I posted this in the competitive map thread also but I thought it could belong in here too. I did not want to make a thread for each map because I thin it would waste the forums space so I put them all in one thread hope you guys dont mind I am new to this site so I thought I would introduce myself by showing you guys some of the maps I have made. I am a stickler for gameplay, and that comes first before looks. I try to make maps remakes look as much as I can like the originals but not at the sake of the gameplay. my original maps are the same way they might not look like much but the game play is extremely fun. so please enjoy Gemini Gemini There has not been many remakes of this map so I decided to make one and I thought it turned out pretty well, especially since I only had to make it once unlike some of the other maps that I had to do many times over to get them right. This map includes most if not all the little neat features that Gemini brought to us. You can still get on the tree branches, the prophet statue is still there, plus the gameplay feels the same which is a must in my remakes. Foundation Foundation I was not sure how this one was going to play but I ended up really liking the game play that the map brings forth almost more then what I did on the original. ( no I am not saying that because I made it. One thing I am is honest about maps. Bases are still numbered (in this case lettered lol) still have the drop down for rockets. I made it so you can go across the top of the middle structure for I like the feel of it. Lockout Lockout This is the one allot of people seam to be enjoying.I have sniper tower almost perfect if not perfect, even have little details that you will notice on this one. if you are a super bouncer I even have the mountain crouch spot next to sniper tower which is just another little detail I like. On this map you can still do all the jumps you could do in the original while not doing the others. shooting angles are still there. this one I had to redue many times to make sure the game play stayed the same and I think it turned out really well and so do most of the people that have downloaded it Midship Midship v3 This map thread got closed but you can still download from it. This was my first remake I did and it turned out pretty well it is close to a thousand downloads which is kinda cool for a remake. some things were changed a little bit but all in all it works really well. I am one of the few people that made the side tunnels from the bases to the towers like in the originals. you can still jump into the base from sword but not vice versa. Sanctuary Sanctuary This is one of the remakes I was kinda disappointed in and will probably re due even though many people like it. this is a compressed Sanctuary while keeping sanctuary. game play is still there and I enjoy playing on it and to my surprise so do many others Original Maps Dragon Dragon This has a story behind it. my friend wanted to make a map with me but he did not know what he wanted to do. So I told him to say a word and we would build a map around that word. He said Dragon and that is how it started. After creating the Dragon we decided it might be fun as a Infection map and it turned out we were right. this one is kind of hard to describe you will just have to check it out The King The King a King of the hill map that actually has a hill and allot of fun. I have one big hill with four sides all blocked from each other with many weapons to choose from. Every time you spawn it will behind a shield door so you can choose your weapon of destruction. We found playing this with 4 teams of 2 is really fun and requires allot of team work. This map is a really simple map that packs in a ton of fun. please play the map before you judge it for you will be surprised how much fun you have on it. The Maze The Maze In my opinion my most fun map This is not a maze you have to figure out this is one you fight in. This map starts out with four squares with in a giant square with 2 teleporters in each square in the middle of each edge wall. As you fight the maze will build around you until you are over come in the maze trying to kill your enemy. I went through allot of game types and I found one that was way more fun then all the rest so please do the game type I suggest in the thread. This map is more fun with many people Hideout Hideout This map does not have ramps that throw you in the sky or some other contraption this is just a solid map that bungie could put into match making and it would play really well. 2 main bases with bridges connecting them from the top. 2 side mini bases align the other sides. sword in bottom middle while sniper is on top middle. both main bases have a main stair entrance with 3 shield door entrances on the bottom. see slide show to know what I mean. The Octagon The Octagon I am a huge MMA Fan so I made this map. this map has ever weapon known in the halo forge world at your disposal to use in the octagon. 2 to 16 people pick out their weapon and enter the octagon by gravlift once you are in the octagon take your sides and start the fight. winner is stuck in the octagon with only the weapons from the previous battle at his disposal while losers get to pick all new weapons.
Since you are new let me give you some feedback. You should not double post. If these maps belong in different forums, then post them separately. Do not post the same thread twice. I would suggest posting them all individually anyway. Big map-packs posts don't usually get much attention. It makes you look as though you are too lazy to follow proper map-posting protocols. Speaking of protocols. If you are going to post maps (either individually or grouped together) you need pictures embedded in the post for each map. The lack of embedded pictures will definitely get you some negative feedback. If you don't know how to do this, read the link below: Read before posting In fact, you should read it anyway. Especially since you are new. It gives the guidelines for the forums and tips. It looks like you spend a lot of time on maps, so if you want them to get the attention they deserve, spend just a little more time to follow the guidelines. Peace out, and happy forging!
wow I just thought it would be more convenient for the forum if I put the maps in one thread my bad. also there is a slide show on all the linked map threads. but whatever I guess a mod can delete these threads and i will make new threads for each one
I asked a mod, and they said it was ok to have the multiple maps together. I was just suggesting it might work better for you if you posted them separately. The only real issue with the post was the lack of embedded pics. That is a must, per guidelines. It also helps you, because you will get more downloads, compliments, and ratings if people can see the map without having to jump through hoops. Example: Right now i have to click the link for a map here, then wait for your Bungie thread to load up, then click the screenshot link there and wait for ImageShack to load up, then wait for the slideshow to scroll through all the pictures. Then i have to repeat the process for each of your 10 maps. I guarantee that most people will not do this, and will move on to the next thread. Also "Octogon" has no screens link at all. If you want to leave this in one thread, fine. Just make sure to embed at least a couple of descriptive pics for each map. If you would rather post them separately, then PM any of the mods to lock this and the other thread if you would like them to. As far as the maps themselves (and to put the thread back on topic, pending pics), I have seen some of these maps before on Bungie, and am looking forward to seeing your maps get a proper reception, here. The "Dragon" would fit in nicely in the "Aesthetic" section.
