The level looks really nice. I especially like how you made the surrounding, inaccessible areas look nice, too, with the sky and all the trees. I'll make sure to download. I do have a few suggestions though, judging by the screenshots and your comments.
1) Always same multiple copies or iterations of a Max file. e.g. when you start the map, call it mapname_001.max, and every hour or so of work after that, save it as mapname_002, _003, etc. If you only use one file, you're bound for trouble.
2) Unless you're protecting each build you make, you could just use a bsp extracting tool (e.g. BSP Tag Converter) to recover the bsp mesh.
3) Even really basic portals would be nice. They'd also let you have different ambience and sound environments.
4) Colored lighting, and more lighting in general, would make the forerunner interiors look much nicer, as right now they just look monochromatic and relatively uninteresting. It would also help differentiate the bases more clearly.
5) Landing beacons are a simple but effective way of differentiating the "red side" of a level from the "blue side", and help guide the player through the level.

Other than that, it looks very impressive!


And it needs decals, like the red symbol and the blue symbol.

I like the map, but won't DL it when its final.

Its nice and all, but I am so sick of grass. I wish it was snow or desert or something.

If it's swamp, please don't make it blue/gray like the fog 343GS.
As for Fracture, it looks awesome. :D

Downloaded it, installed it, couldn't play it. This little window popped up saying the shaders file was missing, and I couldn't play the game. When I took the map out, it worked fine. Guess I'll just wait for the final.

Hasn't happened to anyone else yet that I've heard. When it goes up on halomaps, try downloading it again.

Heh, portalling problems like you said. I hate that D: It's too high poly and some of the faces start disappearing. The grass has already been mentioned. The one cliff/land-ramp had a fuxed up vertex.

Yeah, Ice instead, and the map would have the cliffs that are in b40 maybe.

agreed, the icefields cliff bitmap in the data folder is the probably the best one for it

Sounds pretty sick. But Agh, won't be fun dealing with lag :( I wish more people used that AUTO-AIM thing that kinda reduced lag in a sense that guru played around with. We used it in EMT inverno. People said it was good, others said it was bad but it made the game fair.

Odd everything runs perfect but when I drive around it lags a bit. Is this a bug or is it just a crappy connection online because I usually don't lag alot.

I figured out why it does that, the bump map I used on the ground is tiled 7 times and is a 1024x1024 texture. So its small, packs a lot of detail, so it lags a little bit.

By the way, our next map will have the greatest theme ever if we finish it. ( btw its not grass, desert, or snow :p )

Boat.
But it's a sinking cruise liner out in the middle of an ocean at night and corridors are filled with water, flickering lights, dark hallways, entire ship is also sideways a bit so its good for the assult gametype.

No bears? :(


So my graphics card is an insult to Halo (it's an intel......ugh..), should I be worried about lag?
