Map Description

  1. Jernst Reborn
    To download this map just add Jernst Reborn on xbox live, then when in Halo scroll over to my gamertag and find it in the "Bookmarks" section.

    Finally releasing my first forge map of Halo 5! I know what you’re thinking, “Isn’t this that one map from Destiny?” You would be correct! Shores of Time was one of my favorite maps in Destiny and I decided to remake it Halo 5 style. This map is brought to you by Forge Factory!

    This is a big team map that plays Slayer, CTF and Strongholds gametypes. I suggest having 10 – 16 players as this is a pretty large map. Free For All is also fun, but the weapons aren’t exactly balanced for it. Still working on that!

    I tried to stay as true as possible to the original, although I know it is not even close to an exact remake. With Halo 5 having such different movement options and variables than Destiny I didn’t want everything to be to exact scale. Also, Destiny does not have a custom game option so I couldn't just walk around. For 2 hours I tried to get a game on the map to record it and couldn't get one. The foliage options were very limiting, so if they release more trees/grass/bushes in the future I will try to touch up parts of the map to make them more realistic. I want to thank TurbTastic and SoS Darth Algar for helping with the Aesthetics. I still have a huge budget so I will be adding things here and there as I go.

    Some things I want to point out: Almost all of the “jumps” are still there, even some new ones if you can find them. I also added a man cannon going from Red Spawn (A Spawn) to the “B” platform, because in Destiny you were able to make this gap with a double jump. Also, the teleporter actually works at B platform! It is a one-way teleporter that will take you to C cave where the water is. I made it a one-way because it felt too campy going back and forth through cave to control rockets/platform.

    The letter decals (A,B & C) only appear during Strongholds gametypes. This is something I could consider changing if people liked to use them as callouts. Also, the teleporter DOES NOT WORK in Strongholds, as it made it too easy to converge on C.

    Weapons on map currently:

    2x Sniper (Weapon Pad): 180s
    1x SPNKR Rocket (Weapon Pad): 150s
    1x Shotgun (1 spare ammo): 120s
    2x DMR (1 spare ammo): 90s
    2x SMG: 60s
    2x Storm Rifle: 30s
    2x Plasma Pistol: 45s
    1x Needler: 45s
    6x Plasma Grenades: 30s
    2x Splinter Grenades: 30s

    Originally I had 2 Rockets on the map that spawned at the same spots as “Heavy Ammo” in Destiny. They were on delayed spawn and it felt like there was just nothing to fight over in the beginning of a Slayer game. I also had the Snipers closer to the “Special Ammo” spawns in Destiny, but it felt very easy for one team to control.

    Please let me know your comments, questions, concerns, etc! I understand this is not an exact remake and some things will be slightly different, but please don’t tell me that I’m “missing a rock here”. I am more concerned about the overall flow of gameplay and the feeling of movement.

    Checked it out with you the other day and loved it! It feels just like the original, but fits for Halo. Can't wait to play an actual match on it :)

    Awesome remake man!!! Very well built for aesthetics and playstyle, and the scale is so similar to the originals!! Keep up your work man, would love to work on some destiny remakes with you as I have a couple of my own up with my own twists :)

    Awesomeeeee! By far one of the best maps Destiny has to offer featuring long sight lines as well as crazy up close and personal encounters. This remake looks and feels almost identical to the original, even with the halo 5 movement and abilities! Great remake, keep em comin!

    So I played this with a large group, 6v6. I understand you don't want to know you are missing a rock here and there, but we all felt the map needs better cover. Mess with the terrain a bit more do it doesn't seem so flat and simple. Also, the middle connect cave is huge, I'm not looking for exact, but this one is 4x bigger. The shotgun feels outdone in an area that it should be powerful. The sniper area looking towards the cave could be reworked, there wasn't a lot of cover there, but there was more. Spawning in at open areas and not having enough time to even reach cover is kind of gamebreaking when it happens nearly 50% of the time. I host custom games and this is mostly based on comments my group had made while playing, I just jotted a few things down for feedback, because I like the map and want it to play really well too. The map is pretty good, but with some work it could be great.

    Awesome, this is the kind of stuff I was looking for. Thanks D4rkDeath! I have already been working on spawning issues, especially with the flag gametypes. I understand what you mean about shotgun cave, was thinking about adding in more rocks to make it a more restricted area.

    Cover is another big problem, and I think I can fix it with possibly adding in a few objects that weren't originally in the map. I'll let you know when the rework is done so you can check it out again!
