Just thought I'de post this here, maybe convince some of you to switch to CE.
A long while ago I started working on a vehicle for Halo Custom Edition.
It is extremely large ship with a full interior. It is called the Draco
The idea was simple. Make a big ship that had interior parts you would see in a small cruiser. So, I drew out my blueprints, and started modeling. It started off simple, with hallways and a simple bridge. I then added more and more hallways and rooms. I then began working on the hull. A little later it was looking great, but a little boxy. Given time I fixed that. But that wasn't for a while. The next step after making this amazing, but boxy ship, was to get it ingame. And so was born the Draco. But, it took a while to get it flying. A few touch ups later, and the Draco was a near perfect battle system, complete with a little bonus.
Which brings us to where we are now, the map itself.
From the beginning, a rock much like halo was planned as the map that would first house the Draco. After some failure with making two, I decided on making just one, with a river canyon down the middle and connected by an energy bridge. And so, now I had a beautiful map to work with.


So, that may or may not have convinced you to get Halo CE, and if you already have it, you may or may not like this map, but that's just what I've been up to besides Trepidation.

CE is great, I just can't find enough people to play with.

Maybe this'll change that.

Forgot to add this:
Due to the fact that I always let people test my maps in a more public way than exclusive betas, I can give the map to anyone. Just email me @ admiralbacon@gmail.com.
On another note, the 'little bonus' is called the "Firefly" and it looks a lot better than the picture, just haven't gotten any newer ones.

If you are going to try and show of some nice maps, atleast show off sime nice maps. The Draco was ok, but the map was far from "beautiful". It looks like you spent an hour in total doing it.

Sooo...is this already out or am I crazy?
You should add some stuff to it, like the ability to stick to the floor of the thing, like in Matrix Creek, but only to the floors. You also need a new map. It would be freaking awsome if you could make Helljumper pods or something, or at least a way for people to jump out on people.
I think that you should make a Boarding Action like map, but more Halo 2 Style with boarding craft and stuff. Or maybe just a teleporter to a boarding craft already docked I really don't know. Nice looking vehicle but the map looks like no fun.

I don't play CE, so I'm not really the right person to comment, but still...

I think that the bridge in the middle being the only passage to the other half of the map is going to ruin it. All the action is going to take place at that chokepoint, making the rest of the map obsolete...

It is still a work in progress, and I'm adding tunnels (already added one, but it's rough)
Also, the map is based around the Draco, not around walking, otherwise it would be much smaller.
And the people telling me to not use the Draco are, well, stupid. I made the map for the Draco, not the other way around. If I remove it, what the heck is the point of making the map? I spent 3 months perfecting a ship and 3 weeks on the map so far. I'm not removing it. Period.

Why is everyone telling me to make some other map?
This is the map, period. It's like showing someone a recipe for apple pie and they say "make cherrie".
Also, what do you mean by the sticky comment? If you are referring to the map, that makes no sense. I assume you are refferring to the ship, in which case it doesn't work and has been tried.
Also, the map is not done, but I have betas that people can play, you just need to email me.

There a many custom UI maps you can use, megacheater1, they're on halomaps.org

I do want to get the map as 'perfect' as humanly possible.

EDIT:
WTF is DS KIller, He is NOT on the team that made coldsnap AT ALL. Coldsnap was made by Tiamat, I know who worked on it because I beta'd ( :P )
