FOREIGN TREASURES II MAP PREVIEW Black Theorem & Zatherla PRESENT _______________ L O C K D O W N [justify]Hey ForgeHubbers, As you may know one of ForgeHub's more established contests, Foreign Treasures, has been underway for quite some time now. And it's about time to get these Map Previews squeezed in. Black Theorem and I have been hard at work on this map, tweaking and adding in those pesky final touches. Based on the map Lockdown from the hit game Modern Warfare 3, Black Theorem and his sidekick Zatherla have been slaving over a hot Xbox to get this map finished and placed neatly inside your Xbox's. Although we were outnumbered in polygons. We took the challenge head on to recreate this map from scratch. I think it's about time though to show you guys our progress in the map so far. So without further ado, Here are the screen-shots, enjoy![/justify] SCREEN-SHOTS Spoiler
Always have to have a bike, eh Zath? Anyway, I won't touch MW3 with a barge pole, but the map looks cleanly forged and I assume it's fairly accurate. I'm quite interested to see how your aesthetic forging style translates into something like this.
Thanks, Katanga. I just hope it plays well. It should since Black Theorem forged most of it, and he's a great forger. So *fingers crossed* it works out.
I would, but people searching in the custom search for the actual map 'Lockout' from halo 2, will be very unhappy to see out map in their, and people searching for our map will have trouble finding it with all the lockout remakes. It's just too similar to another map :S . Thanks for your contribution though! How'd you know?
the scale is as close to 1:1 as we possibly could, and I did contemplate that name Elite, but Black Theorem would like it if the name didn't ave 'lock' or 'down' in it Thanks though.
Yeah, I want a name that alludes to the idea of Lockdown without explicitly referencing it. But actually, I found an interesting idea for the name on the map itself.Lemme find a pic of it, either online or with an actual pic.
I think I was in your party whilst you were working on this along with berby. It sounded really tough. It looks brilliant and that bike is cool I personally dont like any of the suggested names. I can't really think of another either (lazy).
Don't have MW3, so there's not much I can say, but I'm glad to finally see a map in the Foreign Treasures II contest. Not too many submissions going on. BTW name it Sheltered and make me happy.
The map looks really nice, I'm not to much of a fan of MW3 but the map is fairly accurate for sure. My suggestion though would be just to replace some of the vehicles made out of blocks and capture plates with actual halo vehicles. Would just make it feel more alive to me, and give the map itself more color, doesnt mean the vehicles have to be usable. Just create a custom gametype to keep that nightmare from happening and anyone wanting to perserve the maps feel will use it. Either way I think itll turn out well, glad to see more map previews popping up for the contest! And P.S. I think safekeeping would be a appropriate name for it.
Tested this with you guys, was pretty good barring the framerate problems I told you about in the corners. namewise... hmm, how about Road to Ruin? Maybe Cavalcade?
There was a moment when, and im not kidding, i was playing the original map on MW3, and i thought i was playing reach, simply because this map is such a spot on remake. Good work you guys.
The only thing that doesn't seem right from the pictures, is the FX. The original in no way looks bland or desaturated like your map does with those FX.
I really like the look of this remake. It stands above par to the other remakes I've seen previewed or posted, and I hope to see this map in action when it is done. Good luck with the contest BT and Zathlablahblah
Nice work so far zath! The bike looks awesome and I like the statue and cars. And the areal of map looks pretty accurate. I am glad you raised the wheels on vehicals...looks better now than sunk into col walls as floor . The map feels very gray, the fx makes it even grayer... May be accurate but to me it feels like it needs a little. Good luck in comp unsure if I will put my gridlock remake in too.
