SHORELINE Hi, this is my first post on Forge hub for a halo reach map, but my second map post overall... so without further adue i present to all you eager viewers, SHORELINE; THE MAP This is a asymmetric medium sized map that is featured on the shores of the island that faces towards the colosseum. i built this for the forgetacular map making contest earlier this month and then realized i could post it hear. i originally designed it based around the central doorway built into the rock wall in the centre of the map and wanted to promote a slightly different play style, both power weapons combat each other for example the plasma launcher and ghost. WEAPONS SNIPER: 2 on the map, each with a reduced ammo count to stop spawn issues DMR: 6 on the map, CONCUSSION RIFLE: 2 on the map with two whole rounds of ammo, GRENADE LAUNCHER: 2 on the map with around 4 grenades each PLASMA REPEATER: 2 on the map PLASMA LAUNCHER: 1 on the map PLASMA GRENADES: 2 on the map FRAGMENTATION GRENADES: 4 on the map in two locations GHOST: 1 on the map MACHINE GUN TURRET: 2 on map, 1 at each base MONGOOSE: 2 on map, one at each base IMAGES RED SIDE BLUE SIDE NEUTRAL GROUND Thanks for taking your time to view my map, i have tested it with friends already during a team slayer game-type, and it worked well, hope you test it yourself and any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
For those waiting for a good BTB map, you have found your answer. This map is absolutely beautiful. You really knew where to use every part to it's full advantage. It would be nice if you could get an overhead shot so that we can see the map in its entirety. Also, do you think only 3 small vehicles, and 2 without weapons, is enough? I can't believe I'm actually suggesting adding vehicles, but maybe a warthog could be added to each side? Sorry I can't DL and playtest it, but I'm having internet problems. Great map, one of the best BTB I have seen.
After downloading this, I think the map's a great start. However, there's some things you need to fix. Firstly, fix your respawn points. At the moment you're having players spawn facing walls, which isn't very helpful to them. Have all of your spawn points pointing in the direction that you want your player to initially move. Secondly, change all Fixed and Phased weapons to normal. The Plasma Launcher position was cool, but if you switch a fixed weapon for any other weapon, the fixed weapon floats and becomes impassable. Which you don't want. Other than that, it's great for a first map. Maybe a little cluttered though, and some of the structures could use a little polishing. The bridge was very nice, though.
Great map! ive been thinking about making a map like this for a long time. I agree with matt though. The fixed weapons is cool but it just causes game play issues and id add a warthog atleast on to make things more fun. Great map.
Thanks for the advice... I agree with every opinion although, a warthog may seem a little to hectic for the map, and may be a little too big to control with ease, I will though create a v2 to fix the issues, and maybe clean up the map... Btw, my objective was based on a tream slayer map where there was only one vehicle to fight for...
I actually thought this map was much bigger when I first looked at it. I understand that a warthog would be too much, but unless the map is designed for CTF mongooses are a little underpowered. Maybe ghosts could replace the mongooses and a revenant could replace the current ghost? I don't know, I can't actually test the map, so I'm just going on intuition here. Still love the look of the map!
