i recommend getright for a dl manager personally.

actually coldsnap took effort in the area of gettting that big of a map to work, plus all the scripting. Yes, the map does have a very crappy layout, i can do better and make it look better.

now here is a very bad map -->http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=2168

According to other people's signatures, 98% of America has tried or is addicted to marijuana. If you are part of the 95% of the people who don't live in America, then add this to your signature.

Jahrain is a legend, and Coldsnap, Hugeass and such other maps are t3h suck. There are far better ones out there. Hugeass is good for RP i.e. not playing properly and messing about, but nothing else - it's just to big. Also, everytime I cross the bridge on Coldsnap in a vehicle, I fall through.

ya, i hate those maps where they put absolutely no thought in the actual map. all they care about is the custom content and not the gameplay.

Don't bother, there's already a few 'test' servers up.

We left before you came.

Try a lazylink. and yes his map is impressive, but it takes alot more to be hired by Bungie then just being able to make a good map.

just looked at the level. layout is good, but the textures arent so hot. The cliffs just looked bad up close, there were uvw problems, lack of detail. stairs *though looked good for replicating zelda* just looked bad, bump map was worse. the motorcycle did not have the right animations for getting on and off.

i call it an average map

EDIT: yes, from afar everything does look good. But i'm naturally critical. Those textures shoudl at least have a detail map, if not a primary map also to go over the base texture. There is also the problem with the water in the trences, but i know why that is. The new sky is VERY nice to say the least, but it is very glitchy for lower-end cards.
if i did have to give it a rating, possibly a 7.25

I agree. Grove Final, however, is 'PWNT!' in .map format. Arteen beats Jahrain hands down. It's just so well thought out, and well mapped. Also, check out Hypothermia. It's still in development, but it looks cool. Pardon the pun.

Love that map, Grove Final. Sadly there are no servers ever running it.

If you want to talk about consistant good map makers, I point you in the direction of Arteen's and FireDragon04's maps.

The sad thing is, I know DA Ender....
I've never told him his maps suck.

Ender only creates vehicle maps for the purpose of people having fun on them and not actual Halo gameplay taking place. The same goes for Tiamat's maps.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Yeah. Your map doesn't need fancy graphics and state of the art particle effects to be fun. Hugeass, coldsnap, chaosgulch, and yoyorast island are great examples...speaking of yoyorast, when does v. 2 come out?

He says he's in the final stage of his remodeling stage but hasn't given a date.

If you guys really want a good map try Portent. I can't seam to stress how good this map is enough. It's posibly the best map for CE, worth the download.

I have portent...it's a very well balanced map. To bad not many people play it. But I wouldn't mind seeing Bungie make something similar.

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

Yeah that is such a well done map. Most Custom Edition maps are just 'meh' varients of standard maps with a few new vehicles and weapons or just very plain and/or poorly designed open maps with a few novelties "cough coldsnap cough".
