The contest deadline is tomorrow, so I won't be making any more adjustments until the contest is over and the winners are announced. I also can't do anything else to the map since I'm away for thanksgiving.Here are the changes made in the last update:
- Moved Storm Rifles to the Halo 2 BR / Carbine positions.
- Changed the fury Storm Rifles to 40% power. This makes them function more like covenant SMGs. You can get kills fast, but only have the power equivalent of one clip in an SMG.
- Swapped the Halo 2 BR and Carbine for Halo 5 BRs, to make the Lightrifles more desirable by comparison. Placed the BRs near red / blue strongholds.
- Removed the Boltshots from the level. No one picks up Boltshots
- Removed some skybox elements to help reduce the potential for frame drops.
Frame drops remain in a few areas, but I'm considering it a trade off for the extra level of detail throughout the map, and I've also run out of time to fix the issues anyways. Someday 343 will put out a bug fix and we can have the best of both worlds. For now, that's just how it is.
Good luck to anyone else participating in the contest! I'm looking forward to seeing the wining entries.
