its not the fall that kills you, its the sudden stop at the end.

hallo i know there are a million halo ce maps out there and the last one i made was kinda just a test to see if i could make one that ppl would actually enjoy playing. well the map kinda got lost to the way side cuz it was labeled as a tutorial variant but i was o so much more, the people that i did convince to play it via forums and what not did seem truly enjoy the gameplay. i do muss the days of halo 1 and would like to create at least one more map before moving on to halo 2 map making but the question i have, i have been away from both gaming and map making for a long time. so A. do ppl still play halo ce. and B, is there any people out there looking for solid NEW maps not a variant or a mod. i know that most new maps are very choppy and do not fit together very well but i try very hard to make a map feel as much not user made as i can.
so if anyone has any comments that would be great thanks for even reading this kinda stupid post. i will also post some screens if i get to a point in gmax that i feel would look good enough to show to people.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

If you create a great original map I'm sure lots of people will use it. I'm tired of the maps that are too basic or ripped from someone else.

Long live the Last Refuge!

Yeah make something that will fell epic when you play 8v8 on it. Maybe a bunch of islands contected with briges and put boats, and other stuff in it. Just don't make a map to big like ColdSnap. That map was -blam!- huge.

New and unique maps are always welcomed.

Also, don't move onto Halo 2 map making. There isn't really much there. There are a ton more people on Halo 1.

thank you for the responses, im actually working on the gmax model right now. the concept that im going with as of now is a map that is a- symmetrical and has a sort of halo 3 high ground feel to it, it is not a re make of that map nor is it at all setup like it but. there is a beach that leads trough a little chaos to base that is built into a mountain side. that is kinda what im going for now.

for anyone interested on what my work looks like. ill give a link to my last map or rather mod. it is a tutorial map variant BUT it has alot to offer for those who will give it a chance. my new map with have the same feel to is but a custom made model for the map itself. so not a mod of anymap. read some of the notes of the map to see its full potentional i have some really cool scripts in there such as one that prohibits the flag carrier from going through the teliporter. i kinda over populated the map with the scenery so it kinda pops in and out of view cuz halo's engine cant handle all of it but i was going for a very dense combat feel. i like my maps to feel like they are from the single player and not just a box that you fight in.
