A great ending to a humble beginning...

My first mapping project for CE and my last mapping project for CE. 3 years is a long time and each map has evolved bit by bit and improved with each build and remodel. I hope you enjoy playing them as much as I did developing them.

Here's a quick run down of each map and its play style:

Amplitude - This map uses a heavily modified version of the lockout model from halo 2. I personally remodeled many sections and completely re-textured it from the ground up. I also did the environmental modifications to improve the visuals. This is definitely a great Slayer and Team Slayer map for 4 to 8 players.

Circle Pit - One of the first maps I ever made, though it has changed a great deal since back then. This map is built for 1 on 1 and 3 player FFA. It uses a lot of shield doors and grav lifts to increase the game play and make it harder to grenade spam your way out of any situation.

Dismal - This map uses parts of 343 Guilty Spark and Grove to create a nice interesting Vehicle CTF map for about 10 to 16 players.

Harbinger - Most people will recognize this map from Halo 2. It is not a rip though. The model was originally done by snafubar. I later picked it up and remodeled it to improve the game play and then I used textures from halo 2 to unwrap it. It's great for Slayer, CTF and King of the Hill. It's also a great snipers map. I suggest anywhere between 4 and 10 players for this.

Highground - This map takes inspiration from Halo 3 but is not a remake. Too play this map properly make a game type that is 1 Flag CTF with a 3 minute offense to defense switch and a 3 minute time limit with 3 capture to win. This will be a lot like 1 flag from halo 3. The map is fun for about 4 to 8 players on 1 Flag CTF and Slayer.

Lefty - Have you ever wondered what HangemHigh would be like if it were symmetrical? Well here's the result. It was a simple map to make but it played exceptionally well in Slayer, King of the Hill and CTF. I suggest 4 to 12 players for this map.

Pipeline - This is a nice snowy map designed primarily for Slayer but also is fun for oddball and king. It's a small map so 2 to 6 players is all you need.

Snowtrap - Everyone should recognize this map by now. It is some of the best fun you will have in snipers and CTF for halo ce. Its a massive map so you will need at least 12 to 16 players.

Station Omega - This map is basically "The Pit" from halo 3 based on a space station. It's a fun map and great for 4 to 8 players especially on CTF and Team Slayer.

Substation - This map is based on a forerunner structure built inside of a cave in a ocean cliff side. It's a cool environment with a good variation in game play between sniping and CQC. It's a great map for 4 to 8 players in Slayer and CTF.

Vertigo - Vertigo is a simple arena map with a nice twist on vertical combat with interesting side rooms that link the map together to improve flanking and ambushes. It's a great 1v1 map and can support up to 6 players in Oddball and Slayer.



Modifications:

- Default Field of View is set to 85 on all of the maps
- The radar sensitivity has been lowered. You can now crouch walk to stay off of the radar.
- Backpack weapons are integrated into all of the maps.
- The mongoose from yoyorast island 2 has been added to some of the maps.
- Assault Rifle accuracy SLIGHTLY increased
- Plasma Rifle damage increased
- Plasma Pistol tracking increased
- Needler increased damage and tracking
- Fuel rod is now a charge based gun that is similar to the spartan laser.

it was nice to see you release inferno but the community will miss you. who wants to get a dedi up with these maps dedicating the dedi to the fall of inferno

nice job, i remember beta testing these maps, cant wait to test the finished product

hey guys tonight i will have a server up for 2 or 3 hours. and during the weekend mostly all day. so come join me and lets have some fun

I'll still be around modacity. And I have a "possible" SP map coming so don't worry. But this is the last MP project I'm doing for CE.

It was fun but there's a lot more modding to be done else where!

Snow level with the frozen lake is beautiful.

Hell, whole thing is beautiful.

Inferno is beautiful.

Teh yays.

Very cool stuff.

yeah i think these mapas wirth a dedi

also inferno put in the secret rcon script -_-

Thanks man... For everything :)
I will see if my clan will host this on our dedi, which is rather good.

nvm no secret rcon script. also whats the map at 0:36

Looks really great, awesome work with them. GJ.

On-topic: Gameplay on these is great, played with Maniac, Hydrogen, and Inferno himself. Pretty epic.

Off-topic:
You are not alone... I am here with you. Though we're far apart, you're always in my heart <3

RIP mj

I liked the Puma!

wow.....thats pretty much all i can say.



oh and I love you

Actually by default the radar picks up everything that moves.

In halo 2 and halo 3 the radar does not pick up crouch walking.

Awesome maps Inferno. I can't wait to play them all.

hey guys i got a server up with these maps for a few come play

Some of the maps have weapon balance issues. I just played Hydrogen's server. The pit is a grenade spam fest, on lockout the flamethrower is OP, and on the circle thing the shotgun is way overpowered. There's a few other issues that make the maps still feel like betas:

Snowtrap - you can get onto the mountain on the side of the map, getting you a full view of 90% of the bsp

The regret map - no oddball spawn and part of the bsp has no collision

Pipeline - You get killed before passing the poles in the ice

The pit - You can grenade jump out of the map and get a clear view of the area from a spawn point

That's 1 of like 50 secrets.
There are 3 secrets on that map all together btw.

Downloading. should be done soon. anyone got a dedi server for these yet?

we need to get a game together 16 players on snow trap :]. I am also curious what 16 players on circle pit would be like

the maps were nice dude!

Wow, you know, I haven't been into halo CE for the longest time, but seeing these make me want to stat mapping again. These are fantastic! Sorry to see you leave, but thanks a ton for the inspiration!

Those RT reflections on that ice map are going to make a lot of peoples computers die.

For me they flicker wildly. Dynamic mirrors seem to do that on my computer so some reason. It's probubly just my graphics card.

Those are some interesting modifications. How would I set the defailt FOV and radar sensitivity on my maps?

However, my biggest question is this: How would I add my own backpack weapons onto bipeds? I know it has got to do with scripts (I checked the backpack script released on the site) and modeling different permutations (I think) with different weapons on the same biped.

The FOV modications are done in the biped, under $$$ UNIT $$$. There, you'll find a box for "camera field of view".

As for backpack weapons, CAD's method involves having weapon permutations for each player. It then uses a script to determine which weapons you have, and which weapon you have readied. The biped then switches to the permutation containing the weapon which isn't in use.

Maps are all badass man. Great work. Just hope more people will go back to making maps and stuff.

You guys have a lot of secrets to find.

I stuck so much random stuff in those maps.
