Castle Wars Remember Runescape? If you do, this map is going to bring back memories. Download Castle Wars Map Download Castle Wars Gametype Description:When I got the Mythic Maps, I went through many ideas of remakes of Halo and non-Halo games and maps. With a little bit of help from my friend Dragon Ninja0, we came up with a remake of a minigame from an MMO we used to play when we were younger. It is basically a Capture the Flag game that is as closely related as we could get to the original (hitting the object limit didn't really help). Here it is: After finishing this floor, we remembered that we needed a bottom floor just like the original game. This floor (which is just another path between the two bases) is pretty much a big figure-8 and is connected at the ends to the supply rooms (bottom floor) in the two bases in the sky bubble. Here's the bases: Red base Blue base ...And here's these things again: Download Castle Wars Map Download Castle Wars Gametype
This looks very nice and fun I will download this but you could have did a better job on the figure 8 area.
Would you have any suggestions on how I could rework it? I hit the object limit one or two items after finishing the 8.
I agree, it does look good and seems to resemble the real deal but the downstairs is sloppy and the battle field is too small, and the building in the middle is WAY too small. I suggest making a second version to fix these flaws, otherwise it looks pretty fun to play on and I will download it on Thursday when the maps come out . EDIT: For fixing it try interlocking (http://www.forgehub.com/forum/forging-101/36128-advanced-interlocking-merging.html). EDIT (again): also try adding a roof to the bottom floor, its not really a cave without one.
I used to play runescape, back in the day. The only thing i can seggest is making your only weapon a sword, and finding a way to make the only way to go down by teleporter
amg, I used play RS a lot. Even though it wasnt the best game out there, Castle Wars was very fun. Downloadin fo sho
Although it does look like a fairly faithful remake of the original there would be something you need to add so its playable for halo - cover. If the players have no cover and they are playing capture the flag then they are just pretty much dead, put some walls and blocks in the area between the two castles. Also you might need to make the 'stepping stone path' much longer, at the moment they can pretty much jump straight over. Pretty good map and a cool idea, maybe needs a few improvements but still pretty cool.
Hmmm..I don't have Sandbox, but I did play Runescape..the only suggestions I could say is possibly interlock the floor (idk if its bumpy on sandbox), MAYBE move everything to the middle level(idk, you cant really fall off the edge in cw) but..yeah straightening the tunnels and middle structure. Also, you should open up the little halls in each castle, you should add like an armory where the usual armory is, like put deployable covers, grav lifts (ropes), trip mines/grenades (the bomb potions), and...idk what else really. maybe having stairs instead of teleporters between levels, but I understand why you did that though. I give it a 4/5 myself, its pretty innovative
I used to play runescape also, lvl 86, BIGGEST WASTE OF MY TIME. Castle wars was alright I guess. But I would think it would be better as a halo version, once I get the maps I will download just to see how it plays.
Ok, just got home. The gametype fixes up some of the issues brought up. As people have brought up, I did do a lot of interlocking in the map to get the surfaces just right. As penguin assassin said, you do start with a sword, but if you have play rs before, I used magnums for range, and plasma pistols for mage (both of which can be found in the supply rooms). An issue was brought up with cover, from the games I've played on it there really hasn't been much need past what is there considering the majority of the weapons are close-range. With the stepping stone path the gametype fixes that also. The gravity is very high, just as you were not able to jump in rs. As hitman syaler33 said, there is a lot of that stuff in the supply rooms, just as in the original game and the supply room has stayed true in that the supply rooms are in the same place. Hope this clears some things up.
Lol, me and my friends used to play RS. This looks like a pretty nice re-creation of their best mini-game. Even though I don't usually play capture the flag, I'm going to DL this just for the nostalgia.
Nice map. You should try to make the middle part bigger and make the figure-eight better. For the middle you can make circlish shapes out of walls and put small ramps on the top to give it a castle-like look.
I used to love Castlewars. Overall I like the idea and the map looks decent but it does seem sloppy in some parts. Mabey to make the map bigger and save on materials you could of made it on the middle level. That way you would not need to make a floor and could spend all your materials on the castles and the other scenery.
I used to play RS all the time b4 i got my 360, ive had about 800 tickets one problem i see is being able to fall off, and the caves have a ladder on each side in the middle section. if possible you should try putting fusion coils as rocks to drop on people also. i was planning on making one of these so if this is beastly il use it instead of mine EDIT: I also reccomend keeping it on the sky bubble because of size, but try not using as many objects if you can.
The first time i looked at this map, i didn't understand it. But then, i read about how this is a close remake to castle wars on R.S. (runescape). Now im downloading it for sure
interesting...I was thinking about making one of these...hm... the middle could be a little better and remember its a two story little bunker thing lol
Ok, I've been playing a bit on here and I'm going to post a revision of the gametype and map in a couple of days. I've just got a few kinks to work out.
