What depends on what?

I think he's just saying he's not factoring in the polies of the portals and player clipping geometry.

Gridiron?

Cliffs still need to be unwrapped, but I wanted to see what this map looks like in game.

The materials are so perfect on that map, id give my left nut to retexture it

Definitely looking forward to levels post c10, if you catch my drift.

Maybe you could chamfer the cliff edges a bit to redude the sharpness, but apart from that everything looks spectacular. Keep it up!

I love it, but some places are a little dark, well thats my opinión, everthing is perfect, I liked the forerunner structures

good god that is beautiful.

This really looks awesome, great job pope. And I'm really looking foward to see how you do a library esque map.

I can see it taking place around here.

I'm looking forward to the AOTCR/2B level. One should be outside with some snow and ice, the other should be built into the cliffs and feature bridges (think Boarding Action but not awful).

Also, The Flood map. Quagmire is one of my favorite CE maps because of how well it captures the atmosphere of that level. Why aren't more maps set in the swamp environment?

why include a swamp map in the games when they can sell it to you as paid DLC.

Some rude fellow took the name Gridiron before Pope released his map, and then his map was leaked (I think?).

Fairly certain there was a public beta for it.

Shameless plug: you can still catch it on my server

Yeah guys, come to GMYF server if you want to play maps like this :)

I think it'd be cool to have AOTCR feature bridge combat, obviously high up in the air. I think Two Betrayals should feature some kind of vertical combat. The single player map had that at certain parts, mainly with the banshee. We don't see that in a lot of multiplayer maps.

vertical combat seems to be really hard to pull off for some reason. If you had a lot of niches in the sides of a canyon and had that going up it may work but you'd need something else to make it not feel like a cluster of caves.

Thanks for the support guys! The next map, T&R will have one base in the desert canyon and another base inside of the covenant ship.

Bump.

It's great to see maps of various sizes. Not sure what your plans are for the other ones, but it would be great to see a couple of small, asymmetrical 2v2-sized maps for scrims :P

LOL, even game maker is able to handle more polygons xD

Halo is able to handle more polies...

And more mexicans....

There you go. 100k triangles.

Trying to prove something?

Tried to prove that CE can easily handle more than just 10k triangles.

I'm also making these 'classic' based maps. Proper material and lighting > cramming triangles into a map. I'm not going to waste my time and put 100,000 triangles into 10 maps. Let alone, I don't have that kind of time. More detail = more work. I plan on getting this map pack done before June 1st, 2016. If I want to build highly detailed levels, then I'll do it for a next gen engine or a single player mission. Why would I waste my time doing that for the Halo CE engine?

Map Pack Main Objectives: To be mainly focused on creating a classic gameplay experience with a limitation of 10,000 triangles.

Maybe I'm being OCD about the number 10, but whatever.

Sorry, read that post out of context :/

Always loved your forerunner modeling, so clean and true to the style.

This isn't something that's uncommon knowledge? You realize this isn't the point of these maps? Didn't we all already tell you this?

The Dutch can be stubborn at times.
Did you also know they actually eat peanut butter on fries? They call it: patat oorlog, which means "WAR POTATOE".

Look at the quote I had in that post. It was not directed to Pope.

A few updates. Added some teleporters and populated the map a bit. Cliffs are completely unwrapped. I just need to create a new ground texture.

I think the waterfall could be unwrapped better.

Agreed, will fix.

Also, what do you guys think about detail objects (grass)? I'm not sure if I should add it..
