Here is my first map that I have completed so far. I was a big Goldeneye 007 fan when the game first came out and I always enjoyed playing in the Library, so I thought I would do my best to recreate it the best I could for Reach. This is the entire Library level complete with the upstairs (stack) and the basement. I have added the venting (or holes) in the floor where you could shoot through in the original level. This map is very accurate in terms of proportion. The only thing that needs to be done would be to include all of the game types into it. I am not too sure how to do this, so I might need someone to help me out. Hopefully there is some interest in this map because it took me a long time to finish and I am confident that it is an excellent remake. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, Goldeneye was a video game for the N64 way back when. I remember this map well, and it seems like you did a nice job remaking it. 8/10
Wow that comment makes me feel old. I remember Goldeneye on my N64 VERY well. Anyways how do the shields work?
YES! I once tried to remake this level in halo 3 forge but gave up. This was my favorite golden eye level. Dl'd and playing with my friends for sure! Good work.
Well, the shield doors represent the glass that was in the original level. You can walk through them like normal. Or do you mean the shields on the players? I included overshields on the map in place of the body armor. Maybe health packs would be better. I think it would be fun playing SWAT in this level as well as KOTH and CTF. I need to set the level up for that yet unless someone is willing to help out. And thanks for the positive feedback guys! Hope everyone enjoys it! Any suggestions are welcome.
Nah I mean the shields that represent the glass. I know this is a tricky one to handle since Goldeneye had glass that was breakable but I would almost go with normal glass windows if you can work that kind of wall in there.
Man, this looks awesome. I was gonna leave "Win" as a single-word reply and that would describe my thoughts about this map perfectly. If I don't see one soon, I'm gonna remake servenya bunker in Forge. I remade it in Timesplitters and was working on a remake in FC2 when I got Reach. Goldeneye deserves excellent remakes because the game was awesome. Also, at the guy who didn't know Goldeeye is a game... you're missing out big time. Goldeneye pretty much invented split screen and FPS gaming on consoles. Not only is it the best movie-based-game ever, but it's one of the best games perioud.
Well, from previous gameplay in Goldeneye, after you break the glass in the library you were able to walk straight through it. That is kind of what I wanted with my remake too. Usually it was shot down as soon as the first person went by it anyway. However, if I go with actual glass I don't know if I would be able to be as precise with it. There is a problem with overlap as well in some areas too. Maybe I could use the glass window as well as the glass cover to do it. I'll see what I can do. But I still think the shield doors were the way to go. If anyone wants to play any custom games just add me or send me a pm. @Negrumir: I know that the bunker and the facility have been redone. I have seen a nice bunker where you can actually go outside too. I have seen a couple remakes of the upstairs of the library, but they were not very accurate. Also, I think that more Goldeneye levels need to be remade since it was one of the best games on the N64. Maybe the entire facility including the back part or maybe just the back part of it?
I've played a few remakes of golden eye maps, and while they're well made and accurate, they don't translate very well to Halo game play.
