Subject: Forerunner Waste Storage beta map

Randomations has completed it's first Halo level with thanks to Tarzan for his support. This is the beta version of the level, and I would like feedback! Tell me what to change/take out/put in, ect. But I please ask that you not offer critisizm unless you've played the level.

during schooldays and overnight, there will be a server running my level (amongst standard Halo levels like timberland and blood gulch) so once you download the level, and you see a server entitled 'www.freewebs.com/mrgruntsworthy RANDOMATIONS SERVER,' you know that's Randomation's server.

You will find a download link at the bottom of the page. Until approved by halomaps.org's admin, the download is located at Megauploads right now. To use Megauploads, scroll to the bottom of the page, enter in the security code, and hit submit.

INFO:

Description:
A large rectangular 'canyon' with steep slopes on either end;
being where the enemy's entrenchment is. The bottom is piled
with mounds of trash, making traversing the long distance
very nerve-wracking, because A) you're open to snipers, and
B) an enemy could be over the next rise or in the next dip.
Specifically built for team games.

Backstory:
The forerunners, like many other species, had to store their
millions of tons of waste in a temporary location until they
could permanently dispose of it. Waste Storage Facility no.44
is one of them. Located on installation_04, a mechanically
dug landfill plays host to long-forgotten garbage left a
millenia ago.

Reccomendation: Team games, like CTF or Team Slayer. Though,
because of the terrain, it also works extremely well as a one
on one cat and mouse level. Best played with 6-12 people.

Notes: Personally, I would like to throw out a big thanks to
Tarzan, who helped me overcome every single problem that was
thrown my way by the Halo Editing Kit. Also, I would like
to thank everyone who is beta-testing this level and I ask
kindly that you leave feedback on what to change/put in/take
out. Thanks a bunch!

It looks like a good map to me. It has a simple layout, maybe you should work out a tunnel or pipeline system.

remember, this was my first successful foray into Halo mapmaking. I'll do more complicated things as I go along, but as for now as i don't know how to set objects into others (ie. pipe hole in the ground) and make it hollow inside, i can't do that yet... unless, you can tell me how, or point me to a good newb-friendly tutorial? (i use 3DS Max)

I would look around Halo Mods, but 3DS has to be learned.

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

As tribute to bungie it should be Waste Storage Facility no.77. Located on installation_07

true... this is only the beta version, so I can change that for the final version....

Those textures look extremely crappy. You got it half-right... you made it look like garbage, but not like actual garbage. Maybe if you were to add in more detailed textures next time it wouldn't look this cruddy.

But hey, what do I know about making maps?

Man, this map looks fun to play. Looks suitable for juggernaut and quite possibly oddball. CTF on it will be a chaotic, messy fun, and slayer will be standard.

But then again, I don't play CE. =/

a copy of Halo PC is cheap nowadays, and Halo Custom Edition/Halo Editing Kit is absolutely free; go buy Halo PC, install it, and I would be more than happy to direct you to the download for CE and the halo editing kit. (I bought Halo PC for $30 Canadian)

Doesn't look that good or fun to play to be completely honest.

  • 01.19.2007 8:23 AM PDT

well, like i said, it was my first map...

right now im' in the midst of working on my next map, which has taken infinitely longer because of the amount of work i'm putting into it.
