Grifwater V2. i redid all of the walls, to make it look what i think is 100% better. readjusted the roof and added in a floating center piece. This is a very fun map, my friends real life and online love it. This is Grifwater, As i started my 1st Forge map, i decided that it was going to be a Grifball map, But i wanted mine to be better than the ones inside the coliseum. So i so i thought "i know ill put it in some F**king water". thus the 1st halo reach Grifball court in water was born. The court is In the Water slightly off the Island in Forge World. The water is shallow enough that your vision never gets blocked, so nothing to worry about on that. The roof is high enough so you can not get out, and if you do find a way out. the killzone will find a way to put you back in. Overview of Grifwater the structure in the middle is not acessable, just there for looks. Inside of Grifwater. Note new walls. 2nd shot inside Grifwater. Get some epic kills (in water!) Goal, (You do NOT have to jump to get in. just walk under it if you want. or slam dunk it for extra awesomeness points. Please comment and enjoy. and whatever to people that dont like it (smiley face)
Enough Grifwater!! Lol No In all seriousness this looks badass in the water like this, and the ceiling, wow. Nice planning on the ceiling. You know what would be even more awesome is if one side had a waterfall, like place the arena so it looks like the water is flowing from the back wall, maybe in a later version?
This looks very nice indeed. There isn't much one can say about Grifball maps, as they are nigh upon impossible to screw up. The only suggestion I have is an aesthetic issue. You could allow a view out to the sides, utilizing windowish wall thingamabobs. That to me is a value in Forgeworld of the impressive views available.
In the future, please do not post 2 separate threads for a v2 of a map. Unless there is significant differences between the two. Simply edit the original post of the V1. I will lock the V1 and add a link in that thread to this one.
I think it looks great but like the above poster said it needs to have a view. It's too bad you can't actually use the waterfalls since they are out of bounds. I also think it's pretty funny how people claim this is "unoriginal". Of course the idea to build a Grifball court in water has always been around since the beginning of forge and was actually done before by our map creator runNOKYARDrun who designs maps for the AGLA league. If you're going to complain about the creator being "unoriginal" then just stop. If you want to see originality the last thing you should be looking at is a Grifball map in my opinion. The open ceilings are definitely not an issue. We have several very experienced league members tweaking the AGLA gametype and so far launching seems to be fairly difficult. Even old tricks like the flowers, zero grav, and even simple hammer jumping are drastically changed from Halo 3. The only problem I could see with this map is if it's actually built to scale or not. That's not important though since it's just a fun map that offers a new way to play grifball. 10/10
=) Thank you! i was going to ask you to lock or remove that one =) you beat me toit! hugs and kisses Also ya i wanted to use the waterfalls but they are out of bounds and they fade away when you go through them... it woulda been sweet to add though
V2 kicks butt..amazing map very fun to play!!!!...commenting about a grifball court not having a view? wtf is that about? your not there to sight see your there to play grifball.....stop being so nit picky it just shows how much of a life you don't have. thanks.
Great map!! If you wanted to, perhaps make a V3 with spectator seating, for other teams, perhaps using windows, or 1-way shields.
