Rat's Nest Remake

Looks pretty decent but the road should only be about half the width. I would of personally used the corridors for the road and the wall for the wall. I would think the width of the original road is about 1.5 times the width of a corridor.

 

Well, just for a rule of size to go off of, it looks like the original is just over 3 warthog lengths wide and yours looks about 5 wide.

 

Is there an award or some sort of acknowledgement for most dedicated forger? If not, maybe there should be. I'd like to nominate KAZEROID. Gotta respect that level of dedication. Keep it up, man.

 

Be sure to remember the pipes up along the top of the wall!

 

Looks nice so far. Just a heads up though - Thruster Pack users will get through that One-way sheild you're using as a window. A window might actually be easier in terms of not being able to break the map.
Also, I'm with Gronfors. Make sure you get something in that replicates the pipes if possible. They were my favourite part of that map.

 

I measured out the width of the Rat's Nest road for you Kazeroid, its 5 units wide from white line to white line.

I would also suggest using the corridor sideways, then just use the walls to trim - it would give you one extra unit worth of space on each side of the white lines which should be good!

 

with the pipes and color being driving features of this map, i am pretty surprised you didn't use the erosion map as the forge template

 

Nice updated changes! If you plan on putting the pipes in the only unit I see feasible is the pipes on Erosion though. It will take up way to much budget using building blocks, probably taking close to 100 of them.

 

Take my opinion for what it's worth, considering the dudes that I played with and I only ever played big team if we had too big of a group to play ranked or just felt like screwing around and getting some funtage clips. The only thing I ever liked about Rats Nest was batting my random teammates in warthogs off the edge with a hammer. Over and over and over again. The way I see it, you can approach this remake one of two ways. Focus on the aesthetics and go the Erosion route or focus on game play, which it appears you're doing, and with which I agree with. The pipes don't contribute to game play at all. To me that's like complaining about a Guardian remake because it doesn't have the structure above top mid. I think the station pieces are much more beneficial to the composition of this map than the minor aesthetics of the pipes. Focus your attention on scaling and the detail in the open middle portion (where rockets spawn) and you'll nail the feel of the original.

 

You could climb on top of some of the pipes from what I remember, which attributes to gameplay. Rats Nest was one of if not the best warthog map in Halo 3 so good job on remaking it Kazeroid.

 

I was thinking about this map last week good to see someone is tackling the challenge it would fit perfectly into halo 4 like Vahalla probably. However this makes me miss halo 3 lol.

 

I know. You could grav lift up or nade jump in a few spots. I'm simply suggesting that it shouldn't be the focus of the remake. The frame rate issue is so prevalent in this game that you have to make compromises between looks and functionality.

 

Please don't let this sit on your hard drive, I loved Rats Nest and I neeeed an awesome remake of it. I can't wait to see the finished product, Kazer.

 

Rat's Nest was a really fun map which is why I think I like Harvest (it's not even close to a remake but has similarities like Guardian and Lockout have)

This one looks good! If you can, you should add the background Pelican if you have budget left over and if it won't kill the budget!

So far it's looking fantastic! Definitely gonna be a download. You remake a lot of maps I loved (like Longshore)

Anyway...looking great!
