Sandbox Deadbolt

looks very nice. The pictures kinda bother me though, they look nice and all, but It kinda gives the map a better feel than it actually has. I know when I start up this map it'll just be bland Sandbox colors.

Anyway, can you escape / get on the outer wall?
And would it have been possible to make the center tower thing tall? Or was it not tall in Halo CE?

[never played MP in CE...]

 

I understand you made changes to outfit Halo 3's gameplay mechanics as you stated, and there are some nice little touch ups I can see but...I mean. Was this really necessary? I can't honestly see myself downloading this to be honest, it's really just, one more Hang 'em High remake, or one more stereotypical infection map, or one more racetrack.

 

Good job on the map. =D In the screen shots the map looks pretty dark, I hope it actually looks like that.

 

This is what we call photoshop my good friend, don't believe everything you see.

 

I like the forgeing and this is one of the better hang em high remakes, but there are so many remakes out there, your time would be better spent focusing on something original. These remakes are really overdone.

 

Wow, I'm really Impressed. The atmosphere you crafted here is amazing. After a forgethrough, I was so happy not to see the bland hues of grey that normally are associated with sandbox. The pictures don't totaly overexagerate the feel of the map. The lighting and forging are phenomenal, eventhough areas like the red/blue tele are a little dark. As far as I know, this is the best Wizard / Warlock remake I've ever seen. I am glad I dled it.

EDIT: I'm also a little confused, I'm 90% sure this is a wizard / warlock remake but 2 people above me called it hang em high...

 

I think he was comparing remakes or something.

Nexn, I'm really impressed by you once again. I saw this on MLGPro yesterday. I like how you didn't just make "another remake", but instead you changed it up and made new additions to Warlock. I'll be sure to give you some feedback once I get a game on it. I really happy you adjusted the teleporters to make them non-campable as well.

I've just downloaded and had a quick walkabout and game. The map is exquisite in detail, aesthetics and clean forging, absolutely top notch. As someone that still loves CE and still yearns for the classic maps of the olden' days, this can't get any better.

Of course its not perfect, there are little bumps and some places are a little too dark for me (even on higher brightness) but for feel, flow, visuals and just an all round immense map you can't really get any better.

I don't care if there are other remakes out there, this is still a spectacular map which should be staying on my HD for many nights to come. Great job neXn!

 

I played KOTH on this with a 4v4 party last night and it was hell-a-fun. I really like how the hills are all on higher ground and susceptible to heavy fire. And having to jump for the middle hill made for some really intense battles for the middle hills.

My only complaint is that is was very dark. Could you possibly move the lights a little closer to the playing area? That would probably take away from the feel of the map and how accurate of a remake it would be... but I think it would help gameplay a lot.

 

Wow you did a really good remake of warlock !

The teleport are very cool for them colome on each side of him !

The midle look very aeshwestic and the name are very original !

Good map and i give you a download ! 5/5 .

 

Ive played a couple games on this now, and while incredibly well-built, both games were littered with players complaining about how dark it is. The colorblind/juicy combo works much better in the skybox than it does the crypt (which is naturally darker). I can delete the fx easy enough on the copy I have, but I thought you might want to consider ditching them altogether.

 

My TV isnt close to dark, in fact, its much brighter than how default Halo displays. It may not be too dark for you, but its clearly too dark for many others. The fx just aren't working here. period.

Its ok, Ill just delete them on the copy I have.

 

guys, play the map before commenting. the pics aren't photoshopped, he used fx orbs.

while you may see it as a reimagining into halo 3, that's just another way of saying remake. the map is very well forged, that makes it my favorite wizard remake or "reimagining" or whatever. the forging is the only thing that really sets this map apart though. wizard is by far the easiest map to remake. try something more challenging, then you'll really have my attension.

as for the darkness, i don't mind so much that you have to get used to it to be able to see well. i just dont like the way it makes the map feel.

 

I dig the atmosphere of the map with the fx, thats for sure. I just feel the tradeoff isn't quite worth it. While the middle of the map isn't too dark, the edges definitely are, IMO.

As for an ATLAS weapon set, Id like to see a Needler or 2, perhaps on the stone/gold plats, or underneath them.

I also saw someone mention either here or in the MLG forums (i get mixed up sometimes) that they'd like to see the plasma rifle/mauler moved underneath the platforms to the ground, so that you had to break top control to scoop them up. I really like the idea of that, and Id like to see how it plays. If I have customs going soon, I may hop over to forge and make the switch to see how it fares. In theory, it makes sense, but we'll see.

 

I really like the atmosphere that the filters provide. You do get used to it after a while.

Also, you should switch the PR for a needler in the ATLAS version, and don't forget to add AR ammo.

Great map.
