why do people instantly condemn halo 2 ad 3 stuff before playing with it
"becuase its unbalanced"
well see, not always? the only place you ever see that stuff is in a fricking box map or a POS one like the ones i reviewed up a few posts. cmt has a battle rifle, is it unbalanced? they have a spartan laser (yeah i know its not the same as halo 3 but big deal)
i dont see whats so bad about it if it doesn't ruin game play and it works correctly. what happened, did one person say no to custom stuff then all of you jumped on the bandwagon?

btw warning to all who release their first map. i will bash it lol

It's just not custom. I really wish teams would design their own weapons if they are going to use customs. I have nothing against Halo 2 and 3's weapons, they are nice, but it is unoriginal to put them in a Halo CE map. It's like taking someone else's idea.

this is dmt's crossfire map. let me begin by saying i couldn't play 2 minutes without CE shutting down with an exception, so please bear with me. sounds were ok, some had no echo, there was this one gun that had the sound of 2 shots when it was firing only one, the background ambiance was awesome. the map itself looks pretty well done, as do the hud elements. i was surprised at some of the pickup icons, they were very good. the idea for the hud wit the numbers, i liked that too. most of the weapon models lacked alot of details that the skin took care of, which was somewhat upsetting, however, as some of you have seen my photobucket album, iv made quite a few weapon models all of which took me a long time. so i can understand the lack of details. that pistol with the green sights made me smile
the first person arms were terrible. they are boxy, and the skin looks nasty. some of the animations could use work
all in all, this map looks like it has promising gameplay, but thats if your computer will play it. i say it is worth the download even if only to check the stuff out

all i got were exceptions. i think this is a fun map too, but i cant play it

can you tell me what the creater did wrong? the picture on the featured maps page led me to believe this would be a well executed map, however the whole thing looks like sandbars which, to my knowledge, do NOT naturally form in the middle of the jungle

its a gimmick map. thats it. no effort went into tweaking vehicles or anything, just a gimmick map. fun if you wanna race with your friends other wise dont bother downloading it

campaign maps follow, for the most part, a linear path, thus the bsps for the levels are created to provide a linear gameplay experience. now tell me, do you think this linear style map will be good for running back and forth? i think not, which is why sp --> mp conversions dont work. the biped you play as is an elite. which makes all forms of moving awkward. the vehicles seem piled in with little thought to gameplay or balance
basically, i do not recommend downloading this map. it isnt worth the time or hard drive space
