Wow this looks great, I like the idea of a mini map... I tried to do it to guardian on reach but never finished it ha. Have seen the giant players but not the mini players... looks like it will be a laugh. The map looks really nice and clean too. Great job!
Actually Not really. The only glitchy thing that happens is when you die the character model looks weird and stretches...but Im not sure if that happens in full custom matches as I only tested myself committing suicide with grenades. Other than that it is not glitchy at all and that little glitch doesn't affect gameplay. The Giant modded gametypes however are glitchy. EDIT: Actually, the reason my body was glitching after death was because I was playing on a much smaller spartan size than the one Nutduster's map was designed for. I wanted to see if a map could be made even smaller.
The bigger or smaller you make yourself, the more glitches you'll notice. If you make yourself REALLY big, it gets pretty messed up.
This is a really really good idea, although it will need custom Forged maps probably to really take advantage of it. Also this modded gametype does not exist exactly like that yet but someone could easily make it upon request. You don't wanna enlarge the Spartans bigger than default because that causes glitches in gameplay...but letting the King of Regicide or something be regular spartan size and the rest of everyone mini spartans would be awesome. Unfortunately, the weapons are bigger than the spartans lol. If weapons could be resized it would be really cool. Same with vehicles.
Ssshhhh. I won't say anything if you won't. I find that when I run around on this map for more than 10 seconds, I start to forget that it's so much smaller than the real thing. Unless I'm playing full size with regular movement speed, and then it's pretty hard to forget...
Oops, you're right man... the gametype you designed this map for doesn't glitch at all that I can tell from the video, certainly nothing to hurt the gameplay. I was actually playing on one of the extra smaller gametypes when the dead bodies were glitched. I guess it was the foot-tall spartans. It wasn't the smallest one because that was ridiculous when I tried it, the grass was taller than me lol. I'm wondering if it would be possible to make a map for the foot-talls. Will take a lot of creativity I think but it's certainly possible to keep it basic. Although most pieces will have to be phased mostly into the ground. I'm gonna mess around with it anyhow. I'm down for testing this map next time you guys play it if you need another person.
I think it would be, but you'll basically have to either have no doorways and ceilings, or just very tall ones, or you'll be constantly hitting your invisible head and getting stuck on things.
Oh! I just tested that. I see what you mean. Thanks for telling me though, cause I didn't notice that, haha.
i find it funny how the moderators on this site dont approve of using modded gametypes but here u clearly say that u used one for smaller players, and if we are talking modded gametypes i think your map would be greatly suited to the team classic with no sprint so u cant sprint from one base to another in like 5 sec's like u said. But all in all i think its a good concept (shrinking a map) i hate the size of halo 4's maps way way way to big even with sprint. I have made a concept map from mario kart 64 battle arena's called block fort and made it a small team doubles scaled down the map and it turned out sweet, let me know if u want to check it out.
We have various opinions about it on the staff. Though I think all of us agree that we don't want to encourage mod usage to a degree that might get people banned from Live, or hurt the site's perception with 343i or Microsoft. But they seem to be taking a more tolerant view of mods that don't affect matchmaking - not outright endorsing them, but people have been filesharing them with no consequences for months. So my feeling is that we should be a bit more tolerant as well. It's probably still a bad idea for us to advertise them or provide direct links, but I also don't think we need to treat them like infectious open wounds any more. So don't take this thread as an official endorsement - it is not. I just made a tiny map that can be played any which way you like. And if you happen to track down a smaller-spartan mod to use with it, we're not going to ban you or anything - but I'm also not going to give you a link to it, and don't expect to see it in my fileshare, because frankly my balls don't have that much brass in their alloy.

That you might be hypothetically referring to in this thread... Anyone not a friend of the moderators or not connected with the tops of FH would get in trouble for overtly advertising modded content. This is the reason FH is no longer taken seriously...
Or perhaps they are simply more lenient now. Look at the comments simply saying that a map is good. A while back there would have been so many infractions. The times are a-changing.
I'm pretty sure if I made a micro-map and posted a thread for it, and just stated that "There is a modded gametype somewhere on the net that turns you into foot tall spartans...it would go great with this map." My thread would not be taken down. I think you just gotta be nonchalant about it, but people never are. They say, "download this modded gametype from "this website" and here is the link "______" just click that and download Super Tall Mega Spartans by Chauncey 420". P.S. Don't banz me I made that mod and gamertag up Oh and the way Certain Ashittity and 343 raped Halo 4 for features... I think modded gametypes should be allowed but it's Microsoft that probably is to blame for it being looked down upon. Some mods like the mini spartan can really enhance gameplay and there is nothing wrong with using them for custom games. While others are just plain cheating or stupid. I think basic mods like Mini-Spartans or Change Flood Weapons should be allowed anywhere.
If FH has become more lenient, then they haven't made that clear at all. And his poor attempt to veil is evidence he knows they haven't. I don't care, so don't take this like I am attacking the poster. If I am attacking anyone it is the moderators here that pick and choose who they shut down. Their attitude is nothing short of nepotism... It has always been this way, but this is really blatant... @Audience... I agree... Look at HaloCustoms... it grew instantly, and I can't help thinking that they took a lot of traffic from here. It seems that they need to quit being gestapo, but there is a limit. If affiliation means anything, then this is where the line is drawn. Really, I should have quit FH a long time ago... now it seems like it is just dying on the vine...
MrGreenWithAGun: lol...what?! n1gg4 dats drama. now do u wanna play midget micro spartan slayer or what?
Halo is a great game, especially Halo 4 and I'm personally tired of all the bitching about it. Yeah 343 didn't do as good as Bungie would for halo 4. Halo 4 is still the best halo in my mind b/c I think the gameplay is the best yet (minus frame rate problems here & there). Yeah forge needs some help but 343 got there priorities right. The campaign was by far the best yet and loved the final mission. Gameplay is on point. Yeah the official maps suck for the most part and forge could be better. If you disagree with me then why are you playing Halo 4 and not reach or 3? B/c the gameplay is the best yet and the graphics are sick. Forge does need some attention with some of the features that were taken out and the maps are challenging to forge on. Impact, even though with that god awful structure on it, is the second best forge environment yet in halo. Foundry was to small and ugly, Sandbox was really good but the blocks were disgusting (forging ability wise), and Forge world was of course the best. You guys are also taking this community and forging way to serious like your some big ballin' high payin' map designers. Everyone here is amatuer, period. This is an amateur website, so is any other forge website. So is anything else to do with forge. If you guys want to grow some hair on your pec'ticles, get into PC gaming and start making maps in advanced editors that put forge to shame. The competitive community in the PC world is on a whollleeeee different level (map making and gameplay wise). Plus mods there are not only accepted by most game companies, they're encouraged. Just look at the all so famous Counter-Strike which was a mod of half-life created by some kids in college. The only reason Mods are frowned upon in Console gaming is b/c you have to many little nerdy kids crying b/c they got their ass beat and say the other player is hacking, lol j/k. Plus Microsoft likes to keep things under maximum control and modding is like an illegal drug to them for some reason. Anyways, crying about forge, modding, or anything above sounds so pathetic to me. If you want to play with the big boys, play with the big toys, if not, settle with what you got. The only reason I make maps in Halo is because I enjoy the hell out of the gameplay here. I've made maps in UnrealEd and in Half-Life's engine and the learning curve is so much higher but once you learn the editor, it's actually easier to make maps and the possibilities are endless.
