This is my first attempt at a custom map in the new forge. Spawn points are saved for Headhunter, Headhunter Pro, all slayer types, and the funnest CTF. Just load the map and choose the the game type in reach. And by all means enjoy. Thanks everyone for your input, hope you enjoy.
Not only does this not look anything like Scrapyard from MW2, but It look way way too open to be able to really be too playable. Also one picture doesn't do any justice, or is that just all of the map?
Cool. There's two pictures don't know why your not seeing them. And there is no such thing as two open in halo reach. We now have jet packs, and sprint. By the way can you help me to post a thumbnail pic. Can't get it to work. Sorry just joined this site today.
sorry the map doesnt look alot like scrapyard, theres nothing in the middle except that one little base. Even with jetpack and sprint its still to open to, go refine than come back. but anyway depending on how your getting pics in you would want to put a direct link of the pic in the thumbnail part of your post
Thanks for the information. I guess I need to change the title as well lol. But I was inspired by scrapyard.
Thanks, I took your advice. But it really is a fun little map. Me and 5 others played it Friday on CTF. We logged about 4 hours on it, and everyone enjoyed it. Just hope I didn't hurt my rep here, this being the first day and all lol. What i did was Downloaded a overhead layout of scrapyard. Added a couple of different things, but left it open so the warthog was fun to use. Sorry guys if the tittle was a let down, but I hope a few at least try the map with some friends. That's why I built it in the first place. If you guys like it, I have a few more in the works.
I don't really care if it looks like Scrapyard or not, but there is CERTAINLY something as too open in Halo:Reach. When you've got turrets, lasers, and snipers on a level, you've got to be really careful what you do with your geometry. Just from one look at your level I know I would never once leave the outside edge...there's just not enough incentive to outweigh the suicidal idea. When there's a turret trained on you, or a laser warming up, sprinting, jetpacking, or crawling across what is essentially a football field is simply asking for death. People on ForgeHub offer sound advice because they play Halo a ton and because they Forge themselves. Of course you're free to your own opinion, but if the masses doesn't like your map, your opinion doesn't get you far. If you're worried about remaining true to the source material, consider an "inspired by" rather than "remake." Then you can add some interesting cover (rocks, roadblocks, aesthetic geometry, etc.) that makes the map more playable and, more importantly, fun.
Lance thanks for the great advice. I know what you’re saying about the middle portion of the map. Suicidal lol, but I really thought that through. If you look (maybe I need to add another screenshot closer to the middle) on top of the bunker there is two-two way portals that warp you right behind the turrets on either base, depending on the color above the portals. And trust me there's some goodies inside that middle bunker that outweigh the risk of exposure. And if you’re playing CTF on this map, someone will have to risk it when you need heavy firepower. I do understand I had this named improperly, but I really wish a few would try it and give me some feedback. I don't care a bit to refine; actually one of my favorite things to do is tweak to perfection. But that being said, this was a fun map for me and my friends.Thought I would take the time and reach out to others. Maybe someone else would enjoy it as well. Thanks for the advice. Really looking forward to your suggestions.
This map looks great to me, its a very unique map because its CTF and like a mini game in my mind. I dont own Reach yet, but after playing the beta i knew that people were definately going to be making maps based off the jet packs. Now you say that this is fun if people are using jet packs, but if people arent they would surely get killed by the people in the middle hoarding the turrets. My solution to this problem would be to make platforms in above the arena that have ramps leading up to them, that way there are ways around the mass killing station in the center. But as i looked a bit more at the map, i realized that it was similar to Valhalla in more than just a few ways, there are vehicles, a large open area in the middle, a spot in the center of the map where teams can fight for the advantage, and side tunnels and cover. If you have ever played on Valhalla, you would know that the vehicles make the map. And also that no player ever wants to just walk across a big map and take the flag and walk back without a vehicle. So in regards to this make being like Valhalla, i would recommend lowering the respawn time on the vehicles and possibly adding flying vehicles to change the level of action to being not just land based but arial as well. i hope you take these comments to thought, i see a fun capture the flag map in your future
Thank you so much for actually taking the time and giving your suggestions. I will lower the respawn on the trucks, but I would recommend anyone playing this to leave the Revenant alone. I can't stress this enough. That thing is a beast on this map, and so hard to disable. After you kill it you don't want it to respawn right away. I have it on 2 mins, but to each his own. I will add flying vehicles as well per your request. Let me know how you like the change bud. Thanks again.
