Way too empty and flat.

looks too big than bigass.. cool

In the bottom right hand corner area of the screenshot, consider putting a rockethog station or something.

Thanks guys, I'm taking everything to consideration, and I'm doing adjustments to the terrain so it isn't so 'flat'.

Any weapon tagset you guys want? H1 or H3?

CMT...

Halo 5 tagz plz

H3 tagset, halo 1 tagset isn't that relevant.

those cliffs could use some work but not bad I guess.

As for a tagset, try with classic H1 tagset for a while then shift to another to see if the gameplay remains the same. maybe try working with the H3 Foundry tags

I've kinda been experimenting with tagsets that visually look better but play like halo 1. maybe you could try something like that. and i dont mean like Anniversary either.

Use standard tagset, but replace the pistol visually with the Battle Rifle. Yes, that means a Battle Rifle that doesn't have the 3 bullet burst (making it kind of like the Halo 2 demo battle rifle).

So these go to my buddy Lodex and the rest that want to see my silly tagset =3
I can do H4 tagset if you nerds want. I'm interested in the H4 DMR, Beam Rifle and Covenant Carbine. In combination with CMT tagz.

Why not? It could be interesting to see Anniversary tags (I mean, Halo 3 and Reach tags with H1 anims and CEA sounds). You could keep the old behaviour, but use newer graphics

What is the setting of this map, if you don't mind me asking?

The bsp needs tones of work in level design and visual interest. Its a giant box at the moment with large sweeping, uninteresting plains in front of both bases. As an example, you could rather make a huge drop off cliff at these plains and have the center connection be a large landbridge. this helps with the level design immensely getting rid of the boring areas and generating tons of more visual interest.

What Higuy said. Maybe add some cover too so it's not a total a sniper fest.

Like the movie Frozen, snowy winter =3




Yeh I was planning of starting tomorrow. I am doing a few cliffs in the mid, with a porno room hidden, Gaigher gave me a few months ago the page where he gets all the jizz. I'm just thinking how il make the snow blend terrain, but i'l figure it out after a few glasses of good Spanish wine.

Been texturing,Pics:

Looks Cool, keep up the good work.

Halo 1 tagset.
The H3 one from Foundry might work well too.

You bump a thread 7 minutes after it's been started!? Are you trying to get the thread locked?

Let's just say he has... problems which can't be explained just saying.

Looks really promising. I'd suggest either making a variation of the classic CE tagset or using the h3 foundry ones.

Why not a vote on which one to use?

Kay guys, the people have spoken. Halo 4 tags it is.




Man if you comment to kick/ban that guy. At least give me feedback on the map =s

ah sorry XD i was Going to comment later it looks really good for a Start some weapon origins are off ar/shotgun a little thé bsp is Nice i could fix weapons if you want. Has to be on xfire though

A liltle update: I'l be using the textures seen in this map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEk3LzLjL-s on Lazarus Gulch. Hope you all a Happy New Years btw.




You did <3. and the effects. =D I'm waiting for a good map to use it. And the other one.

That explains everything.

BTW, A little more action on the floors and cliffs.

Soft selection it

After I do a lightmap project , each lightmap takes 6-8 hours to render in my laptop..., il begin this project. I will use the cam shotgun in combination with CMT and H4 weapunz.

I sort of agree it's a classic mexican trait.

Doesn't matter if you don't use a tag ppl have worked hard on as long as it plays fair.

This is actually pretty great. I'd very much like to see the scheme applied to an MA5, as well.

Flanker already has my weapon tags, so you might see some in future maps.

Definitely a good staple for people who don't understand gameplay design or balancing. However, it's not a huge thing as long as you playtest it and make sure it's all working properly. Honestly I've got a salad of tags in the set that I use, generally the specific model in the "class" of weapon that I liked the best, since I can do shaders well but have no experience modeling I had to choose from what was available (which I will remedy this year hopefully, it looks like a ton of fun and is a very useful skill). Therefore my tagset is a collection of odd models, but all the shaders have been completely redone to fit a pretty unified artistic theme, and all the weapons' designs, effects, damage values, recoil settings, melee damages, etc etc have been changed and customized to make the tagset as balanced as possible.

Not to rant, but while generally not mixing tagsets is a good idea, it only really matters if you're just copy and pasting tags into a map, and not really adjusting things to fit where they need to.
