    Elongate is a remake of the map Elongation from Halo 2 that looks and plays very much like the original. Elongation was an amazing map and it did not receive enough credit in Halo 2. In order to try to solve this, I decided to remake it for the Forgotten Treasures Competition.

    Recommended Players 4 - 8


    Supported Gametypes:
    -Team Slayer
    -Slayer
    -CTF
    -KOTH
    -Oddball
    (Elongate plays especially well with Team Slayer, Team SWAT, 2 Flag, and Team KOTH)


    Weapons and Equipment:
    4 Battle Rifles (20 sec)
    2 Shotguns (150 sec, 0 clips)
    2 Brute Shots (60 sec, 1 clip)
    4 SMGs (30 sec)
    2 Plasma Rifles (20 sec)
    2 Magnums (10 sec)
    2 Plasma Pistols (30 sec)
    1 Power Drain (120 sec)
    4 Frag Grenades
    4 Plasma Grenades


    In order to try to recreate the moving conveyor belt, I have done something with the crate spawn times

    This is really good. Im sure it plays well enough. I made Longest and was pretty sure I was in the top 3 best maps, but this looks great. 4.7/5 P.S You should fuse the ramps to the platform.

    Yeah love how similar it is to halo 2, its very nostalgic! Great remake very similar to the origional, and I agree it was an underrated map well done for making it most certain dl! Something it lacks (not your fault) is the moving blocks if there was anyway to incorperate this i think i would pop a vein! Great map 5/5!!!

    Looks like you finally gathered the balls to post your map on Forgehub. In any case ,for the one of you who said "Im not sure how it plays", it plays incredible. I tested this map with him while it was in construction and it played exactly like the original. All the weapon placements were great, phenomenal interlocking, and it's near the exact proportions of the original. And I'm sure he's worked out the bugs in the spawns by now. It's a 5 star map, for sure.

    You could, you know, put in a grav lift on a weapon holder underneath them if you made a fake floor

    Yeah right. First off, that means you'd have to floor the whole map, or at least a large portion of it, which he can't afford to do. Second off, that would push the boxes so that they'd flip over and all over the place, as well as making it impossible for a spartan to actually walk over it. That has got to be one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. No offense.

    No, making a workable conveyor belt the length of the map would be near impossible

    Wow. i am amazed! the map is completely perfect imo. this map should deserve more attention. i like the thing that looks like a conveyor belt. ive been trying to create a working conveyor belt my self like pallet parade, but it didnt work all the time i could just do that. 5/5 great map and i think it should be featured

    I'm sorry, but I had to say this. The name of this is the best "That's what she said" thing.

    Otherwise, this is a great map. It seems exactly like the original map. I'll give it a try.

    wow, is it just me or did Twilight Snipe freak out a little, it was just an idea. but good job with the map, i would say that its the best remake of this map. becasuse of sandbox and the items, it increases the odds of making it better than foundry. for the conveyor belt, its nice it respawns in a couple sec. but it seems that 20 sec. its enough...maybe a min. or 2? and by the pictures the BR respawns with the boxes. maybe place the BR somewhere else so there is more within the whole map period. ok, well thats all of my personal feelings on some changes. for the rest of the map, its nice, it looks nice. great job with the remake.

    About your comment with the boxes spawn times, the way I set it up recreates the first thirty seconds of the actual map. In the Halo 2 version Elongation, the boxes would slowly move in from the conveyor belt. Mine does the same, just by appearing out of nowhere instead of actually moving in

    Oh this is a sick map and great idea. I love most of the remakes from Halo 2 and Halo, but this one is really good. Great job.

    The spawning boxes made me laugh.

    Feels like a good remake although I don't think the walkways were quite as wide.

    I do like your creative use of replacing the conveyor belts. And it looks like an accurate remake. :D

    Laugh in a good way? lol
    If you are looking at the shotgun walkway, you are correct. The walkways in the original were slightly skinnier. Not all of us are as exact in our remakes as you are xD
