MidnightHinata submitted a new map: Floodgates - A map heavily inspired by Damnation and Elongation, over 20 hours of work. Read more about this map...
Disclaimer: This map is NOT a remaster, It very much resembles what it is based on, but due to my lack of ability to scale things properly i have made my own twist on the original map, I will update the level based on feedback. Thank you ^_^
Damn this looks awesome, love all the industrial details you've done like pipes for the overshield lanes. Looking forward to walking through this later, I'll see how the lighting does. Have you tested the map at all? Also not sure where the elongation inspiration comes in; from the pictures it looks strictly dammy.
I have not had the privilege of testing out this map with friends as none have the same interest in Halo as me, however I have Circled this map a bunch of times and know of improvements that can be made, The lighting is something I was getting enraged with as strange textures were popping up everywhere, I believe i have fixed a majority however the lighting seems to glitch in different locations every time the light is generated, This is a known bug. And the inspiration i took from Elongation was the way the map had its own unique look, it wasn't COMPLETELY a copy a damnation, i took this into account and added a few personal quirks of my own such as the industrial settings. I hope you enjoy walking around the map, please do return and give me your honest critique.

It looks cool but I dont get why people bother with remakes if theyre not going to scale it correctly. --- Double Post Merged, Dec 19, 2015 --- It looks cool but I dont get why people bother with remakes if theyre not going to scale it correctly.
Faster base movement speed, sprint, and bigger player models all contribute to difficulties in scaling. Even if it was scaled 1:1, it would play much smaller than the original anyway.
Took a match here today. Your remake isn't bad at all. though I was never a fan of the original, You did some nice work.
Took a walk around and I have several comments. Firstly, it looks awesome. Secondly, the bottom catwalks need to be cleaned up. I just don't think those invisible walls are a good solution to the pipes sticking out of the bridge pieces and it looks sort of messy. Would probably be better if you just lowered the pipes underneath and add 2 more bridge segments towards OS. Thirdly, you've listed this as 2v2 but running around and I can instantly tell that 2's would play really slow even with the original CE weapon set. Lastly, the spawning seems pretty sparse. There's really not all that many spawn points on the map and it seems as if it's really easy to manipulate. Need to get a game on here though.

Thank you for the constructive critique, I have updated the map based on what you have said and also updated the map info, 2v2 was a mistake! Did not mean to make it that haha, Anyways if and when you have this match with your friends i hope you all have a blast! --- Double Post Merged, Dec 20, 2015 --- Thank you very much. ^_^ --- Double Post Merged, Dec 20, 2015 --- I couldn't have put it better than 'RegrettedKarma' The scale of the original was not tailored towards Halo 5's faster paced action and clamber movements, all this had to be addressed whilst creating the map. Also the slightly up scale nature of this map allowed more artistic freedom on my part, And i do like to make things pretty!
Does anyone have any improvements that can be made? Im currently remaking Turf for your gaming pleasure, But i also want this to be perfected so please dont forget feedback good or bad! I can take it.
