    Okay guys ! So first, forgive me for my bad english, that's not everyday I write or speak other languages that french, so I'm sorry if I kill english language ='/

    So, Narrows ! Halo 3's Multiplayer Map, 2 to 8 players recommanded. I suppose you all know this map.

    Just 4 blocks are missing, and SMG too, so I just change SMG into Plasma rifle and Plasma rifle into Plasma Repeater. Brute Shot disappear, so Concussion Rifle comes into this "new" map.

    Well, I think I'll make no mistake if I post you pix ! =')

    To you :

    [​IMG]
    Concussion Rifle + Medic spawn

    Thank for reading ! I hope this map enjoy you ! Soon I want to create : Chiron TL34, Chill Out, Foundation, Guardian and maybe others !

    This is a really good remake!

    Other remakes have been made of Narrows, but this appears to be one of the best for sure. I really like how top-mid looks exactly how it did in Halo 3. Heck, the entire bridge portion looks really nice. The only minor flaw I see is that it looks like the bases are a little more open than in Halo 3, but that's a very small discrepancy (it might even just be the angle of the picture). Overall no worries this is a fantastic map! Also, while you're English isn't perfect, it is definitely understandable; good job there :)

    And finally, the download link doesn't seem to work correctly. You should try to fix that.

    Good first post and I hope to see more high-quality maps like this from you in the future!

    Played a few games on this. Not only is it the most accurate remake of narrows, but I'd say its one of the most accurate remakes of any map. Spawns and objectives seem spot on too.

    Just one thing you need to add in my opinion: The lower bridge is too easy to fall off. the original had a small ledge around it. If you add railings it would be 100% accurate.

    Withholding rating. Currently a 4, but adding the railings would boost it to 5.

    Very nice remake! I mean I've download a few remakes of narrows and either the weapon are not in the right place or the rooms are too wide or they are missing the sniping ledges, you get my point. This is an awesome remake and I encourage other to try it out.

    This map looks really nice...

    ...I made a Narrows remake,but opted to make the scale much bigger to accommodate vehicles...but this looks totally perfect scale to the original...nice work!

    Thank guys, you really encourage me to continue ! =)

    Exsavior, the health stations have been placed in strategical points, I searched a long time where I could place its on the map. (hope I didn't make any mistakes x_x)

    Gazzaverage, I haven't other railings to place in this map ='/ So you could see that the little inferior bridge is larger than on Halo 3's map. I think this is a good medium to have the same equality (hope again I didn't make mistakes =') )

    Thank you so much !

    I downloaded a remake of Narrows the other day and it was okay, but not good. This blows it out of the water. Excellent job!

    Yes it is but in custom game, not in Matchmaking, and the Shotgun has been deleted of the map, like all Halo 3's bonus (bubble shield, overshield...)

    Thanks for comment, guys, I prepare a map Pack and I hope I will give it you in a few days ! (Not more than 4 weeks)

    A map called Mad World, another Omicron Site and at least Battlefront. Mad World will allow you to make all games types except Invasion and Stockpile, and the others are made exclusively to Invasion (but Battlefront implent Assault, CTF and Territories too).

    I hope that future maps will enjoy you and I hope I don't destroy english language ! =')

    Thank you for all your comments !

    Do you have to type like a retard?
    S0rry, D0 y0u have t0 type like a retard.

    Anyway, I love the map, if you ran out of railings, try using some thing else as a substitute.

    Are you really thinking this part of the bridge must have some railings ? =o

    Because I make it larger than Halo 3's Narrows, not much larger but enough to don't see your Spartan make an epic fail, I think.

    If a lot a people ask for me to put this railings, I'll update my map and fix that.

    This map is pretty solid, the man cannons cause damage to your shield and there are some rough edges on the upper level of the bridge. Aesthetics are great as well. The support beams look realistic (like they are actually supporting weight) and everything seems pretty much bang on scale. One thing I noticed was a problem when jetpacking. If you jetpack out of the mancannon, you can access an attic area above the base that gives players a pretty unfair advantage. Maybe a soft kill zone to make that area off limits would help, but honestly, I would consider removing the entire roof structure, because the map suffers pretty badly from framerate issues. Great job. Obviously you spent a lot of time on this and it shows.

    Really ? People can stay on the "attic" ? That's strange... I put a soft kill area in this "attic" =o

    I'll fix all these problem soon and try to give you new version of the map this sunday. Thanks for your analyze !
