The map started out as a tribute to narrows due to the bases in tempest reminding me of it. I'm looking for feedback and perhaps some people to playtest it with so I can make it better. Currently it only supports slayer and team slayer, but later versions will support most gametypes. I'm looking for some real criticism here, if you don't like how it feels please tell me so. What would your ideas for weapon placements be? Always open to suggestion. Anyways here's some pics and cheers for taking a look. [br][/br]Edited by merge: weird. I choose a picture for the tile but it's not showing up...
Wow, this map looks pretty impressive, especially because this is the first GOOD map i have seen on the map pack, and as weapons go, go by your gut, in my opinion, never put a power weapon near a spawn, because one lucky -BLAM- would get an advantage. Once again, good job!
I've been playing halo for years so I'm hoping that shows with the weapon placements, rockets in the middle of the thin bridge. Risk and reward
My first thought upon seeing "Dire Straights" as the name was that it would be some tribute to the map from Starcraft. lol. Looks a bit toooo-narrow, pun intended. Not sure how this may play, but I'm taking a spin around it in forge. The change of scenery alone is enough to grab my DL.
yup, and maybe some dmrs or needle rifles, and other decent weapons scattered across the map, and that would probably be good
Yeap 4 needle rifles and alot more DMRs. There's a nice varied mix on offer . Originally there was a hammer floating up in the middle of the mancannon crossroads but I couldn't work out how to make it float and allow people to pass through it so I had to take it out. [br][/br]Edited by merge: Heh It was important to me that I got this map playable on tempest because I knew people would be hungry for the scenery change. I managed to come up with this after 2 marathon forge sessions. It may be narrow but there's alot of ways to get from one side to the other. I always try to have atleast 3 different ways of getting to somewhere on the map.
I'll be forging on this tonight for a few hours. Please feel free to join me so I can playtest this thing. Feel free to add my gamertag and drop in. Also thanks for the downloads so far.
Just played around on it in Forge... Love it. Would like to get a 4v4 on it sometime. If you're on tonight I'd be down to play.
