With the new forge and its enormous budget I decided to remake my favorite halo 1 map Prisoner. I originally thought this medium sized map would be easily completed within the budget. I was sadly mistaken. Throughout the whole process I have been constantly cutting down on objects to make the map fit into the budget. Its about 75% complete and Ive got just over 2000 left in the budget but I think its still doable but its going to take alot of effort. I feel like this has become a task to big and hard and right now I really need some constructive criticism to keep me going. So yeah just tell me what you think The original map incase you've forgotten:
Looks pretty good from what I can see. I loved this map. I would create the basic shapes first and worry about the small details last (like the angled pieces along the bottom edges of the walls.
I think it looks pretty sick. Keep it up, the finished product will be awesome. Especially with jetpacks and new gametypes... Twist on a classic.
Looks great thus far! It's amazing just how awesome the forerunner architecture makes everything look.
Thx guys really hope I can finish this on budget. Im now around 85% complete with just over 1000 budget left. Wish me luck
We're praying for you man Now If my copy of reach would just fall into my hands... Not gonna have it until FRIDAY!
Fantastic job BraveDave. I'm loving the amount of detail you've got in there and I hope you can get it finished before you're budget runs dry. I started a prisoner remake a couple of days ago but decided that I would cut down on the detail to save on the budget. It'll be interesting to compare the two. Just one question. The original map had ladders. How did you get around that?
Hmmm... hopefully this plays better than a Prisoner remake I was playing yesterday. It did NOT work well for 4v4. Unless this is expanded more than the map I played on or you're planning on this playing mainly doubles, I don't see why it would play better. Hopefully you'll be able to prove me wrong.
^^ I know what you mean, I can defiantly see prisoner failing at 4v4's mainly because of the crappy bases. I was thinking After I finish this map altering the bases a bit and maybe taking out one of the 4 levels to provide for the budget, but yeah I building this map mainly with FFA and 2v2 in mind. EDIT: Can you plz send me link to the prisoner map? I would really like to try it out I wish at the start I would have thought about cutting the detail down but its too late to turn back now Good luck with yours and also for the ladders I still haven't decided but grav lifts and one-way shield doors both work fine. I will most likely be putting some more pictures of the map up today so keep posted
I'm not sure if he's ready to give it out to anyone but people that have helped him test, so contact Atticus (the guy who made it) and ask him for it. It's not my map to give out.
Dude you can complete it. And don't worry about making a ceiling, it can do without one. Remember that the kill barriers can be made. Good luck and take your time!
I used to love to play 16 player free for all rockets on Prison (I know, chaos and no real skill required but it was crazy fun). If this map is done or if you need any help building or testing let me know, I'd be more than willing to help out. Can I get a copy of this some where?
i just want to let you know i registered just now to tell you that it looks amazing and add me gt: sKunk pep or xbc: sKunk_pep to play that map, prisoner is in my top 3 maps of all time and ive been looking to play on it for a loooonngggg time. please friend me this map looks siick
