G'Day there,

Just to give you a bit of an intro...

My friend has created a new FREE top down 1st person shooter (GTA style) called Subvein. It combines using weapons, vehicles and a wide variety of skills to take out your opponent. It has RPG elements to it as you get to slowly build up you character through your choice of skills, but you still get fast paced and hectic matches with up to 12 or more people involved. You can play all out battle matches, CTF or even a new race mode called checkpoint where you use the vehicles to race around a pre-determined course (While trying to stop the other team using your weapons and skills of course ;-) ). The game is not yet fully completed, so if you join in you can pitch your ideas and have a say in how it gets created.

The reason I'm talking about this, is that the creator has put in a map editor where you can create your own maps using the standard textures or a whole new texture map (like i have done). With my love of Halo, I decided to try and recreate a few of my favorite Halo multi-player maps. I have tried to be as faithful to the original maps as possible in map layout and textures, while still striving to create a fun and playable map with the features provided.

This first one is a remake of 'The Pit'

Here is a remake of 'Narrows'

And finally, 'Foundation'

These are really just teasers. The best way to see them is to download the game HERE and to start a new game and load up the maps so you can walk around them. Or even better, join a server and have some crazy fun killing other people.

I hope you feel like you are back playing Halo when you play on these maps :-P
