I personaly dont see how you are going to get CTF to work, as once you get in, how will you get out onto a small ramp thing? I also don't think it will be very strategic, as there is nothing but ships and, well, nothing.

BEEP
Wrong answer.
Read the first post, I said I would have Anti-Aircraft Weaponry, only 100x better. This will even the odds for the spartan-on-foot. Not to mention that it will be very easy to get of teh ships when your not the one flying it. Tons of extra seats will be available (ei: gunner, passenger) which will allow you to sit and watch as someone else flys you where you need to go.

Its not the getting out of the vehicles, it the getting out and not just falling into space.

This has been worked out, just land somewhere and you should be fine. other than that, fall damage will be removed (up to a point, we dont want people to survive a fall to the abyss) so you can just jump out with the hanger over something. NOTE: FALL DAMAGE HAS NOT YET BEEN MODIFIED! DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WITHOUT "cheat_deathless"!!

Some people have no respect for how hard this is.
The people at gearbox have said many times that it was impossible, now when it is all done and working, they same "OMFG THIS IS SO EASY, WHAT HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED BY DOING IT?". They are all contradicting themselves.

If you can pull it off, man, go for it. I hope for the best and am excited to see how this level plays!

Thats not my point. When people start cussing just to ask why it was made, that concerns me.
Do you think:
A. They are jealous of the map
B. They just hate me
C. They think its fake
D. They think it truely is the easiest thing ever.

The Marathon, or are you referring to the Marathon Class Cruisers?

Stop confusing us old Bungie fans. XD

For you old farts, i would be referring to the class of cruiser from halo 2.

and i prefer 'supreme dictator of halo ce mapping' rather than 'god'

Hmmm...sounds almost like BF2. Anywhom, this would be a neat idea, but I think it wouldn't be very strategic with CTF. It would be just like CTF on BG(Hop in Warthog, drive to other base, get flag, drive back, repeat.) except with starcruisers.

Hey, I'm new, so if my post completely screws up, sorry.

I've played Hugeass, Pillar crash site, and Abandoned City, and this looks to be the bomb. The combat in close quarters should be pwnage, and the space combat will be a spectacle to behold while looking out the window of a space station. If only there were a mod to support 64 players...*siiiiiigh*

BTW it's Halcyon, not Halycon. That should help.

I support this all the way. Good luck, I'm watching it.

Now that would be nice.. And yes, im sure it would support it too.
Windows will be added, but only in select locations, such as the back of the hangers.
I am currently working on the new halycon model, which adds an inside. there is no bridge, but a hallway marked "BRIDGE" that will allow you to board. Same for "CRYO" (passengers) and "WEAPONS SYSTEMS" (gunner). there is also a shaft with a spiral staircase leading down to the absolute bottom, where you can access teh ship when it is on solid ground. above, near the first hallways, is a path that leads out of the ship, to an umbilical that connects with the station when the ship is docked. This will pretty much be the same for the covy ships. expect the hangers to be double wide, but much shorter. They will contain 2 longswords.

Oh, one problem I've found on Hugeass...the render distance is far, but not far enough. I guess to find the enemy station, your gonna hafta to have signs pointing that way, or just go towards the enemy, bash them, and continue in the same direction.

i know exactly what you can and cant see in the map, and from that, i know that the covi station needs to be moved 1 station in. Then you can see both from either end of the map.
The sky box is HUGE and therefore, i can place an almost impossibly high max fall distance and you will still die from hitting the bottom. : )

It is very glitchy, but I belive it'll work out. Get better texures for the ground, and the covenant ships, and tons more. But this is such a fun map, the beta alone gets a 10/10. This is just..amazing, it's pretty awesome man. But one more thing:
Make The Elevators Work For Non-Hosts
Music Plays All The Time Or No Music
Where's The Ground?
Less Lag
Spawn every vehicle on the map, and get beter vehicular spawn points.
This is just so fun, good job! And I hope you consider my suggestions for teh final!

1. you double posted
2. i dont have any h2 weapons (but yes, they will be included once i get them)
3. I am currently working on a long list of things the map pretty much requires.
4. Is it just me, or does it seem like all the smart, caring people go to bungie.net, but all the cruel, dumb, and evil people goto gearboxsoftware.com? (dont mean to insult anyone that uses gbx, but still...)

Is it just me, or do all the people who have actually made a map go to gearbox, and all the people who haven't come here (with some exceptions of course)?

Man i think this is a very daring project dude and i think it will require a lot of attention to detail if you want it to have good strategy and gameplay, etc. But what u have so far looks -blam!- sweeet. I think this project is great and wish u the best of luck.

Btw, is it going to be like you can walk around in these ships while there flying? If so that seems pretty difficult to do. Or are there just going to be seats or whatever that u press button to enter and u have to be in a seat while ship is flying?

Also, with this idea of anti air and ship to ship combat, wouldnt that mean the ships would have to be destructible??
