[HALO 3] Oh the hypotheticals. [Archive]

First: Lets say that bungie were to create a map editor for Halo 3 that let you edit map geometry.

Second: Lets say this new Sandbox map is like that Tron map in Bungies Acceptance video, just minus whatever was on there.

Third: You had the sudden urge to remake a map for Halo 3/ your creativity took a long vacation.

Which Halo Map (from any of the other Halos) would you remake? Custom Edition and Halo 2 Vista Custom Maps count too, but you cannot make custom weapons or vehicles.

I would recreate Headlong or to be fair to you (Headlong CE). I just love that map to death.

Fixed thar :D

Solitude or Damnation or Danger Canyon or Geove or Corrupted or Headlong or Yoyorast Island... Oh the hypothetical possibilitys!

I would probably draw map names out of a hat to decide.

Also in before someone says coldsnap.

Chiron TL-34, although its semi-possible in Foundry, Foundry isn't just that big enough, and there isn't enough teleporters. Or Timberland, because I've always wanted more of a forest-type map in Halo 3.
Timberland. (http://halomods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=78464&sid=d8ea1084fd374b8dec8782defd6f53ad)

Due to how Halo 3 plays, I would remake Coagulation, not Bloodgulch.

Infinity also. Plus Grove_Final, and Fragment, and maybe a little Yoyo, with a topping of Valhalla (for the lulz).

Timberland. (http://halomods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=78464&sid=d8ea1084fd374b8dec8782defd6f53ad)
That's not really Timberland, just has the same name, and a shitload of trees.

That IS timberland.

I already know about that mod, and I DO NOT consider it to be the original Timberland from Halo PC. Besides, it wouldn't be exactly like Timberland, just more of a forest-type map, sort of like the 343 Guilty Spark swamp on a larger scale, but without the swampiness, and more trees. Trees ftw.

So....
you want a timberland map that isnt exactly timberland.

Like 343 minus the swampiness.

So basically a map with two bases, a stream, and lot and lots of trees?

Is that not what I presented? Let me check the link...

Delta4907

I just don't think it should've been named Timberland since there already is a default PC map named Timberland, and I really don't think it lives up to its name either, plus the trees aren't the whole map, its just that one area.. AND I don't have an XSATA, and I don't plan on buying one soon, so its useless to me.
Example: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2173
-Medium Sized
-Trees
-Small Lake
-No Fog
-Trees
However a large scale 343 GS-themed map is still in my head, a map that's so large you actually get lost in it.

BTW I only mentioned Timberland because I thought we had to name default maps.

You probably got it before Bungie got their foot down on mods on your file share. I had a similar map, but since it didn't sync, meaning only the host saw the trees, I felt there was no point in keeping it.

anyways, we may not be able to make any type of map in sandbox and remember in forge we have a bloody limit...and knowing bungie building the lay of the land will cost us.

why couldn't bungi have used a level editor similar to farcry's? would have made making custom maps fun

Hugeass would rip apart the Halo 3 engine (unless you made it with low-res textures).

Death Island would not be a first choice, but it would be an interesting map to actually make, as in the creation/transportation of the map would be fun.

It probably wasn't because of the frigate actually being there, but because its not supposed to be, or a collision glitch. I have this one POA remake map on Avalanche and if you grab one of the boxes that are fused together the fps goes from 100 to 5, crashed my 360 once too.

Chiron was never much for standard game types but specific things like short range no shields, juggernaut and rockets were so much fun.

Also I doubt it would play well in halo 3 and you could make it in foundry if you felt like it.

Hotrod

February 2nd, 2009, 05:57 PM

You couldn't recreate it well, trust me, I've tried. You don't have nearly enough teleporters, nor do I think you have the room to remake it properly either.

It's more like the lack of available Teleporter channels, and of amount of them you can place.

That's exactly what I meant. The retarded limit on each item. Why can't I just make as many of a item as I want until my budget runs out?

Portent seems like it would be a good Halo 3 map, it has just the right feel to it.

Was discussing this today with sever and a couple of others in halo 3 - needlosity would be awesome. Those grenades are the best.

EDIT:
timo, sorry to bug you, but mind if I added you on XBL? just askin as I have nobody from modacity on my friends list.

That's exactly what I meant. The retarded limit on each item. Why can't I just make as many of a item as I want until my budget runs out? See infinite budget glitch, and infinite object glitch (the latter I have problems pulling off).

there IS a limit to what you can place on a map, even with the infinite budget glitch going for you
