Well we did play Strongholds on this one night, and it was a blast. I don't recall anything specifically not looking like the pictures. It was a great time, and everyone knew exactly what map we were on. Full 8v8 lobby, laughter and explosions, bodies hitting the floor action. I hear ya and feel your pain, but the map remains a very nice piece.
Thanks.. and that does make me feel better. That was my over all goal too, to bring one of Bungie's last Halo maps to H5 for pure enjoyment with "laughter and explosions".
Alrighty folks, due to the awful glitches and lighting on Parallax, I've decided to attempt to reforge this entire map on Tital with the "clear" skybox setting. This should allow me to use more darker, yet satisfying colors to make this map truly beautiful in the end. It will seem like a crashed ship on a water world. I work a full time job and play multiple games, so this will take a long time, especially if No Man's Sky drops before I finish.
