Summary of entire thread:

The map was made for Rub3n's IG Clan(Ironically, they were disbanded soon after)
It has trains
The trains are synced devices Kirby has been working on
This project is now open source. Anyone can jump in and contribute to the map(after I validate the changes made of course).

Story: The only two ships that survived the final spore war were heading towards the inter-colonies for refuge when they picked up a distress beacon from an unregistered planet.

looks more like a wartorn city....and also looks nice tho :)

its pretty cool ..looks nice though

looks nice..looks nice though

Looks like a Call of Duty map. Also, I think you should consider reducing the amount of detail on that model.

I know, but it was nice though.

Somehow reminds me of the second level of cod mw2, where you get pulled up by General Shepherd in the middle of an afghan city.
Could make a great city map, if the mesh is fixed. Go for it.

Nah reminds me more of the stage we're America is under attack and your on the roof of that restaurant thing with the predator drone and there's that gas station and stuff

Well, I do need some shadering and custom light maps which I won't probably learn to use. The meshes I created will always not look the same in-game.

Reminds me of this one time, at band camp.

I like the look of it. You've got kind of a big project here, awesome model but obviously it doesn't stop there. Good luck

Nah reminds me more of the stage where there's btr's driving round ur position and you have thermal snipers and turret

For some reason, it reminds me of COD4 during the nuke part....

COD sucks, and doesn't look anything like any craptacular level in it. Looks good though.

it reminds me of that time where america raped japan with a little toy called the atomic bomb.

^this

Reminds me when Higuy's mom-

Nah I'm not going to


Fell from the sky

ok i did

lol, but it looks nice though but it needs powerlines

While expanding the map, I realised that it may have gotten too big so I was thinking of adding a unique transport system to the map other than the warthogs. What do you guys think?
-Zekilk

Civvi Hogs? Without the heavy weapons on the back, it's sure to increase speed...

Or are you talking about a singular (or multiple) mode(s) of transportation that could end up as a choke point for anyone who rides in it? Like a tram system, for instance.

Then again, if nobody's controlling it, it might not sync over MP...

Do devices sync online? If so, you could make a subway kinda thing.

no. *que masterz getting slammed by train on h2 terminal*

Alright train it is. Sorry for my absence these past few days. I have been busy with school since the exams are coming soon. I'll try to post a picture by today.
-Zekilk

Okay, that was pretty late. As stated in the OP, this was a request for rub3n to make a map for his clan so yea.
-Zekilk

The thing with trains is that it's a .device_machine (if the player[s] aren't controlling it), and it might not sync online. Halo 2 had a better netcode than Halo CE, so I'm guessing .device_machines synced to an extent on the maps...

Still can't wait for this to be released.

lol im in major need of a city bsp :p

There is this one part of the city that the two teams can use for a 15 second firefight in a last-ditch effort to protect the flag. Once it is realeased, you could extract that part of the map for your BSP.



Wait a sec, since the subway is linked to every weapon cache located on the surface and if there is only one train, the players will be forced to try and take over it if they ever want the upper hand.

This plus the device-activated blockages scattered throughout the city, a new method I found that will help players hijack vehicles without seats and the fact that the two bases are located in the subway facing each other with the train spawning in front of them equals to...
-Zekilk

No, no, you misunderstood me. I don't mean player(s) controlling it as in possession of, I mean controlling as in driving it. With the tram system as-is, you're going to end up using .device_machines, and those don't properly sync online. If it was a .vehicle, then that would be a different issue. How would you keep it on-track?

I am currently testing a new method of using devices. If all goes to hell, plan B would be using a huge warthog on an underground road.
-Zekilk

Ah, I see. I hope it works then!

A Transport Hog would be a better idea instead of the standard Hog, imo.

i like the detail, i dun like the ce city maps with big blocks where the windows look like theyre painted on, i like the idea of a train too. i think its gonna b cool. looks nice tho.

It has been exactly a week since my last update. Tommorow is the start of my exams which will last for 3 weeks. The good news is that if I get good grades, i can finally get a new laptop(blender and a few other programs lags on this pc. Damn you Lagzilla!!!!!!!!).

This is all I have for now,


Not much really but hey, I did this in 30 minutes. Usually I would do a doodle first but it seems that someone stole our idea of adding the very first halo train. I'll let the latter have his fun since their train will never be as efficient and complex as ours without my newly improved Z-pots and LRTs.

Yea because i am sure you know much more about the engine/editing kit than kirby does.
Care to explain how complex and efficient your train will be?

anyway, what is that model supposed to be, i can not tell.

To be honest with you, this project is supposed to be open source just like my other projects. however, the HEK AIO thread was never updated even after one month so I'm just gonna leave the tags here. Look at the OP.
