TheSilenceBroken: I herd u liek Halo threez OT: I am really looking forward to the lagless version of this map, once lag goes I am certain it will be put in MM. I am pretty sure it will also get a few "author rams pits" tags lol. The thing I am always impressed about your maps is they literally are 1x1 remakes, it is crazy how accurate they are. I also think that Sniper is slightly cramped due to thick walls, but there is nothing you can do about that so... May I suggest you next remake Valhalla. I would love to see you tackle a BTB map and making such a large is the ultimate challenge. I am sure if you did make it, you would do it justice. I really have to protest against a Snowbound remake though. It was a horrible map 'nade-spammy that will only be worsened by the OP 'nades in Reach. If you are going to forge another TS map then maybe have a go at Boarding Action. With the ladder glitch etc I'm sure you could do a really good one But, tbh, I really don't mind what you do next, because I am sure it will be as awesome as this.

Alright guys v2 is up.. List of changes: *Dropped the item count 42 items!, Hopefully this will get rid of all and any lag. -Added Grids to mimic fence walls with scenic warthogs -Added Jump up boxes to plat -Added magnums where maulers spawned in flag rooms -Saved on platforms and was able to add all the "bananas" around training, The ledges are now an exact copy of halo 3 *Leftover budget Increased from $0 to $2300 ($2900 without grids and hogs) Please test it guys, I really am hoping this version doesn't lag :|
Very nice it feels and plays just like H3's Pit. Talking about lag, there is none at all in fullscreen, in splitscreen it lagged for me when both players are looking across the map (courtyard to needle and tower to tower) Overall I'm really impressed, good job! BTW: I'm playing on 1680 x 1050 if that matters.
Played around this a little bit with Nilla and the other Classic duderz. Over all I'd say its a pretty solid remake. Hoping you removed all spawn zones (used for measuring) prior to release with this one... You know how I get when I find them. My only real critique currently is the ramp to sword room. Its too thin. Even the picture shows that its thinner. Should only be one or two clicks, so no biggie... Also, drop the 5x1's. You know better than using those. Don't start forging like these other forge hub kids now.
Try spacing it out with 1x1 Tall and Thins maybe? having the thin side running down the center of the two bridge pieces...
Floor in Red shotgun tunnel is really messy. No biggie. Easy fix. The Grids I think would look much better if you lowered them so that they are only about as tall as the fencing was, and you took a sideways brace large to sorta of top it off. I drew this up quickly to help explain my idea. Of course, I don't necessarily care about that stuff, I just wanna see the finished version for all gametypes so I can get my customs on.
Yeah I could look into that fencing idea for sure, I'll take a look at red shotgun flooring also... As is I still need people to play v2 and tell me if Iv'e successfully eliminated the minor framerate loss or not from sniper to training..
This has got to be the best remake out there! Just curious if there are plans to make any other changes before it is final. I really want to see this in the classic playlist.
Yeah I keep updating it as I still have competition from two other remakes, Although I'm pretty darn sure my list of updates for v3 shows why this is the most accurate. (Refer to the OP). Map has been updated to v3 and I finally decided on a name. I need a favor from someone however, I don't have XBL access for about a week, I need someone to download v3, Reduce the Rocket launcher ammo count by 2 and rename the map to "The Range v3". This will allow me to copy it over to my fileshare and would be greatly appreciated if someone could do this for me. also is it just me or is my thumbnail to this thread broken? And I don't know why. Hope you guys like the update. -Jp
Words can't even describe v3. It's a masterpiece! I could make those changes for you. I just thought after a week you could have made those changes yourself, but I haven't seen your dl link take you to "The Range v3" yet. Also, to make sure, you want the rocket's spare clips to be 1? Then, after I make that change and title fix, I just upload it to my FS? Oh, and to fix your thumbnail, just go to edit then go advanced. Make sure you copy the url correctly and don't put brackets.
