Also, will you be doing anything to give the level a purpose? Right now, it is just a long hallway that has not much to it to make it appear Forerunner other than a limited number of angular areas and the standard textures.

Also this. I'm curious how to plan to add more detail to Longest without changing the gameplay.

Unless you do plan on changing the gameplay.

Why you guys so excited about longest. I never really saw any good game play in it... but then again i only played it like twice.

Heh, ill do it the same way i did NMC, only in a forerunner style. But im actually thinking of asking Mass to do it, because he knows forerunner better than me.

redo prisoner or something instead.

NMC looks real nice... rather see clay renders though.

You know, i should ask neuro if he minds us taking that old redone prisoner bsp of his and using it for HRH...

Don't you remember the flamethrower only/pp only KOTH games on Longest? best thing EVER.

Damnation is probably my favorite map cause it has a lot more variety and its one of the more complex levels in halo. Its extremely entertaining on some game type. Personally i love Team Elim Invis Snipers. Its crazy.

You know, i was considering damnation, as its one of my favorites too. But one question--should i keep the covenant style, or go for a human style?

Keep it covenant, but style it like halo 3 covie architecture. Make it more round and organic that would be beautiful. I would nerdgasm :lol:

Do damnation covered in flood shit, complete with sphincters.

sphincters_door.device_machine FTW!

Lmao, if I had rep power I'd +rep both of you.

heh, flood shit...good idea :D

:fail: look what you guys did

but yeah, flood would be good for a level like damnation

everybody but me got to test it.
sad rob is sad. :saddowns:

You know, come to think of it, I've seen gorgeous human, forerunner, and covenant levels in Halo CE, but I've never seen a well done flood level. Except for one, I forget what it was called, but it seemed more of a proof of concept than anything else, and was very minimalistic.

Of course there's a good reason there have been no good flood levels (that I've seen), and that's because it's really friggin hard to do that sort of organic material. But... We choose to go to the moon and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard! did I get that quote right?

If you pull it off, I will be very impressed. I say go for it.
