Here it is so far.

Looks awesome to me.

I think it looks nice.

Looks badass, but what's wrong with it ? you won't ever finish it ?

Yeah, i might never finish it.

and why ?

I don't gots da skillz.

I feel that way about all my projects too, haha.

But yeah, your map is lookin' great, I'd love to play it if you can manage to finish it.

Good vibes and keep up the good work

obviously you just don't have the patience/motivation.
Seriously these stunning maps never get finished. Just grind it out so we can play it and make knockoff versions with Halo Reach+Halo 4 tags. Honestly you should already know how good this looks and that it's worth finishing.

motivation don't grow on trees

well it sorta grows in opium poppies and some other plants but I wouldn't recommend that type of motivation heh

So any thoughts about the name of the map?

I was thinking the map is going to be on an island on a halo somewhere. Tropical themed because i like the jungley looks of things. What do you guys think?

boxxy

well if it's supposed to be tropical call it "furlough" meaning vacation in fancy terms.

I modified it a bit.









I was thinking the name could be something like Overgrowth, or maybe Undertake.

Man I already imagine this in game! I have some sexy Foreruner textures and they suit your map just fine! and I would love to help you out with this! You want me to send them to you?

Now that I can see the Spartans a little clearer that is a LOT bigger than I thought it was.

Halomaps is just wrong.





but i still love it <3

Yeah, i was going to ask what the render distance was for Halo ce, but i just thought it wouldn't help me much because i wouldn't know how far that would be anyway. Should I scale this down? Also, I wanted to make this map completely custom, so this thing might take a while to finish.

Edit: Also, i liked how the Halo 4 forerunner structures look, even though i never got the chance to play Halo 4.

Release a classic version first? That way you can get it out the door and make fixes/improvements for the inevitable h3/h4/reach/mix/wtv version that I won't play? :D <3

Looks good, following this project

Looks good :)

Looks really good :)

Looks Fantastic :)

Looks ok :)

Looks well :)

Looks descent :)

I can imagine a cmt tagset looking good on this map.

So many people using Waffle's avatar, what should we do now?

Wow such waffles avatar.

Here are some wireframe.







Edit: Hmm... Not very good ones... :l

And yes I know it's not triangulated yet.

Couldn't agree more man.

Looking at the wireframe, Holy sheepsicles that's so clean e.e
For a map that looks like that, its surprisingly low poly!

I have to agree with waffle's sentiment, it feels very similar to Halo 4's forerunner stylings with a touch of halo 1's sort of "sealed" forerunner as I like to call it (no floaty parts for you!).

After looking at your map for a bit, it reminded me a bit of longest, and I feel like it should get a big fancy name that would befit the forerunner-ness. As such, I looked through google and found a decent synonym for elongate, which is "Aggrandize". How's that sound?

Use Waffle's avatar.

Why not Extension?

The wireframe might only look clean because some things are not triangulated yet.
I really did like the Halo 4 forerunner architecture even though i have never payed Halo 4. I was thinking there was going be floating pieces in the map somewhere sometimes later if i could find a good place that it would fit in with, unless you guys don't like the whole floating pieces.

I don't think that the map should be called Aggrandize because the style and gameplay isn't going to be similar to longest and is going to be a bit more open. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

Or Extinction? ;) Honestly, I like it. Looks simple, looks clean. Looks like if it gets ingame it could generate some fun times.

Well, you know. Got to be humble. :3

But i really thought that no one would really care much for it because it seems like most people don't care for what i got to post.

I recommend that you turn some of the faces into quads using the edge tool. That way when you run into errors with tool, you won't have to delete a large face in order to fix a problem.

A good idea would be to connect this structure with an interior map. Large scale battles outside, epic close quarters battles in the forerunner structure. Think about it

Hmm, I get a Gephy/Narrows feeling :)

A thought. Put 1 (in the center) or 2 (on the sides) waterways spewing from somewhere onto a trapezoidal-like drain and going over the edge into a large lake below and call it "Aqueduct" or "Drainage"
