Well I guess I will be the person who updates this thread about the new map me, Massacre, and Dane will be working on. The map we are shooting to push the limits of the engine to where it is able to run on most computers. The way I know it will run for most people is that if it runs on my labtop we are good to go. :) The map is based on Dane's old map Retina. A total reimagination of Retina to be exact. Gameplay is being totally redone. Do not base any opnions for this map from Seclusion because that map was not thought much on gameplay when me and Mass modeled it the in one weekend for the winter contest last year. So that being said I can show you some renders.


Hi res http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2006/hafy4.jpg

You can give suggestions. We will think about it.

very nice :D. alot of forerunner

Can I has secks with it? Seriously though, is that a base, or the map?

I really wouldn't want to texture that, looks good so far though. How many polies so far? Wireframe maybe?

me thinks we'll need a new drawer of pants XD

Get rid of that ring-like thing in the front. Other than that, looks epic.

That looks really good but you havent created anything else yet.

That's rediculous. Apply for bungie... NOW!

Wrong.

Then why dont you show it >.>

Because whats the point of a teaser if you show everything you've got? >_>

All I got to say is OSHI

I can tell he took parts off his older structures.

The first day I ever mentioned doing this map was 2 months ago but we only been doing modeling for about a month. We have more than just this structure modeled and I don't believe Massacre took anything off of his old models.

I guess I can explain more about the structure that isn't there just for visuals. Mainly the glass floor. This is the center building so the quickest way on vehicle would be to cross the glass. We wanted to put a twist to that so we have a stream that runs over the glass making the glass act like ice. On both sides are obsticles that you have a chance to slide into which can make crossing the center in a warthog more than an average drive.

I'll go get another render of the building from a different angle.

plz.

That render looks so much better in every way.

A+ googolplex.

Just another halo thing... We need more custom instead of using the ideas and methods of other games.

Its custom. Based off of Halo 3 :D. Fine.. "Custom Based" Idc but its fricking sexy

Kind of have to agree with DEE. We need more maps like chiller.

Srsly. I see TO much "OMG FORERUNNER STRUCTURE MAKES MY MAP AWESOME" or "I CAN MAKE L33T CLIFFS." We need custom. Like someone that makes a Urban cizilization. Why not add this to the Halo CE bible.
"Though shout not Custom unless \tags\ folder twas deleted before creation."

Go play another game then. I play Halo because I want to play Halo... not some modern fps game or I would go play another game like that.

Its not that I dont like Halo. Its just that the only thing I have seen is Halo Remakes or using Halo ideas. We need something NEW!

No.

A map that doesnt dedicate on how much a person can make cliffs for forerunner. Because this seams for like a fad. At the least we need someone to make a UNSC map or a map that has something that isnt Forerunner, covenant, UNSC, or just shows off how they can make cliffs.

Like a urban city map. Maybe another New Mombasa map.

Me and josh had a good idea for ppl to use.
A map that takes place inside a computer.©

It's an art, the natural formations that are like from earth with the forerunner structures is beautiful to us and I'm sure to many other players. We don't do it because everyone else is doing it. I don't even know of many people who are doing this. Wave of Lag is doing human. I have one question. How many maps are out there with awsoem forerunner structures in these jaw dropping landscapes?

To many. Which is why we need something new.

when this project is completed i will be very happy if it runs on my computer,windows 2000 REALLY sucks....(i will put all settings on full low and it will lag)...OMGOMGOMG THIZ IS SO OSSIM! I R SO LIK GUNNA GET DIZ MAP!*stares at picture so long all he can see is the building*

The side of the base looks fugly.

I like how sexy that looks, but I don't recall Forerunners putting so much detail in their structures.

If they can make this like a High Charity sort of setting or in a desert I will be immensely impressed.
