lol what'd you expect, most of the tags in the map don't belong to him.

Nice map Shadow Slayer I'm Fan

the map was ok but its good that it was let out so poeple can have a new map to play =D expect there was many bug...

-mess up icon
-elite with carbine with even kill me while im in his face....
-not all weapon can be use...like the plasma cannon and energy sword...=((
-cant really find the ar ammo...only found br,shotgun,pistol and SMG.

and is the elite voice from halo 2 =D anyway thank for making the map.

I did not like the encounters, Not enough variety, and they never moved.
Too many weapons with not enough ammo.
Terrible HUD that makes figuring out how much health you have left nearly impossible to those who don't know how to check.
Jackal shields are impossible to shoot through to hit the hand.
Basically:
Nice map, great shaders.
Bad Tag List
No variety
Bad HUD
AI don't move more than 10 M around where they started.
No Hunters as far as i can see.

There really isn't much more to cooment on than what has already been said before....

Like many have said this is more akin to a beta release than as final in terms of quality,
weapon drops are scatted all over the place, no real need for splazer or rl if there arent any vehicles or hunters, a dissaponting lack of varity, ultra shiney elites, poor music looping
and what amused me the most is jackel plasma rifle jackles attack fellow covenants

If you are willing to go back and polish this map then you'll have something great on your hands.

....the map was ok.... I hope you can fix the bugs these guys mentioned.....I like the phantom Idea though. It's also funny how grunts stay in the phantom and die later. :D

Uhh, hate to give low scores but 7/10....

So what you mean is this is public beta material basically. I agree. I loved all the structures and areas to go. Fix some gameplay issues such as the dying grunts, the groups not able to cross certain barriers, and um... weapon drops spawning empty weapons and I would give it a really good rating for sure!

@gnademassica117

well maybe before you even tried, you should have looked at all the names associated with this map. NO CRAP IT'S PROTECTED! And that comment, as well as your instant desire to rip, is why many people don't even give these little betas anymore.

I got bored playing this after constantly having to search for brain-dead AI.
And why protect ripped h3 content?

shadowslayer, if you release a v2 at some point, let me see the .scenario and allow me to implement some better AI. Getting good AI is tricky in Custom Firefight considering redundancy and level designs.

looked at join date...
looked at how you called it "learning"

plz just save us the trouble of saying it.

There is one reason and one reason only that people try to rip brand new maps and it's TRUE purpose has nothing to do with reverse engineering. That can be done with any old map if you are just trying to figure out how it works. That's why most tutorials are done with standard halo files unless it is like a scripting or animating tutorial which can only be learned through proper understanding of code and 3ds as well as some artistic ability and knowing halo's limits.

also, if you give it a 0/10 apparently you do not play the game for the love of the game but for the so called "glory" of having your name slapped on something. They want a rating and don't give a rats ass about how you didn't learn anything from downloading their map made to be played and enjoyed for the game and not the learning value.

In the maps current state i would rate it 7-8/10 but it has a lot of potential to be a really good firefight.

and gnade, i don't think joddy uses eternal lightning.

Enough of this guys, why is it that every thread has to degrade to a flame war over ripping.

From what i can see the only quality tags in this map worth ripping are the phantom tags and if your really bored the elite tags



If low quality ai bg mods aren't your thing DON'T DOWNLOAD THEM, no one in the community forces you to download anything that is here on halomaps or in the fourms.

/offtopic

Shadowslayer i very much so suggest that you go in and revamp this or make a version 2, this map has great potential, its visually appealing but lacks varity.

I'll take a shot at this cuz im bored.
No matter what, I'm sure you tried your best shadowslayer.
Edited by SlappyThePirate on Oct 11, 2010 at 04:32 PM

gnademassica is jelly that he cant make tags for balls LOL XD

im pretty amazed actually, so far its been all flame, no complements, nothing. i thank the people like odx for giving me feedback, and yes, i know it was bad around the edges, but put yourself in my shoes and see what i have to do every day, and consider how hard it was for me to script this. i thought it was fun, and a good experience for me. this release also shows that in todays community, its nearly impossible to release something without getting flamed because haloce is full of rippers just dying to get their hands on these tags. by releasing this map, not only did i release shades excellent phantom shaders, but i also released yokos elites. because of that, both of these people are angry at me, and i have to accept that this is what happens when something is released. and you guys wonder why nothing comes out anymore

It's possible that you overhyped this map - With talks of personal armor, tons of h3 tags, a phantom, and overflattering screenshots (ahem MoooseGuy), you managed to raise the public's perception of how awesome the map would be. As a result, people expected perfection, and when met with bugs and inconsistencies, have to nitpick over every little thing. Whether this was your intention or not, it has happened, and no one is happy.

thing is, the whole announcer dialog thing was awesome, having phantoms drop off the troops were great, but the weapons and ai were not very good. it seems like you focused a lot on the whole firefight script thing, but not the ai and weapons. also don't just slap down a the whole level's soundtrack from odst, fix the loops, maybe use a music menu with certain songs from odst.

also not a lot of people know how to get through that kind of map protection so don't worry about it.

If anything. I am the one who started that and I already gave crit. My bone to pick was that he solely rated this map a 0/10 on it's "iwanttocollecttagzzzzzzPLZPLZPLZPLZ" abilities. THAT IS REDICULOUS!!!

Granted, I didn't give it an actual rating myself. I will now. Because it is more like a beta quality right now mostly because of the encounters, I rate it a 7/10. This map has huge potential as a firefight map. The thing I love most about it is it's so open. While you can run around to many areas, you can get easily flanked on both sides near the middle. I thought the weapon placement was pretty good, though I do believe that there are a few bugs to be addressed which myself and others have addressed fully I think.

no, you just say that because your going to be ripping my elites from 09, oh wait you did already.

Who's a cigarette?

yeah, he ripped the elites, he has screenshots on his xfire page lol.

And shadow slayer everyone telling you about the bugs and issues they had with the map was a way to help you improve it, i liked it though.

and I TOTALLY had nothing to do with that :p

but you had something do to with the massive leakage of my elites, inwhich about 235 people downloaded =\

oh..........yeah, THAT I had something to do with............awkward........

Just played it, here's the good and bad:
GOOD Elite dialog. Can i haz?
BAD Elite animations. One can tell that you didn't know how to fix those.
GOOD announcer guy dialog.
BAD dialog scripting.
GOOD idea for the hud messages, but
BAD scripting. They disappeared sometimes, or glitched.
GOOD idea for the respawning but
BAD idea to use a weapon to do that. You could have scripted that better, but I guess that's ok.
BAD not fixing the jackal shield!?!?
BAD grunts yelling ALL OF THE TIME.
BAD weapon and ammo placement.
BAD AI!!!11one
BAD srsly bad ai
BAD pickup icons, hud messages, blah blah

BAD get AIDS
Good ???
Good profit
