Remake Backwash

Not sure if this qualifies as a legitimate post. I guess so since you have a pic, Dl link, and a description; but your description is more of an explanation. I'm downloading because I loved Backwash and this seems to be the only one. Plus it looks pretty accurate due to the fact that you can't alter the terrain.

 

YES! Finally a remake of this map.

 

All we need now is Waterworks! And Example, District and Uplift.

 

Yess thanks for this you should make more remakes cause this one plays really similarly. Bravo.

 

Haha, I downloaded this when I wanted to remake backwash, being I didn't remember the center structure that well. I thought you did a good job at accuracy but hindered on materials available to you. IE: no trees .

 

I was always the loner in my group of friends... Loved Backwash

 

Finally got around to doing a walk through of this map. Seeing as this is the only backwash remake I have seen(at least on these forums), I thought it was pretty good. It could use some improvements, but it did capture the mood of the original backwash very nicely.

First of all, horrible frame rate lag looking at the center structure. (Mind you, I'm looking at it by myself in a custom game, I couldn't imagine how it actually plays with many people). Its a shame, because the center structure is by far the most accurate feature of the map to the original.

Second, the starting bases are too shallow. I remember in the original backwash the starting bases had some depth to them.

I could swear there was a rocket launcher in the original backwash opposite from the sword downed "tree".

Also, this might just be aesthetic nit picking but I thought the flood theme of backwash was important. There was one rocky outcropping that acted as an overhang in the original backwash that had glowy "flood spores" on it. I think you could get the same effect with a tin cup merged into the rock all the way until the green just barely pokes out of the rock.

Anyway, I thought the map looked pretty good, and keep the good forging coming.

 

ha that would be pretty impressive, but the remakes so far are very good, really like this one not to bothered about the compromises just hoping it will get into mm some how, maybe a 'remakes' playlist, if there was one this would be be in there good job.

 

Moved from Casual to Competitive.

 

Well it resembles Backwash slightly... but thats probably the only positive thing I've got to say about it, so enjoy that.

I'm going to put aside the fact that its a Backwash remake and just say; it vaguely resembles Backwash but falls far short of what I'd expect given what we can do in Reach's Forge.

Now, as a map.
Spawn points. Where are they? Go look at how many spawn points Bungie has placed on their maps and where they've placed them. There's a lot, isn't there?
If you play a game on this map you'll find everyone will spawn in very predictable locations and spawn camping is going to be so easy.
I don't intentionally spawn camp, but I will do when there are very few points and they're badly placed, just to rub the Forger's face in the fact that they need fixing.

And the starting points? Seriously? 16 for each team?

Generally, it sort of looks like you went in to it blind. Well, not blind, I mean you were copying an existing map but its clear you didn't plan it out well at all.

 

Ok you win for most obscure remake. I really liked this map and remember that most people didnt like it much. The filter adds just enough gloominess to make it still playable. Great job, my customs group really liked it.

WHERE EAGLES DARE

 

You know, i was one of those rare people who loved nothing more than sneaking around this map with active camo. I honestly totally forgot it existed until i saw this remake, nice choice, a map we havent really seen yet that's just the right scale to remake in reach. I should thank you for reminding me.

DLing now

edit:
well, there's a bit of screen lag when looking at the center structure but look and feel-wise it's definitely close aside from being outside. One of the few maps where FX totally fit perfectly. Haven't played on it, but maybe i'll give it a go next time im in a customs party.

 

I've downloaded and had a decent walkthrough of the map. At the same time I had a video of the original Backwash playing. Comparing the two, apart from improved graphics and forge world's restricted structures, the terrain, scenery and the visual effects of your remake are surprisingly accurate. I like how you replaced the focus rifle for the sentinel beam.

However, there are a few questions I need to ask regarding your map. Where are the spawns? If I'm not mistaken there were a lot more spawn points in Halo 2's version... Another thing, there is a rocket launcher in the original and what are the spikers replacing?

 

I loved backwash in halo 2.

the map looks pretty good, although open. the fx fits this map perfectly and almost makes it feel like its not really that open at all.

From what i noticed off the bat, when i spawned outside of the map, was that the spawn points needed to be fixed, but i understand that you left that alone so thats kool and i already fixed that.

the map itself though looks really accurate, but kinda laggy in the center. I dont know if theres a way around that, i havent really checked that out in forge, only to place spawns for slayer.

If you need people to help test your map, me and my friend would love to test it out with you.
