Just watched the Str8 montage - the editing was almost too slick and blended a lot of the dongs together.

Very high DPM tho.

Yeah. For some reason, while watching the vid, I started hearing the announcer's voice say "dong" instead of "kill". Towards the end, it was like

"Double Dong!"
"Triple Dong!"
"OverDong!"
"Dongtacular! Donging Spree!"

et al all the way up to "Donging Riot!". Rather redongulous, I think.

 

[EazyB]

I was curious to see how one would deal with the underground section. Your method to elavate the plain the base is on may or may not work in actual play tests but a good idea never the less. Looking good so far. Approve of the bases themselves.

You simply have to forget about making the creek and underground without an elevated plane. What would a Battle Creek remake be without the creek?

Spoiler

a plan old battle.

Dude how long is it taking you to do this.

Too much time man. I'm pretty sure that whenever I finish/give up on this map I'm never touching forge again.

looks good eazy!

Thanks

 

[Nutter]

Looking good EazyB

Looks awesome, EasyB. I can't wait to try it out.

Anyone trying an Ascension remake yet?

 

[Digital Limit]

the people asked, so i delivered.
Sanctum v2
now with lighting

More screens?

 

[Spirit3]

Nah, not Ascension. But once I'm done with Bounty, I'm going to look at Foundation. Or at least a map in the same vain as Foundation, but probably smaller.

My friends and I desperately demand a Damnation remake. Anyone on it?

I'd try my hand at a "spiritual successor" to ascension if I could get an overview of the map

Damnit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a magician!

Spoiler

I was working on one before my borrowed 360 was reclaimed. It'll be done after I pick up a new 360 and finish RE5

 

[Domino Theory]

Nvm.

Much love, Ray.

I would just like to say that this is still the best console shooter out, even in the face of Killzone 2. The AI is still unmatched by anything on consoles and is probably only bested by Crysis on PCs.

 

[Tashi]

What kind of lighting effect is on the pirates map? It looks stunning.

Shivers. If someone can accurately capture Ascension using Sandbox's tools, we should all bow down.

Just finished the Firefly series and Serenity based on innumerable recommendations. Pretty awesome stuff, but it makes the wait for ODST all the more agonizing.

 

[Tashi]

don't worry, i'll make ascension...oh...wait...: (

 

[Insaniac]

man, an overview itself is just not enough to remake this. I'll have to boot up halo 2 at some point

sorry, halo 3 fanboy club registration is closed already, we're not accepting any new members :lol

Spoiler

Just playing around of course I agree!

My WoW account got stolen'D/hack'D, so I guess I'll be playing a lot more Halo 3 this week ;_;

If you're interested in Sci-Fi, you should try Deep Space Nine or Babylon 5. Both are way better than Firefly.

That concept art for Halo Wars is awesome.

 

[Willeth]

Yeah, the thing about Firefly is that it's basically a Western, just set in space.

 

[CitizenCope]

These custom map creations remind me how kick ass Halo 2's maps were. H3 maps not so much.

 

[EazyB]

A brute stroking his beloved chopper. I approve.

[Stormtrooper30]

If you're interested in Sci-Fi, you should try Battlestar Galactica. It's way better than any other television series known to man.

Fixed.

 

[KiKaL]

Anybody play on a lost of custom maps? I'd like to play more of them especially now with sandbox. My XBL is KiKaLs

 

[Sai-kun]

Fixed.

EazyB has compiled a list of all the sandbox variants made by the HaloGAF crew. If you skim the past few pages you should find it, there is a lot of quality stuff in there.

my roomate was telling about that firefly show once. He didn't shut up for the next 3 hours...because he loves it, I hate it.

I think he's looking more for people to play custom games with and not custom maps to play with his peoples.

There's this dude (his XBL is TJ Capt Blood) who pretty much plays exclusively custom maps and is on at almost all times of the day. He's a bit of an asshole sometimes and will kill you if your going to get a perfection but people aint perfect.

Spoiler

Almost every weekend someone (Dani?) organizes a custom game night. Look for it in the online forum.

You're dead to me.

I just want to see your dream of a beaver creek remake realized my friend, and if that means betraying you to ruin your matchmaking experience.......so be it

 

[Willeth]

I would love to see a GAF custom night for folks who don't have Mythic yet. Although if I were going to take part it'd have to be super early for everyone else.

How many people would class themselves as part of EuroHaloGAF?

 

[Insaniac]

I did a quick run through on Halo 2 Ascension trying to eye up some basic measurements. Time to dive into this...

Oh, that's nothing.

Dax isn't real. I'm now convinced he's a parody. A plant, perhaps Frankie himself.

If you're able to pull off anything even remotely similar to Ascension I will be amazed. That's a pretty large and complicated map to recreate in forge. Just thinking about where to start with a remake like that makes my penis soft.

Played some customs late last week with Fin and a couple of you other guys and I must say that it was really fun playtesting all of the maps. We didn't get to try them all out that night I played but "Sky Perch" was a clear favorite for me. It reminded me a lot of Lockout for some reason as it had multiple elevations and lots of jumps that you could take.

That one map that had spawn points pointed outwards towards the ledges was just lots of :lol I would like to play that map again with the fixed spawn points as it had some nice flow through it as well.

Bumper hogs was also lots of fun. I hope you guys were able to try it out on Saturday. I got the updated maps and gametype from Alakaline below with a scoring system that works about 99% of the time now.

Also after now being able to play on the Mythic playlist for a few games, I must say that I am not a fan of Orbital at all. I simply do horrible in that map. The line of sight just do not work for me. This map will take me a long time to get used to.

Default sandbox plays fine I think. Dropping the grav lift at the right spot is key on this map but fear that it is too small to play as a BTB map. Hopefully Shishka has a nice BTB map lined up in one of the 6map variants being released for MM.

Assembly is a great map bar none. Love the jumps you are able to do and will be a new favorite for lots of people.

Thanks Skyperch is my map. You are indeed correct because as I created it I wanted it to have a Lockout-esque feel to it, where jumping around like mad is perilous, and there are a lot of 'ninjajumps' that can give you an edge on opponents. I plan to take some time and fix the floors since there's that glitch that makes walls uneven on skybox.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Good luck. It'll be difficult to remake.

How are you taking measurements?

Nice work. I really did like the map and the fact that I won the FFA was an added bonus and proof to me that the map is awesome. :lol

I like the maps where there are unique jumps that can be made to shorten the distance between critical point A and B. Of course these jumps are not something that is too easy to do but requires a little bit of crouch jumping effort and has consequences (such as death) for missing the shortcuts. If you're remaking Ascension then I have some hope that it can be redone well or at least cause inspiration of a another map that has the same type of feel.

And yes, this was a serious post. :lol

 

[Insaniac]

How are you taking measurements?

Simply by loading up halo 2 and guesstimating. I know measurements won't be perfect but it'd be waaay to tedious and timeconsuming and resource consuming to make it as accurate as possible, but the center radar dish is coming around pretty nicely and seems to be nearly the right size. everything else will be based off that.
