Tha Treyman submitted a new map: Gephyrophobia - Remake of Halo CE (PC) map Gephyrophobia Read more about this map...
Nice remake ! Not very detailled but I suppose your budget is to low now to create some aesthetic things. Good job !
Just played it with a bunch of friends and we loved it! Link to the showcasing will be posted later tonight!
Considering the original map wasn't very detailed, I'd say this version is a step up! But also, more importantly, the gameplay...which was great on the original and is great on this one! =D
Yep, I understand, the gameplay is always a priority. And yes, the original wasn't very detailed, but the original was on Halo CE on PC... 12 years ago. It's normal that the map wasn't detailed. On Halo 5, create things like original ones in Halo CE is create something old. If Halo Anniversary and Halo 2 Anniversary is great, it's because this is the same level we knew 10 years before, but with more details. Halo 5 allow to us great things with Forge, and I'm convinced that there is possibility to add more details if the budget is well optimized. And if it's possible, create a unique ambiance, building a roof with cliff to create a great cave with stalactite, and some holes to let the sun come inside.
Agreed, those are excellent ideas if budget permits! Especially the overhead cave. Hmm, well it is possible it might affect the lighting. Perhaps it is best as an open canyon. Either way could work. The map creator should definitely try experimenting both ways if possible, if he hasn't already
Thanks for all the great feedback everyone! To those who felt it should be a little more detailed, I couldn't agree more. The budget got taken fast and had to make compromises to allow other things like spawning, objectives, etc. I'd love to add multi-team but that would require me to delete A LOT of objects to do it. I still plan on updating it when I can if I find other ways to reduce the budget.
Personally I say don't even worry about it. The budget can be used up in a blink of an eye therefore you did the best to your abilities for this recreation and still you nailed it no matter how much detail was added.
