Here's a preview of the 5 gears of war maps i plan on releasing: Their reach names, original names, and gametypes they aim to support Rust [Ruins] - TS, CTF Estate [Mansion] - TS, CTF, KoTH Bloodbound [Blood Drive] - TS, CTF, KoTH Flood [Canals] ; 2v2 (if not 4v4) - TS, CTF, maybe KoTH Sector [Pavilion] ; 2v2 (if not 4v4) - TS, KoTH They are all now forged, but awaited to have objectives set up and testing. Send me a message/FR if you will want to help me test.
Rust, or Ruins, looks the most promising so far. I'd remake. A GoW2 map.. I forget what it was called but it had like semi-trucks or whatever and stuff.
yea ruins' layout IMO will be very nice in reach. Anyways I have no idea what map you're referring to. River has a couple of tank-trucks or w/e in front of each base.
What Gears were you playing? Fuel Depot was the 3rd most popular map in GoW1 next to Gridlock & Mansion. XD Anyways, the remakes look good, especially the Ruins one. The Blood Drive one could do with pits between the staircases, as default slayer would let you walk where you couldn't go in Gears. Just my two cents, though. Keep up the good work.
I like them and was surprised by how I could instantly spot which section of the GOW maps that you used for the pictures. I'm still having a hard time imagining how well Halo games will play on GOW maps though, but I suppose I will see soon. Keep up the good work! Also: yeah, Fuel Depot was one of the fan favorites of GOW1 and players waited anxiously for the Snowblind Map Pack for GOW2 so they could revisit their favorite. I'd say that Gridlocked and Subway were the only flashbacks that could top it.
All 5 completed Waterway [Canals] is done And now my last one is done, may or may not be a keeper Sector [Pavilion] I have yet to add objectives, and to test them so anybody who wants to test these with me please send me a FR/message
I have no clue what part of Pavilion that is Lol, I think you should redo it, because If you don't make it enclosed, and use natural geometry in the middle, like grass/rocks, like in the real map, It'd be 10x better. The others look fine and dandy. Although, None of the maps you remade had complete roofing. I think if you could get rid of the roofing in some areas, they'd all be much more like the GoW maps and would just have a much better feel. That's just my opinion though, I guess. Good luck.
I feel ya About Pavilion, I have no idea what i'm going to do with it. I might end up dumping it completely. I can't really add grass/rocks like the original, because there is actually an entire lower level below that, much like construct. Though like i said, I may get rid of it and try something different. Now that you mentioned it, I may open up some of the maps' roofs. -mansion- leaving as is -Ruins- most likely leaving as is -Blood Drive- most likely opening it up in the outdoor areas, but i'll see -Canals- indecisive -Pavilion- the map is extremely different to the original, so idk Open roofs only look good when done right, i've seen some maps that just look amazing Edit: I might just leave them alone, It'll take so long to think of a good way to open it up, and doing it the simple way just looks ugly
