It's been a long time since I've modeled forerunner, but I decided to look at a few concepts through Halo 3 and Anniversary multiplayer. At first, I was trying something similar to the Joust map layout in Unreal Tournament in the sense that it would be 'chaotic'. But I decided to base it on a forerunner bridge in the high mountains of installation 04 during spring time. Once I have the whole bridge model complete, I will add some touch up details to the bridge and post some pictures again. I'm really excited to do the terrain for this level, I want to make it seem believable with a crashing waterfall leading out to an ocean and a custom skybox.

Looks very cool :)

Oh so nice.

oh so very nice

looks great, i hope u finish it

In case any of you are wondering, I use to be dapimppope. But I hated that nickname.

Holy crap, hey man, things are all good with you i hope.

This looks a lot symmetrical... looking cool for 2v2 tho

Is it me, or does it seema lot like that level on Halo 2 where you have to fight ont eh Gondola?(not Regret or Delta halo, the other one) It looks a lot like the Gondola there for some reason, if you take out the walls.

you mean the quarantine zone final part, yes i found it pretty similar to that

this looks sick!

one thing i would like to point out is that if this map is being designed for ctf there needs to b more entrances into the flag room. all successful ctf maps have at least 2, sometimes 3 entrances to the flag, otherwise its just too easy to camp, especially when it's in a room. it looks really nice tho :)

awesome but those rocky cliffs look like testicles
the lower ones

LOL. This is the best crit ever. Jesus, how do those look like testicles? Maybe if someone got wacked in the nuts with a baseball bat or something.

OMG that's awesome kingfished, maybe make little smoothing groups, and this is would be awesome :D ;) nice job man !!!

So you're saying it's not normal for my testicles to look like that? Uh oh

OOoo very nice :P

Jaw-dropping.

----------Update-------------

Glacier is a work in progress, it will probably look better with a good texture though. The smoothing groups are also temp.

wow, nice

it's great to see work like this being done every now and then, the structures are great. also the detail is very cool, i can see plenty of hiding places in there.
i'm not on as much as normal, but i will be looking this thread up at every chance.

Just a little update before I completely finish the model. (Mountain waterfall and stream are placeholders, along with the glacier texture)

I love it aesthetically! I'm just a little worried about each side that is set into the hills. What do you have planned for it? My concern is that it looks a little empty.
I admit to not having the rest of the thread though :p

nvm, I know what you are talking about.

Those are pretty much the spawn areas, but I do see what you mean. I'll see how it plays before adding cover around those areas.

WOW.
That is nice.

Woah thats sexy looking, Like Sexier than a Porn-Star!

Glowing textures and lights everywhere? :)

I got the cliffs unwrapped and now I'm working on texturing the top part of the bridge.

Just some of the UVW mapping you guys can expect.

Looking good pope! you may want to scale it up a little bit it looks like, but then again im not exactly sure.

Looks fine in proportions. I like small maps like these.

Na, it's suppose to be this small. It's not easy getting eight or more people to play on a medium-large sized map these days . But getting another person or three others to play with you is pretty easy to do with a smaller level. I just hope the gameplay works well with this map.

the small size looks like it would be as fun as ratrace and caro with pistol/shotgun.

Looking good. Perhaps you could give single player mapping a try in the future? That way you don't have to worry about getting a bunch of people together to play MP :)
