V398's Gorge Created by superMATTsuper The crew of V-398 are quite annoyed when they crash landed into another gorge... this curious gorge. 2-8 Players Base: Foundry Supports all built in game types, works best with 2 team objective games. Story: This map is inspired by Valhalla and is essentially Valhalla for smaller parties. You probably gathered that from the name/description. It was made to work with all gametypes, but works best with 2 team objective games (CTF, Assault). Enjoy! This is my third map. Description: So, it has a central 'hill', two bases and four 'caves' - each two double boxes in a upside down L shape, if that makes sense. The weapons are set up similiar to Valhalla, too. And the vehicles - each base has a ghost, warthog and 2 mongooses. They also have a SR and RL. The 'caves' hold grenades and either a shotgun or two BRs. In the middle, on the hill, there is a SL. There is also a fairly good sniper spot on top of each base. One of the bases. The central hill. Download V398's Gorge
Looks pretty basic and unoriginal from the pics, maybe add a few more to get more DL, and if the name is "gorge" maybe it should looks like one?
I do like your idea of "Valhalla for smaller parties," but this looks very bare and basic. Valhalla is an open map with vehicles, but perhaps include some more ground cover if you are going to include vehicles, as people will be eaten alive by hogs, at least people on foot. I suggest adding a couple more strucures also. You could also just consider taking vehicles out completely, because when I saw it at first it looked to be promising without the vehicles. Speaking of pictures you might want to add a couple more, or if you did indeed show all of your map, maybe just some action pics. No download from me, but I like the idea a lot, and I think you should make a v2. Good Job. Keep Forging.
Your post could use a few more pics. Your attempt at minimizing Valhalla was creative, but since the characteristics of Valhalla are big, it would be difficult to shrink that. Your map looks fine, the bases are reasonable, but I would fill the middle a bit more. One thing from Valhalla that may be important to its feel is that you couldn't shoot your opponents from one base to the other. Overall, this would have been a difficult remake. Foundry is just too tight.
the map looks ok. its not amazing but pretty basic. i would try to create some more unique strustures. i would try to mess around more with forging. let me know if you need help with anything in forge.
First of all Foundry is way to small to have two warthors and two ghots. Maybe just have a ghost and a mongoose. I like the idea, but since it is so small you cant really nail the gorge like affect. This would acually be a great reamake for Sandbox if you plan to get the maps. Better luck next time.
also it would be easy to grab te camos and overshields you should interlock them with the boxes i dont really get the point of trying to remake a map thats already on halo3 but thats just me and the vehicles needd to be removed because the area is to small
I'll admit that it's a fairly fail map, though keeping in mind it IS one of my older ones, so I'm not as bad at forging anymore (I don't think). It's not an entirely original map either. And next time, I'll interlock the overshields/camos. When I tested, I was just fighting my bro, so we didn't even use the hogs . But there was the rocket launchers to counter them, so I figured they were OK...obviously not. So thanks for all the replies - I'll keep in mind what was said.
