Detailed description

This map, now finally complete, is a spiritual successor to the map Narrows from Halo 3.
I took the fundamental gameplay I loved from that map and completely redesigned everything to not only fit the gameplay of Sauerbraten, but to also show a style of mapping that I had not gone into before.
This map plays best on team modes, but is also entertaining during large free-for-all matches.
The rest is for you to experience.
Have fun! :D

*Update*-Reuploaded with reduced file size and no mac files.
*Update*-Reuploaded with improved lighting and other things.
*Update*-Released final version, now with further reduced file size and fixed all errors.

Nice. only thing i dont like is lighting on some places.. and the too glowy waterfall.
maybe lower a bit the waterfog.

a thing i also dont like are the particles on the jumppads... they are a bit annoying and hard for navigating.

overall nice map. layout seems to be fun. details are nice too. but the best architecture looks bad when it is bad lit

4/5

Alright, thanks for the comment :D
I updated the lighting, especially on the two sides of each base.
I lowered the waterfog just a tad, there are reasons for the fog being there.
I also changed the jumppad particles from 0 to 11 to get rid of the smoke, that alone causes visibility on the jumppad to be more than sufficient.
On top of that, I found a few errors in my geometry, which I also fixed.

Again thanks for the review, all i need to know now is how to reduce the filesize of this map while still reataining most of what it looks and plays like....

Re-uploading.... NOW! :)

I felt as if I was truly playing Halo when I tested your map. Very well done. The flow is nice and almost exactly the same as on the map on which it is based.

The only criticisms I have are of some out of place seeming textures and particle effects. Some of the wall/floor textures just feel as if they don't belong, such as the large clusters of identical tiles present in several locations.

The texture on the grates at the each side of the map with the flames in the middle don't have symmetry throughout the entire grate. It just looks a bit odd.

4/5 stars for now

BTW, did you make this map on Leopard?

Very nice map: I like everything of it, and looks flawless to me (although I've never played Halo).

clap clap clap. nice.

try a higher lightprecision (maybe up to 128)

you got 11 textures of lights.

demonmoooseguy | 2009-11-06 20:24

i set lightprecision to 72. :D
re-uploading...

i really like this kind of map, good job ;)

very nice but i think i found an error already

as you face the red base, on the right waterfall, there is a big error ontop, which is not found on the rest 3 of them

All this map really has is extreme use of particles, colorful "fair lights" that make it appeal to children, and "oooh, aaaah" geometric shapes that give the map some eye candy.

In fact, I think eye candy pretty much sums up this map.

Movement is awkward, the routes between the flags are not effective at all making scoring difficult, most of the slopes and ledges are over-sized making it slow and crowded when playing it.

really this map never had anything going for it other than saturated use of sweeteners (lights and particles) that mapping noobs just love to see.

I recommend that you consider the intent and layout of a map before you make it rather than throwing together some aesthetically appealing shapes.
