whats important to me when i play a remake is how it feels. to me, the gameplay in this map felt exactly like Construct, and thats a huge plus. aesthetically, the map is on point as well. true, its unfortunate that theres some minor framerate lag at the sword spawn, when looking at the entire map, but i personally did not find it to be gamebreaking, and it definitely doesnt make the map "unplayable" as some have said. great job Skisma, looking forward to the next map as well!
I haven't been able to play it yet, but it looks to be extremely faithful to the original. A lot of people, myself included, liked Construct, so this is great. Nice job.
First, amazing remake. I love it. Only issues: -Known framerate minor problem. Can't be helped. -Fusion coils on the bottom floor. That was always a big part of the map for me, sending those up the grav lift. When I went into forge, there was enough money for explosives. Now I didn't actually try the fusion coils, but I did successfully send up a plasma battery without it exploding. Just some food for thought.
I tested it out with you and gunnergrunt 1 or 2 games, after, I saved it and delete my other construct remake because this is not a remake, this is construct in halo reach! I've got an idea for the gold lift that can put better fluidity, you can add me if you want; IISharpFoxII. However, Great job.
This map is forged beautifully but i coulnt get a game in on it because of the frame rate issues. Maybe im just picky....but i really hate bad screen lag...by the way, please understad i am not saying there is something you could do..its simply the limits of the engine. The forging is excellent though
I am really picky about my remakes, and I'm really happy to see the care you put into this map. If someone is going to rebuild something that was so loved, then they should show love to the design. I have played other remakes that occasionally will feel just as much like construct gameplay-wise, but this map is Construct. Everything about it screams little details. All the jumps and proportions are identical. I know you had some major problems with the screenlag, and it does get a tad annoying, but I sincerely don't think it's not playable. Another thing you really paid attention to is the way people tactically used man-cannon grenades. Every other remake covers those with one-way shields so the you can't grenade. The lift system isn't the best of the ones I've seen, so the map has room for improvement, but they are little things. It's unfortunate that you can't stop the screen lag, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the map and I look forward to seeing more creations from you. Hopefully you'll revisit some other loved past creations.
Thanks a lot of all of the support and overall good responses guys! This map was one of the most fun and frustrating to make, but in the end it came out quite satisfying. I hope you guys continue to enjoy it and look forward to my future creations. It's a shame that you didn't even give it a shot. I understand that you may not like screen lag, no one does, but I still think you should run a game of FFA Headhunter or TS and see how it goes. Haha thanks a lot Sharpfox. Comments like these are what make my skin tingle...wait what, never mind. In all seriousness, comments like these are what motivate me to continue doing what I love.
I always loved Construct, even on the most obscur of gametypes. You have done us a great service with this remake. You have made me a very happy man. Cheers.
your problem may be that you have loaded it up in forge... the frame rate in forge is usually considerably worse than in a normal game, this extra lag is also often accompanied by items flashing in a similar way to that which you described. load it up on a custom game if you haven't already and see if that fixes your problem...
What a great little find, I am glad I found this map. It is the most accurate remake I have seen so far. The pictures and comparison to areas on construct are amazing . Great work. An asset to my downloads
WHY am I only seeing this for the first time? I think I'm in love. I love how you recreated all off those ledges and jumps, and I didn't expect the man cannons to work as well as they do. You sir, deserve a pat on the back.
I loved Construct. Everything from the easy movement around the map to the way that the lifts changed flow. This remake is the best thing i have ever seen. The framerate everywhere is completely OK, the map flow is exactly the same. It IS how remakes should be done. I would look forward to other remakes from you. P.S. It works great for SWAT too.
Wow people are still posting on this? lol I thought the thread died like last year. Anyways, thanks for the comments guys. I actually re-remade this map on Tempest in hopes of less lag. It is significantly less, but still not enough to release it. One day if I can get someone to who knows what they're doing to try and rid it for me, I'll finally let you guys download it
The framerate is completely fine. I played a game of FFA SWAT on this map and i can report absolutely no problems. If i'm the only one with no problem then i can tell you three things that cause framerate lag. Lights, Glass and Reflective objects. All three together is apocalyptic!
Fix your frame-rate, bro. Well, that's all the feedback I have for now. It's a shame that I still cannot find any Construct remakes that don't suffer from frame-rate problems. Just one inspiration (MLG Astro), and it was decent, but it was no Construct, that's for sure. If you can fix the frame-rate problems without having to make any major sacrifices to gameplay, this map is perfect. Until then, it will unfortunately remain in a barely playable state. I liked everything about this map other than the frame-rate problems, but that posed too much of a problem for me to leave this in my HDD.
Yea I know what you mean. I actually made a v2 on Tempest that has significantly less lag. I haven't released it yet though because I'm hoping that I can completely rid of it. I don't know though, Constructs layout and size makes it almost impossible.
OMG i forgot about this map , how could i forget one of mmy most faved maps in H3 ^^ u son have done an amazing thing here
