What's up. I'm a bit new to the forums here (as you can see), but i have a question. Has anyone been cooking up some Tower of Power maps? I know I absolutely LOVED ToP back in my halo 2 custom game days. And as we all know ascension was the prime map to play it on, and I know there's a remake of ascension. A friend and I got bored and made a map just for ToP last weekend, and while it's not pretty, I think it would be really balanced in play. It's really raw at this point, and we have to fix some things, but it's pretty sweet imo. Just wondering if anyone has put some cool maps out there meant specifically to play this awesome gametype on.
dont post this question here, just post maps here but for your question, i think there has been a couple of them, idk, im pretty new here too, but dont post questions anymore on the perticular forum, just competitive maps on this one
Please read the tacked guidelines of how to properly post you're map. I'm sure its a good map and worth viewing so please include embedded screenshots, a detailed description, and a link to the B.net forum. Thanks. Heres the link on to how to post correctly: http://www.forgehub.com/home/index.php?topic=1471.0
ok thanks guys.... minus chrome didn't ask for a fight. But where would i post my question? Couldn't really find an appropriate forum
haha ok thanks. Your map is very cool I checked it out. Somewhat similar to mine, but also a lot different. I'm not done with it yet, and I will use the search engine in the future.
yeah me and my friend tried making a tower of power map before, but the problem is you can remove the turret, that was the only problem we ran into.
Yeah I was left extremely aggravated with Bungie for not including permanently stationary turrets. I've made maps that have had turrets that should be left where they are but people just won't play that way. I tried making it so the turret doesn't respawn, but that doesn't stop people either. But then it hit me; I just had an awesome idea how to do it and before I reveal it to you all, I'm going to go make it myself :squirrel_giggle:
Yeah someone recomended to me to try using a warthog as the turret and making it so you can't move the warthog, but i have been doing other stuff, so i haven't tried this yet.
Yeah, you got my idea. Use the warthog turret and set it so that vehicle use is restricted to passenger only and make vehicles indestructible. But before I even got to that step, I built the tower, put the hog on top, and I couldn't aim low enough to shoot anything on the ground. So I created a ramp like thing so that the hog was tilted down, but still the lowest available aiming point was at the same elevation, so that kinda screws over making a tower but if you wanted to place a warthog on the lowest level that could work, but I can't think of any particularly good uses for it.
well you could try to put the hog so that you have the front end on top of a box and the turret pointing down towards the ground, know what i mean? So that the hog is on an angle, then maybe you would have full range of motion. Bungie should consider putting in an option to make the turrets immovable for certain gametypes or something. That way you could have both ends of the spectrum
My idea is to make it 'Elephant of Power.' The elephant has a non-removable turret that can look downwards, and the elephant is essentially a mobile base. It has two levels, so teammates can protect the turreteer. It has two entrances. The game will have lots of cover, teleporters, many bubble shields, and lots of deployable cover to aid in assaulting the elephant. However, my problem is having only one elephant.
This is a Tower of Power map I made a while ago on Guardian. It did VERY well. (400+ Downloads). The map is small so it involves more teamwork and communication. It's been tweaked a lot and is incredibly fun. CLICK ME! Here is the gametype: CLICK ME TOO!
There have been a lot of ToP maps through this forum over the past months, but none of them were able to re-create the feel of ascension. =( I played one that Esponeo made a while back, he had come up with the warthog as the turret thing long ago before all this, i thought it was awesome.
I said I did that and it didn't work. There is a set angle in relation to the ground that limits how low you can shoot regardless of the angle of the warthog.
ok i gotcha, i guess i didn't understand that from the original post. But i guess for customs you're in you can just tell your friends "dont detach the turrets". I mean I'm sure people would listen most of the time, and if not just boot them from the game haha.
Well in the version I posted you can still detach turrets, however it's really not much of an advantage and the turrets take a while to respawn. Seriously, try it out.
