    COD4 SHOWDOWN
    [​IMG]
    A Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remake

    So, lately I've been checking out the remakes of Halo:CE and Halo 2 maps, and I have enjoyed replaying some old favorites. I used to play COD4 a pretty good bit also, so I figured why not make a remake of a Call of Duty map. I thought it over, and chose Showdown mainly because I thought it would be the easiest to remake (other than Shipment XD). This remake is designed to play like a regular Halo map, so no COD gametype is required. I know that some parts of this map are not to scale and some things are missing (I hit the OLN limit) but I believe you will find that this is a fairly accurate remake. So to all those Call of Duty fans out there, enjoy!

    Weapons
    (# on map / respawn time / clips)

    Battle Rifle: 6 / 10 / 2
    Carbine: 2 / 30 / 2
    Sniper: 1 / 120 / 2
    Mauler: 2 / 60 / 1
    Brute shot: 2 / 90 / 1
    Plasma rifle: 2 / 60 / -
    Needler: 1 / 90 / 1
    Energy Sword: 1 / 150 / -

    Plasma grenade: 8 / 10 / -
    Frag grenade: 4 / 10 / -

    Regenerator: 1 / 120 / -
    Power drain: 1 / 120 / -

    Now for some pics

    Sweet, this is one of my favorite maps from COD4. The aesthetics are decent, but you got the basic layout of the map, down, and it looks solid. Props for the statue too, but what about the big towers in the background?

    *acheivement popup* most accurate COD4 remake up to date-500 gamerscore

    this looks AMAZING. i am appalled.
    you got everything right! down to that tricky statue. except.... the weapons.

    there isnt swords in COD4 so why put them in there?
    id suggest using UNSC guns around the whole map so it actually feels like COD4, guns and all.
    This would be a lot better then using a carbine and being like wtf theres no guns that shoot green stuff in COD4.
    if you wanted a perfect remake id suggest changing the weapons
    the entire map looks exactly right (sept for the scale but who cares)

    grats man. i will defenatly be playing this once i go over to my friends house!
    i love it.
    555/5

    I must say it is awesome, but the sword room... eh. I already camped in there in COD4 but a SWORD. That is all :D.
    4.8/5

    First, thanks for the compliments.
    I wish I could have added the towers (they would be purely aesthetic though) but I did reach the OLN limit.
    Well, I see what you are saying about the weapons, but my thought was to create a Halo version of Showdown. Hence, Halo weapons and tactical jumps. After all, that's why we are playing Halo and not COD. I will consider having another version with COD rules and weapons, thanks for the idea.

    And honestly, the sword on this map is not a big issue IMO. I provided plenty of weapons to counter it. And there are always stickies ;)
    Thanks again guys! (and if you really think its a 5/5, you could rate the thread ;D but you dont have to)

    Wow, this is very impressive! It looks just like the COD4 version, great work with the layout. The map looks very smooth and organized. I like the weapon placement and choice of weapons. I am glad you put in halo 3 weapons, if people complain about Halo 3 weapons they should just go play COD4 =P. One of the main reasons I enjoy halo is the amount of interesting unique weapons, not just assault rifles and snippers. Great map, I downloaded and can't wait to play. Even though I don't have COD4 this map looks incredible!!! A definite 5/5 and I rated your thread. Niiiiice....

    PS: nice trees. Lol

    Thanks! I hope it didn't come off like I was begging for a rating, just none of my maps ever get rated. Halo 3 and COD4 both have their pros and cons, I just liked Showdowns layout and wanted to recreate it for Halo gameplay. Like you said, you can always play COD4 if you want that kind of gameplay ;D

    Oh yeah, and metal trees FTW!

    Thanks for all the comments guys, I'm glad you all like it. As far as the aesthetics of the map go, I had to slack off on some areas (including the statue) because of the OLN limit. But thanks again for the comments and I'll be looking for changes I might can make for another version.

    Appearance- 1.4-Work Of Art
    game play- 1.4-Exciting
    Originality- 0.4-Unique
    presentation- 0.4-Entertaining

    Over all= 4/5

    I like that you brought something that lots of people would love by bringing a great COD map to the table but I real wished that it was going to have a COD feel to it. :(
    Sadly to say it did not but over all i think it is a pretty nice remake.

    PS: Try to add a COD game type.

    Great remake. Even if I had come across this map randomly, and played it without knowing it's background or description, I'd figure out right away that it's Showdown from Cod4. So I guess that means you did an excellent job. The forging looks quite clean and even though you said you hit the object limit, it doesn't seem to show in the map which is good. Keep up the good work- 9/10 from me.

    Thanks again for all the positive feedback. Like I said earlier, this was designed to be played on Halo using the standard gametypes, and if you really want to play a COD4 map with a COD4 gametype you could always play COD4 ;). And as far as the copyright thing goes, I'm not an expert on the subject but I don't think you know what you are talking about. But I could be wrong...

    it is not, have you seen all the remakes here? plus this says cod4 remake, not original. it isnt copyright, as long as they acknowledge the map already does exist from something else.

    anyway back to the map. i downloaded and played free for all with 8 people, and i thought the map was amazing. i used my own cod4 gametype and the game worked out fine. in my opinion though, you are correct, better to play with halo game variant than cod4 because this is halo. just feels weird killing like instantly. and why would you be a member of the HALO forgehub, and want a cod4 gametype for HALO? i can understand it would be fun, but halo wasnt meant to recreate cod4, but he obviously stated that this was designed for halos game system. leave as is i think. good job. really close remake id give it a 4/5

    Dude i love this map so much especially the way took the map from cod4 and made it into halo3. Like the fact that is halo wepons on a cod map. i mean dude why would u complain about the weapons on halo not being cod4 weapons. If u want cod4 weapons so bad go play cod. its a remake for halo! but yea i love testing out the maps with you e. Its cool watching u start from scratch then it turn into something raw like the map you working on now its studdly.
