Example, an obscure unofficial-official map packaged with the map editor from Halo 2 Vista has been remade into Exemplar! To be honest, this is the product of boredom and procrastination. I decided to remake the map for several reasons...no one else would, it's a simple map, and it would be insanely hectic to have a Big Team Battle on such a ridiculously small map. Exemplar is compatible with all gametypes except Invasion, and has enough spawns for Big Team and Multi-Team, though honestly it probably wouldn't be very fun unless you just want to have a spawn-killing mosh pit. The recommended number of players for the original map is 2... So duels or small FFA matches would probably be the most normal. It's compatible with both Reach and Classic gametypes. Also, I have not actually played Halo 2 Vista. This map was made using only 5 or 6 screenshots I found on the internet, but I think it turned out pretty well regardless. If I made any errors or miscalculations, please say so. Note: Some alterations were made for Infection. Use a specific gametype when looking at it in Forge, otherwise it will be dark and have a large shield door in the middle. Overview: Upper Red: Lower Blue: Tunnel: Center: Assault Rifle x2 (replaces SMG/Silenced SMG) Sniper Rifle Focus Rifle (replaces Beam Rifle) Concussion Rifle x2 (replaces Brute Shot) Needler x2 Plasma Rifle x2 Shotgun Fuel Rod Gun Frag Grenade x4 Plasma Grenade x4 Machine Gun Turret Plasma Turret Overshield Invisibility Thanks for looking! If you have any suggestions, feel free to state them! This is my first Forgehub post... If I did anything wrong, don't eat me.
Hello and welcome to Forgehub! Although I have played halo 2 vista, I've only played the default maps. Anyway, this map looks really good for a first time post. A couple of things I'd like to point out: Could you add a weapons list to your post? I know it really helps me get a feel for the map before I hit 'download'. The tunnels are really interesting; they seem like they would easily get over crowded and hard to move around in (This could just be from my interpretations of the pictures, I am unable to play test at the moment). Have you found any problems with them in games? All in all, excellent first post. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thanks for the comment! As I said, the map this is a remake of was somewhat of an "unofficial official" map...it was made by the folks who created Halo 2 Vista, but isn't meant to be used in games. I haven't really gotten a lot of testing done on it. Generally, it should be used for 1v1, thus the tunnels couldn't really get "crowded". I would guess 4 players is the maximum number it would play normally...but even then there could be problems. In all seriousness, I remade this map more for the novelty of it rather than for the gameplay. Don't be expecting a Lockout or Guardian-tier map with regard to gameplay when downloading this. I'll add a weapons list later.
Niceee bro, I really like the indoor'ish feeling of the map. The Tunnel seems like somewhere people will play domination the most so I hope you made gameplay epic there. The details of the map are excellent, but the way of how you travel around the map seems limited when you are on the bottom level.. even though its a remake.. add your own signature structures. Keep up the good work
i loved the halo 2 Vista exclusives maps, so i love this remake I also did a remake of an halo 2 Vista exclusive map, uplift,please give it a look Good job, man!
Very nice. I too remade this map out of sheer boredom and the fact that no one else had, but your's is much more detailed than mine. Definite dl.
