GHOST TOWN Created by Darkprince909 On the outskirts of Voi lies an abandoned compound where many brave souls fought for the fate of humanity. This remake was a long time coming. I originally tried remaking Ghost Town on Erosion right when Halo 4 came out. Like many (most) of you, I had the lighting derp out on me, and Ghost Town sat for a few months on my hard drive. After Forge Island was released, I realized it would be perfect for a Ghost Town remake, with the rocks and trees, and the flat ground. After letting the idea simmer in my brain for a while, I got started. It took me about 4 days of constant forging, and several close calls, but here I stand, with $50 left in the budget, with what I believe to be the most accurate Ghost Town we'll get in Halo 4's Forge. At least, that's what I hope. The terrain and level geometry are done, but the spawns need testing before I call the map complete (hence why I'm posting it here.) It is set up for Slayer, CTF, KOTH, and Oddball, and is on my Fileshare, but it's not the final version. I had enough pieces to replicate some of the trick jumps from the original, but not all. I chose to keep the ones that promoted movement around the map, but spots such as cliffside perches are gone. Anyway, most, if not all of you, know Ghost Town from Halo 3, so I don't really think I need to explain the map like I would for an original map, so here's some more pictures.

And I've already got an idea of what map I'll remake next. Hint: It's a Covenant themed map from Halo 3. Download: Darkprince909's File Share Halo Official Site
You really deserve a comment, so I'll go ahead and be the first to do it. Looks like a great remake. I really loved Ghost Town back in the days, I've always felt like it was a bit underrated so it's cool to see someone making a remake on Forge Island. I know Indie Anthias made one on Impact already, but although I can't say much about gameplay, this one obviously definitely gives off the vibe of the original map. It looked very similar and equally clean.
Thanks for actually commenting REMkings. It's nice to hear at least some feedback on my map. And I agree, Ghost Town was definitely underrated in its day, mostly due to it being a DLC map.
I loved Ghost town back in the day. I'm glad to see it remade in H4. I make it a point to download all the remakes of all the old Halo maps I loved before so this map definitely gets my download. *Did you ever think of coloring some areas of the map? The map looks really clean but really bland at the same time.
Leave it to Zandril to b*tch about color (kidding) But really, I loved your Turf remake and I can definitely say this is giving me such a nostalgi-on. I'm going to download this as soon as I can (suspended from live), and play the crap out of it. Props, and... I... I love you...
Played a game of Juggernaut on this not too long ago. It really felt spot on -- sortof pre-rundown days. Love it.
Well this is only the Preview thread after all, I can color the map between now and the full release (which might be a while. Just started a new job a couple weeks ago and I'm starting school Monday.) And I love you too Behemoth (No ****... Aww who am I kidding? XD ) Glad you guys like the map!
