Danke.

OK guys. Tomorrow comes a big mega update. Spartan and I will be updating the map tomiorrow as far as progress here on the site.

And at long last a release or just another step in dev...?

Oh, this update will be a step in dev.
A very large one also.
I won't reveal much before the actual update; bt there will be some very juicy new content and details!

Hurry up and post!

So you are making the map for Rambo?

ok so i just wanted you all to know that we need modelers and people to help finish the map BLOOD CREEK!

unfortunately im not the most expert modeler in the world and ive been helping rambo almost every day sence december. ive had no time to my self. and ive modeled the entire office building inside. and its no easy task. most of it was before i knew anything about modeling, and a lo t of hard work has bene put into this. i am an active member. you might not know me real well but my name is helti. im autistic and yes i love halo, but. ive got work and school and i cant be the only one helping rambo with this map. i need help with the modeling. if anyones interested in fixing bowling alley lanes and finishing up our very hard work it would help me to no end. rambo is thinking of killing an almost entirely complete project. and i hate to see all my work go to the dump. anyways if anyones got extra time add rambo on skype and on xfire. and his name is guardian2433

please help us with this project. this is very important to me. as ive said its a whole winters worth of work.

thanks and i will continue to contribute.

i have done what i can, but am having trouble seeing this map complete.
i have talked to rambo on a few occasions and all i seem to hear is i want to add this, this and this (he'll know what i'm talking about). also my pc having lost a stick of ram struggles right now.
as i have said before, i would gladly help more if i knew when the end of adding to it would be.
also i don't see why updates need to be released everytime something new gets added.
just do what needs done, and have it done with.
the best thing to say in this thread is list what all still needs done. then see if anyone is interested
in helping more.

Weapon wise, the only thing remaining is me finisheing the L96, redoing some parts of the Beretta, contemplating a Machinegun and getting a few thing in game.
This map will have full support of OS and will take full advantage of OS3
Scenery wise, I think we're complete.
BSP wise, a lot of textures need to be redone/ updated for better visual quality. What Rambo plans on doing with the model of the bsp: I dont even know. I think he wants to finish the office building, the bowling alley, and the dorms?
All I know is that he DESPERATLEY needs BSP modelers.
I don't run this project, I only animate and model.
Also, we will be appearing at CE3 2012.
>We are also planning a small public beta release closer to the summer.

in order to ferrit out and eliminate the unsureness of how it will be completed (Ie comment "is he only adding more and more?" "when will this be finished?" etc.), im going to post a report of how the map should look when its complete. i told rambo to type me a document. he shall have it for me soon. thank you all for replying.

i know rambo can be a little vague on what hes trying to say... i understand why that is and i have a better way of relaying thoughts than most people. i call rambo every day and we talk a lot. i even know his brother now, lol. that better than most people... and knowing about him and myself i can better explain to you how we work that out. and how we thing.

because for me having autism i used to have the hardest time talking to people. understanding what they mean or say was always difficult. and now that im older and ive had a lot of speech tharapy for pragmatics and inferences and what not Applied behavor analisys and, processing tharapy, i know better how to comunicate. and be able to pick up on the meaning behind things said i can comunicate better with people. i can easily understand rambo and his quirkyness because i have simelar traits.

if anyones interested in learning more about my situation and rambos situation you are always welcome to talk to me. im MORE than HAPPY to discuss how all this works...

i LOVE talking about this kind of thing because its a part of who i am.


EDIT: post script. this is how the map should look. he sortof wants pretty much a city structure. but its not AS big as a city. we only need these following details. i proposed to him that we can have some of the filler buildings be exteriors only. and so that should speed the project up. and im also thinking it can be possible to clip some of this.

this is the report he sent me that i will directly relay to you:

Blood Creek Campus

So far, we have the dorms; the office; the youth gym center; gas station; and bowling alley; as well as a building for dorms across near Blue Base's entrance. What we will have is a prison across from that; to the left of the prison, a police station; a bus station; another office; and a dorm building between the one by the youth center and the one at the end of the area with the parking lot that's empty.

so now, the map will have bus stops along the routes with people that can drive buses. It'll have a fire station and one hospital, perhaps. Basically, for the buildings on the right, we need at least one on the left.

Finally, for every building along the residential side, there needs to be one on the commercial side to match so it doesn't look asymetrical. There's an entrannce to red base, and an entrance to blue base, but also, we need to connect to the hall near green side. It will work out near the end.

Finally, a major revamp of the map needs to take place. We need a school in the center of the map, or else it won't be a campus. Another thing is, some of this looks too squarish. It should be more rounded. Like there should be roads leading AROUND the campus and a major highway leading out of the campus and to "dead zone", which is a dead end but for campaigners, can be used as a get-away from zombies. To the right, a race track around the map would be cool.

Overall, roads need hills; landscape needs banks; there needs to be guardrails for some areas like highways. The map has a good ending outcome; we just need to get there.


i wish we could have a mapping team. rather than him depending only on a few people like me.
in other news, im going to be making a new map soon. i hope you all will like it
