    this is my first Halo 3 Map post here on Forgehub
    But if been looking around the site for about a year.
    feel free to rip it to shreds. ill be releasing a v2 in about a month.

    Okay So those of us who played Halo 2 Must remember Warlock
    Those fierce ffa's or the awesome multi team games.
    About 6 months ago i was looking around forgehub
    and i saw a remake of warlock. so i dLd and it needed some improvement.
    im not one to steal someone elses work so i started from scratch.

    So Here is my Masterpiece.
    4-8 players recommended,
    plays Koth,Hill,Slayer,and everything else but those 3 are the most fun.

    Weapons,
    4 shotguns, note they are each on 120 sec respawn.
    4 Battle rifles
    2 SMGs
    2 Carbines
    2 Needlers
    2 Plasma rifles
    2 Spikers
    5 plasma nades
    5 Frag nades
    1 inviso
    1 power drain
    1 bubble shield
    1 regen
    1 Flare

    Now for pics!

    The Middles structure which has the two smgs
    1frag 1plasma an inviso.

    [​IMG]

    Each outer room is identical but the weapons.
    2 have needler, and the other 2 have carbine. and one frag in each.
    and there is a power drain in 1, bubble shield, flare, and a regen each in all the others.

    [​IMG]

    the teleporters which just take you to the othe side of the map.

    [​IMG]

    each corner looks like this

    [​IMG]

    underneath each middle structure.
    there is either a spiker or a plasma rifle
    and a plasma gernade.

    thanks for any body who gave this a 5
    and please comment on what i need to change in the v2.

    Sorry, pictures ar not working. fix them by:

    go to bungie.net, click at the screenshot, and then again to download it.
    go to photobucket.com, create an account and upload the pictures. Copy the [ img] code thing, and paste it in the thread. Nice, working screenshots...

    I may leave another comment after you did this...

    Hmm, it looks pretty good, but it looks from the pictures, like everything is kinda, not where it should be, like its all uneven i guess you could say. The interlocking isnt that bad, but the design , it needs work. 2.5/5. Maybe a V2 with a more thought up design?

    It's nice to see another attempt at a remake. Ignore the guy above me (JakeyFreeHa).
    In any case, apart from the screenshots not working, and my not being able to DL right now, I have to say that I feel that you should have made the weapon set identical to the Halo 2 version, or at least have a version of the map in which the weapons are the same.


    Liking: A remake! We need more. But good ones, ya know? This is good.


    Disliking: Weapon selection. Make a balanced one for Halo 3, and one with Halo 2 weapons, for nostalgia's sake.

    At first glance this looks like any other ordinary remake. When you look into it in a little more detail it becomes obvious that it isn't though. This is a map with tons of effort put forth into it so that it can be the best that it can be. Warlock is not the easiest map to remake because of some of its impossible architecture and the strange theme that really subtracts form realism since it is impossible to get the same feel down.

    However this map has done it quite well. There is still room for improvement though. For example, the middle structure. you were very magnanimous with the effort put into this but I recommend trying to redo the middle more realistically next time. I know making a 4 way box type structure is hard but you could do it by angled signs which would have the same effect and make i look better at the same time. You can't lose.

    Also, I don't know about you but the look of weapons on weapon holder is terrible and it equals bad aesthetics. In my resources section at the bottom of this post you will find a guide on how to mount weapons on walls. This would clean your map up and make it look much better. Another resource is how to geomerge immovable objects which could be used to make your gravity lift indestructible. this would make your map look almost like you are getting paid for it.

    Overall i want to end on some good notes and I can say that this is a good map. The interlocks are very clean and that is bound to help gameplay and the recreation factor is outstanding. Some bad points include bad aesthetics with the weapon holders. Some neutral points are the gravity lift idea which is not necessary but it might as well be incorporated as it cannot turn out bad. It Can only improve.

    Merging immovable objects
