Cold front just came through and it's a breezy 75 degrees here in Memphis, TN. It must suck to be Canadian right now, those poor mooses has no ice to sit on.

And OMG NEW VIDOC.
please?

Edit: Cardinals are in the bottom of the 15th right now. Sweet game.

Too bad that wouldn't work seeing as how Kill Balls are static objects.

:(
Yeah, it's a real shame Killballs can't move once placed. I had a sweet idea for a volcano map which would spew out killballs. Totally works in Forge, but whenever I save the killball freezes :( Still pretty fun to play on in Forge mode though.

I started working my own Terminal remake.. but I think I may have been a bit too ambitious :(
i'll crash one of your forge sessions sometime and see if i can help/encourage you

I remember this Terminal discussion like a couple hundred pages back :lol

Fusion coils might do the job.
so do i but i think it was dualx that was making it
 
What's with all of these 100 degree temps!? We should be getting that here! Didn't even make it over 85 today.

Now for something slightly more on topic...

I wanted to see how long Neosho was, so I found a game I played and looked at the gameviewer. Seems like its about twice as long at the main floor of Sandbox.

Thought I would get my next map done by today... nope.
It was too nice outside
 
DualX tried to do terminal some time ago, quickly realized that only on re-imagining was possible. I never got to try it and now that I've checked, he removed it from his file share. Try using Bnet to download some other attempts, I'm sure there are some out there. Most will be utter shit but some could be decent.

My forge sessions are just filled with save, quit, restart, and repeat as I try to place single objects over and over again. It's something no one should have to sit and witness.

Think the scale might be off there. It'd be easier/better to just time how long it takes you to run across both.

Right after I posted that I had the same thought.

I'll just say its about 100 times the size, sounds about right.
 
I've found that while I don't have the patience to build a new map, going back and looking at older maps I'd build and abandoned has been interesting. I just redid sections of two of my maps, one for tweaks and the other for a major overhaul. Looking back, I can clearly see my own learning curve, both with Forge and with map design in some of the earlier ones.

I found that I'm easily fixing major issues that I just didn't see before, which is kind of sanctifying since I thought Centrifugal had promise but just never really got there. Hopefully we can try it out this weekend and see if it has now.

a really cool mlg map just came out called chromatic. even if you don't like mlg i'm sure it'd play well on normal settings too, so check it out!!
Looks interesting.

MLG (playlist variant) needs some more asymmetrical types. I'm not sure if 1-CTF is in the variant, though. Still, Oddball, Team King, and Team Slayer can work.
 
Ooh, vidoc! Will watch tomorrow.

Also, I have a question for ya'll. I Haven't really taken screenshots since January, bit fuzzy on some of the details of the photo system.

Is Xbox Live Gold a prerequisite to moving the screens from my Xbox to Bungie.net to my PC? I have a humorous tale to tell, but it'll be decidedly less humorous without pictures. Nothing's showing up in my recent pics on Bungie.net, so I'm beginning to wonder if my campaign pictures are being held hostage :|
 
The backdrop in the last vidoc scene reminded me of the environment outside of Ivory Tower'd windows. Dammit, I want an Ivory Tower remake and we're never gonna get it. :(

These ODSTs may be headed feet first into hell, but they’re going to make damn sure it’s crowded with Covenant when they get there
Awesome quote.

Downloading right now. Didn't realize how near Urk actually meant. Awesome surprise.
 
ViDoc was awesome! Hype rising...

In other news, I spent the last few days (6 days) re-building Mage from the ground up (hoping not to run into item limits and budget restraints this time). Mage v3.0 is now in my 'share for anyone interested.

DL'ing it later tonight. I thought the prior 2 versions were really well put together. What did you do differently to avoid the budget-blues?

Dammit I wish the site weren't blocked for me at work.

At least that download link for the podcast isn't, for some reason. Guess Websense didn't catch it. Thanks for that link GhaleonEB; I never got around to listening to it before.

Is the ViDoc gonna be up on Xbox Marketplace like they've been in the past? I really enjoy watching them that way, and I kept all the videos released so far on my hard drive.

Yep, if it isn't now, it will be shortly.

I used a lot more of the original pieces than I did in the V2 iterations. I'm still at $11 left but I have everything in and higher side walls so its not as easy (if at all possible) to escape. If anyone does find a way out I'd love to know about it.

Which is why every remake on Sandtrap will never be the same. :(

Reach perhaps? I doubt it, though. Same with Relic and Terminal.
 
I'd love to have a remake of Ivory Tower, Headlong, Terminal and...I miss Waterworks for BTB as well. Making stalagtites land on the opposing team NEVER got old.

When it comes down to it, they'd end up remaking every freakin map in Halo 2 if they went off of everyone's requests haha
 
Awesome VidDoc! Very well done.

Anyway, I hope this thread is still active once ODST drops. I was going to buy the new maps and get back into Halo3, but I'm going to wait 'til ODST. Gives me a chance to clear out a few games out of my gaming backlog.
