Periculum Canyon

Periculum Canyon

​

After constant delays due to college work and a bit of a ressession in Forge (I will explain in a sec). I have finally just tonight been able to finish off this project, Periculum Canyon, essentially the closest thing I could get to a remake of Danger Canyon, a favourite of Halo CE before the games demise.

Now, I will just want to say this rather bluntly. I wont be able to make any major changes, in fact, a minor change is proberly out of the picture too. Reason? I have used ALL my budget in making this. Yes, all 10,000 credits. I'm sure this overview will explain why...

As proberly noticed, Periculum Canyon nearly fills the entire largest island on Forge Island. I had to spend quite a bit of time cutting down the cost of the overall structure just to get it finished, leaving me with vitually without any pieces left except in a few catagories. Because of my 'budget crisis', I could not add the centre building, never mind make it bigger.

I also had to make a choice, either cram it with vehicles with the cost of using ordience which could have been a complete disaster, or sacrifice the loss of a large amount of vehicles in order to place weapons normally. I chose to place weapons normally, especilly as the map began to become overun with trees and rocks.

Anyways though, the rest of the map is true to the orginal outside of size (the original Danger Canyon on PC would hold alot more players than today. So its not much of a suprise.

Heres the screenies:
Canyon:

Blue Base:

Red Base:

Atrium:


Weapons:
Despite being a Big Team Battle Map, I'm not sure if there are enough weapons on due to budget reasons. So let me know if more needs to be added.
- 2x Assualt Rifles Default
- 2x Battle Rifles Default
- 2x DMRs Default
- 2x Carbines Default
- 2x Storm Rifles Default
- 1x Light Rifle Default
- 2x Needlers
- Frags and Plasma Granades.

Power Weapons:
- Fuel Rod Gun: 150 seconds, 0-1 clips, located in Atrium.
- Sniper Rifle: 130 seconds, 1 clip, located on rocky ledge in canyon.
- Sticky Detonator: 100 seconds, 2 clips, located between ramps at Canyon centre.

Vehicles:
- One Default Warthog at each base.
- One Ghost at each base
- One Mongoose at each base.

Currently, Periculum Canyon is only set up for slayer, though I will be making it avalible for CTF and other game modes. The map itself is currently on my file share though. Though I will need to set the gametypes up.

If anyone has any advice for the map or gametypes let me know via this thread, which I will keep updated. This map is pretty much ready for Slayer testing. So if anyone wants to help test it, give me a PM. And if there are any TCOJ GMT nights coming up let me know.

Hope this map lives up to expectations.

I admit I didn't think about building it on the second island. I was mainly trying to get the map as close to scale as possible. In several ways I proberly have to go back to rebuild it as a smaller map. But let's see how it runs in testing.

Anything else worth advising?

 

Right, I'm going to rebuild this on one of the smaller islands. I guess I will pull away from the remake slightly and add additional routes. I will try and make the canyon so it is more like a circle,not just something with a kink.

So, the canyon needs more routes, the interior needs to be more complex, say multiple rooms which lead to different balconies? And remove the linearity. Add anything or suggest how I can implement complexity and such. I have spent too much time messing around with this map to let it die.
