    UNCONQUERED

    Download BETA

    Unconquered is a map that is inspired by the layouts of Halo 1 maps. It was built using pieces that presents a lag free classic gameplay experience. Heavily inspired by Prisoner, Hang Em High, and Damnation, Unconquered captures the feel of a classic map while being it's own unique experience.

    Any suggestions/impressions are appreciated!

    /re-tard moment

    Seriously this looks stunning. You have captured the forerunner style amazingly well and created with that a map that looks like it will play extremely well. Ill download the beta and if I get a chance Ill comment on gameplay.

    Yeah like cryppy said, it looks good and the gameplay seems to match this. However I just can't help thinking that I had seen it all before. I admire you going for a halo ce feel but theres nothing distinctive that jumps out at me.

    But thats me being really harsh, so I promise I'll give it a download when you release it and see how it plays because I'm sure that will make up for the generic aesthetics.

    ^ as above, this looks like something I really would enjoy. I prefer the maps that try to capture the roots of halo a lot more than the ones that don't. The gameplay looks like it'll play really well too so like they both said, I look forward to the release :D

    This looks really good, very forerunner-esque. My only complaint is with the pieces you've chosen. Some just seem to not go with the flow of the map. But other than that, good looking map. :)

    Thanks Crippy! Your reaction is definitely appreciated :) I worked really hard to bring back a classic feel and breathe new life into it.

    I understand what you are saying but I honestly wasn't going for a brand new visual style. This map is designed for matchmaking standards, as a way to push myself and encourage others to start forging maps that 'feel' like Halo Maps. Most of the maps currently in matchmaking are good but don't feel like a Halo style map. Other works I've done lean towards the aesthetic side (Examples include Illyria and Rhem) So this is a new direction for me. I still tried to give the map aesthetic touches to set it apart, I think a good example is the doorways I used.

    Thanks Stevo! That means a lot coming from you. I hope you will appreciate the final project and the classic feel will meet your expectations.

    Would you mind commenting on which pieces you mean?


    Thanks to everyone who commented! :)

    Oh I remember this one. the map was pretty fun, and did capture the classic feel to an extent. Your video has some wierd editing in it, but is still good. I gotta say i like that song too. Anyways, good job. i'd be up for playing this again sometime.
