its not the people in the forums you should be worried about

Pesonally, I think that if anyone decides to make renditions of this, they should work in accord with dbl helix. He created an awesome BSP and all he really needs help on is getting some more scenery and tags in general, and maybe a small fix or two in the model. I will say the only thing i didn't like was how the abyss goes so far down :P
Most everything is great as it is and it will just ruin it if everyone decides that they need their so called "custom" tagset to be in this map. it would just be like. "oh look! MOOOORE overused CMT tags! Oh goodie!!!"

I don't want his work ruined either, because if it is, he will never make any more reach bsp and release them *cries* Please don't mod it, you must work with him, not without him 032.

Im not replacing the weapons,Im redoing the BSP completely then populating it again.

yoko doesn't do half what he says he will do.

Yoko just wants to do Reach projects, like everyone else. Again, I agree we should do h3 stuff.
Please don't hate me Yoko.

I dont want to do reach projects,just that you cant please everyone,I'll make two versions,one h3,and MAYBE one reach.

that just lowers the player population for the map. as they'll be split up between the 2, over which they like better.

Do reach. A lot of people are willing to play reach maps, I guess.

i found one collision problem but other than that this is a great map.

Agreed just make a reach one. its a Reach map it needs Reach Weapons.

that's a phantom, good find.

I noticed that too the first time I played it.

Darn, I really thought I got all of the phantom bsps. I'll fix that for next version. But yes, I do think it would be awesome to get some Reach weapons in this map, and I'm working on some scenery and stuff for it. If anyone wants to collaborate with me and get some weapons in here, I'd be all for it, my only condition is I don't want any ripped materials...

what does it matter if it's ripped? not a lot of people wanna make the stuff anyways

I think with this map he's shooting for an authenticity similar to when people first started making H2 and H3 maps. Everything was from scratch, stuff didn't even have new anims, everything looked slightly off from their real counterparts, etc.

Yeah, but I also think that if you're making a custom map, you should make custom content. I don't know, I also think it's much more impressive to make a map completely custom than just to rip all the content from the actual game.

Essentially, you mean this is Halo Custom Edition, not Halo ConvertOtherStuffIntoIt Edition?

Custom Edition is for Custom Stuff, not ripped stuff.

sir I salute you

Ya, I see your point. I agree.

I love this guy.
Great job on the map dude.

here's the list of weapons that are on power house:

DMR x 5
Focus Rifle x 1
Gravity Hammer x 1
Grenade Launcher x 1
Magnum x 3
Needle Rifle x 2
Needler x 2
Plasma Pistol x 3
Plasma Repeater x 1
Rocket Launcher x 1
Shotgun x 1
Frag Grenade x 6
Plasma Grenade x 6

yea i got them from bungie.net lol

Well, I'm glad that people see where I'm coming from about ripping content.

Anyways...I fixed the mask for the DMR scope...apparently a white pixel in each corner will make the corners of the screen black...

And I got some scenery done on the second floor of the main building:

I also replaced two DMRs for an assault rifle and a pistol. There are now only two DMRs on the map, but you spawn with one so...

i don't know if you'll do this but you could take the AR from this map along with the other reach weapons and put them in. but you'll have to give the guy some credit.

By Chance will you be changing the DMR and Magnum?
I could try to make the DMR ( it might not be amazing) but I could try. I have gmax btw.

White = opaque, will not see through.
Black = transparent, will see through.

nice map dude, it need some work but has so much potential, keep it up

that map i linked has a better looking DMR, an untextured reach sniper, and a reach AR. and some other weapons that i think are in reach.

hmm...I guess im going to work with you then Double Helix,I got almost all the weapons actually.

How is it possible that a Reach map was made sooner than a H3 map =L

Because people like Helix aren't afraid of criticism, and don't expect their map to be perfect. We need more of the people like Helix, because then we would have more room for working together and collaborating to make the map perfect.

This isn't NEAR perfect at all, but hey, It's powerhouse, I like it, fun to play, and it was made with actual effort. Cannot complain, the kids got guts to make a already made map in a hostile territory, I'm surprised no one has complained about detail in Reach not being in this model. Very nice job, keep it up. Perhaps I can give u a better DMR? lmao

@ihalo
Well he never said it was perfect and at least he released something that took time and this is not finnished as he said

anyways awesome map just need new textures and Reach Weapons

Yes, I agree, it's not perfect. I don't want it to be "perfect." I want it to remind you of the original and play quite similar to it as well. Yes, it's unfinished, however; I do plan to remain working on it. If I can't get around to finishing it, even with people's help I will probably release all of my .max files for it so everyone else can mess with it (but don't count on that happening anytime soon, if at all...)

Nice job, dude.
Keep it up!
(Time to do some superjumping and imagine that I'm in a jetpack )
