    Hello ForgeHub!

    This is my first post here, so please be gentle. I have recreated the map "Quearena" from Halo 3 which was built on foundry by Seaboro Kibbles.

    As you can see, the map has had a major aesthetic overhaul.

    Now this isn't the same exact settings as the original smear the quear, due to the removal of alpha zombie settings. Here's a list of the zombie settings in the new mode in Reach:

    Zombie settings:
    Damage resistance: 50%
    Shield Recharge rate: 10%
    Shield Multiplier: Normal Shields
    Damage Modifier: 50%
    Melee Modifier: 50%
    Armor ability: Sprint
    Armor ability usage: Unlimited (Subject to change)
    Player Speed: 200%
    Jump Height: 100%
    Motion Tracker mode: Enhanced mode

    Appearance: Pink


    Now I know the differences between the gametypes seem large, but they actually spice it up and bring a new and different experience into play.

    Now I know you probably are sick of reading what I have to write, and pictures don't always show a map very well, so here's a video walkthrough followed by some gameplay footage.



    YouTube - Halo showcase episode 4: Smear the ***** (Mini-game map)




    Anyways, this gametype is as fast paced and hectic as ever, and is also very fun to play.


    And because I love you, here are some more pictures.

    This is definately what a good remake should be. You've taken the basic, core design behind the original Querena, amended it, and even added your own special aesthetic touch to it. You've basically taken an old classic and made it better than ever.

    My one question though, is how (if at all) you've counteracted the Zombies who, rather than use a vehicle, just walk around rofl-knifing the Humans.

    What do you mean by "counteracted"? Sorry, I'm just trying to figure out what you're asking so that I can give you an answer.

    All I can suggest id possibly giving the pinks an Evade loadout, as well as sprint. other than that, great map.

    A lot of testing was done on this map and that was originally a loadout, it was removed because the zombies could evade all the way across the map in one go and were damn near impossible to hit, thanks for the feedback though :D

    To be completely honest I just threw it in because I was bored.

    This is one great map! I never played the original from Halo 3. But this gametype was extremely fun with my custom game party.

    I mean how did you get zombies to stop exiting their vehicles, walking around and just lunging at the humans. Did you lower the zombies' movement speed or anything like that?

    The zombies are trying to kill the humans, the humans are on the vehicles, and walking around will get you killed in about 5 seconds.

    Looks like a fairly decent remake, but you should definitely credit Seaboro Kibbles for making the original.

    Didn't know who the original creator was, adding that to the post now.

    Glad to see you gave credit to the originator of the gametype. However, I don't mean to piss in your cheerios but sadly we asked Seaboro to change the name Smear the ***** to something more morally acceptable. I believe he settled on Smear the Pinkie.

    Just giving you a heads up just in case a Mod decides to enforce that old ruling upon this game.

    Dude, nice. I downloaded this when you first posted and never got around to the feedback. Just as fun as the original, in every way! It does get a little over powering when you get a full 16 people though, but that's part of the fun. Since the gametype update, where you able to use Alpha Zombie and give them a Plasma Pistol? Maybe a nice addition to it, but maybe not. Just a heads-up.

    Oh yeah definitely, I completely forgot about this map, thanks for reminding me! I can return to the actual Smear the Qu- Pinkie gametype, rather than my version. Please let me know if you think that I should keep the sprint, though?

    Also,
    They had both, but those were just the Alphas. I didn't do that because there weren't any Alpha zombie settings when I made this.

    id like you to change the name, I know its most known but you shouldent be using a anti-homosexual slur

    Yes, you should definitely keep the Sprint. It adds a nice new element to an already fun game. Gives the Zombie more of a fighting chance, but maybe even Hologram to trick the Humans.
