I don't see how you'd be able to remake Relic, it's just too big. Leave it be and remember the fun times.

While the remakes are all looking good, the new maps people are creating look fantastic. So much potential, it makes me want to play Halo 3 again. =(

looking at the other relic remakes shows its possible, and i think my solution will be superior.

we'll see. if anything, its fun. the sanctuary remake is fantastic, even if the map is obviously squashed to fit.

Why does it matter what weapon I kill him with? If he dies, then he dies!

 

[Butane123]

Bit late but here's some Sanctum gameplay, two perspectives for the price of one.

WOW! That remake looks absolutely amazing. I've got to get people on to try this out tonight.

 

[GhaleonEB]

I don't want to be at work. I want to be home, building my map. It's finished in my brain.

A 360 VGA cable connected to your monitor at work should fix that moving forward. :lol

 

[sixthsubset]

whats the best way to browse and find some of these maps? utah, the relic remake, bumper hogs, etc

forgehub!!

also the mlg forge forum, but theyre alot slower in making them and test their maps alot more before releasing, so not alot of sandbox ones released yet

 

[vhfive]

I don't want to be at work. I want to be home, building my map. It's finished in my brain.

my map is also finished in my brain. actually finishing it is hard because like eazy i am suffering from forge fatigue. now i go into forge but instead of creating my map, i hop on a mongoose and just drive off mancannons.

I remember going into my friends forge game where he had been crafting what could only be known as "The Tower of Power" for around 3 hours. Hovering as the monitor, a sense of power surged through me, making my knees shake. I flew full speed into the Heart of the tower itself, spamming delete like I spam fireballs on SF. The support items vanished, the column began to crumble whilst obscenities came flying down my microphone from my friend(not at that point). He didn't speak to me for a week.

Remind me to never play with you. Thanks.

So I've back from experimenting

Spoiler

I got Forge fatigue right now too

trying to figure out a replacement for the elevator in Ivory Tower. This is a very rough draft of course.

As it stands, you can really just get to the top floor. You'll need to drop down to reach the middle floor.

Comments/suggestions?

Grimm: Try putting a regular grav lift, and then a floating grav lift at the second floor which would push you to the top floor. Its slower than the man cannon and can give the player the opportunity to stop at the second floor

Hmmmm so the floating grav lift will be above the ground floor one's influence so it doesn't tumble around?

And doesn't this mean you'll always stop at the second floor and need to jump backwards to hit the second grav lift?

 

[The Librarian]

Thanks for the awesome read, Voc. Anders being the daughter of Capt. Keyes is a tantalizing idea to say the least.

Comments/suggestions?[/QUOTE]

maybe a second lift with a ceiling that bounces you to floor 2 side by side with the other?

 

[op_ivy]

my relic is nearly done, just lacks spawn points and weapons/nades/power ups. is there any good source for all of this? i know i have seen map overheads that layout weapon placement, anything with spawns as well?

also, got a neat work around the button to activate the single way teleporter.... i blocked the one inside the relic with a wooden pallet! you have to destroy that to be able to teleport through.

Wow, that was fast.

Also take a look at the other maps to see how Bungie has placed spawns.

been home sick all day

also, seeing how others tackled the base certainly helped

EDIT: was actually looking for how relic spawned from halo 2. should have been more clear, sorry

give me like 10 minutes and I can get you a picture of the spawns for relic.

Well one grav lift isn't enough to get to the second floor (but this is just estimating at this point).

But yeah I'll consider putting a man cannon/grav lift and a grav lift right next to it.

 

[DualX]

Here's my terminal work in progress. This has surprisingly took me about 2 hours to reach this point.

I lifted the entire platform to allow for the subtle drop as you leave the offensive base. And it wouldn't be complete without the car lift. Not sure if I'll be able to add them all..

 

[The Librarian]

I don't think the budget is big enough for Terminal.

 

[Azar]

Terminal's massive. There's no way you'll be able to get both bases, the whole parking garage, and all that outdoor area into the budget. Just building the floor for all of it alone would be a huge undertaking if you're using the Skybox.

 

[backflip10019]

Quick question that's not exactly Halo related but I didn't want to start a thread about it:

If I use my hard drive on my friend's Xbox (connected to Live), will I be able to play the new maps without transferring licenses?

I may have to cut some corners... I'll let you know how it turns out.

That didn't take long lol

Won't it lag or disrupt the framerate if you add too much?

 

[FourDoor]

Yes. And if you move your friends XBL account to a memory card and play split screen with your hdd, he can play the maps as well.

 

[Digital Limit]

So, how do these glitched maps run with large parties?

 

[backflip10019]

Yes. And if you move your friends XBL account to a memory card and play split screen with your hdd, he can play the maps as well.

Exactly the answer I wanted to hear. I guess the three weeks or so without my box won't be as hard as I had first anticipated.

So, how do these glitched maps run with large parties?

Let's put it this way. They don't run. They walk.

 

[EazyB]

Won't it lag or disrupt the framerate if you add too much?

I've played online with some extremely glitched maps and have had no problems. Bungie just puts that limit there because they test for the most extreme conditions: 4 player split screen with 16 players all throwing grenades at once.

You mean Shiska and b.net members playing Zombies. XTREME GAMING.

Greenskull!!!!

He must be stopped!

 

[A Penguin]

So I encountered a modded version of Last Resort with random shit strewn all over the place (ie. another giant wheel in the beach area, clones of Spartan and Elite character models). Any idea how this is done?

I shall arrange for your meeting him in the privacy of the crypt. Bring one weapon, and come alone.

Presumably with external tools.

Yeah, I remember Chinner posted a video a while back of him ramming about a thousand Elite clones with a Warthog on that map. Pretty awesome, but also pretty shitty seeing how people can absolutely rape the default maps using external tools.

float the grav lift with weapon holders slightly above your head so you have to jump to be lifted - it prevents you from being lifted when you don't want to, and pops you up higher than a floor mounted lift

[Self Induced]

my map is also finished in my brain. actually finishing it is hard because like eazy i am suffering from forge fatigue. now i go into forge but instead of creating my map, i hop on a mongoose and just drive off mancannons.

I guess I'm always suffering from forge fatigue then because every time I load up forge, I end up just doing stuff like this the whole time.

Every effort to build a decent looking base in the skybox inevitably turns into "Let's see how many vehicles I can knock off this platform with some tripmines and a single hammer swing."

Any news on your new map? I've seen you in forge a lot lately.

So I encountered a modded version of Last Resort with random shit strewn all over the place (ie. another giant wheel in the beach area, clones of Spartan and Elite character models). Any idea how this is done?

I would assume that a fellow modded the map with a hard modding tool...

 

[NOKYARD]

and...i am not going to explain this, you have to go try it for yourself

flip a Tin Cup and place it on a Wraith's hood like a ramp (Forge mode only)

well you might remember this teaser shot from a couple of days ago.

since then i pretty much finished that map, didn't like it, trashed it

Spoiler

im still using that throne room so don't try to steal it

, and started over on the main level (was in sky box). I'm spending a lot of time on this map because i have a great idea

Spoiler

at least i think so

but it is very tricky to actually create. i will have another picture soonish

Spoiler

tomorrow?

.

in other news does anyone know who xboxant007 is? he jas joined my forge sessions twice now

Spoiler

left it open by accident

. he never really says anything just runs around looks at what im doing then leaves.
