I'm posting this because I want the community's opinion on this single player map:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8847729185148300899&q=contact+halo+ce&total=17&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1

I need to know: Should I revive the project on this map, or scrap it altogether? Thoughts, opinions, whatever... I just want to know, 'cause I'm seriously considering moving to H2V very very quickly.

it doesn't look all that fun.

The encounters are really, really simple. The map layout is kinda cool, at about the 1:30 mark I like the intertwining areas etc. But it's basically go into a room, some guys, shoot them, over and over again. I wouldn't say completely scrap it though. Try redoing the encounters, think of a unique situation you want to put the player in.

The only thing I saw that had potential was the boss fight. Would be cool to see you coming up from the center of the platform in the middle and being surrounded by a shitload of covies, and 1 big badass guy charging at you. Would be a fun fight :P

That terrain looks awfully pointy.

That terrain looks awfully pointy.

Polish it up some more, and make some interesting encounters that require CQB expertise, not just skill with a rifle.

I think the problem is...I make it look too easy. :p

But I understand, it's pretty linear. The terrain is absolutely awful, except for the starting cutscene, 'cause I only had 10000 polys to work with for the whole map. I'll probably just release it as-is.

well if your not gonna finish it, release it, no need for work to go to waste now

looks simple...

but an ok start.

I like the whole concept, but the execution is sort of poor, its good for a sp map compared to me tho i never tried making one, always wanted to but haven't yet, might (emphasis on the might my lifes sort of busy) if I'm bored over the summer and I finish my current "experimentation" project I'm working on, I may have a go at an idea for a single player map idea I've had in my head for a while...

Your map somehow reminds me of the pre-released images shown of halo. (open areas with hills and such) its a neat idea I think but the encounters look very simple, also the modeling isn't amazing. Keep working on it I'd say, or just release if you want to.

EDIT: yeah... none of the enemies you encountered seemed to move much at all or anything, they sort of just stood there shooting at you in one spot, while u killed them.

encounters require firing positions to be fun

It's not that great, but keep working on it. It has potential.

[nooBBooze]

I might give it a shot but only because sp>mp.

I thought AI usually jumped about and stuff, those AI did not take cover or anything.
