    For all you that play Halo 3 you should give this a try.
    Me and my friend took 6 hours today to remake Canals from Gears of War on Foundry...it's worth a look.

    It looks very good and looks very close to the original.

    You should do Grid Lock also, that map was one of my favorites.

    Hey this actually looks kind of fun.
    Kudos to you for having a more original remake than everyone else's Halo 1 and 2 remakes.
    Seems like you paid good attention to details. I'm going to DL it and check it out.

    Gridlock would be a bit unbalanced in Halo's enviroment I think.
    Too much open space. But yea, I loved that map in GOW also.

    EDIT BY MOD: Try not to double-post, bro. =)

    Okay, I downloaded this map and checked it out in Forge, but I havent had a chance to play it yet.

    First thing I thought was "Wow, awesome job!"

    It really does feel like Canals!! You did great re-creating the map! Congrats.
    Like I said I havent played the level yet, but it seems fun. This will be a keeper, I have a feeling.

    The only problem I noticed with the map is that you can easily escape the level boundaries.
    Not that you would have any reason to, but I think we have all noticed that there are certain
    players (some from FH) who seem determined to NOT play the map as its intended
    and just focus all their attention on escaping the map and trying to break how it plays.

    Perhaps raise up the outer walls so no one can escape?

    Thank you, Zawa, for contributing towards a better community. Feel free to post your map, though...but I suggest you have a link to his map as well, and let the community decide which one they like better. As long as credit is given where it's due, everyone ought to be happy. :)

    Now that I think about it, it really does look quite a bit similar to the Gears of War map. - Brute Captain
