Did 343 ever say anything about adding some sort of file browser? Having to look up people to get new maps is kinda ridiculous.

So is anyone that uses multiple grass planes noticing that when you save a map and then re-enter it, the grass planes are moved around? I haven't checked if they do it after the update, but it gets tiring having to reposition them, and them not even being flat.

I used enough Grass Planes to traverse the entire map. All the upspin ones shifted, and all the downspin ones remained stable.

I placed the center plane and immediately saved. It was perfect until i played in split screen, where it shifts. Back to single player and it's once again perfect.

The lines are made of bridge pieces which just show by a few pixels. Most of them vanish when playing split screen due to the shifting landscape.

So does anyone have an empty Sandtrap map they can share?

Originally built by an American university, this OTEC research platform was converted into a base of operations for the Militaires Sans Frontiers in 1974.

I had originally laid out 5-6 additional struts but unfortunately I hit the object limit so the whole project had to be scaled back. Still, I think it came out good. Not 100% finished but pretty close.

Funny enough this map is giving me Mother Base from Metal Gear Solid V kind of vibe haha, very nice!

i've been working on some stuff recently, but the absence of a file browser 2 months in has me worried if it'll be worth it or not. they've already lost the momentum from launch and the difficulty to discover new content is going to cripple the game's community. we had this exact same problem with halo 4 when they didn't launch with file shares.

Yeah, the file browser, Bungie Faves, Bnet downloads were great.

I spent a fair it of time trawling the site and Faves to download mostly silly maps to goof around on.
The people with modded or whatever they did to it maps were great too.
I remember downloading what was basically a platformer with many floating Elephants.

If anybody is looking for someone to test maps out and record fly-by's, I have a group of friends who are looking for fun maps in the Master Chief Collection and I would love to assist in getting them out to the public! My gamertag is shadow rckts and I'm also working on a couple maps myself so be on the lookout

Been working on putting together a forge guide for remakes over the past few weeks, and I've got one of the maps finalized and thought I should get some feedback before I start the rest. Not going to do this for 100+ maps and then realize I did something wrong. So here's a preview of Battle Creek from Halo CE. Background is a simple screencap of the loading screen.

Each square on the grid is equivalent to 1 forge unit in H2A. Center dot represents coordinates (0,0) for your starting point.

How far along is this project?

is there anyway I can get 1080p freecam screens from MCC onto my computer? I can use some photogrammetry software to make 3d scans of maps in that case:

Now you can.

How far along is this project?

Life caught up to me so I had to push it aside for a bit. All CE maps have been measured out so I just need to put the scaled grid over them, but H2-4 maps haven't been started yet. Classes should be easing up soon so I can get back to it.
