Right, so dane and i decided we wanted to build another halo-style map.

i decided i dont want to pull another shitty layout out of my ass, so we're going to do a remake. thing is.. a remake of what.

post suggestions of maps which have great gameplay, and you'd like to see remade into a lovely piece of game artistry :3
any map will do really, as long as it's playable.

i need something to do in my spare time, and me and dane have been talking about doing this for a while now, so we decided to go forward with it.

tl;dr: doing a map remake, next-gen mode, need map to remake, post suggestions.
--
what NOT to do:
--
1. post map names with no pix
2. post map names with no links
3. post 5 map names with no pix or links.
4. post posts that arent related to this at all.


werd.

--
what you SHOULD do:
--
1. post one, maybe two maps (for halo preferred, but other games, such as UT, or hl2 or whatever are fine too)
2. add two pictures of said map(s).
3. add a WORKING download link to the map, so that i may download it, and actually see what we'll be remaking.

I never said a remake, I'm just saying that I stole the basic layout and am working on an entire new level designed around DC's layout :\

Keep it simple. Start off small and make small things so you'll actually get them done.

Do my planned (but not yet atteampted) remake/reinvention of Hang 'Em High, but as a UNSC vessel crash site. The two bunkers will be Albatross drop pods, the large ramp will be a Pelican dropship, the small ramp will be an overturned Scorpion tank hull, and the tombstones will be ODST drop pods. The bases, hallways, catwalks and gallows will be debris from the ship itself, and the long ledge and wall between the two bases will be compromised of the actual ship itself. The opposite wall will now be a dropoff with a waterfall leading out of the combat area. The cliff-wall over Blue base will have a waterfall leading into the combat area, and will flow down the trench towards Red base, then curve over the edge to feed the other waterfall. The cliff-wall over Red base will have a crashed Longsword fighter imbedded in it. Also, blue base will now be more accessable, and red base will get more cover, to even out objective-based games.

I'll have a birds-eye-view concept sketch in a bit.

That gives me an idea for a remake. For another game, though.

I like the integration of forerunner architecture.

I'm already working on my full-scale overhaul of Rat Race that adds vehicular combat and better interaction between all areas of the map, as well as gives it a viable setting, so, no you can't has (doubt that you would want to, though).

I never thought Fissure Fall was ugly, but if Dane and Tweek make it, it'll be horrendous in comparison to theirs.

I agree, Fissure Fall please. That was one of the first CE maps I got, and I love it.

I also agree. Fissure Falls gets my vote.


Also Zeph, you can't be serious ._.

I agree with a remake of an old classic Halo CE map, such as Fissure Falls. Although you might want to consider Nightcamp_CE (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=350), ParanoidX2 (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=365), Cliffhanger (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=209), x2mudslide (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=528), Blood_Islands (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=175)or Quagmire (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=267). They all have awesome gameplay and do look alright already, but i'd love to see you guys make something that's already awesome even more so ;D

e: Also, you should find pictures at the links

I love mudslide. But in my opinion it was already good looking enough. Fissure Falls has my vote.

Cliffhanger. With that map its fun and the shapes can be reimagined in so many ways.

Hmm... if you're looking for good level layouts, you may want to look towards the Doom community. Since shining in detail is less possible in the Doom engine, usually the maps tend to focus more on gameplay. Though there are some pretty beautiful WADs out there. Here's an example:

The popular and infamous: Dwango5.wad.
It's probably one of the best sets of DM maps ever...
The first map is the most popular. Here is a gameplay video of it, watch it in High resolution, otherwise the video is a bit unclear.

The map has a rather notororius soundtrack btw. :-3 (It isn't the one in the video)

Fissure falls. :) Maybe even cliffhanger.

Actually I am. Have you not checked the number of people around here that actually get things done lately? Besides, if he cant make a level like that look and behave more interesting, how's he going to redo anything bigger.

Fissurefall is awesome. I think it would be cool remade on a larger scale, so you have a bit more room to canter. Maybe with a sort of frozen earth feel to it. With a cold atmosphere, maybe ice on some of the catwalks, but not so arctic that the waterfall its self is frozen.

OH GOD DO MUDSLIDE.
CE needs more Asymmetrical maps. And I'm pretty sure you can make it pretty.

Also, Terralan (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=319)could do with a Covenant or Flood remake.
