New edited version: Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details Changes made: island by red base is more natural, more smaller rock islands to make open areas(mainly near red base->middle) less open, no more falcon on the blue base even though there were not supposed to be air vehicle usage, cliff side is all rock now, rock tower thats part of the red base is now an actual structure- not really usable other than cover original post: ok so heres the first legit map I've made on Forge World. when i first started building this map, the first thing i wanted to do was to make a base that hung off the side of a wall... thus the blue base was formed. I also have seen many many maps with people putting a satellite in it just because they can. So, i made the map centered around the matter of "gaining control of the satellites, which means fight. The Map is part of Montana Island, the big plateau next to hermorage and the ocean. This means that for a big team map, you gotta watch where you go. Things to know: Each base has a Warthog, Mongoose, and ghost. Power Weapons are located in the middle and on islands near bases You will die if you go into Hemorrhage From the other side of the plateau, you can see a pathway from the blue base to the middle of the map. The pathway has a purpose explained further down The Blue Base: since the rock right in front of it are higher than the base, i put the pathways along the sides to make sure that the red team would not camp the entrance of the base. Make sure that the game modes have air vehicles unusable, because the falcon is only there for show The Red Base: This base has the higher ground but is also much smaller and with less cover. It evens out with the blue bases low ground high cover. From the back From the side, i made that island there so that the area in front of the base wasn't so 2D. more pictures: Whole map from blue base: Whole map from red Base: I do have a bit of budget left and i would love to hear back from anyone about what they thought, good or bad.
This map looks pretty cool and I like how you balanced the bases with size and cover, overall it is a really cool map Added after 2 Hours 29 minutes: This map looks pretty cool and I like how you balanced the bases with size and cover, overall it is a really good looking map
I think you need to work on making the tin cups and rocks look more natural. For example, a rock doesn't stick straight up in the air at a 90 degree angle. Add another rock to it, and make them not so straight angle oriented. I personally would just lose the tin cups because I'm not seeing a way to make them look more natural the way you used them here. But that's your call since its your map lol! Its not like there's a rule that it must be perfect by my standards lol. I like your satellites and the way you placed them on the map. The bases are designed at least in an interesting way, although I don't know how they will play, but I tend to think from the looks of them they will play well. However, I'm not a fan of having a Falcon that is where it can be reached, but only there for looks. If your map gets many downloads, and some group downloads it and plays it that you are not with, they will not disable vehicles, and someone will be flying around in the Falcon. The other team will have a disadvantage, and dislike your map thinking you intended for the other team to be dominating with a Falcon, and I know thats not what you want lol. At least thats always my thinking about my maps. I always try to make my maps work no matter what some person comes up with to play on them, because I love for people to download my maps, and so I want them to have a blast playing on them. It would be horrifying to me if someone downloaded one of my maps, and tried to play something on it, only to find it doesn't work on my map lol! But you may feel differently than I do, so don't take what I'm saying as meaning I'm right and you're wrong because its your map, so make it how you want to lol! Overall, I give this a 7 out of 10.
the main thing that i tried to succeed by making that tin cup island by the red base was to make the area not as open which would give the red team to much of an advantage in defending there base i do see what you are saying and will start editing right away
