I'm guessing the FPS here will be worse than Covenant at 1600 x 1200

If you can play Blood Gulch, then the FPS is around the same. Covenant was released two years ago and I never portalled it. This isn't portalled either, besides some small inner portalling, but because of massive optimization and inspection, the FPS seems very stable/high. I made a massive mistake with Covenant as it was one of my first maps made long ago, and I may go back and fix some of the problems.

Well, Blood Gulch disgusts me with its utter crappiness but I do look forward to playing this map, if anyone else is willing to play something besides Blood Gulch for 5 minutes. I only ever got to play Paradise with one person but it was fun.

Thank you! Mb in the future we will get a big game going!

Maybe someday...

just maybe

Couldn't we just set up a server with the map right now?

[Scott-PL]

i d/l it

nice work when is the DBz mod coming out?

[SuperSunny]

I have to port it to H2Vista because Halo CE isn't 100% perfect with the flying capabilities, unless you want lag :P

[Varmint260]

Ugh... my card has Pixel Shader capabilities, but it's kinda sad (since ATi doesn't even support it anymore lmao). Also, I tend to be lacking in the "upstairs" region due to my low use of oxygen, but I shall try to get my brain running.

Anyways, the map looks very nice. And shiny. Will have to try it. The screenshot beckons to me.

[TheGhost]

Nice work, Sunny!

[Narida]

Reall nice map! (Although if one falls into those puddles, its not too easy to get back out lol)
What with the soft music, it really lives up to its name :)

[SuperSunny]

Thank you Ghost!

Ah yes, keep on jumping!

[Elite Killa]

Yeah, I saw that. That picture with the reflection of the Master Chief was superb. I gave it on Halomaps 10 stars! You did a magnificent job on this map, Sunny!:)

I finally got a chance to playtest this, and as with all your maps it really shows what you can do with an old game engine. But my complaint is the same as it was with the original map, NEEDS MORE COVENANT WEAPONS. They really fit in a lot better with the theme here. That's not to say human weapons are bad, they're just not very sexy, and they don't do this map justice.

The problem is balance, but I will see what I can do!

[AiRgUItaR901]

Looks pretty sweet! Nice work!

As it's a small map there's not much need for Pistols or Sniper Rifles, you could have Needlers on top of the ladders instead to pump people trying to climb them full of pink, and PRs as starting weapons to complement the Assault Rifle, as they're only really useful in tandem. Just a suggestion

I really like it, Well Done.

[THEdarkLord]

there are only 2 bad things about it,the map is very open,so its hard to hide and campers can get you,
and the water teleporters,its almost impossible to get out of...
but i like the textures and background sound
