-sniper rifle/focus rifle=maybe have them on a central location to fight over, or spawn in base what were you planning on?
-grenade launcher: depending whether it is overpowered or not-its a power weapon its a little overpowered but its not TOO overpowered
-spartan laser: possibly underused, but we will see-very underused switch out for rockets but no extra ammo


Flak cannon- what is this?

My txt= bold


Sniper or fucus rifle will probarly placed in the center of the tunnel, this way you must walk longer to get to a higher spot for decent sniping

Grenade launcher could be overpowered, since the map is quite close quarters, but it worked well in powerhouse so...

I am definately NOT placing rockets :p, I am planning to put the laser on the ledge where the skull is in campaign, this way it will be used, with a chance of kills

The flak cannon is the new name for the fuel rod gun, you can see that in the weapons tab from the customizable firefight list in the bungie weekly update with the description: "We have liftoff!"

I think "Hydrophobia" would be a neat name for it.

Ooh, not bad, not bad at all, I will surely consider.
I just found it neat if I would name the map after the words that stand on one of the buildings in that campaign part :).

Ok, since it is going off topic like TOM T 117 said, I will post no more on this thread, unless it is purely on-topic. If you have a reaction send me a B.net message. Thank you all for your ideas and thank you TOM for warning me

I did that tunnel, I had halo 3 since the first day (25 sept 2007 if not mistaken) and I only had Xbox live (I mean Live not gold) in june 2009... So that's nearly 2 years of campaign experience, yeah I know a lot of Sierra 117 as well :p, added you to the list :)
alright pm me when you want to get to that.

(I might be changing it soon so message me if you can't find me)

I would love to play test. It sounds great braa.

Count me in for ANY map play-test.

  • 08.16.2010 10:01 AM PDT

EXistence PROhibited!
Feel free to join my group, the Vault of Lore

I want it. DataBase90. And playtest, sign me up!

Question: Would you consider yourself a good forger? I want to have an idea of how awesome exactly it will be.

But honestly, I doubt it will be a well balanced slayer map, team or FFA, I'd prefer using it as an objectives map. Multi Flag, Neutral assault, one bomb or one flag.

Also, I see it being very good with territories, for example that ODST version that become popular in Halo3... Everyone battling for terirtory 3 on the bridge...

@ Elite Martyr
Having the Splazer on the ledge with the skull might make it a little too out of the way. From what i know the Splazer is severely underused as an anti infantry weapon. Having it in there is A-OK but expecting to see people use it often is unrealistic. Heatmaps, check this out and you will see what i mean. Set the options to Construct and make the search for the Splazer only. It has always been in construct, but nobody uses it. So all of those kills are 3 years of play, maybe 200 kills with the splazer. Need a different power weapon. But who knows maybe ppl will use it in your map.

@ Database
Territories would be a good gametype for this as well. It would be good to jetpack over the chasm to stop the enemy from gaining their first or even second territory.

Put me on the list! It looks loke a great map and cant wait till what it will come out to!

  • 08.16.2010 3:27 PM PDT

I <3 drop shields


Posted by: Spartan1357
On second thought a second bridge might not be a necessary add on. The jetpack point does present reasonable means to get to and from the sides, and the getting the flag across the bridge part would make for some excellent encounters.

One does not just walk back to their own base. lol this is a great idea.

I just figured id move my post here easier to discuss on one thread.

I'd also love to playtest. Name is the same as on the forums here.

-DMR=must, no starts but have 3-4 on each side.
-needle rifle=yes, swap out for DMR on desired points
-plasma repeater=yes 3-4
-spiker=not a big fan of this weapon
-sniper rifle/focus rifle=maybe have them on a central location to fight over, or spawn in base what were you planning on?
-grenade launcher: depending whether it is overpowered or not-its a power weapon its a little overpowered but its not TOO overpowered
-spartan laser: possibly underused, but we will see-very underused switch out for rockets but no extra ammo
-Shotgun/gravity hammer/sword: finding out what will be more balanced-either 1 or both referring to sword and shottie, central area must fight over
-maybe concussion rifle instead of grenade launcher-know nothing of the CR w8 and see
-minor weapons like needler or so may find their way in aswell-definitely needlers for both teams
-maybe a turret on the roof of each base, but we'll see

weapons NOT featuring:
Rocket launcher
Plasma launcher
Flak cannon- what is this?

My txt= bold


The flak cannon is the internal name for the fuel rod gun. I basically agree with what you said except for a few things:

For close range I would go with shotty, the Hammer/sprint combo was ridiculous during the beta and it doesn't look like it's been changed all that much. Shotgun seems to fit the theme for the map plus it's probably the least annoying of the three right now. I wouldn't use laser, it's basically just like adding another sniper and you don't need that many power weapons for this map.

yeah definitely good call on giving each team 3-4 DMR's that they can use. And I think it's probably a good idea to go with either grenade launch or concussion rifle they seem to be counterparts of sorts.

very nice, please let me know when you're ready

I created it in forged state now (someone made all the Reach forge objects in SketchUp, they also have the right shape and size. And the map is going to be a lot bigger than expected, to give you an idea: the door opening from your base is twice as high as you are.

I agree this was a great part of halo 3s campaign and it looks like it could be an amazing map. You should look into the lvl where you get dropped off with snipers in the start out and toward the end you fight off the scarab.

  • 08.18.2010 8:58 PM PDT

There once was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died.

The end.

SCFH

il help.

we would probably need to do this by a area of water, so it will actually feel like the real campaign map.

  • 08.19.2010 6:33 AM PDT

How'd you find me?

Pretty cool, dude. I'm guessing you're going to be using forge world for this. But how will you get the cliff formations in? Or will you just stick it in the middle of the water and forgo the cliffs and rocks?

No songs from Sweet for Halo maps :p. (lovely song btw).

Just to make clear: I won't make this map instantly when Reach comes out, I will first play campaign and stuff. You can expect it end of September/begin of October
