Update 10/25/2010 Release newer version of map. Toned down rockets by removing spare clips. Please download at Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details Here is my first forge map, built for fun at first but then Forgetacular came along. If you decide to download it, I hope you enjoy it. Please leave any feedback so I can improve. Thanks! Map Name: Nemesis Compatible with the following game types: Assault, CTF, Head Hunter, Infection, Juggernaut, King of the Hill, Oddball, Slayer variants, Stockpile and Territories. Here is a quick play test of the map with friends. [bungievid]7625215[/bungievid] Just a quick pic of me playtesting the map for navigation. This is the rear jump pad exit room. This is a side platform where the Red team spawns. Mirrored setup on the other side. Main Atrium located at the center of the map. This area is the spawn for the Energy Sword as well as many game type objectives. Rear man cannon at the back of the map. This cannon will propel you up through the middle atrium to the other end of the map. This is the launch pad platform at the front of the map. Man cannons will direct you to either side of the map.
Hey, you need some pictures on this post! Sorry, but it's in the rules, and you need to try and get some pictures posted ASAP!
Well.... shoot. Sorry but I'm actually more of a noob than you are. My xbox can't connect to live so I have never posted here. I know that Forge Hub has a tutorial somewhere on their sight, but otherwise I'm afraid I can't help you. Hopefully a moderator will find this thread and post a link to it. Once again, sorry I can't help! [br][/br]Edited by merge: Wheww... dang! This map is sick! I love the shot with the man cannon going between the struts! Unfortunately, you still won't get away with just links to the pictures. You need to embed them into your thread so that they can be viewed from this page. Sorry I'm still no help with this, but I am sure that if this goes into the contest it will make it into matchmaking! Great work!... just get those images in!
Hey thanks for the kind words. I really hope this map is worthy of a little new xbox 360. Still having difficulty figuring out how to embed images. Working on it though. Boom, images are in.
The map is really nice I like the feel and the aesthetics but it seems lopsided. I mean the room with the deployable covers in it has rockets, 2 shottys, and a sniper in it. This could seem very unfair for one team if they control all the weapons. Thoughts??????
Glad to see you got this working! Once again, nice map! Keep inspiring us to make great maps, I have serious forger's block right now after making two maps in a row.
I can see what you mean. I have moved some weapons around on the map to balance it out. Please re-download and let me know what you think. I moved the RL from the front area to the rear jump room. The concussion rifle is now on the upper platform of the front room, and the plasma pistol now resides where the RL was. I have updated the download link for easy re-download.
Best looking custom map yet! I've have to reload it and check the rebalanced weapons, but this map is beautiful. I hope it plays well.
This looks just like a map from Metroid for Gamecube, but I can't remember the name. Its amazing, with no flaws I can see. 5 epic stars.
Link to download has changed again. Please update your download. My last upload did not take for some reason and the weapon re-balance was not showing up. Sorry, and thank you. [br][/br]Edited by merge: I am still looking for people to help me test this map in an 8 player setting. I have only had 4 people in it at a time so far. Really curious to see what feedback is like after a full 8 player team slayer game. Please hit me up on xbox live GT: Tolsarion. Or in this thread as I will be checking it frequently. Thank you in advance to all that can help. A big thank you to "his alter ego" for giving a nice 1v1 playthrough last night. [br][/br]Edited by merge: Thank you very much. I was going for something that would look nice but play well at the same time. I'm pleased that you like the map. Have you had a chance to play it yet?
I haven't yet tried this map with my friends, but after walking around the level solo to see what it's like, I have to say that it looks like a very good map. I like how you added a little eyecandy by putting the shield doors/one-ways in front of the walls in the centre of the map.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback! I'm really digging forge. Now that we can phase building blocks, it is not unlike the unreal editor using static meshes. I just wish we had scaling abilities, but being on a console is a bit restrictive. Wanting to add more eye candy certainly presents a good challenge making a map that is function but looks nice at the same time. I appreciate the feedback. Working on my next map now.
Que'd. Just as a side note, the covenant shields aren't the best choice for cover. I was going to use them in my map Sequence, but I ended up finding out that if the host destroys the shield, it's actually still there for all off-host players until they destroy it themselves. So in theory, the host could break it, and shoot the player from behind where it should be, and from the POV of an off-host player the shield is still on, so they cannot shoot the host but the host can shoot them. It's lame, but I'd definitely look into using something different, like the covenant crates or human barricades set to fixed.
The mancannon between the cover crelentations (spelling?) and the struts looks very interesting. I will dl and check it out.
I've downloaded this and I really like the layout and aesthetics of the map. I haven't gotten a chance to play any games on it, but ran through it in forge. From running through it in Forge, I like the placement of the initial spawns and weapon placement. Seems to be pretty balanced. Nice work.
Wow, this does look like a map from metroid, I think the name was "Solstice" mr dodgeballkid, but yeah, no flaws, indeed. perfectly forged map. 6/5
Thank you again for all your feedback! I hope this wins the forgetacular contest. I have a lot of really good competition that is making me feel pretty humble right now. If you could, please recommend the download to your friends. I don't even really care about winning the xbox in the competition, but would love to see my map in match making =D.
Great Map; It plays well, it feels balanced, there is a bit of one-sidedness, but overal amazing aesthetically and such.
