    Since anyone who cared to open this is probably wondering what I'm talking about I'm working with some people for Machinima but whatever in the second scene the team goes to a forerunner structure. I have only played Reach and a bit of Halo 3 with friends. I have no idea how to make a forerunner-ish building and could use some help.

    Unsc=squares
    Covenant=curves
    Forerunner=triangles

    Forerunner structures are all about slopes and angles. No curves or right angles.

    Thanks I never realised that but you're right the structures are based on one specific style. Also if my friend lets me I'll probably post it here when we're done with it but don't expect anything amazing.

    Exactly. Also, the forerunner structures we see in Halo tend to be powerplants and more than often times a weapon or defense system. So even a forerunner jammer-tower. Just what comes to mind when I think of that.

    This is what he wrote: "I need a Forerunner like structure that looks like it's holding something with a few covenant vehicles beside it." So I'll go for a weapon system and scrap my little pyramid drawing.

    You are correct about the angles but not triangles. Also forerunner structures are usually massive.

    Okay I have finished the map. To make it bigger we out it in the middle of the ocean and surrounded it with coliseum windows for a better forerunner effect. Also since he wanted covenant vehicles we added a dock and made it so you can drive them along the water for fun. It also includes a weapon system and whatever else my anonymous fiend added. Once I get screen shots I'll make the map preview.
