Scarab Assault Created by Coolant Description After finding evacuated warehouses, the Covenant use them to build and store Scarab tanks. This is the scarab. The scarab says hi. I had some guy harass me about how I didn't like his scarab, and how he wanted to see if I could build a better one. Lets just say I won this argument.. There are a lot of bad angles and tight spaces on this map, so don't expect everything to be lined up perfectly. Although, I think I did a good job otherwise. Everything matches the scarab in campaign. There were minor details that I couldn't get, (the support pole in the hanger; more length to it), but overall I'm very happy with it. Layout Features a full scarab tank in the middle of the warehouse, two human bases in the "offices", and two outposts in the corners. The scarab has three levels, and sports a gauss turret for the main gun, and a ghost for the secondary gun. Both vehicles are immobile. The Human bases both have a warthog and a mongoose. The outposts have man cannons that fling you to the scarab. Gametypes All gametypes are supported, but I suggest one bomb assault, one flag, and slayer. Zombies may work out too. Another overview of the scarab. The front. You can see the gauss turret and the walkway down to the hanger. A view of the hanger. You can make the jump up to it with a support weapon, but still walk underneath it. Profile shot. It sort of resembles the campaign counter-part. The hoof of a mighty beast. A good view of the gauss hog and the ghost. Download Scarab Assault - No Longer Available
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab Wow that is very detailed indeed, and looks fun
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab I agree, looks very scarab-like for a change. You won your bet I'm sure, but I wonder how the gametypes play.. only one way to find out...
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab I really just ran out of money in the end. Not a lot went into making sure it was a lot of fun to play. I didn't get a chance to do much testing on it, but from what I've played it was so-so. It's not supposed to be a combat map. Think.. Interactive scenery..
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab I thought as much, and so I don't think less of it. IMO better than your pirate ship because I reckon it was harder to get right...?
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab Good job, on making that big...thing. You created quite a structure very well, I don't see how it could be fun or a scarab. I'm sure you won the bet, but this looks more like something to like at then to try to play.
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab Much harder.. From my recent game history I have about 5 pages full of games. Each of those games was one object placed in order for it to float.. EDIT: It was never intended to be a combat map. In the case of gametypes, I just wanted people to have something to do with it instead of looking at it. The map's mostly for show.
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab WOW. Thats pretty impressive. It looks like it took a long time. About 3 weeks after halo 3 came out, i played a map where a scarab was attacking the Zanzibar, and u had to carry a bomb out to it and blow it up. It was cool cuz the bomb explosion sent boxes and crates flying all over. The gameplay itself was pretty weak. The gametype provided by the host was impossible for attackers, and the scarab was not very accurate at all. Yours looks much better.
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab You make the most detailed maps, I'm serious. From the Pirate Ship, to this. This is crazy detailed.
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab Thanks for the coments guys. Since my pirate ship is pretty much dead on B-Net, and this wouldn't get much comments either, I want to hear what you guys want me to make. I'm up for anything.
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab A Pelican would be pretty cool... That is, if you could make one.
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab A sphere. THAT would be hard. Maybe try and get a teleporter inside.
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab Hah. I'm glad I'm beginning to be liked around here.
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab Great piece of art. Have you ever considered working with machinima groups to build movie sets?
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab Actually, I havn't really considered it at all. I wouldn't even know how to get started with something like that. it does sound like a lot of fun though. I love to build things like this, but I hate setting them up for gametypes and all that. Making sets would be perfect for me.
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab Great suggestion, TDF. And Coolant, I agree wholeheartedly. You're too talented to just stand there and take glory for your resplendent maps. You're got skill, son. And tons of it. Please, please keep submitting this kind of stuff. It inspires the people whose maps have ZERO aesthetic value. Also, please consider teaming up with one of the better Forgers on here. If all you enjoy doing is making pretties, do that! =D
Re: Scarab Assault - Features a Fully Detailed Scarab EDIT: Scratch all that. I'll hold off on a submission for a while. What really keeps me making these maps is you all. I just love to know that once I finish a map, there will be other people playing on it and enjoying it as much as i did making it.
