    INSERTION - Foundation Reimagined

    download link: Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details

    Originally "Excavation" by OctoDeath, a remake of Foundation from Halo 2. Sandbox 2 is its base map.

    OctoDeath tried for a faithful remake of Foundation and did an excellent job. The original and this one are almost indistiguishable. Of course, he added a few new elements, the Regen and the Bubble Shield, but otherwise it's quite faithful.

    I always felt that Foundation, while a fun map, was somewhat broken. I'm sure those who are more interested in balanced gameplay than I am could even further make changes to this map (and you're welcome to), but I made some distinct changes already:

    - The "hiding rooms" at each corner of the map have been replaced with a shallow alcove, each of which holds only two frag grenades.

    - Rockets are no longer on either side of the map, but one set of rockets has replaced the sword in the center. I always felt there were too many power weapons on this map.

    - I'm sure the MLG folks will hate this, and I don't mind you finding your own fix for this, but I replaced the original rocket spawns with Power Drainers. You're welcome to replace all "items" with weapons, however.

    - NO MORE TURRETS. They've been replaced with two plasma grenades.

    - I just realized the fusion coils are still there, but oh well. You can change that if you like.

    Supports 4-8 players (slayer tested only)

    Weapons/Respawn Time
    2 brs/30
    1 rocket/90
    2 shotguns/?
    4 pistols/?
    8 frags/30
    12 plasmas/30

    Here's the download link again: Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details

    Here's the screenshots:

    An overhead shot. As you can see, OctoDeath had a pretty amazing remake.

    Shows that Rockets have replaced sword, and turrets are now gone.

    The gigantic caves into which players originally spawned are now shallow grenade alcoves. They can delay death, but not for long (or Ever completely).

    Just another shot showing OctoDeath's amazing precision and handiwork.

    Hope you all enjoy it or find a way to make it better.

    So you just used someone's exact remake and changed the weapons to what you like...

    That's rediculas and stupid. Don't post it up on forgehub if you didn't make it.
    This website has a strict map stealing policy,

    whoopdy doo, you said he made it, but it doesn't matter. You just removed a bunch of weapons from a really close to exact remake, and replaced them with grenades, and swapt the sword for rockets.

    I played this map, THE ORIGINAL and it was fine. it accually had good gameplay and aesthetics, the onl;y problem i saw was that it was escapeable.

    go forge your own map a place a bunch of grenades

    Sorry I changed a map. lol. I figured if I gave credit where credit was due, it didn't matter. I'll probably actually try to make a map on my own now. My dream was always to change foundation, and OctoDeath gave me that opportunity. I thought if the map was fun to play, for anyone, and I said where I got the original, then it would be a crime Not to post.

    I'll try to make my own stuff now. Sorry folks!
