Played this a while back, flag and slayer. great remake, feels just like the original. cept the hog drives better on it, smoother and flatter, love it. although its proportioned correctly if does feel bigger, i blame the textures on the grey.
This is really, really cool! It's probably even better than the original. This may be the best remake (of any map) that i have seen. Great job!!
This is a really great remake. I was really glad to see this map in Reach! Downloaded and played and it felt much like the original. Great job!
I just got done playing this map and wow! It's really good. The first remake I enjoyed more than the original. I'm pretty sure the accuracy of distance and height is a little off as the objects in the middle ground seemed all a little to close. However, I think it was for the best because the combat was consistent and smooth. Unlike Rat's Nest, there was never a point where it seemed like it was taking too long just to fight or find people. Also, the aesthetics are original and breathe new life into the map. Great job on this map. Probably should get a feature.
Updated: 23/01/11 Map Download - Rotated the large brace in the kitchen 180 degrees which allowed me to removed 1 object. - Removed all the huge glass walls which acted as a barrier. - Replaced some of the glass walls with large braces. - Made the rock area more efficient allowing the object count to be reduced. - Removed the two portal blocks around the sniper spawn. - Removed the blue neon ramps and replaced these with large braces. Images showing changes: Compared to the first version I feel this version removes all sources of framerate while also being so much more clean and polished. Thanks to all those that have supported this map getting a good amount of downloads :]
Updated: 24/01/11 So I decided to go an try something different by removing all the glass walls around the edge of the map and replacing them with collusium walls. This allowed me to make the corners like they were in Halo 3. I've also removed some long railings within each lobby as they weren't really needed. I've kept the other version in my fileshare as I'll like you guys to tell me which you prefer. Changes: Download: Here I'm stuck on which version is best :/
Loving some Rat's Nest. Great remake. I've got a 16 man LAN this weekend, this should go down a storm.
Very excited to see this map, one of my favourites from Halo 3 and you've done a very good job, sir! Me and my brother had a quick CTF game on it and we found it plays almost exactly the same as the original. Very well done, I look forward to your Relic remake as well, it's one of my all-time favourites -Twiggy
I play this map a lot and it is very true to the original. However it does have issues with both frame rate and disco flashing. If you can tolerate those things, its a spot on RN remake.
Anything Version 3 or before will have those issues. I just noticed this was stickied and updated the link in the OP. Don't download the link at the top as thats the 500BC version.
With no doubt this is extremely accurate. From the main things like craftsmanship and using appropriate objects to the setting weapons and vehicles in the right places, down to even their respawn time. I felt very nostalgic while watching the video run-through. You did an excellent job with this and the map is staying on my hard drive
Awesome job! It looks exactly the same, great aesthetics too, I love maps that are remakes from halo 3, Im definitely playing some infection on this map.
could you make a classic version of this (the little side bits raised up etc) for the Classic Playlist?
