Well before the untimely demise of the map I was currently working on, it was a remake of High Ground that I entitled Underground since I built it on Erosion (the aesthetics were perfect and it was the most sloped area...it was a bit different and so was probably going to wind up more as a spiritual successor yet each place was being remade as CLOSE as possible...at least for my skill in Forge (which is not much compared to you guys) Anywho -- I'm just wondering what maps from previous Halo games you want to try your hands at and how you think you'll go about it. Not sure how many people liked Orbital but I thought it was a fun CTF/Assault map as well as a nice Infection map...I was looking at some of the Impact pieces like the hallway blocks they have and they have ones of like, blast doors that are jammed open which would probably be perfect for the two blast doors to the red and blue bases on Orbital...plus you have all tunnels for Impact, scenery specific to it, etc. Not to mention the outside is space and is thus perfect for Orbital. I can't be the only who thought of Orbital (x Then there's...what's it called...there are two maps from Reach...Anchor 9 I believe and another one. One was like on board a UNSC ship and you could go out into space and float and it got all silent and I believe there were some ships docked in the hangars as well. That was a fun map...then the other one had a room that had low gravity and you could see Reach being glassed. Those ones would work. I'm wondering if anyone was planning a remake that would surprise us slightly. Like Blood Gulch....we have the bases yet cannot use them to remake BG or Coag because the Forge maps don't have an area that would really work...I thought Impact's secondary asteroid (the one without the pre-made base) could work but the hills and craters are too different I believe...also it'd be much smaller. Zanzibar/Last Resort? Beaver/Battle Creek? Sandtrap (LOL right...although I do wish we had a map about that size....it was huge but not TOO large)? Standoff? -- You know what? I liked Standoff! I feel like most people hated it 'cause the Warthog could easily overpower the map and stuff but those base designs were some of my favorite bases in any of the Halo games which includes Blood Gulch, Coagulation, Battle Creek, etc. Standoff's base designs in a better environment (maybe more like a Valhalla or classic Blood Gulch environment) would be so legit. I might possibly do that... Anyway..Sidewinder? Turf? Ivory Tower? Burial Mounds (would probably be awesome on Dominion)? Relic? Isolation (unpopular, I know but I liked it haha)? Ghost Town (another unpopular map that I dug)? Anyway, you get the idea. Just curious what you are all up to in regards to remakes, spiritual successors, etc.
I was actual going to try both Orbital and Condemned actually, hahaha. I think the largest problem in remaking the larger maps is not the size of the forge maps but the preset terrain they provide. It would be cool to see somebody pull of Zanzibar though I imagine their best bet would be to make it on Impact. Goodluck with High Ground. Even a spiritual successor that closely resembles the original would be interesting and commendable given that lack of the desired terrain.
I tried doing a re-imagination of ghost town but it came out too small from the lack off good sized flat terrain. I have a gemini re-imagination in the beta testing stage. And I'm in the middle of another but its a secret now
Ooh exciting. Yeah.....gonna take much longer to finish my High Ground remake since I have to start all over :/ Can't wait to see all the remakes and stuff!
