Relic Remake

This is one of the best remakes I've seen and I'm sure a lot of people are going to be happy about this. One question did you make a functioning switch teleporter.

 

I think this is a great remake but I think you could have made this more neater but I say 4/5 I like the gameplay too

 

This is a fantastic idea, nice to see some creativity... you thought outside the box and made a map within a map. Your Aesthetics could have been cleaner.. it looks a little rough and I believe if you spend some more time on your next map youll understand what Im talking about. It may take a ton of Saving&Quiting but I promise itll be worth it. over all its a wonderful map and you recreated Relic almost to smallest detail. I just feel it could have been a bit more clean with the Interlocking.

well done.

 

The downed Pelican, sniper tower, and back of the main structure look great to me (though...MORE PICS!). However, the top front of the main structure, where the flag is on CTF games, looks to be rather inaccurate. Don't forget that jumping back and forth between that middle fence is a huge part of offensive CTF strategy.

Other than those minors griping points, this looks very well made...and you were definitely right about not using Foundry for this one. Keep up the excellent work!

 

Please forgive my ambiguity. I was rather tired when I posted.

On the very top of the defensive main structure, it forms a sort of narrow triangle with the flag at the end. If the offense were rushing the flag from the back of the base, going towards the flag, there is an area right before the flag where they must go either right or left (or they can jump on top of the divider). You have what appears to be a single wall interlocked into the floor. However, in the actual Relic map, that divider was much longer, with a space in the middle to allow the offensive team to switch from the left side to the right side. It allowed a deadly game of a Cat 'N Mouse to be played, which often ended with the flag somehow making its way off the platform. For me, that part of the map is essential to gameplay. As your picture shows, the divider seems so short it might be rendered useless.

All this is merely a suggestion though. I hope that this clears it up a bit.

 

this was literaly my favorite map from halo2. thanks alot for remaking it. the tower looks a little bit messy though. but as soon as i get my xbox back (RROD) im downloading.

 

the covt tower always got abused if you played zombies on it. So good job i guess. haha

 

I think this remake will be unrivaled so congratz on making something amazing, but I do, unfortunately have two problems with this master piece. First of all, most if not all of the weapons and vehicles are all set to a 30 second respawn, you should change that so that more powerful weapons and vehicles take longer to spawn, etc. Secondly, the front of the Relic is a bit sloppy, but you said yourself you're going to make another version with bridges that are flipped so w/e. Other than that the Relic is pretty cleanly forged so again, congradulations.

 

Looks cool. ima DL

 

I remember playing the first version, that you posted up on Bungie.net. Glad to see you corrected some of the problems with the structure's floor by placing bridges there. I wish I could make my maps on avalanche look this good, too bad I can't.

 

Well, this has been sitting on the HD for a while, but I've finally sat down and did a forgethrough of the map...

It took me a couple of seconds for me to realize what it was, because I thought I loaded up another map (specifically, one of the floating UNSC ship maps), but I took a double take, and recognized the main structure immediately.

I know that it's not 100% straight, but considering that you're not dealing with a perfectly flat floor (that we've all come to know and love in Foundry), you've certainly done a good job.

One thing that I've noticed was that there was no "switch" to open the teleporter. I'd imagine that just putting a stack of fusion coils there over the spawn would work in lieu of some intricate "power up to fusion coil to gravlift to whatever" switch.

Also, talking about teleporters, I found it kinda odd, but somewhat acceptable way that you did the alien sniper tower. When I initially saw it, I thought it was just decor, and that the teleporter leads off of a cliff or something. Ideally, you would have a grav lift that leads to the top, but again, it's understandable, and a fairly decent substitue.

One more thing that I found out. Along the center of the wall that blocks off the other half of the map: There's a spot on the wall where you can grenade jump and get out of the map. Remember, if you can get out as a monitor, you can get out as a player.
