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. The central bridge. Central area. Under the bridge towards sniper tower. Central area staight on. Towards camo spawn. Out of invis looking towards bridge. 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.
looks like it would be fun for koth, i like that you were inspired by the pits design, this should play well
thank for all the feedback guys, yeah i wasnt sure how people would react to this, so ill probably remake it all perfect and more interlocking and stuff soon if enough people feedback on it. cheers wombat
this is really cool, the original pit wasnt that great, and this looks really good, great job ill check it out sometime
i really like the look of the bridge. nice job. some parts look to open mabe keep forging on it and make a v2? that wold be kool.
yaeh i will make a v2 soon, i just wanted to get a quick version out cos i havnt got much time at the moment because of exams and stuff, but yeah, all your feedback is great and ill use it when i upgrade the map.cheers wombat
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
