    Bullet Creek
    A spiritual successor to Battle/Beaver Creek.

    by Darkprince909



    After searching for hours for a decent remake of Battle/Beaver Creek, i was dissappointed to find nothing but vaguely similar shrunk down, badly forged attempts.
    I realized that a proper remake of these maps is impossible, even with a stacked, budget glitched map. But i still wanted a map that played similar to the classics that we know and love, so i started working on Bullet Creek.

    Let me say this now...THIS IS NOT A REMAKE OF BATTLE/BEAVER CREEK!! It is meant to be a "spiritual successor", like Guardian is to Lockout, or Valhalla to Coagulation. It draws many elements from the original, but i added some of my own elements. The teleporters, the sniper towers, and the many boulders are still here. The rocket arch has changed into a wooden bridge, and there was a cave-in behind the base, leaving a small tunnel on one side. The roof of the bases cannot be accessed, but this is reconciled by a window on the side and a higher front door. The layout of the bases have changed slightly, but still has many different entrances like the original. The river has dried up. Rest assured, when youre playing, you get a very nostalgic feeling.

    Thanks to everyone who helped me make and test this map, including AdaptiveFiber, EDokC CoD3, kyle58541, AquaSaberwolf, HWDHOLLY, and milokk2, and the several random people that i invited off of my recent players list that actually accepted the invites.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoy the map. And if you like the map, check out my fileshare for some other great maps!

    This looks pretty cool and its a unique design. Weapon placement is good although some of the barries at the bottom looks a bit randomly placed. My favorite part is is probably the center bridge as it looks like its the main attraction of the map.

    Center bridge is really good, better than the rock in the original BC. Now, the map may be quite limited because you cant jump above the bases, but I'll download it anyway.

    This looks like an great remake. I would suggest working on the rocket ledge, to make it more 'reminiscent' of Beaver Creek. Maybe you could add more risers if your going for a completely new look. The bases look a little bumpy, specifically where the door is and the plasma grenades spawn. I don't think a wall on the floor and the bottom part of a tube piece are necessarily the same height, so it might be a little bumpy. Just place a wooden bridge under the wall and I think it becomes the same height. Overall, 4.7/5

    Oh, and you said you didn't find a good beaver Creek remake, this Ber Ber Creek (2nd Runner up) was a runner up in a contest a few weeks ago, and its pretty good as well.

    Looks like a pretty solide re-imagination of the original, I like the way the bases have been changed yet the idea is still the same. As the cory said, there is actually a fairly decent remake called Ber Ber Creek, if you want to check it out.

    i like this. i will dl and edit my post later.
    btw: beaver/battle creek can't be remade properly because bungie wont give us trees and/or bushes in forge mode.

    This may be one of my favorite remakes of this map. I love how the bases are lifted up a block so you could have the tunnels like the original. My favorite spots have to be the sniper spawns and OS spawn.

    This is probably, no, IS the best Battle/Beaver Creek "remake" I've seen (I know it's not a remake, it's the only word that comes to mind.)! The bases look astounding, & I can tell you have an attentive eye for detail, hence the little pond (awww...). Have you ever seen a "spiritual successor" map of Gemini (High Charity map from Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack)? If not, you'll see one soon, but that's not the point, this one is a keeper! I'll look to you for more Halo 2 "remake" maps!

    very nice map i really like that you interlock almost all your objects.
    maybe you could geo-merge some of them like the tunnels.
    but overall well done...

    This does remind me of beaver creek, but with a couple things changed. All in all pretty good i just wish you could've made it a bit bigger. But it looks like you used everything up.

    wow, this looks great, very clean, unlike a lot of beaver creek remakes.
    it seems that you put a lot of time into making it look identical to that of the original. although i think you should have made the map with a flor so you could put in a stream that would run across the center of the map, but other than that it looks great.

    5/5 great job
