    [FONT=Verdana, Arial] DUST [/FONT]

    Author: Dirt Jockey
    Download: Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details
    Players: 2-16
    Recommended Gametype:Slayer, King of the Hill

    Dust was inspired by Modern Warfare 2 map "Rust". I wanted to bring it to Halo as fluently as possible. I ran into troubles with Boundaries and Unplayable areas in the original, so I had to improvise and add my own touch to the rebirth of this epic map.

    Features:
    -Teleport Receiver replicates Green Flare Marker
    -Ladder replaced with Mancannon
    -Aesthetic Pickup Truck is now Destroyable
    -@ 45 seconds an "Emergency Air Drop" lands a Hornet on the center platform.
    -@ 2 Minutes the "Oil Tanker" catches fire and explodes debris.

    Weapons: 2 Missile Pods, 3x Dual Smgs (To replicate Akimbo Weapons), 4 Battle Rifles, 2 Sniper Rifles, 1 Assault Rifle, 2 Magnums, 1 Shotgun, 1 Flamethrower and 1 Turret

    Vehicles: 1 Hornet

    Equipment: Multiple Frag and Plasma Grenades (To replicate Frag & Sentex grenades), 2 Flares (To replicate Flashbang Grenades)

    This looks pretty good! I love that you adapted it to Halo 3 instead of remaking it completely, that probably is why I just downloaded it :)

    why would u make a map that nobody likes in mw2 on halo? its beyond me.
    the kill ball is like a permanent explosion theres no border to keep people in. theres a hornet which seems accurate to rsut on cod cuz of spawn killing so good job there. u got the tower but are missing the vents n stuff.

    PRETTY INACCURATE ASWELL

    If you noticed he said "inspired" not complete remake.

    I think the car was very creative, I have never seen any one else make their own destroyable aesthetics before. Next time take more screen shots of all the structures like the Oil Rig because all the screen shots focus on the center structure not the other ones but it does make people want to check out the map and see more. I might have a quick play through the map and comment more if i can somehow get off MW2 for once.

    Rust was and still is one of my least favorite maps. But you brought it to one of my most favorite games and made it awesome! 4.5/5

    I like it i just can see myself running out into the desert sniping ppl. I like it and i do see a resemblance. I really like the idea + design of the map. I was gonna make a rust remake but now i guess i'm onto scrapyard. Cool stuff man. 8/10

    I like the car. And overall very accurate remake of rust....but seeing as it is COD it is almost impossible to recreate it in halo

    Great job on that oil tanker, I can't get over those aesthetics. The only thing that turns me off is that it's like a permanent explosion. You should try to ghost-merge (Yes, it's possible) the killball into the ground so it looks more like a fire, and not a never-ending explosion.

    I actually did ghost merge the kill ball into the ground, that is as far as it would let me put it. I totally wanted a smoldering fire, but i had to work with what i had.
