its obviously a remake of the halo 1 level.

and it has really good textures since its only he default textures.

but ill agree with you the lighting can be approved but seriously dont be so mean.

edit: he accidentally said halo 2.

I was hoping someone would remake a Halo map! Looks great!

Now somebody just needs to remake Lockout.

Hey RobinWilliams,

this is by far better than your last map you've submitted! I've played this map quiet a few times and its recognition factor is great!

I also like that you've changed some things to make them more sb like. As for example the way to get up to the sniping position is a ramp now so that it's easier reacheable at sb's movement speed. Also I like that you can climb the middle part where the rocket shell is on.

All in all I'd say its a pretty solid remake of the map.

Some things however do still seem a little edgy, and some of the lighting is a little harsh for my taste, but as already mentioned a good remake.

Ill give you 4 stars

Thanks. Just a quick clarification, what do you exactly mean by harsh lighting and where do you find the map most edgy?

This always happens.. I play a map on here that looks a lot like Halo only to find that it's actually a remake of a Halo level lol. I was going to give points for creativity but I guess I can't..

I'm not sure that this map is ideal for Sauer gameplay. The bases are winding and almost random, the landscape is basic and boring, and the long rock in the middle is really quite pointless. I don't like that the insides of the buildings look identical everywhere. There's been no effort to texture the insides creatively or so that one part is well-defined from another.
As said the landscape is pretty basic. In many parts you've done little heightmapping so it looks fake. For example, look at those sniperholes in the rock you get to through the large ramp. It's almost a perfect box in there, even though the rock isn't supposed to be so perfect.

The lighting is also really basic. You might tone down the main sunlight in terms of color so it isn't so 'harsh'. I guess since it's a daytime map you can't go in-depth with the lighting unless you put up lamp posts (but then, why would they be on during the day?). Still you could do more work there.

I realize this is a remake map, but I'll say what I always say about remake maps: They don't need to be verbatim copies of the original. You can throw in your own ideas and create it perhaps entirely differently. You could remove useless or ugly things and put in better parts.

So.. This is a decent remake, but I still have to give it 2/5. It could have a lot more work and love put into it.

The bases really are the opposite of random. I must disagree with you completely on that point. Also, the rock in the middle does serve a few purposes. Firstly it hinders simple sniping people off each other's bases. Secondly, it is the only climbable way to the quaddamage if you are playing ffa. (I know nobody plays ffa anymore but just because) However it seems I'm getting a general sense that the textures need more improvement. I believe blending the grass with a dirt/worndown texture is ideal. What would you personally put in the bases to make them look more loved? I will have you know I did absolutely NO heightmapping. I know the rock face you are referring to and on a second glance I must agree. Now the lighting seems to be a conundrum. Some say its too bright, some say its too dark. Mixed messages there. What is the number one thing in your opinion to make the lighting more dynamic? (Try to be specific) Kretren you are my biggest critic and I respect your opinion. So please give me some more advice and we'll take it from there. Thanks.

Overall, the map appears to be a faithful remake of the original. The only criticisms I have are of the somewhat jagged edges on the cliff ramp and on the sides of the river. You may just want to create a slight slope along the the river edges so that the river looks a bit more natural. The cliff path could also use a bit of rounding on the outside edge so that it fits more naturally with the rock face. Just the tiniest bit would be necessary to achieve that effect.

I noticed those and they are underway in repair.
