i think you've already talked about this but if you're in need of walls there's modded maps with a TON more. The downside is it's only wall/window coliseums and you wouldnt get any other walls

I also have a map modded to have a lot more lights. although its a bit glitchy

If you still are having the drop-in spawn for the spartans with the damage as they land, their is an easy solution. When players fall on an embankment with Reach's physics, they sometimes slide off of it keeping their momentum. If you place a slope with the right angle underneath the landing area, then you can keep the fall, remove the damage, and have them thrown forward into the fight for faster action. It might take some experimentation to find the right angle or to make the slope fit with the aesthetics, though.


Wow that is very interesting to know. I'll have to try this out.


The ramp method works, but a slightly more elegant (And more expensive) is to place 2 one way shields. Have them both where you want the spartan to land. Place the first one, Orange side facing away from the ground, about 1/8 of a spartan's height from the ground. Place the second one about 7/8 SH directly above it, Orange side facing the ground. This way you can still effectively keep the explosion effect without fall damage.

I want players to lose their shields when they fall. It's part of the effect. I want them to hear the 'beep beep beep' just like in ODST. I don't want them to lose too much or take health damage though. Which probably means it's not getting into matchmaking...

Oh well. I'll still have a kickass trailer when it's done.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I've already used 50 walls...

on phase 1...

So idk how this is going to work out at all. Phase 1 is so action packed, but now I only have 49 walls for phase 2 and 3.

I guess I'll have to build a plaza with a pelican on it again -____-

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

You may just want to build the entire gameplay area first, and then work with what you have left for aesthetics.

I'm almost tout of 4000 budget too. These maps require a lot of extravagant pieces, specifically the Brace Large.

Here's the premise for Phase 1:

The building in this picture is where the main fighting takes place. The territory is outside of it on the street. 1 or 2 players rush the territory in a mongoose while the rest enter this building and gain control of it. Once they have control from the elites, they can shoot through windows to help the guys by the territory. If they don't gain control, those guys are sitting ducks and Elites will be picking them off from that bridge.

I love this idea because it emphasizes teamwork and it gives something fun to do to those players who don't want to sit in territories all day. However, I've built it too large and extravagant, and now I have 'dead corners' on the map that just exist because they join coliseum walls together.

I'm gonna work on a redesign but try and keep this same concept.

What do you guys think of the initial drop? Should I keep it or save 350 bucks and do something else?

You know, if it bothers you, there's a small peripheral that conjoins with your computer and fits in the palm of your hand. You use it to select what you are interested in, right?

Next time, use it to click on a different thread.

Nobody is bump spamming. I'm replying to the thread with either an update on the map concept or a response to a question from someone. If somewhere down the pages it went off topic then that's cool--threads go off topic once in a while. But you're not making it any better.

I don't see why it bothers you at all what people are doing in a thread you're not interested in. It's not like the forums are so busy and this is pushing other threads down. You don't need to come here to tell us how to run the show. We know what we're doing.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Coming from someone who didn't like your think twice map. This looks really nice. Keep it up man!

The part that worried me was when you said you running out of budget and looking to redesign again.

I'm currently at 6200 budget left. I really hate building with the glitched canvas cause I have to drag the walls from where they are to where I want. It makes the process take nearly twice as long as it should.

I'm gonna do a walkthrough of what I have and post it here again. Sadly, it doesn't seem like many people will be seeing it other than you. I might just do another thread again.

can't believe this forum died.

Sorry for the lack of activity. Maybe you could post your walkthrough to 343?

Oh. Well that sucks. the Halo online community really has shrunk then. It's too bad we can't send your finished map back in time to when lots of people still played this game.
