i am currently designing a map that is based in Jerusalem in the 1100's (1095) and it will be based on the first crusade. the main idea is that the main base, a large mosque(resembling the Taj Mahal) will be attacked by the opposing forces. The Islam team is inside the base trying to defend it and the Christian team is trying to capture it. the funny thing about this is the game type i plan for it. this will be an infection map where the Christians are the zombies and the Muslims are the humans. if you understand the implication of that, then kudos to you. please comment with ideas.
Would work much better as an assualt, territories or CTF game type. Pretty much any game type that's NOT infection, imho. Infection is done to DEATH, literally. Just visit the casual maps forum and look for yourself. --dc
listen for a sec. infection is completly relevant to the map tho. when islam soldiers were captured, they were forced to convert to christianity. now do you see the implacation? anyways, the muslims lost. so it makes sense.
Yeah, CTF and Assault would be best. Infection is so boring and always the same thing over and over. If you can find a way to do it though that makes it new again, that could be cool. But don't let us stop you. Even though we don't like it, evidently a ton of people do since it's so popular. Also, a mosque map would be really freakin sweet if it could be made believable enough. Great idea, but I'm guessing it'll be really hard to do.
yah i got the floor plan out already. i already have the map done, just not on halo 3. i did it with a video game map editor (valve hammer) and i am recreating it from that. really not that hard. i know how to interlock with other items and map geometry so it won't be that hard.
Welcome to Forge Hub! Well, I like your idea and the map sounds like fun! Now, I see where you are coming from with the Infection idea, as that makes sense with the whole history part. The only thing is, people tend to 'tire' of infection, plus it would make it slightly unfair, unless the Muslims had slightly better traits. Anyway, you should do your map however you want. If it doesn't work out, you can try another gametype, the beauty of forge! Good luck. Yay! My 100th post!
