Terminus Released

[fatso784]

I've been making Terminus for quite a while now (actually it used to be called Outpost, but apparently that name has already been used), and I'm satisfied with the final look of the map. This is my first ever map release, and 2nd map I have ever made. Here are some pics of Terminus:

*Note: I uploaded this to halomaps a while ago, but Dennis didn't put it on the site, for one reason or another, hopefully today he'll get around to it otherwise I'll upload it again.

Not bad; it lacks detail but looks good overall.

^ Conscars is a signature copier :eek:

Nice map, some of the modeling looks a bit odd, but overall it looks like fun to play.

LOL conscars, your sig. Looks like a really good map overall, as Conscars said it lacks some detail. The waterfall looks a little...out of place. Definitely a download for me, damn, forgot i don't halo installed. Oh well, looks like an awesome map.

The waterfall originally had a purpose, but now that I say that, I kinda forgot what it was.. Originally we planned the wall to be a dam, to have a pelican crashed into the wall, and to have the stream flowing out from the crack. Unfortunately that proved impossible, but I'm satisfied with this map.

Yes I know it lacks detail, it was really just a test map for me. And thanks guys for criticizing me lol - the guys at halomaps don't know how to criticize :P

I like how there's a white edge to where the water meets the banks, havent seen that in a map for a while :)

[Elite Killa]

Nice map. Could use a little more detail, but overall impressive.

[fatso784]

Thanks alot :D

exactly what I was thinking

nice work, progress and listen to people, and your future maps will be much better :)

[Dr Nick]

I like the steps, looks kinda modern!

agreed, the fog below is placed just right, nice work.

Good first map release, the layout looks nice and fun, the quality is good, although it does lack some detail, and some other minor things, but overall good first map release. :)

Keep up the good work.

EDIT: I was also gonna say somthing about the steps lol... reminds me of something from 007 Golden Eye 64... idk why lol, altho the textures lack detail, but yea, kool steps.

er.. lol wait arnt those steps generated in 3ds max.. ah w/e... dont remember seeing em in a map before.

[Tweek]

I like the steps, looks kinda modern!
they're default MAX-stairs (AEC-extended objects) (i think)

doesn't matter though. still NEATZOR!

[fatso784]

Thanks. I appreciate your criticism. Being my first map release, I'm still discovering what halo players want in a map. Next time I'll do better. ;)

[Rosco]

It looks okay. I see a few too many rectangle shapes for Halo architecture, and a lot of edges look like they're not exactly straight, but I've seen worse. Work on making everything look more natural, and you could be really great.

I think the whole poitn of this map was just to show he could create something custom :)

[fatso784]

My next map is not going to be Halo-ish like this one is. Using halo textures is fine, but you don't learn anything from it.

[TeeKup]

It's really bland. But I like it a lot for some unexplained reason.

[SuperSunny]

Couple improvements you could have done!


Skymap Change
More Shader Details
Bigger Variety of Shaders and Bitmaps
Different Lighting (along with the Skymap Change)


Otherwise I like it!

Nobody posts something online without getting criticism.

He posted it, I gave criticism. Constructive, honest criticism at that. Deal with it.


what?

[Huero]

It isn't that hard, baturkin.
