Okay dude, I'm in the map now and wow. Bravo. To everyone else who comes here, it would be impossible to make the map any better or closer to the original with the budget and confines in this map. I tried making this, but gave up to do something else. I didn't think that I could do it any justice and you have. I appreciate your hard work. I've added it to my remakes. Thank you!
Looks incredible! I wish you had gotten it done sooner for the contest but I'm definitely downloading after seeing the video. I saw ladders like that on someone's remake of Longest. It brings these maps much closer to the originals and beats having to jump up a bunch of boxes or run up ramps in place of ladders. More forgers need to learn this technique.
Very fun to play to play on Great remake! I didn't play Halo CE but It seems like it was a very fun map to play on. Very very fun w/ 16 players! PS: I'm in the Credits!!
Oh wow... this is easily the best remake of Boarding Action that ive seen. Great job. Part of me wishes you'd got it done for the forgotten treasures contest, but the other part is kinda glad you didnt (one less thing to endanger my entry lol) Great job tho. you got my download for sure!
Ditto! This is amazing. Finally justice has been done to this map. [br][/br]Edited by merge: Okay, I've run around on the map a bit more and the I just have one suggestion. For the "ladders" to work, you really only need a sliver of them showing. The advantages for decreasing their footprint are two fold. 1) It looks better and 2) it makes the surrounding area more playable. You aren't in fear of accidentally backing up into the ladder and getting launched away while fighting another player. Check out my remake of longest (Elusive) if you want an example. I certainly didn't come up with the idea, but I can attest that it makes the whole space easier to use. You can even keep the second "rung" as it is because it is out of jumping height. Anyways, great map.
ya i hadnt thought about trying it out. i havent had many issues with people being flung so im not too worried about it + if i put them further in people might have no idea thats a ladder and might not try goin up. i guess there's upsides and some downsides
This is by far the best remake i have seen of this map, to date, most people end up using ramps to substitute for lack of grav lifts to substitute for ladders. The use of one way shields is ingenious!
Very nice remake. Honestly the only thing I like about one of the other versions over this is how the ships are spaced out more to compensate for jetpacks. It's very easy to jetpack across from one side to the other on this map which would make for some weird balance.
It wouldn't be a true remake if you have to compensate for new abilities/dimensions while sacking things like correct sightlines. The sightlines on this map are damn near perfect recreation of the original
Very true, but I only bring that up as there is another remake that I have that takes Jet Packs into account and I largely prefer that one because of it. It may be a small tweak but I don't feel it hurts the spirit of the map and I think it would benefit this one as well. In fact I would probably prefer this one over the other I have if the ships were just far enough apart where you couldn't jetpack
if you want to play it like the classic just play classic slayer. i dont mind the jet-packs, it makes it fun. i've wanted to try flying across it somehow since halo 1, and it wouldnt be a true re-make if i spread them out. the jet-packing adds a new play-style. if you dont play on classic slayer.
