Sorry for how shitty this looks but I want to try and use power ups in my next map that function like this. Kind of like how you can shoot down camo on the rig but dig a little deeper. The whole map would revolve around this concept. This clip was just showing the idea not the map
EDIT: It took a lot of attempts to actually grab it and doing it under pressure would have to be the most rewarding experience. Now thinking of different layouts
Have you played Destiny 1 and 2 maps? Terrible, boring maps that, like Halo 5, are over simplified for an over saturated sandbox and movement/ability set. They created their own Cesspool (sorry @Dunco ).
It's innovative **** like this and the keys that are the only things keeping forge interesting. Interested to see what you come up with.
I keep wanting to put in environmental bonuses/interaction like that, but I always rethink it when I realize how stupid a lot of people play - not that anyone plays anymore anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter too much BY THE WAY 'sketchy presets' is playable with initial spawns (no respawn locations) so give it a whirl https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/...tspartin_cd0268af-0806-4de7-8695-28df87e11739
I meant to just look at the layout for about 5 minutes, but I've been running around and finding jumps and movement options for 30 minutes lol. If when you put respawn points you want to play it on H5:F hmu
will do! my GT is the same as my name here if you want to add me also here's the official Forgehub link https://www.forgehub.com/maps/sketchy-presets.5484/
Agreed the Vex "style" is rather vexing - I always thought it would be appropriate in the Halo universe, given its simplistic exterior that hides details and mysteries and contrasting elements, and is actually something I wanted to evoke with the Sketchy Presets, or at least integrate into the larger 'its another forerunner themed mystery map' canon I have going on. I don't know if I managed to do that, what with the lighting issues, but hopefully it makes a little sense in that context.
This is dope. I can imagine a way to make the power up travel the entire length if a map, so if someone misses the jump or w/e, the enemy might be in a better spot to grab it
To jump WAAAAAAY back to the whole community favorites thing. This vote is by far, the most difficult one I have ever encountered. Not only have I played all of the maps on the list, I liked all of them. Hell, I even featured several of them. I think all the choices this time around earned their spot on the ballot without a shout of a doubt. I feel as though that many of people gripes with the options often come from them not having played the maps at all. Some members even admit to not even bothering to look at the maps page. (Given the setting, that's a touch ironic) I personally feel that if members in general actually played new maps in customs lobbies more, whether it be the promoted ones or private ones it would help with how options are received. At the end of the day, there is no "perfect" system. It's always gonna come down to what one person wants vs the other and while it would be neat if everyone could get some recognition somehow, it just isn't how things work. If we as a team were to increase the range of ways we highlight maps, we would eventually remove the luster from anybody being highlighted in any way. Admitably, our dedicated "Map Features" haven't been a thing in quite awhile but through both the new Community Driven faves vote and the spotlights in weekly updates, you still have a decent shot of getting a little limelight. And hell, that's even discounting the array of Halo channels that feature content (some more than others)
You can't see in the clip but the power up lands in a doorway on the opposite side. I started a layout and have two functioning power ups so far that I'm proud of. Lifting into the power up is cool but being in a weaker position and shooting the power up to yourself is also satisfying. I'll upload some clips tomorrow
good question! I have no idea, but the setup supports it which means that I finished my spawn pass and its actually playable! also I KNOW HOW TO USE THEATER MODE I AM JUST LAZY
