Freaking. Awesome. But please, I hate seing ads in Halo maps, can you maybe make some photoshop ads, instead of putting real life pics into ads? They just look like shit when you do that. Make an ad for a portable VR gamingsystem, or a hover bike or something... kjsut my opinion bTW.

i think you need to add a civilian that drives around in a yellow hog. or make it soo you have solders running aroun the city....that way you cant just hide out in some building...........ahh i dont know it sounds like too much un needed work for you but it sure sounds cool!

thank you for the honest opinion with the human ads... it's a valid point. i like having them there as a reminder to make everything else as realistic as possible... it ups the standard. the random ai's sound like a difficult sequence.. maybe it would be a project after i get the initial map by itself out. but being a city map, there will be custom (possible yellow) civilian hogs here and there that were left behind in the evacuation, for cruising in style

Cool idea, but maybe not AI's... you know what I'm thinking? Yup. Animated map people. Make a model of person and have em walking around in an animation loop. You could make it have no collision geometry so that it doesn't screw up people's driving or what not.

You know what I ought to do? Work on making this old idea of mine into reality (not this one, a different one). I just need a freaking camera, cus I can't remember what the old palce looks like! But seriously, if I could pull it off, it would be one sweet map! Me and some friends used to play 'guns' there back in our earlier days. 'Guns' was when we just cut out some old boards into the shape of guns and went around killing each other lol.

Not actual killing, just pretend, I'm still amazed about how strtegically fair the place is! And it's a real place! The place is completely randomly made, it's not a specially set up paintball course or none of that either. Speaking of which, this new place would be pretty sweet to play on to!

Not trying to hijack this thread or anything BTW, just some general speculation...

well i wish i had halo pc..my com sucks and it wont work on it. and if i did this whoud be the first map id download!

i think you can also put a cool secret thing somewhere in the map......like a secret ladder leading to the tallest building! and on the top put a cool modded sniper with a 40x zoom!

sorry im just full of ideas but i cant make them myself.

Nice! I like the building jump idea, and the sewers look really good. I think they will add a good variant to the gametype...like they did in New Mombasa....'Cause you always have to consider the sewer when ur trying to find out where the guy with the flag is running. But your sewer system looks more intracite, with more forks, so a pursuing guy will have to choose which way to go, instead of knowing, like they did in NMC.

We're patient, take as long as you need to.

thanks for the replies, and thank you ignite for the kind comments. they went to my cold, dark, mapping heart. [gx] shadow... add me to AIM with theAndrewMatlock (i have no idea how aim works and am very confused by it), or MSN with [email protected] (the messenger service that i know and love).

Just wondering, but could you not include Halo2 weapons? They are extreamly overused.

EVIL-HOOD · Post by **EVIL-HOOD** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:05 am

Make a rock you can throw at people, barely hurts but stuns.

That would be so effective/primitive.

lol

Very Kool but maybe u should resize the houses on omaha beach behind the bunkers and, maybe consider a lighter texture, more beach looking
Another thing...
GET RID OF THE Fn ADS. They make the level cheesy and are not needed. If you need to reduce the lag, put some decently small grafiti, and a couple posters,small, on the arena thing. If you want ads put them inside.

dr. funk · Post by **dr. funk** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 9:15 am

ads are in cities. this is a city. the most abundant thing in cities other than road, concrete, or metal, is probably advertisement. we live in a consumer culture... ads are EVERYWHERE. next time anyone goes downtown to a metropolitan city (toronto in my case), count just how many ads you see of any kind. it will be in the thousands.

keep the ads. i live near nyc, and in the city, you cannot walk a foot without seeing an ad
