Colosseum - UPDATED "Fight for glory in The Arena." "Colosseum" is an (almost!) perfectly round arena, for use with the "Gladiator" gametype. It is for 2-8 players, and accepts the teams Red, Blue, Green and Orange. A maximum of 2 people can be on each team. The aim is simple: kill any other opponents. Your shields are 4x what they usually are, which results in a lengthy battle to destroy the others. You start with a Sword and can use Evade. However, as the battle progresses, more powerful weapons will start to spawn on the walls of the Colosseum. UPDATE - I have changed the weapons from 'fixed' to 'normal' and rested them on a small platform, to avoid the glitching that sometimes occurs. Thanks for everyone who helped with the advice! Please give feedback as to how to improve this map and gametype, it would be greatly appreciated. And most important of all: have fun!
It certainly looks cool. Have you playtested enough though? Because even of it takes four sword swipes to kill, the battles will be very quick
I beleive your forgetting the clang theory, sir. But im very happy this finally got remade in halo:reach and I hope for the best, for you and your map. (most of the pictures didn't show for me though, but I don't care. I got the just of it from the one I could see... the first one.)
Don't mind the images. Bungie.net is currently having troubles, so the pictures will be down until its fixed.
It does look pretty good. However, I think I'll change the gametype so everything is random, fiesta-style. Do you have the budget to add more entrances to the arena?
This looks a cool map, i like the aesthestics and colouring. But..... I can see u have fixed or phased weapons. This can really spoil a game having weapons floating in mid air when dropped. I used to do the same, but have learnt to change. Other than fixed weapons , this looks really good and fun. Nice forging
I agree with the person above me on the phased weapons, you should use flag stands to hold normal ones, also it's not a perfect circle but it's close.
Thanks! I didnt know it was originally a map in Halo 3; great minds really do think alike. The pictures should work now, I think the Bungie servers went dowen for a bit yesturday. Unfortunatly, I have only tested it with two other firends, but the games I played with them were pretty good. As the person below you said, the 'clang' make the game last longer, and all weapons only do 90% of their usual damage. Feel free to change the gametype, I imagine that Fiesta would also work well on the map (If only fiesta were in Matchmaking!) An yes, there is more than enough budget to add more entrances. Yes, I was rather confused as to why that was happening. I will try what the person below you said a use flag stands. But thanks! Link should work now, I changed the gametype slightly. Thanks for the comments everyone! This is really the first proper map I've made; the other I uploaded here was a racetrack, but I didnt get any replies
The forging seems to be clean and the concept is indeed interesting. This arena definitely stands out. I only have once concern. I've noticed fixed weapons in your screenshots. This means if you kill someone, you may have difficulties picking up that weapon. I would recommend just leaning weapons against other objects in the future. Nice job on your forging though!
I have taken yours, and everyone elses advice on board, and now have the weapons resting on small platform. Hopefully it should work better now! And thanks for your comment too
Hey great job man! I've played maps similar to this in halo 3, and i really loved it. I have been waiting for this since reach came out! Anyways I went to your fileshare but I can't find the map, can you put up just the map again? I don't need the gametype cuz im planning on playing fiesta/team fiesta with this map. And btw if you have time or like to can you change it so there are more rooms fighters enter through for more people to be able to play? Like add a second story or/and a third story? If you don't know what I mean check out (halo 3 version): Halo 3: Custom Games - Episode 4 - Sordsmen on Gladiator v1.3‏ - YouTube
Cheers! I've uploaded the link again, have fun! (Sorry that I didn't have time to make more rooms, but I'll get round to doing it at some point Hope you enjoy it!
thank you.. I've also made one myself though its a bit smaller and its not as good cuz its my first time forging for theres two floors and i think 6 rooms? (2 on the first and 4 on the second floor). You can check it out its called colosseum too in my fileshare my gt is the same as my username
