[GhaleonEB]

Finished the map I'd called Bifocal, now called Sandstorm (lol originality). File set here. http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/filesets.aspx?player=GhaleonEB

I think it's a lot better than Skyline, but that's not saying much.

 

[Striker]

The Mage/Warlock map looks really well done, but may fear for the open grav lift.

There was a version of Warlock made from Foundry called Metalock (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpgEVUunOHc - time: :30 in, clear view). They put a cage and shield over the area where the lift is, and you can still be lifted onto the above platform. This eliminated people from destroying the lift. A smart idea and makes gameplay so much better.

I downloaded it and will check it out tomorrow, as well as Grimm's Turf setup.

 

[Spirit3]

Map "BetaAlphaTango" is coming along nicely. Another original idea, but it has some influence from Warlock and Foundation. The name is pending too, will probably call it Worship. Basically if you saw my Super Elite picture from earlier, it'll be based off that concept.

The golden days of the Mythic Playlist are over. Sad face. Guess I'll have to put up with General's now.

Congrats to those few who got their maps played by our 1up friends. Extra coverage ftw. Good or bad maps, people will download those things like crazy just for seeing them on 1up (maybe).

One of the comments said he had linked it on the MLG forums, I didn't realise it was gaining popularity! Cool I guess. (It also explains the 5 or 6 random messages and chat/friend requests)

There's also a thread on Halo3forums.co.uk (uk's competitive gaming site) which I didn't start. Shits crazy! I'd submit it to Forgheub too but the site wont load for me right now :/

I'm just glad people like it. And now...Lockout

[FFChris]

The remakes are all looking excellent. Turf, Sanctuary (hows that going) and Warlock and some of my favorite maps from H2.

Just Ivory Tower, Ascension and Beaver Creek to go and I'll be a happy gamer.

I gotta get these maps man. I feel like I have to make my own map remake too.

 

[The Librarian]

So, anyone wanna give me some hints about the Mythic pack skulls? I don't have a clue what I'm doing other than looking while in the Forge. I don't want a guide to getting them, just a few hints.

Orbital:

Spoiler

Look above the "pit of death."

Assembly:

Spoiler

Look above the -- what's the proper term? -- "power routers:" those things that connect the map to the huge scarab thing above the map.

Sandbox:

Spoiler

In the dark area of the map; use theater mode to locate the skull, then go back in Forge to get it.

hahaha, hey, at least I joined the forums before most of the people there. I see a lot of peeps who joined in 08. But, I don't even care about that, I watch the VoD and play the games. I've only been to 1 event, where I watched Carbon come back on Final Boss in the playoffs in '06. Shit was sick. I went like everyday that weekend. Might take a trip to Meadowlands to watch for 1 day.

 

[KevinRo]

Me and two of my friends ran into Kevinro in SWAT on Assembly, we got pretty wrecked :lol

I love SWAT, but fucking Elites ruin it, swear to God.

oh, I just read this. Why didn't you tell me you were from GAF? haha You should've sent me a message or an invite I would've played with you. I wasn't an Elite

Indeed. I think there's a bit too much SWAT on Mythic. Little bit lag (I have a great connection, but I am from Finland) and some Elite jumpers make me cry like a true Jaffa.

 

[Digital Limit]

As promised, Turf II v2 is done and much has been fixed.

Download: http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=68285306

Hope you like what you see

Put a couple of boxes in the garage now for some cover. Higher walls as well.

Aw, you can't drive the Warthog around the map anymore

Then again, is it even in the map anymore? Probably nixed it for budget? Sucks that Sandbox is seeming a bit limited right off the bat.

EDIT: Also, it's unfortunate you don't use the light sources anywhere in the map. *curses the budget*

ie

, I'm surprised the map has come out as good as it looks. I need to download it and play it a bit to see how it feels. If it feels like Turf then I'll be mega surprised. I didn't think he'd be able to do it!

Daaaaaaamn I had no idea about the Game Night - was playing Street Fighter IV all night...

I'll make sure to watch it though!

No way. That's pretty bad ass right there.

