if it works i'll give you a giant man hug. Sanctuary is my favorite halo map across all 3 games.

some homo ;)
 
Here's an overhead map if you don't have one:

All new, not a remake, not quite as good as Eazy's Halo 3 map, Pitfall. Still needs some work done but I think these pictures give a basic idea of the concept.


View of blue base. Red base is the same. Two stories with a third (man canon) level. Flag spawns on second level, capture point is on the bottom.

Second Level entry to either bases. Brute Shot and Sniper Rifle are avaliable here. Man Canon on third level bypasses this area.
67724857-Medium.jpg


Bottom level connection between the two bases. Rocket Launcher in the middle of the map. Need to include Needlers to make the chase to the rocket even more EXCITING. Battle Rifles are just offscreen to the right.
67724988-Medium.jpg


A view of the second level. Still needs to be completed by general layout is complete. Shotgun, battle rifle, regenerator and a fourth surprise are here.

The second platform connector seen from a little higher up.

Next project, sleep. And Halo Wars.

hahaha wow that fuckin blows...I'm done with SWAT, fuck those Elites
 
:lol :lol

I just got booted from a game of one flag for betraying a teammate who wasn't there the entire game. I betray him once (naturally b/c I'm pissed he isn't playing) and a few minutes later get booted. Awesome.

That's wierd. I did get the request and I added it. :P
 
Looks awesome, Merguson. Queued up.

I'm working on a map I'm starting to get excited about. Though by now it's just a bit more than the pile of bricks you saw me tossing around earlier tonight. :lol
 
What the hell. You may have seen on HBO that OXM UK are giving away 20 codes every day over the next few days.

Problem is, yesterday's contest read "Competition is now closed" for basically all of yesterday (I checked quite a few times, you see). It seems they just posted today's contest (it wasn't up earlier this morning), and what do you know: "Competition is now closed."

I'm thinking someone seriously messed up the dates on the dates or something, contests closing before they are even open. >:(
 
Tiny request, can one of the Halo Gaffers, if they have any slots spare, send me a friend request via "TheVeilrae". I live far, far away so the only way I can gauge when you guys and girls are playing customs and/or matchmaking is when I could see one of you on, or two or etc etc. Other than taking the trouble of figuring out time conversions that is!

Pitfall is now structure complete. It looks nothing like the oringal concept as posted above. Do so new piccos later, not to many though. It now looks like an Arabin building which hopefully will spark some divine designs from some people. Also, Bank Heist and Fort are now possible. Do versions that is.

Merguson: I love the screen of seeing from one base, straight through to the other. So pretty.
 
I'm slowly trying to crawl back into Halo, my interest waned horribly waiting for the new maps, but it's been fun getting back into the swing. Once the maps come out, I'd like to hookup with some of the GAF crew for fun and naughtiness again.

Maybe they only allow the first 20 entries and close it immediately? You'd have to be frantically clicking at midnight GMT if that were the case.

that remake was third on my to-do list, but thanks to some ideas i came up with last night it was moved much further down the list

have you tried to turn the map 45° and backing the bases into a corner - it would give you much more room for the central structure and free up some budget as the connecting bridges and arches would be shorter

that was a thought i had in the beginning but when i mapped it out this way it just looked better. while i've been making this i have had my regular xbox playing on my little sdtv. and so far it has come together very well. the dimensions means that it is a little squatter then normal but other than that its coming along great. no work today means i'll be spending a good portion of the day working on it.

here's what i have so far

Speaking of remakes, my Warlock remake is still on track. The proportions of the central platform have been reworked as the jumps were too tricky at normal speed (MLG 110% speed would have been easier to pull off). The four BR platforms have also been resurfaced as they were too un-even and beneath them was too cramped.

Its by no means going to be a carbon copy but I should have it finished either tonight or tomorrow night. I'll have pictures and maybe a video (if I'm not too lazy) by Monday the latest :D

Edit: That looks awesome vhfife. I didn't think it would work in the crypt but it looks good so far.

Double edit: Kibbles, is that your video in MLG's weekly top ten user videos of the week?? :o

Please remain calm, all is well. All is well.

There, now that we have the obligatory Kevin Bacon line out of the way.... run for your lives!

No, seriously. It appears that at least one Bungie AI (most likely Durandal, that son of Traxus) has achieved rampancy again.


As a result, members may notice that the Bungie.Net forums are experiencing technical difficulties. New posts are being inserted randomly into the middle of previous discussion. Yeah, weird. We know. And the fact that we're hearing laughing all through the metaservers leads us to suspect that Durandal and perhaps the Disembodied Soul are somehow cooperating on this incident.

So, containment protocols are in effect. It doesn't mean that much to you (you don't happen to have a Level 12 skin handy, do you?) But we are activating all MADDS and Sentinels and getting our top top people to work on it.

In the meaning, just be "reassured" by something our friend Durandal was fond of saying.

"If things around here aren't working, it is because I am laughing so hard!"

Only joke or something behind this?

Goddamn, Bladed, I love your Warlock remake so far. Looks incredible, can't wait to play it.

And yes, I do believe that that is Kibbles' video.
 
Hopefully we can try out my map in customs (if we do have customs) tonight. I know Cocopjojo wanted to try out EazyB's map, so maybe we could get something going on.

I think the spawns aren't too great, because I designed the map without knowing how the spawns really worked. I tried my best to place spawns in the base and along the "branch" that links the base to the side platforms. I wasn't going to put spawns in the "hub" but I eventually did put spawns near the base walkaway in case there are spawn campers...

We'll see how it works...

I like the look of your map, and have it queued for download.
 
Vhfive.

I think you made the "base" too big.. the inner part of the base was not that huge. so maybe shrink it a bit? that way the area infront of the base is given some room.
 
Wait a minute, this is Warlock?

For some reason, I was thinking of another map when I saw Bladed's pictures.

Warlock is the shit, best map to run around with a shotgun.

Bladed, I can't wait to try it now :lol

Hell yea, and I want it at night. I also want that yellow warthog to be drivable. I want it now!
 
I took a quite nice photo on Sandbox:

I took some really nice sky ones, but they've got the bloody scoreboard imprinted on them, and I suck too much at Photoshop to do anything about it.
