i have an idea

[reeper 898]

this is an idea that I want your opinion on it.

map title: Out Break
map base: A dark crashed ship with areas of low gravity, dark rooms, torn in half, and with many aesthetics. Will be a competitive and a just for looks map.
unique features: A home made aesthetic weapon of my design, real turrets, and a special Easter egg.

Please tell me your opinion and give me a tip of what you would like to see.
I'll take all opinions and tips until I'm done.
I will take a few pictures of my progress and will start on it as soon as I can.

it sounds awesome but make sure to have many layers to make it even better

 

[reeper 898]

sure dose 3 layers sond good

 

[Ninja]

sounds great and make sure to have many ways to get up and down them

 

[reeper 898]

ill put broken elevator shafts an stairs and might put little peace's floating so you can

 

[Ninja]

sweet, one problem i see is if it is too easy to get down but is hard to get up

 

[reeper 898]

not if I use player traits to have low gravity in the shafts so nothing else Is affected

 

[Ninja]

that sounds cool or you could use gravity zones

 

[mazdak26]

what kind of map is this? Is this an infection map? what do you mean by compettive? BTB? 4v4? 2v2? 1v1?

Whatever it is, I hope it work out well, and I wish you the best in making your map.

 

[reeper 898]

thanks and it will include flood, party of 8-12, regicide, dominion, hopefully extraction, CTF, and assault.

 

[mazdak26]

wait, do I assume if you have dominion, then it will be a vehicle map?
oh, and you do realize that assault was taken out, right?

hey reeper i got your message so i came to check out the thread.

i agree with mazdak - you should be a little more specific about what you want this map to be played for, so we can better help with ideas.

from what you've described so far, it sounds like something that would be great for Flood.

i've seen a couple maps that use a cool effect that might work for this -

using a combination of lighting and special effect pieces, they made it really really dark in the map, and then they used upside-down gravity zones in certain spots (the visible ones, NOT the invisible) and it ended up looking like little fireflies were floating around the map. i thought it was a really creative and cool effect, and it might work out well for a map like this.

i would also recommend using the dominion pieces like the Terminal Wires to make it look like a damaged ship as well.

that's about all i can say without having more details or seeing pictures of the map.

not if I use player traits to have low gravity in the shafts so nothing else Is affected

putting gravity zones kind of breaks immersion, especially if you're going for a theme. I would suggest adding plenty of stairs and lifts, or, you could have the ship crashed at a 45 degree angle so you can not only walk around the floors, bt also walk up what would normally be the walls if the ship was crashed, though you do need to make sure it is clear which the floor and ceiling are by adding various tables and monitors.

 

[reeper 898]

ok ill try that and the dominion will work by 3 peace's and I want it to mainly be slayer, dominion, and flood.

 

[mazdak26]

coll, so a casual, themed, slayer all around map. I like the idea! go for it!

 

[reeper 898]

I just want the halo community to be happy with a new and unique map

 

[mazdak26]

yes, of course!

oh, BTW "batllefield" is 1 word.

 

[reeper 898]

this is going along well but a few more ideas would not hurt

thank you all

I like the idea of the tilt in the map i think it adds alot to the overall feel. I think the elivator should have pipes or similar things on the walls so you can jump up but keep stairs moderately close by but make sure there is an advantage to going up the elivator

 

[reeper 898]

the advantage is you get up quicker and I can do the tilt but it wont work in the 4D witch means you have to look up or down all the time and/or its unbalanced.
its a good idea but wont work in a match.
