Hi all, I am new to this forum,

I understand that there are some very good firefight maps on this net and I have been playing them for quite a while. Now I have an idea, but unfortunately I'm not well versed in scripting and stuff, so I'll just state it below.

Tensity -- Firefight

I like the symmetry of Tensity, as well as its Tagset of CMT Weapons. I would suggest waves of Spirit Dropships to bring in enemies.

2 Spirits per wave, each docking at two bases opposite each other.

The enemies would comprise of Elites, Grunts, Jackals and Hunters (Saved for the boss waves).

Each wave would have 12 enemies in total brought in by the spirits.

For weapons found on the map, I'll suggest the CMT Weapon Tagset, but any human weapons should work fine, so long as they are modified to give Halo Custom Edition the new amazing feel. I suggest:

Assault Rifle
Battle Rifle
Pistol
MA5K Carbine
Sniper Rifle
Shotgun
Sub Machine Gun
Flamethrower
Spartan Laser

Enemies would be equipped with (CMT Weapons):
Plasma Rifle
Plasma Pistol
Needler
Fuel Rod Cannon
Energy Sword

The reasons why Tensity would make a good Firefight map:

1. It's symmetrical, so enemies can land on your right and left!

2. During gameplay with friends on LAN I realised that only the strong-willed would survive against an onslaught from all sides. I feel Tensity delievers this, with little place to hide, but good sniping places from where you are.


That's about it. I don't need credit for this, but would it be possible that someone on this nice forums work on it? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Some members of this forum are already working on it, feel free to give them suggestions and feedback!

I like the idea, I'm not sure about the CMT weapons though. It's just me, I'm not a huge fan of CMT's SPV2 tags. I like the idea of them being brought down in a spirt. Haven't seen that in a firefight yet. I do not know how to script firefights yet. However I do think this would be a good project for someone.

Oh, I almost forgot: WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!

Thanks both for your comments!

Sorry, I forgot how CMT names their maps. Will change it to Tensity Firefight. :)

I could do this but use asp tags and some cmt covenant weapons but i don't have tensity and am working on about 13 sp's at the moment!

What? ONLY 13! Muscl3r I believe you'e been slacking off. Everyone knows to be 'cool' in the community you have to be working on at least 15 different maps a once.
JK.

oh my mistake. I'm only working on 14 sp's at the moment. Only 5 are very close to completion. Gee, i have been slacking off. All these sp's are my campaign, the rush h3 remake and city firefight.

Muscl3r, How could such a good map maker like your self stoop so low? JK. Good luck with the maps your making. Perhaps one day you could make tensity firefight!

yeah! And that would make it 15 maps and i would be cool! Thanks btw!

Whoa Muscl3r! 15 maps! Good luck on them!

Thanks man. I'm gonna need it for the last few missions of my campaign which are airborne style and odst style

If u wanna make good firefight maps of suggestions look in technical area. ODST team is making firefghts.

i think we should do a firefight on tensity just for this guy. I might do this after city firefight

Hey guys,

Thanks for all your kind words and guidance around the forums. Take your time on your personal projects, mine was just an idea. Thanks again, and good luck!

Sure you could help. Thanks! I'll get Headnoob to make some anims for dropships when he learns how to
Edited by Muscl3r on Dec 11, 2010 at 04:19 PM

Thanks once more guys! Good luck!

I'm looking forwards to its release.

Its gonna be a while. I have a LOT of work to do

That's okay. I don't care how long it takes.

All this hullabaloo and everyone forgot about Ol' Faithful.

Didn't you say you stopped working on that for like a year?
Edited by pepzee on Dec 15, 2010 at 04:17 PM

I said I would be working on it less, not stopping for a year. If I did that, I wouldn't be able to finish it, because I would already have finished Basic and gone into enlistment.

Oh, my mistake. However that looks like a big project that might take some time.

Are you in the Military?

I will be beginning in the fall.

Wait, that means you will be leaving halomaps.org next year:

Hope you finish Descent by then!

Lol. Don't worry, it will be done within the next couple months.
(If you are reading this Shade can I haz animz? )

Hey guys,

Wow, Firefight Descent looks awesome! Keep up the good work! As for Tensity, take your time, if you have other projects in mind. Work on one at a time, to be better focused. Thanks for all your support so far!

What do you think sounds better:

Tensity Firefight or Firefight Tensity?

Firefight Tensity. It rolls off the tongue much easier.

Also, for my map, would you guys like to see it name Firefight-Descent, or just Descent? (Since the map was made from scratch)

Firefight decent. Decent just sounds so...undecent

It dosen't really matter, but I'm in for

1) Firefight-Descent
2) Firefight-Tensity

Firefight-Decent?
You mean Firefight-Descent, right... \
Two majorly different words.

I also think Firefight-Decent sounds better. By the way, will there be music for it (like in mud-skirmish and airlock)?

How about "Firefight Density" ?

Good thing you asked. The map currently uses 12 different tracks.

What? How? Does it have that menu option? All of the other firefights only have 4 songs so far.
