Ruin is a remake of The Halo 2 map Relic. I did my best to preserve all of the jumps from the original map, such as being able to get onto the sides of the base via rocks and broken pieces of structure. As with Relic the front ramps disappear in CTF matches. I also added 1 way shield doors to the front of the base in CTF to prevent jetpackers from getting up that way. A fusion coin blocks the red teleporter and needs to be destroyed in order for either teleporter to work. This is my first major forge project so I would appreciate any and all feedback. More screenshots:
This map looks pretty good. Looking forward to trying it out, as I've been hoping for someone to make an accurate Relic remake. One question I've got is, what is that structure I see in the middle? Looks like it has a roof with pillars supporting it. I don't remember seeing anything like that in the original Relic.
actually I have the same question. I see two structures that I do not remember from relic. Not that it is a bad thing, but perhaps it should be called "inspired by" rather than a "remake". though, I know that people sometimes put "remake" in a thread just to get lots of attention because people miss the bungie maps of old.
I'm guessing the structures are the UNSC drop ship and the Covenant sniper tower (roof with pillars).
Lol, that's the floating covenant sniper tower. It looks as if it's a giant structure in the middle of the map it's just really close. You can see the gravity lift right below it.
That's hilarious! I hadn't even thought of that. That screenshot gave a really good optical illusion. Forge doesn't even HAVE pillars that big!! I'll just have to go ahead and try this one out. Of all the ones I've seen, this one appears to be the most accurate, especially in terms of the layout: If you're taking suggestions, the only thing I might suggest (merely for nostalgia and cosmetics) would be to restore that original Forerunner shape to the center structure, more specifically the height of it. That would be awesome if possible!
