Elegy (H3's Epitaph)

Set for Slayer and Koth variants, 4-8 players recommended (try multi team on this, seriously).



Hello again Forgehub, hopefully now that I enjoy the current Halo game, I'll stick around this time.

I figured that I could attempt a remake for this Forgotten Treasures competition, so I made a map I thought not many would attempt and is one of my favorite maps from Halo 3 (I am serious when i say this). I loved Epitaph, it was a really different map and was one of my top choices whenever I would dive into the multi team playlist. I had not realized how much i missed this map until I started forging Elegy and now I'm pretty happy with the finished product.

Elegy is not without its flaws though, the only problem anyone would ever bring up was the issue of framerate lag, and trust me, it was brought up a LOT. I was able to replace some objects to reduce my item usage here and there but it was not a good enough solution, so out of desperation I had done something kind of drastic... All the objects on Elegy that create shadows are now set to spawn in 2 seconds after the lighting generates... So essentially no dynamic lighting. It was too much of a problem rendering all of theses shadows throughout the map, it would create lag on insane levels without this fix. So I had to remove it, no doubts in my mind, the map is now however lag freeee.... just kidding... but it's better... I promise. <3

Also, some notable changes from halo 3's Epitaph;

-The Railgun is in place of Rockets (Rockets became way too effective during testing).

-Speed Boost is in place of Camo (Why halo 4? Why no Camo? No one is going to pick up
armor abilities when they can just change their loadouts).

-The Needler is set to 90 second respawn (Now the Needler is more of a mid-tier
weapon).
