I've been wanting to know if I could further improve my map mod anymore, but I have not had any luck.

The map name is Snow Valley. It takes place in a snow-covered Danger Canyon. Here are some pictures:

Dr. Pepper's looks cooler, but there basicly the same thing. Besides most mods suck but that's my opion.

From the pictures shown by halomaps that one looks terrible.

I agree.

i think it looks cool.

Kind of like Surreal, which makes Direlict look auesome lol.

Shiny textures don't do anything towards a map. But if you insist....

You need to register first.

Selentic has the worst criticism ever.

Needs more sexy lighting and bump mapping.

You offer no reason as to how it sucks. Therefore, your criticism is not valid and is ignored.

I believe I posted before you edited.

And, you expect every map to meet your "standards". If it doesn't, it sucks. You're not the only one who plays CE maps you know, and you are definitely not the best reviewer. You still provided insufficient reasons to the ones you mentioned. And for your information, I did a lot more than what you think.

l2think.

So tell me Selentic, what makes this mod crap?

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to go with Panda boy here, your just editing the scenario, some bitmaps to other bitmaps from HaloCE, and maybe just modifying the particle effects. What does a mod worth downloading? If theres hard work and actual decent content instead of just bitmap swaps and particle edits. CMT demonstrates this very well, almost everything they have is custom, from the models to the bitmaps. All your team does is switch a few things which is basically what a variant is.

All I see here is bitmap changing and a few different particles and its snowing instead of a sunny day. 7 hours of work if I'm interrupted several times like I usually am, maybe 4 if I can go without interruptions.
What makes a mod worth downloading?
What makes this particular mod good?

If you can answer these questions, I'll be astounded.

I loled.

The thing is, it's not much of a mod, it's just a reskin. IT be better suited for PC. There's no real apeal to playing snowy dangercanyon, unless you do some other stuff that really makes it different and fun to play.

I suggest you don't mess with selentic, Im sure he knows what he is talking about.

A. Stuff like this has been done over and over again. It is the same exact map, just with a new look, and no new gameplay elements.

B. Sel, Sunny's mod is eww. It would look better on a newer engine that has bloom and whatnot. And it is too bright. Do not want.

C. ????

D. PROFIT!!

Meh, ya'll make me sad. Mod and Scratch are two completely different things. You have an opinion, but not a fact maker. Do you want a bad map? Make a box the size of MC and play in that. You want a good map/mod? Do something that people will find worth while. Selentic's opinion is that he finds no value in the map. Zealot and other modders say the exact opposite.

Zealot, I suggest you scratch this entire mod since it has been done 2x+ before. A sand Dangercanyon would definitely be interesting. Sand in Halo CE always intrigues me.

I dont care for mods really :/
Nice threadjack Selentic :D
