Hello there, I bring you... Orbital! This is not the version that was submitted for Forgotten Treasures, this is a completely revamped version. I went through the entire map finding, deleting, and replacing high frame-rate items. This map plays so much better than it originally had! There is no more frame-rate lag. After replacing a tremendous amount of items, I finally got the original lighting to return. I still however used the delay spawn lighting glitch to remove any remaining lag. In fact, here's a checklist of updates. Replaced many high frame-rate causing objects. Enabled lighting glitch to all items possible. Set up the map to play with all gametypes, excluding extraction and dominion. Removed ordinance drops and made all weapons placed on map. (With original respawn times). Took a second look at aesthetics and overall made the map feel more "clean". Spaced out top hallway a little more to not feel as cramped. Of course I wouldn't have perfected the map without help from Mickraider; aka Vincent Torre! But enough about the details, enjoy some mediocre pictures of the map Weapons Rocket Launcher / Spare Clips = 1 / 120 Sec Respawn Sniper Rifle / Spare Clips = 1 / 120 Sec Respawn Battle Rifle / Quantity = 7 Suppressor / Quantity = 2 Plasma Pistol / Quantity =2 Storm Rifle / Quantity = 1 Plasma Grenades / Quantity = 6 Pulse Grenades / Quantity = 2 The Suppressor was added to replicate the spikers from Halo 3. Storm Rifle replaces the Plasma Rifle from Halo 3. Pulse Grenades are placed to replicate the power drainer effect from Halo 3. All weapons are placed in original Halo 3 locations. The Mauler was not included in this remake because the boltshot is too much. And there you have it, my remake of Halo 3's Orbital. Completely revamped and updated! I recommend re-downloading if you have the old version. This new ones perfect 2v2 Dust-up Version: Essentially the same map but with a few tweaks. Added a Regenerator field AA just outside each base in original Halo 3 location. Added a Boltshot to replace the Mauler from Halo 3. (90 sec. respawn / 0 spare clips.) Added a small rail to incorporate a tactical jump-up from Sniper to Rocket spawn. Let me know what you think!
Very well done my friend. I didn't read the words i just stared at the screenshots and went O-o orbital? Sure enough thats what it was. I am very glad to see this map, keep up the good work.
I haven't downloaded the new version but the previous was beautiful. Loved it. Truely crafted with passion as a remake should. Good job.
I can only imagine what a tricky remake this was to build, but I'm guessing it was quite difficult. I really liked Orbital, one of my top maps in H3. Amazingly well done, thanks.
Thank you kind sirs! It means a lot considering this map was 2 months worth of hard work. So much work was poured into this to optimize gameplay! I cannot stress that enough.
