Ok so i started this map last night after finishing the Campain, the epic finish and everything just made me think 'hmmmm, build somthing to 'remember the war' by' so i drew up some quick plans (about a whole 2 mins worth of plans cos i knew what i wanted anyways lol) As you can see on the ground floor, you have vehicles up on ramps, you have every type down there, all 3 warthogs, mong, ghost, rev, even a shade turret flanked by plasma turrets and a Minigun exibit. (sorry i know the pic isnt great for showing everything off) Under the bridge on the left hand side, middle, you have one of the compleated exibits which is the for-mentioned Minigun one, looks quite good as its got sandbags walls and everthing. Moving on, Also on the bottom floor flanking the stairs on the right hand side are 2 tanks, while flanking the stairs on the other side are 2 wraths, ( you can see one of the tank exibits which im in the process of putting together so it still looks messy :S) The stairs are a 'T' shape so you walk up and it branches then to the walkway on the side of the map. Well you can see the upper cental area easy enough, the hole in the middle, im going to try and build a Spartan statue from the ground floor up to the second (any help on this would be great as i dont have a clue how to do it :S) Its also has around it, 2 Falcon exhibits and 2 banshee exibits which will be worked into 'hanging out of the ceiling' Things left to do, Walls and doors to break up the map, height ajustments on all exibits (when i tested i found out their about .1 / .2 too high . ), satue, make it look nice, spawn points, weapons etc... so quite a bit... Ideas, thoughts / feelings, comments and advice all welcome!
I think that you should work on making the map a little more special. Rather than trying to just display the vehicle inventory maybe make some interesting display cases to go with them and possibly battle scenes evoking more action. Maybe make a small bunker museum goers can visit or command posts with lots of details on em. I had a similar idea to make a museum and posted it a while back on forgehub. Here is a video if you want some inspiration. Museum of Humanity‏ - YouTube And a link to the post. http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-aesthetic-maps/125461-museum-humanity.html
