That looks pretty sweet, it does totally remind me of halo 3's blackout (although Im not sure blackout is actually an oil rig) but it looks like it would play well and fun.
Looks pretty good. If it was a bit bigger there might be less references to blackout. Presently I am working on a map kind of like this but yours looks a lot better. I also really like the use of the crane. You should design it so that people would want to get into the box it holds. Perhaps a heavy weapon like a Rocket launcher or a Sniper rifle. However If you don't use this I might just barrow it a try creating my own map for it. If you don't mind.
Guys, this post is older than the game itself. I have talked to the creator and he doesn't play much Xbox anymore and is polrobably not going to even start the map. The last time he was on was 45 days ago.
I actually re-made it with some added features. It is not anywhere near done, but I have a few pictures I can upload to this thread if anyone is still interested. I made a Map Preview back when I "finished it," but i haven't done anything on it in a while. The spawns could use some work, especially with 1 Flag gametypes. I've never been inclined to actually look up how to work them.
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/halo-reach-forge-discussion/108167-oil-rig-v3.html As you can see, I added a whole section, and since the V3 stages I've added another few ramps and walk-ways here and there. I felt like it was getting crowded in 3v3s and 4v4s, but I haven't really tried playing on it with the newest improvements. I can't upload it to my fileshare right now, but I'll be able to in December. I'm in college and don't have my harddrive on me In the map, I tried to involve aesthetics when I could by making the cranes into grav lifts. Overall I like the map for a 1v1 or 2v2, but the Top part with the Pinnacle Tower is pretty over-powered considering it looks down on everything. I think I removed the sniper from up there and placed it down below. Hmmm...
Great! I've really wanted to make an Oil Rig map, but I just can't make those Cage Like maps. I really think this looks good, and I'll definately give it a DL once you do it.
Alright, I'll try posting on here when I remember to upload it in December. You will probably have issues with spawns too, since they seemed eratic and they definitely don't work well in 1 Flag games. But FFA seems to be fine on the map. Lot's of quick action, and I recommend either using Jet Pack yourself or taking it away.
