    Installation (Foundation)

    This is my remake of foundation it is called Installation. I made this map as accurate as possible to the original also all hiding spots are here room 1 room 2 and even crates in room 4 to block the door for infection. I also made this map while in halo 2 vista just to get every thing perfect.

    I wrote the numbers on each wall to tell you what number base each room is i also made every base a particular color. Room 1 is Red Room 2 is Orange Room 3 is Blue and Room 4 is Green. This map is jet pack friendly top of map has soft death barriers. All weapon placements are the same except i added 4 needler rifles under the numbers on the wall and insted of 2 needlers next to each other i put 1 spike and 1 needler on each side.




    weapon list
    • 2 DMRs (2 spare clips)
    • 4 Needle Rifles (2 spare clips)
    • 4 Magnum (2 spare clips)
    • 2 Shotgun (1 spare clip)
    • 1 Energy Sword
    • 2 Rocket launcher
    • 2 Needler (2 spare clips)
    • 2 Spikers (2 spare clips)
    • 2 Mounted Machine Gun
    • 10 Frag Grenades
    • 8 Plasma Grenades
    • 4 health packs
    • 4 Plasma Repeater replaces smgs
    • 7 fusion coles all in there proper place

    Another re-make...Well, you did a really good job I have to say. This remake feels bright and colorful. The forging looks very very neat and you've seemed to really try to capture all of the little things about Foundation that make it special. I also really like the name you came up with for this map. I enjoyed foundation a lot and this re-make looks the neatest so far. Keep it up and welcome to Forgehub.

    I'm going to download and run through it, but from looking at your pics I can say the rooms look really neat- I like that you included the upper portions for jumping up into- but the center structure composed of 4x4 corners looks much bigger than the original Halo 2 structure.

    I actually just did a Foundation remake. You should download and compare it.

    So I ran through your map.

    The rooms feel great. The walls outside the rooms feel a little to wide, which is fine as the usual 4x4 blocks that are used don't feel wide enough- finding middle ground on that part is probably hard, and probably not necessary for the map to play well. The turret platforms feel a bit too large. Your stairs feel right, but the bases of the opposing stair come too close together... maybe you need to make them slightly more steep, or just extend the length of that side of the map a bit.

    And the center structure is too large if you were trying to replicate the size of the original. But I really like your method for making it recessed below the floor. Feels a lot like the original.

    It was my pleasure to help, I only hope that everyone else will love this map as much as I do. Its my opinion that in a sea of many, this Foundation remake is truly the best

    Awesome map xsjados! The detail in this map is phenomenal! It plays great with CTF and Multi-Team. I like the fact that it's open (as opposed to many other failed remakes) and that it isn't cluttered or distracting with unnecessary objects.

    Overall I think that this is the best remake of Foundation. Looking forward to more maps!

    well the thing with the center structer is that everyone does it the same and makes it to small and its just a death trap and no cover with mine its a little bigger than the one in halo 2 so that way i can put more detail in to and also more cover you know what they say bigger is better ha ha

    Foundation was by far my favorite map for infection! The rooms were set up perfectly to defend, something that no other halo map has captured! I have downloaded several foundation remakes, yet every time I come away wanting more! A good majority of the remakes are cluttered when it comes to the rooms. furthermore, in most of the remakes its hard to differentiate the rooms. This is not so in your map! Your detail to the rooms is stunning! Some how you pulled of the little things without making it look cluttered, and for that you have my respect! I can't wait to get some games on this bad boy!

    Thank you so much for the nice comment im really glade you liked it and noticed all the little things.

    I know what you mean though there are so many remakes of this map out there that are just not good thats what made me decided to make this map.

    Sadly though as good and as some people say perfect this one is it's also not as popular as all the other ones that aren't as good i hope that changes soon because i would really like to get this in the classic playlist.
