Hey all, This is my new map Overpass. It was designed based on the epic bridge fights from Halo CE like during 'Assault on the Control Room' and 'The Two Betrayals'. The map is set up for nearly all basic game types with exception of invasion and race. I used nearly every reasource of the map to create this and even struggled with money towards the end lol. So please download and give it a go. It makes interesting CTF and Assault games as well as territories and infection games. You can also download it by searching 'Overpass' or searching El Tainto on the Halo Reach filter thingy. Hope you like it El Tainto
Just played it, and I love it. Very cool map, and a cool idea. You did a good job at recreating the bridges, and did a good job Forging it. It's clean and organized well. So far my only problem with it is there's only 1 way to get to either bridge (which is the teleporter) from what I noticed. It isn't a huge issue, but I feel like gameplay would be a little more competitive if there was at least 2 different ways to get to each bridge. If you're playing CTF, Assault, or any objective game that leads you to go to the other bridge, it would be too predictable where everyone would be, which is in the teleporter room. I understand why you did this, which is to make it so you have to go across the entire bridge, which would might create some intense moments in CTF, but I'd hate to be the person carrying the flag with the entire opposing team knowing exactly where I'm heading. It's very one dimensional, considering most maps have up to 4 different ways to get around. If I'm wrong about this, then tell me. But from walking through everything, all I found was you get to the other bridge via teleporting. Otherwise it's a great map, and I'll definitely be keeping it on my Xbox.
You can sprint-jump (just) and you can also use the 'coloseum windows' in between at each end too. But yes, in the centre its almost impossible to cross. Perhaps I should have put in a couple of small man cannons :\ Thanks for the reply though, I will try and get a few more pics up too Cheers El Tainto
Yes, I'll certainly do an update. Might try some more teleporter configurations too, see how that goes
according to the rules it is REQUIRED that you have at least one embedded picture or video of your map in the post. the pictures have to be in the post, not as a reply to it.
