Big Deep Hole

Sakie'd probably be embarrassed that I posted these, so I'm putting them up. More pics here (http://www.halostudio.org/NewAbyss/screenies/screenies.html)

so, nobody tell him!

[Rosco]

Nice, I like the architect. :)

[Sakievich]

nice job there, mindy.

[Stealth]

not bad, I like it, but it needs something else.......

[SnaFuBAR]

i concur.

[Mindaugas]

I think he's remaking this map (http://www.petersakievich.com/portfolio/3D/HaloCE/Abyss/Abyss.html). And it's got a ways to go before he's finished.

[SnaFuBAR]

i played the betas. it needs a gigantic structure or something in the middle, though, and a vehicle. oh, and more heavies... specifically rockets, with the speed increased.

There's a beta? Can I play? pretty please?

[SnaFuBAR]

i don't think he'll let me hand out the beta :s i dunno, pm me.

[Sakievich]

uh... you could try the original version (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=556) for CE, since this one will never make it to CE.

Snaffy, be good.

[SnaFuBAR]

i didn't think so. sorry mind.

[Arteen]

Looks great! I like the new parts you've added since when you showed me before.

[TheGhost]

This looks really nice so far, keep up the good work!

[Stealth]

I do hope you know that you can download bloth the Beta map, and the finel map, I've seen them bloth at Halomaps.org, I've played the finel, I like, I think, I don't know any more, it is on my laptop, not my new desktop, but, it is cool looking, good job.

[Sakievich]

Thanks Arteen and Ghost, I'll keep going on it. I only have a few hours to work on the modeling part of it during the week, though it's helped at work because of the time spent saving files (some files are nearly 2 gigs in size!) I've been able to get most of my ideas sketched out pretty thoroughly which speeds up the modeling process quite a bit. Nothing is final until I'm happy with the final construction.

Stealth, I have no idea what you just said.

Anyway, I figured now would be a good time to get started on it, so that maybe the map will be largely done by the time vista and H2V is out.

I am shocked. Almost too shocked for words. :p

[Sakievich]

shut your poly hole!

[SnaFuBAR]

i lol'd:lol:

[Stealth]

Ya, try playing it with 16 people all but one is cloaked, now that is funny.

[Reaper Man]

Every time I see the word "ya," i shudder. I hate. That. Word.

[Stealth]

Um, ok, I will not say the word Ya to you, I will say yes.

[Bathroom Security]

Ya watever

[mR_r0b0to]

lol ^

looks cool :)

[Rescudo]

Every time I see the word "ya," i shudder. I hate. That. Word.

Ya I agree.

[Rosco]

Ya I agree.

Ya ok (sorry I had to. :lol:)

Is it me or did I see Masterz keep closing this thread?

Oh well, just confusing me :/

[Atty]

Is it by any chance a big deep wet hole?

Water always makes a map fun.

It looks good :).

[mined]

Is it by any chance a big deep wet hole?


HA HA...YA.

Anyways...this is looking real exciting. Is it going to be a Halo service shaft sort of hole or a deep narrow canyon sort of hole?

[DaneO'Roo]

HA HA...YA.

me thinks a deep hole with some sharp objects shoved in it http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1070/gbxbotmangv9.jpg

[Mindaugas]

Sakievich is "reimagining" his first halo map Abyss (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=556). You can check out the original Abyss at this link, right here. (http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=556)

I get the feeling it's going to look quite a bit different and he says he's going to make it a touch simpler to figure out. I'm sure it'll be awesome by the time H2V rolls out.

[Mindaugas]

Ya, so, Sakie sent me this just now.

http://www.halostudio.org/NewAbyss/screenies/NewAbyssterrain_layout.jpg

according to him, that base you see in the other pics is on the right towards the top and that blue smudge on the left is a hog. nice hog, sakie...

[SnaFuBAR]

mmmm, polies :D

[Sakievich]

Ya, I was planning on leaving it bright green and brown and somewhere around a 1000 polys, maybe 1500 if I'm feeling generous, and there will be no (count it ZERO) scenery objects in the map.

Tunnels are for losers. I'm going to have a super jump mod going on so walkways will be unnecessary.

Makes sense. And LOL at Sekie + Sarcasm!
Lookin good on the map so far tho. Bet this will look amazing in H2V.

[SnaFuBAR]

that's too bad that nobody cares.

[Sakievich]

started putting (roughed in) together the blue base.

[SnaFuBAR]

Isn't it though? Who asked you, by the way?
Bet you think that was clever post :lmao:. Then again, I expect nothing but jackass posts from you, anyhow.:fail:

Anyways, Sakie, lookin good man. I'll talk to you tomorrow about it. Bases look good but they're.... missing something. Maybe we can work that out soon. Knowing you, you've got some pages of sketches of the structures going.:highfive: I've also got something to show you.

Looking good as usual Saki. :)

[Patrickssj6]

Needs more sniper

<3 it:)

[Stealth]

cool, can't wait to see it in game.

[Master Chief]

one word. awesome!!

[Somebody123]

Thats nice, real nice...
Just fix that poly hole.

[Stealth]

the poly hole, do you mean the one in the old map?

[halofreak4567]

This is looking really good. I cannot wait to play this map when H2V comes out.

[Sakievich]

got it "in game" in CE for an alpha build. No these are not the final textures, uv's, etc. I just wanted to see how it worked, definitely needs to be narrower and not as long. And there's lots left to do beyond that.

[SnaFuBAR]

not a positive bone in your body is there?

[SnaFuBAR]

Then maybe you should take yourself outside instead of sitting at your computer being an e-emo. :fail:

[SnaFuBAR]

How hypocritical! 99% of what you do at these forums is exactly that! Maybe you should stay out of the forums ;)

Oh, and have a good day, k?:)

[Mindaugas]

maybe you two should leave this in PM'ing each other, or maybe a hug.

[SnaFuBAR]

/Me hugs FriedMetroid :D lol

let me know when you've got the next test so I can continue helping you work out the kinks.

[Teroh]

I like the whole concept, but my eyes are bleeding from the temp textures.

[Sunray]

I like the whole concept, but my eyes are bleeding from the temp textures.
Just look forward to the final thing...

[MasterChief2829]

Wow people are already working on H2V maps? o.o

[dinonid]

This map looks good.

[Shnoogins]

Looks fun, it IS missing something though.
