Map Team?

red2kic · Post by **red2kic** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 4:26 am

As every day goes by, there are not a lot of new topics nor replies in this forum. I had decided to start a new topic.

As we all know it, there are many Halo teams for mapping, modelling, etc and we all also know that it take forever.. Well maybe not forever, but awhile for one person alone to complete his own map.

So then, why don't we make some sort of mapping team because not many people here know how to use the programs (such as myself) and listen to what we had for ideas (as long as it is good ones) then make those? It may help keeping everyone busy. What we really wanted is Halo-themed maps where it is worth to be downloaded and to be played, and not to be tossed aside with other dumb maps. Can we do it? Can we do it? Yes we can! So whatcha thinkin' 'bout that, eh?

good maps don't come out often because they take a long time to create. not only this but the team members do have lives outside of staring at a computer screen all day, and i'm one of them. if we make a big team like you're suggesting, i think more sucky maps will come out because:

1) less tightly knit of a group
2) everyone has to do something, and people will flake in large groups (they'll half-ass their work because they'll think someone will pick up the slack for them)
3) a lot of people SUCK at 3d (no offense but you don't want them to make maps)
4) if a lot of people are doing a bsp, it'll start looking slopy, because there will tend to not be a general theme or anything. besides, you don't need that many people doing a bsp

why form a team for people that don't know how to use these programs?

trust me everyone that's making good maps are busy enough. if the people who can't do this stuff need to keep busy, then GO PLAY HALO 2 OR GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. don't wait around for us...

you said,

"So then, why don't we make some sort of mapping team because not many people here know how to use the programs (such as myself) and listen to what we had for ideas (as long as it is good ones) then make those?" i hope you're not talking about making a team for those peope

No, not for those people. We take the credit because we created it, but they just happen to have good idea, you know? Yeah, I agreed, there is the world out and we all know it. By the way, I'm n00b tho so I don't know what bsp is and not exactly big group, just general like 5 to 7 people? Unless you think that is too much of a group. Beside I said those topic because I wanted to learn how to do it. And also it was like 5 in the morning so I was plain bored. Lol

hmmm i see. well, maybe you should start a topic on map ideas instead? or maybe a brainstorming group. what are the best aspects of all the maps? how can they be used to make a new map? etc etc etc. i like the idea of brainstorming groups.

Inside the xbox, eh? You would have to crack your xbox open, lol. I wouldn't know what it would look like if I played it, It would be dark, no doubt about it.

SnaFuBAR, yeah, that is good idea. Balanced maps, not overdoing it. Not a huge place either because even with 16 players, the huge maps won't be explored. You know what I mean? Well middle size map, for starter.

Well... Althought we already discussed this earlier, I have no skills right now, but I don't mind being on any team (including yours) although what happened, lol. Sure...

Few things for Inner Version of X-Box (FOR NOW)
--------------------------------------------------
*Four controller ports led lights
*A cooling fan that can send you to grinder aka doom"outside of the xbox"
*A green jewel light where you can look up and see "X-BOX"
*A bunch of blinking lights that occurs inside the xbox, for visual
*A middle circle led light for Eject.
*Put modchip in there too, for fun. "X3"
*A secret location where you can put your name on it as Created by:
*Try to make things evenly for red base and blue bases with weapons
*Vehicles included? Lol

EDIT::
*Few loose wires that sparks
*A small passage that lead you to teleporter where you can find a good sniping spot such top of the jewel, allow you to see the whole map?
