyperion
    We were so caught up asking if we could... we never stopped to ask if we should.

    Project Frankenstein is the result of a passive joke turned serious. I said hey, wouldn't it be cool to have way too many people work on a map? Then I got to thinking... I should have way too many people work on a map!

    The Build
    To keep things straight-forward and simple, Forgers looing to participate had a set of rules to follow.
    You had to build within a 64x64 area

    You had to make the piece follow one of the four section styles

    You had only 40 pieces to work with

    Other than that it was a creative free-for-all. There was a week allotted time to build your section and I assembled the monster live on stream on March 23rd as the opener for that weeks Thursday 13.

    Overall, it was a blast and everyone had a great time playing on one of the most random maps in Halo 5. It was fun to break away from sweaty competitions for a change and reconnect with so many different forgers.

    I'd say this was a success and you can expect to see more collabs like this in the future. Stay tuned!

  1. Overall, I say this project was a success. However, I regret to state that it deserves only four out of five stars. Reason: there is no access, or transition point to the map "Cesspool".

    8/5,
    This turned out pretty awesome looking. I am honored to have been a part of this undertaking and having provided you with one of my best creations ever- the Guardian!

    Chunk, friend, this is the most balanced map in Halo 5. We sacrificed cohesive design and proper meshing for pure gameplay.

    The first play on the map ended 100-97.

    You won't see that on Fracture.

    I'm waiting for the angry villagers to come by with pitchforks and torches to burn this monstrosity to the ground. Haha awesome work fitting all those random sections together Ascend. Its fun taking a break from the seriousness people put into this game.

    Pathetic. Non original- and deserves to be removed.

    Right. Good and hella cool concept but don't comment and rate your own map it just comes across as a wasted idea that is simply a push to gain attention.

    I get where you're coming from but there's no issue with commenting on your own posts. Especially since this isn't a traditional co-forge. These people made a singular section that I randomly used in the final product. There was no greater interaction beyond that. Portaleer actually didn't even know I'd be using his prefab, that was pop-fly.

    As for the ratings, yes you're right, there is basis for co-forgers not leaving ratings and some of these rating are not up to scuff with standards. I as staff can and will address those issues.

    Like I said though, this isn't a traditional co-forge. These people did not actively work on the final product.

    So when is this going to get into matchmaking? 2 extremely balanced games later, and people are flocking in droves via the custom browser.

    This clown didn't even realize he was a part of the circus until AFTER he made a review. XD

    @that guy and @Agent Zero85 I went ahead and removed your reviews in order to keep things in line with the standards for map reviews. Your enthusiasm is still appreciated though.

    @Portaleer I kept your review, seeing as how you are not listed as a co-forger for the map and had no prior knowledge your prefab would be used in the final version. Additionally, your prefab does not contribute to gameplay.
