This is my remake (reworked the map) of the map Standoff. Here is the post on bungie.net if you guys would like to check it out. http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=26618603&viewreplies=true This is my remake of the map Standoff. I dont consider it a "Heavy" version of the map but it packs alot more punch then the orignal. I havent been able to get anyone to help me test the map so I decided I would post it up on here and see if anyone would be interested in testing it out for me and giving some feedback. Changes Made: Added 2 banshees: 1 in the back of each base Added 6 mongeese: 2 infront of each base and 1 on top of each base Added 2 Sniper Rifles: 1 in each base next to door/window switch Added 2 Radar Jammers: 1 at each base side entrance Added 2 Turrets: located on second tier of base roofs Added 2 Man Cannons: 1 on top of each base firing towards missle silos (right of each base) Added 2 Shield Doors: 1 at each bases front left entrance Moved Rocket Launcher: Now located above base side entrances Added more ambient objects for visual and gameplay quality Reworked spawn locations Reworked weapon placements, spawn times, and ammo counts Added other weapons and grenades throughout map I would recommend to play it with 10-16 players on either Team Slayer or Multi-flag. I hope you guys enjoy.
a remake of a map that already exists on halo. i don't think so. either way you need pics, i'll be back in a sec with a tutorial
here it is. and to the guy above me, thats spam, don't just say needs pics, explain how. How to embed ur pics... first take them in theater simple really i recommened not in forge when u take the pics get them from a custom game... but 1. Open up your Internet Browser (I use Firefox) and go to our dearly belovedBungie.net, and go to My Stats/Find a Player. 2. Then, go to the right of the screen, to "People Finder". Make sure that it is set to Halo 3, and type in your Xbox-Live Gamer tag. Then click "Search" 3. You should then being on your Gamer Tag profile. Go to and click "Hi-Res screenshots". 4. Find the Screenshot you wish to embed, and click on it. Also, make sure pop-ups are allowed from Bungie.net. 5. A large version of the screenshot should come up in a separate window. Again, click the screenshot. 6. This should come up, asking you what program to open the screenshot with, or to save it to disk. For simplicities sake, just check off "Save to Disk" and the click "OK". 7. Depending what your preferences are, the picture could be saved to a number of places, if you are using Firefox, then this should come up. Click "Open" on the top one, which is more than likely the screenshot you are looking for. 8. An image viewing program displaying the screenshot should come up. Click the save option, in this case a floppy disk icon. 9.Save your image as a JPEG file, under a folder and name you can find later. Type the name in and click "Save". 10. Congrats, now you have your screenshot on your computer. Now onto: Part 3: Signing up for a Photobucket account, and uploading your screenshot to the internet. 1. Start by opening your internet browser, and going to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket. Why Photobucket? Cause I find that Imageshack is a pain and people seem to get nothing but thumbnail pictures from it, if they do try to embed their screenshots. Once there, click "Join Now" cause IT'S FREE! 2. Type in a username, and a password that you can remember. Then click "Next Step". 3. Now fill the form out, when you are done, click "I accept. Sign me up!" Note that none of that information is true to me. That is not my name, or birthdate, or anything. 4. Follow instructions from there. 5.Go to Login on Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket, type in your username and password, and then click "Login". 6. You should now be in your album. Find the section in the middle of the screen like the one below, and click "Choose Files", and make sure the size is set to 640x480. 7. An "Open File" window comes up. Now find your screenshot where you saved it, click on it, and then click "Open". Note that you can select more than one image before click "Open" by clicking your first image, and then (while holding down the SHIFT key) click on the other images you wish to add. 8. Give it time to save the screenshot on the internet. Click "Cancel" to stop uploading. 9. When it is done, this screen will come up. Give it a title and a description, or just skip that, and click "save and continue" 10. And now your screenshot is on the internet, ready to be embedded. Part 4: Embed your image in your post. 1. Go to your "my albums" on your photobucket page, which is located in the top navigation bar. Then, scroll down the page until you find your screenshot. 2. Click on the text in the space next to "IMG Code". This will automatically copy that link to your clipboard. 3. Go to post your Map Thread, and right click/Paste the IMG code (an image code is the direct link url of an image, in between [./img], but without the ".")[/SIZE] [SIZE=3][IMG]http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o46/onlykaproductions/embed6.jpg 4. Yay! no more post bout the pics ive handeled it... if this isnt working PM me i will fix
the pics are in the link but u still have to embed them. the map looks okay. but u just kind of rearranged the weapons. and its funny that u said "6 mongeese." 3/5 edit: okay, now it looks better. mancannons are in good places.
No offense, but i do not see the difference in playing this map or regular Standoff with the exception of the banshee which would, in slayer, be a huge advantage to the team controlling them and, in multi-flag, be irrelevant because a squad drives in in the warthog, gets an extirmination by the gunner, snatches the flag and drives off. The banshee would be useless or overly cheap to have. Trust me I have tried to have a banshee on Standoff and unless there is a readily available missle pod or splaser, you are pretty much screwed unless you are in a base. That means its only an amount of thime before they invade and slaughter your sorry arses across the floor. But I'll take your word that this map is different from the o.g. Standoff only because you added sniper rifles. That is my favorito-ist game. On a double exp weekend, playing Team Snipers on Standoff, completely B.A.
Alright, I'll cast my two cents in here seeing as you have only one constructive post, one which is both copied and pasted and unrelated to your map. Despite your lack of testing, description, use of tags, and earlier lack of pictures; this map does look somewhat better than the original standoff. The map isn't original in any aspect, and I mainly look for original maps to download, but that doesn't mean that this map can't play well. For your next map (if you decide to make one), try making a few geometry changes to the actual layout, changing game play whilst still making it play better than the original - that's what we look for in our maps. EDIT: Stupid fast poster above me, how dare you make a constructive post before I do?!
Well I started making this map with the idea of remaking the map to how I though it should be. It was never intended to be some ground breaking forge map or anything like that, I just wanted to make a map that was fun to play some normal games on with some friends. Bungie has released "Heavy" versions of maps so I thought I would take one of my favorite maps and put my own twist on it. I know everyone here is big on doing really cool and groundbreaking things with their maps but this just isnt one of those. So please try to keep that in mind while reviewing the map. I am sorry for making a less then medicore post earlier, I was rushed away to help with some things around the house and figured I could fix things later. I also am sorry for the lack of testing, I have been trying to get some tests going but I just can never get enough people that are willing to help out, but thank you everyone for your posts and your advice.
this is cool. but i think you should try coming up with some of your own ideas but yeah ill dl and get back to you
you made a remake, of a Halo map that bungie made? thats kinda un-original.. not very creative.. sorry, 2/5
