Hey guys, Just thought I'd release this since no one on the team really mods anymore. This is sigmas most completed map, Downfall. Its still in beta form, but it is playable and fun, and the tags are there for you to enjoy. We have some familiar content, and some original but its all custom made. Everything is fully functional except for the rocket launcher... that was a long story im not going to even explain. Heres a filefront for now, and it should be on halomaps with the next update

isn't that spiker pic old/outdated?
anyways, Downfall was amazing fun at betas. too bad we never finished. Foray was fun, too.
Map revamp (hopefully, if I can get someone to unwrap for me) coming soon from yours truly!


e. We made recon smg first, faggots.

Wish you could have finished that stuff. Looked really promising, oh well. Looks nice anyway.

Oshi the first odst smg ever...
i remember wanting to put that in a30 lol

i just played,Nice animations on alll weps :D

I swear to god, I've heard that firing sound on the one brute weapon (not the carbine one)
Did you guys take it from another game or what?

Yeah, its a gift from Muki, idk where he got it

I was starting to wonder what became of this map.

I tried to download it, but I got this:


ERROR:
This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.

This limit is reached.

To download this file, the uploader either needs to transfer this file into his/her Collector's Account, or upload the file again. The file can later be moved to a Collector's Account. The uploader just needs to click the delete link of the file to get further information.

It should be fixed now, try again

Sweet, thanks. I am downloading now. We should get a server up!

so dont say we never gave you nothing

Ok, this map is just simply amazing. even your unfinished weapons like the BR and the AR are way good. Good job on making it this far, and I really hope that you'd be able to finish it but if nobody's working on it, that's understandable.

What no credit for unwrapping that map?

I apologize, I'm not entirely in the loop on who did what. Forgot you were ever a team member

This is cool stuff.

pic three kinda looks like snowgrove, with a plateau instead of a base.

it doesnt play like snowgrove at all though. the layout isnt even similar to it

Well, I played it...

BSP:
Boring, to be honest. Ok well first, most structure's were just in and out bases which aren't good. Using ladders like you did too isn't good for gameplay and as you can see that is why Bungie also took them out of Halo 2 and 3. They were also very poorly unwrapped with like 2 or 3 textures. Give your self some time to properly make things look nice, making a bsp look good is one of the most things that attracts players. The outdoor environment seemed kinda plain.. Add some terrain fog to go with that overcast sky, and considering its almost a valley/pit thing. The terrains ground texture could of been better too, with more "messy" and natural look trails on them. Another thing: NEVER use scenery as a substitute for thing to jump on top of. With lag from a server or if your just laggy yourself, can make the player frustrated at time when trying to jump ontop of them. You did this at the place with the over shield, not good.
Weapons:
For the most part, they were cool. The animations were really nice and same with the models. The texturing of the weapons could of been better, at least for the ones that were textured. There sounds I found nicely executed as well. As for the rocket launcher, I don't really see how you could of messed something up that badly and not fixing it easily for a public beta like this. Normally for a public beta, your going to want to find out how gameplay is, and thats definitely not the way to start.
Gameplay:
idk, haven't played it with anyone but myself.
HUD:
Normally I don't go on about stuff like this, but something bothered me about yours. It's not that it played bad or anything, it just could of looked a little bit nicer and been a bit less blurry on the edges and organized, if you know what I mean.

Well I would have liked to see those halommo weapons textured but its nice to see them finally get into the game at least.

it isnt a public beta, its us releasing stuff in its current state because of a lack of interest in continuing work on it. your crit is totally valid, im just letting you know incase you didnt see

what was the point of putting this on both modacity and here, especially since we're not going to be looking back into the mod and fixing things? read the purpose of the release before you go on about stuff

can't wait to play

what are you waiting for?

I read it, but forgot becuase of other things before I actully went ingame and tested and posted my crit. jesus christ. If your going to get so defensive about me posting criticism on something your team released, then you shouldnt of posted anything. Even if your not looking for criticism or if your done with Halo, that still dosen't mean crit isn't needed. I was telling what I saw and my opinions too, so get over it. And after rereading what was posted, no where do I even see that it says you were done with the map really. It says most of the team memebers don't mod, but it also says the things needed to be fixed was easy. If there so easy, you should of just fixed them then. Maybe it would of been smart too to maybe actully make a more clearer first post and post the actual read me there. People like me, and I can assure lots others to, don't read the actual read me that comes with the file, just what they see first.

Secondary dl posted compliments of plague.

higuy i was onboard with your argument until you said you just didnt read the readme. its there for a reason.

NEVERTHELESS, WE ARE NOT WORKING ON IT ANY MORE
so it really doesnt matter anyway

was this the same team that made the weapons in asgard?

it said they were from a SIGMA release

Yeah, we made asgard. It was intended to be our first release but dsalimander leaked it long before it was finished

yes. so now you guys can all rest assured that sigma isnt a rip and stick team. we arnt dead either. we just dont do stuff for halo ce anymore. plus theres like 3 divisions of sigma anyway

i love the shotgun and the spiker :D
there :awesome: just need to add lights to the shot gun :C

Unreal II: The Awakening

The firing sound for the Grace magnum

yeah, we might use the shotgun
