Download Redemption: Bungie.net : Bungie Online : Halo 3 File Details The Story Of Redemption: Stuff Mentioned below has to do with adifferent site. Well, Redemption was my CFO (Conditional Forge Off) Submission. I made it 2 days before i left to Hawaii, so i wouldnt have to rush at the end to make a map. Well, i guess i rush in all my maps cause this project took only 6 HOURS! Even Adelyss was speechless when i told him i was done. The original verson of "Redemption" was more of a cool idea at first. The idea was to have a FCL, (Or Fusion Coil Launcher). The Launcher was interlocked and aimed at the 'Higher Defense Side' or the 'Catwalks' above the map (Ill explain those later). It would launch 2 fusion coils at a time on trigger, producing a 6 shot coil launching machine using the min/max trick. It was originaly called the Anti-Camp Device, do to its feature of preventing camping/snipers on the higher levels of the map. This didnt turn out as well as i thought, resulting in the 'Beta Redemption' or the one i submited into the CFO. After Hawaii, i came back, and ended up in 2nd place behind Adelyss, but ended up beating the maps that scared me the most. I had tested xRednormandyx's "Rewired" map, and i was in shock, i loved it and it wasnt even done! He ended up in 4th sadly, but still had a great map. I kept editing Redemption a little at a time, fixing spawns and weapons. Adelyss mentioned the Rocket was alittle out of reach, so i entered forge and made some steps to the Rocket (See pictures). Well, as i said, the 'catwalks' were a camp spot, but the little cover helped otherwise, so in the end it turned out great. Since thats a hell of alot of information that most people dont read, ill now move on to the less boring stuff.

it seems to me that people just choose a name that sounds cool for their map title, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the map...anyway, on to rating. it seems to me that the structures are well merged, but a little sloppy in some parts, and a tendency to have an upright staircase (?) it also seems a little open in a few parts, but it could be easily fixed. sorry if i sound a little harsh, but you seem to have a great idea of how to forge already, and i am expecting some great maps in the future
Wow.. RPAL, your just now joining Forgehub? I thought you were already here.... Anyway, It is a nice looking map, although when we played it in the SNS, the game-play felt one-sided.... Maybe it's because Team BR Trance kicked our little unorganized a**es =P. I do like what you did with the middle structure (we couldn't delete that).... Why did you call it Redmeption anyway?
good map but next time stager the text and pics because you have slot of text all in one spot. Also nice interlocking I really liked the house thing in the middle.
personally i think this map looks its your first time interlocking and merging but that's just my opinion. Overall 3.5/5 from me. U did a good job. I can tell u took your time on this map which is good.
Thank you guys, and no this is not my first time doing that stuff, i have about 5-6 other maps not on this site yet, and all are very well made. Yea the staircases are the item i use to give it alittle more originality then just boxes. Thank you. Thank you, its made for 1 sided varients. But i also think its the fact that BR Trance kicked your ass (lol jk). Anyway thanks everyone and u should see more in the future. Also yes the name was choosen when i couldnt think of another one, and i needed to get one for the competition.
Space You have a lot of empty space, but from what I can see, you are a very creative forger and could fill it up easily. Also, I thought your interlocking and geomerging in this map was brilliant!
I dont know how gameplay could be like in this game because the middle seems very crowded and I dont think I would personally hang around that area. Map looks good tho, there are some crazy looking sculptures too
Not bad at all, but a few things bother me. First, the map name is rather misleading...it just kinda sounds cool. But more importantly, your interlocking/geomerging feels and looks completely unnecessary. Yes, both are an important part to very well done maps, but yours just feels tossed in. In the Forging 101 for interlocking, the author recommended only using interlocking/geomerging when necessary. Most of this map feels like it was forced...not something that naturally flowed out of an original concept. You've clearly got a great grip on the more advanced techniques, and as it only took six hours, you're efficient as well. Try coming at maps from a college English course sort of view: you'd never write a 15-page research paper by just sitting down and going at it. Yeah, you might finish it quickly, but it would lack coherence, clarity, and uniformity. Try and come up with a thesis (or, in Forging, a theme/idea/concept) that every piece on your map will support. That way, each and every facet of your map reflects the original intention of your conceptualized ideas. Hope that helps, keep up the skilled work!
Thank you, the empty space is for the Asemetric Hog. Thats because its supposed to be made asemetric for One sided games. It seems to flow extremely well with One-Flag and One-Bomb. Thank you, the reason for the forced merges was because it was for a Forge Compitition. We had to use a centerpiece: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll295/Adeiphos/CFO.jpg I actualy came in second against some pretty good forgers. Again, thats everyone for the comments.
I don't see why this is getting so little attention. I like this map and it shows that you are getting better and better. BTW, it has Red in it. lol
