hello everyone i have my first map, it is not 100% original it is the tutorial map from halo 1 editing kit but completly and i mean completly redone it is a foresty map much like the first lvl of halo 3 i is made for 2-4 ppl, this is the alpha build but i am testing it anyway as a beta. there are many many bugs mainly the fact that every weapon on the map will fall through the map after the first 10 seconds and on some gametypes different parts of the geomitry appear/disapear, but the basic lvl layout is there with a fraction of what the finished one will look like but i would like to get some feedback with just pistols as weapons on this map. o and if u can fix the weapon thing i will personaly ship you a sandwich because u deserve it! i want to know what u think, what weapons to use ( i allready have them on there sniper, covi snipe, carbine, needler that sticks needles when meeled, needle grenade, flashbang grenade, brute and reg plasma and assalt rifle ) but u cant see or use them so feedback is great, or if u think the forest is to dese not enuff, this lvl is very small but if u crouch it is very easy to hid even if you are directly in someones line of sight u will see what i mean when u play it is a very great and dirrerent experience
i also am giving it a little different element of gameplay which is not in the beta but i am working on. each gun is loaded but has no spare amo u must pick up each guns amo while fighting through the DENSE forest either by accident or stradagy i want to see how that will work out.

once again thank you for looking or participating. with your permision i would like to include each beta tester in the credits of the map.

here is the link for the .rar file containing the .map file and a readme. thank you again i hope to make a truly above avrage map.

UPDATED: ok i put together a few clips of the map in its early and more recent states so you can get a quick look to determine if you are interested you will see how small it is but what i have notice that in this map the less you move the better you can litteraly disapear if your character is black or green. so hear you go, also if you are not going to play please feel free to post what your thoughts are on this map im only trying to make it better. http://youtube.com/watch?v=gYS5QfWYJQc

I'm tall, white, and male. Therefore I am automatically the bad guy.

This is the strangest thing to ever happen to me while playing Halo.

I'll check it out once I get on my good computer.

I really like this map it's perfect for 1v1 and 2v2 as you said. The only bugs I saw were the rock sticking out inside red base that disappears when you look at it at a certain angle, your river comes out of no where and ends up going into no where (Though I'm sure you know that already), the gun disappear glitch (Again, you know about it), the teleporter behind red base sticks out too far, and when you shoot the explosive barrels by the Warthog by the fire when the Warthog is right-side up it will fly and sometimes land right on a spawn point. Other than that I love this map and I really hope you get into Halo 2 PC modding cause their current maps I have seen are pretty much 'I just spent 5 minutes making a map shaped like an "L" and I deseve a reward!' but you clearly took time on this map and I can't wait for the final. As a suggestion, the Warthogs are a little big for this map and you may want to try to find some tags for a small vehicle. Again, great map! And your Youtube thing about the Halo 3 Beta sniper was somehow funny in a screwed up sort of way.

thank you i really aprechiate it, yea i know the warthogs are out of place i think im going to remove them (exept for the turned over one if i could turn that into a piece of scenery i would thats all its there for. the rive was from a waterfall but it was way to big to fit and the spray from it covered ALL of red base so i thought it was a fair compramise. so far i have fixed the weapon glitch for most of the weapons i have a needle grendade that is really giving me a run for my money it doesnt quite work yet but were getting there. i will be gone for the next 2 days but when i return i would love to play a couple of games. o the rock in the base is taken care of, i was afraid to tuch it before because there are SO many other things i could acidently click on but i did it. and the teleporter is sadly a problem i have to live with because it is embeded into the 3d model of the map so it cant be changed without starting over but i did notice if you are fighting in the back of the base you often accidently run through it but maybe it will save your life one day who knows.

i am about 80% convinced to remove the hogs i dont really like vehicales anyway but it is fun driving around the center.

again thank you for looking i hope you enjoy the beta there will be more people with it soon i found several on halo pc last night and i have a few friends just getting settled into colledge so they will start playing soon.

one last think "your river comes out of nowhere and goes nowhere" ....lmao... some of the best things in life can not be explained, i mean blood gultch is just a box canyon in the middle of nowhere no way in or out as stated in rvb and its a classic lvl, thank again for the feedback.

o one more bug found..... you cant shoot the fusion cores with the human snipe... dont know why yet i think its a colision problem that cant be fixed as far as i know.

o and this might be why most people dont make maps that look like the one that i made because of all the scenery in the small area your mouse goes out the window and math and grids come into play alot of people are afraid of thigs that look like this. http://img458.imageshack.us/img458/25/sapien2007082417085595z y6.png............... just kidding all you other map makers i have alot of respect.

In high definition baby!

I watch the video and I think it's good for 4 players free for all map, but put more obstacles in the middle.

thanks for the input yea alot of that was while i haddnt even moved away from the warthog corner there are alot of things now still workign though, i did something to make the river seem less .... nowhere...ish.. you will see what i mean in the final version. a major reason why i kept is small is becasue of all of the vegitation having to do this to a larger map with just me forget it also visualy it would lag terrible with more than four it probably will anyway o well its beutiful.
