Crater Moon Created By: smm2010 & x DREAM 76 x Crater Moon is a remake of our Halo 3 map. A lot of people have told us that they really enjoyed the original map. smm2010 decided to remake the map for Halo Reach. He asked me to do the aesthetics. I of course couldn't resist. The map came out really fun in my opinion. It plays great with a large party. I especially like how the spawn is caged in, and has several shield doors around it. We tried Battle Snipes & Battle Lasers on it with a pretty big party. The map felt really smooth and the action was just right. I especially enjoyed Battle Lasers on it. It just really worked great for the long range game play. The corners were very sneaky as well. There were several key advantage shots on some of the outside banks. Use caution when approaching the goal area. There is a construction zone straight ahead and the jump should help you clear the large crater. The last turn in particular can be scary for the driver. As for the gunner, the view is great and the lines of sight are superb for really accurate long range shooters. We hope you enjoy the games with some friends. Thanks! Crater Moon .
I downloaded this off your fileshare the other day, and I was impressed. It's a great remake that includes all the features that made the H3 version great: high-arcing banked waves, a fun and consistent jump, entwined turns, smooth forging, and of course, some pretty interesting aesthetics. I don't remember the turn after the jump being so high, but maybe I'm just not remembering correctly. Excellent forging from both of you (as expected). Great job bringing back a classic track and some great memories for many racers, myself included.
Thanks for the feedback, Shaddo; it means a lot coming from you. And yes; the last turn after the jump wasn't that big in Halo 3. It was a bit difficult trying to create the track the same exact length from Halo 3 (35 seconds to be exact) so the remake in Reach ended up being at least 50 seconds long. I didn't realize how low the jump was compared to the starting area so I decided to create the large banked turn in its place.
Thanks! We are glad that a lot of people like the map. We have over 1,000 DLs in a week! If anyone gets a party going sometime for some racing, invite me!
I was not a fan of battle tracks until I actually played a game on it, then it became fun! Onto the map, this looks very solid and the aesthetics fit perfectly with the FX you used. I'll DL the map whenever I have time and post my opinion.
Thanks! How did you like the map? It works great with 10-12 players. Just dont play lasers against smm. He is too good
Damn right I am, Dream. You've learned that the hard way too many times. I am glad that this remake is a success. Brings back a lot of memories including being featured on the Bungie homepage.
