    Update: I made a new version, download it here: Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details


    I found that all of the remake's of valhalla that i could find where, well, bad. So i tried to make one myself, have a look and tell me what you think.

    A overview of the map:

    Any comments are welcome!

    It's a fine map, the bases look very faithful to the original and the middle is amazing. There are only a few problems there is to much extra area, and the middle geometry is too different and not recognizable. Also when i went to download the map the description is very egotistical. Don't say that anything of yours is the best when comparing it to others, you don't know that. The only thing you can know is that it is the best remake/map YOU made.

    Well, this definitely looks like the best Valhalla remake I've seen yet. The bases look just right, you've blocked off all the right parts, and you even took the time to build a pelican. Also, thank you SO much for making this support more gametypes than just Slayer. When I see a cool map but then see that it only supports Slayer, it kind of ruins it for me. So I give you credits on going that extra mile. The only things about the map that concerns me is something that is on every Valhalla remake: if you go off the mancannons without a jetpack, you die. One way you could fix this is by placing a shield door in the air near where the player lands to slow down their fall. Other than that minor issue though, the map looks great. DL'd.

    I will alter the description then (altough I haven't found any better valhalla maps yet).
    Any tips on inproving the middle? When i tested the map, the mancannons diden't hurt me at all, since i placed them at a custom angle, with which settings did they hurt you?

    And one more question: is there any way to make more people download this map (because i think that it is bettter than the valhalla remake that was in the most downloaded section not so long ago)?

    This is the best Valhalla map i've seen too, but talking about yourself (or in this case your map) in such a high manner makes you seem like you have a undeserved sense of accomplishment, even if it is great. If it's good it should get popular.

    I can't tell from the pictures but the middle of the map isn't close to the original is it? I'd like to download it but I won't have fun playing the map unless it's really similar to the original.

    Thanks everyone for the positive feedback, its good to hear that you liked it (since it took me a hell of a lott of time to make :p).

    I will try to make the middle a bit better, but its hard because of the limited budget/naturel objects you can make. You can expect a new updated version in my fileshare soon though.

    hey man love the map i just wanna say one or two thing i found wrong ... first the middle may need a little tweaking here and there but i nothing juristic but the main thing i wanted to add is the main man cannon u can not walk up it ( i hope what im saying makes sense lol) thats just the only thing i found wrong and it irks me a bit because its such a perfect or as close to perfect as it gets remake

    oh man thats very epic the hill is much better but still what i was talking about befor u know the main cannon in both bases that brings u to the middle from the front of the base u should be able to walk up on the incline infront of the main man cannon thats what i mean..sorry if i seem even more confusing in my head what im saying seems straight forward and thats my only "problem" per say i have about this map i love it and its nearly perfect...or as perfect as reach could allow accept the one point im talking about

    I noticed that one of the man cannons is missing on the attackers base. Other than that, great remake.

    I made another update downloadable here:

    Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details

    You can now walk up the front of the bases (with a little effort), and i made some small other adjustments. Have a look and tell me what you think!

    I noticed you blocked off the cave in this map. If you remeber in the original Vahalla, there was a cave near the pelican. I also think there was two caves. Just letting you know.
