    DOWNLOAD "PIT STOP"

    This map is inspired by one of my favourite maps, "THE PIT". This however is not an attempt at an accurate remake, but it has all the character of the origional map. For gameplay reasons, the map is different structuraly and has a slightly diferent layout. This is because the area available in foundry is far smaller than that of THE PIT. Weapon spawns have been altered for this reason also.

    Unlike most foundry maps, this one i play frequently, whether just to warm up, or to have a competitive game.
    I realy think this maps play well, so please download PIT STOP

    Interesting. A pit remake on foundry. I would like to DL and see if it is better. (it may be pretty easy to remake a better pit because the halo 3 pit sucks)

    You could place a Ghost on this map. It's only a suggestion, but it could add more fun to the map. It could also give the Rockets a better purpose. I could also suggest to interlock to make the map itself neater, attracting more downloads, but you don't have to.

    Why dont people like the pit, it is one of the better maps available. I think I've actually seen someone make a true remake of the Pit but as you said this isnt a pure remake. I'd like to see more pics and the weapon information.

    ok, i had to do a massive re think in terms of weapon placements , because the first testing i did on it resulted in people constantly camping behind corners with close range weapons. this problem is amplified with this map because it is far smaller than the origional. I also had to change some ohter stuff:

    1 shotgun in replacement of old sword spawn
    Extra BRs replace both maulers (not the ones near sword spawn-they are gone)
    Rockets same place-(long respawn so you dont get owned in the face)
    Snipers same place
    Spikers same place
    Plasma rifles in same place
    No shottys in old shotty spawn
    Aditional Brs and Ars added in places
    Regenerator in same place
    SMGs in same place
    Power drain in same place
    Bubble shield added

    ...i think thats about it, give it a try and let me know any suggestions for V2. cheers\wombat

    All of these were probably changes for the better, but what gets my attention is the fact you put a Bubble Shield on the map. I would like to see what a Bubble could do in the Pit, or this map. It could stop pwnage w/ Rockets, keep you from becoming Sniped, you could pwn with close range weapons in usually open areas... The Bubble Shield could effect a lot of gameplay, and that would make this map more interesting.

    yeah i was worried rockets would dominate more cos of th map size, so i put the bubbe in to protect from that, after testing i realised rockets were a little bit to powerfull, so i put the spawn time up. you might ask why not just get rid of them, but the reason is i still wanted to have that similarity to the origional. i think if they werent there, then people would no longer need to fight the control of the middle, and instead just camp at base with brs and snipers. i thinik that putting in ghosts ruins gameplay and balance, but even if i didnt, i stil wouldnt put one in cos the map is just not open enough for any vehicles. thanks for the feedack, wombat
