    I was never a huge fan of that map, but this looks like a really good remake. Everything seems to be pretty accurate to the original with the exception of the size and trench. As someone else said, take the pictures outside of forge. It looks better. I think you could have posted some more pictures, too. Good job overall.

    I ran around this for a good bit a couple nights ago, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed with how faithful this was to Tombstone. You've one a real nice job recreating it.

    Though, I will admit that it does seem a bit unpolished, and while it is pretty accurate, many spots on the map could use for a it more interlocking to make some ramps and walls meet up for smoother, even more accurate gameplay.

    You definitely did a good job, and its just a bit short of being amazing. Next time you forge on Sandbox, don't delete the default objects on the map. This takes away from your Item Limit and ultimately, you'll have less items to forge with. Just spawn items in teh crypt and use those til you run out of money, then run Sandbox's default items through a teleporter down into the crypt and use those to finish the map off. Seems you're just a few pieces away from being able to really make this an outstanding remake.. though it may still be doable with whats present.

    Hopefully we'll see a v2 of this map, because the potential is very high. Cheers.

    unfortunately, you can't interlock with any of the items from the original map, unless you merge them into other items that you have placed and such.. so It sota ruins the items' usefulness. I would like to see some spawns and maybe a few more pics, without the grid, and playtesting.. overall great remake 3.5/5

    Yea, I helped cameokazi make this map. He was not that familiar with interlocking objects so that's why there are some dodgy bits and the spawns are not that well placed either so when you download you can fix it up.

    .....and yes me and him are working on a v2 ;)

    that's not true. Yes, you will have trouble trying to interlock pieces into the default ones, but you can interlock the default pieces into new ones perfectly fine

    Great map and looks like an accurate remake. The gameplay reminds me of exactly what it was like in Halo 2. Great job :D

    I think I would have to agree with most of the other posters on here about the interlocking in the map, but the layout looks extremely faithful to Tombstone. Some interlocking and a little straightening would be nice, but this is certainly worth a download. 4/5 :)

    awesome repost when its finished. Also try to make the path ways slightly bigger they are way to thin right now and i know you still have a decent ammount of $ left. If you do these things this will be a great map.

    After playing it for awhile I have to give it a 3/5 but when its all fixed up you can expect a 5/5 :D

    Agreed. This map immediately felt like Hang Em High, and it's really hard to make a remake feel like the original. I can only think of one map before this that accomplished that. Even then I think this is more successful. You do need to clean the map up considerably, and you should because this map could be a gem in the forging community.

    You actually can, the objects just have a delayed time counter before the disappear. So when you start a new round the objects will still be there, but after 20 seconds or so the objects vanish. It's odd and glitchy, but interlocking can be done.

    I would clean this map up ASAP before someone redoes it and beats you to the punch.

    This looks like a prefect remake. I dont see anything you could fix except maybe interlocking a little to make things neater.

    I really want to see some more remakes of halo 1 and 2 maps. Keep them coming bros :D