 

[FourDoor]

Here is my contribution to Sandbox Forging. I started with Voc's Canvas map and then moved all of the default objects down to the Crypt. And since I like organization, I stacked all of the similar objects together. This took way longer than I thought. Thanks to Alkaline for the little bit of help at the end. There's a ton of spawn points on the default layout. :lol

Looked round the seem okay. O

nice job on turf 2....

but fix the sloped part by the downed scarab. its waaay to easy to get on top of the map as it is. playing last night with friends i kept getting pissed off as they'd randomly jump around up top and spring on me from above. one of em fell into what we termed a "heidi hole" (dont ask), a place in the map that you arent supposed to be able to get into but once your in, you're stuck. there was no way out, but suicide, and he was out of nades. we left the poor guy in there to bitch and moan about his "halo hell" he was in to teach him a lesson in playing maps properly!


the new maps are amazing. orbital and assembly are gorgeous, and sandbox is HUGE.

The area behind the two blocks?

I fixed it last night with version 2 which you can find here:

http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=68285306

I'm pretty sure the only way to get into a "hole" now is to intentionally grenade jump into one.

And I ran into the item limit so I hope your friends have extra grenades when they fall in :lol

 

[FourDoor]

Awesome, man. I was thinking about starting a crypt map, began to move the objects down, quickly gave up in hopes that someone would do it for me.

Actually thats how I started last night too. I started looking for canvas maps online and couldn't find one for the Crypt (forgehub was down last night too). A group of us were kicking around the idea of remaking foundation but quickly gave up after it turned into chaos with people trying to move all of the default objects down to the Crypt all at once. :lol

So after some dinner, I logged back on and decided it would be a good investment to move the objects in an organized way on my own since space is limited down there. That plus I'll leave the remakes and map building to the guys that actually know what they're doing.

 

[Kibbles]

I watched the stream, apparently someone thought I was a pro :lol Ace is sort of common, sorry that the pro couldn't come up with something better. Those games went by so fast and there were so many people, I don't think it would've mattered if a pro was actually in the match. If the MLG community really wants me to change my name, file reports so I can change it. I'm not paying $10 just to change my gamertag just because some other kid has something similar to it.

It's a shame forgehub is down, I'd really like to see what people have come up with. It's back up! I'm a bit disappointed Bungie took down the forge files forum on Bnet...

Botolf, I demand an update on Botolf's Gephyrophobia remake. And I'd love to help now that I've got Mythic.

I have not been blessed with a code as of yet <), so I'll have to wait for a little bit (I'm not about to endorse Microsoft's "Tard Edition", so my hopes rest on the marketplace).

Help accepted though, thanks

not that one. hmm, how to explain. its "near" that. if you continue down from there towards the street level, immediately past the BR spawn, there is that one block in the corner of two buildings. from there you can hop over to a angled piece that allows you access to the top of the map where you can run and jump along the entire thing, and in the process, fall into many different "holes".

hope that explanation is a bit better :/

apologies if its already been fixed (since turf II)

I was in a party chat with 2 other people, and you were partied up with someone else IIRC, no biggie. I can't remember if it was the guy you were partied with or one of the randoms that was the Elite, but damn :lol

I don't think we lost THAT bad (like 50-39 or something?), but I don't think one of your guys was playing the first few deaths either, sooo >_>. I love SWAT, but it does seem to come up an awful lot in Mythic. Elites don't seem to make as much as a different in SWAT on Orbital since it's mostly straight lines, but on Assembly with all kinds of verticality and corners it's a bitch.

I suggest people add a picture as part of a file set so you can see an overview of what it looks like before downloading (or not). I did that for Sandstorm, FWIW; it's the "linked" pic below the map download option.

Agree. I also specified what gametypes I had the map set up for, though I suppose if you get all of them up and running, you won't need to.

Good to see I wasn't the only one. Visiting San Fransisco, looking at skyscrapers, and searching for handholds in order to scale to the top is memorable.
Same thing with Gears of War 2. I would be constantly analyzing my surroundings for cover, whether it be vending machines or random rocks.

 

[Havok]

Yeah, Mostly Mythic Customs night is saturday

Unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to make it, but I'd really appreciate for map feedback to be posted in the thread here, since these customs will likely be the first real games played on my map. I always worry that things I put in that are neat in theory completely break down in a real environment. Hopefully I can shirk some duties and get a few games in though.

Edit: Also, I would just like to complain that 20 Tubes in Forge on Sandbox is just not enough
