[WIP] Remnant (working title)

As my 2,000th post here on Modacity, I'd like to announce my first map in nearly three years.

Remnant is a spiritual successor to Separated. As such, it will feature the new and much improved "Draco II", two opposing beam towers, and just generally be set on a chunk of the destroyed Installation 04.

To finish this project, I'm going to admit my own inabilities here at the beginning and request all the help I can get. It is my intention to do all the tagging and designing, but I'd like help with the actual terrain modeling and Forerunner structure building... and texturing... and UVing... and I think that's it.

This is my basic layout for Remnant:



Note the primary features include:
- The edge of Installation 04
- A layer of the framing pieces seen in Halo 3
- Two beam emitters (maybe to scale?)
- A tunnel a la the tank tunnels in AotCR (not to scale)
- Some cliffs
- The Dracos (not to scale)
- A river

I hope to make the map quite long, but not Hugeass or Coldsnap-sized, just big enough to fit the Dracos.

I'm recruiting people now to help out, so if you're interested, let me know.

Looks awesome! I'd love to help in anyway I can!

Definitely an interesting concept. I'd be happy to help, but I'm somewhat busy at the moment, as you know. :/

Why dont you change the name to Remnants

- There is already a map called Remnants.
- This is one solid piece.

MILES?
And you say this isn't going to be the size of Coldsnap?
Coldsnap's flags are ~3 km from each other. That's about 2 miles.

Really all anyone is going to want to do is fly the new Draco around.

I can help you by modeling forerunner structures or creating concept images, but I think you'd really be better off if you made the entire maparound the idea of people using the Draco and nothing else, because that's what's going to happen.

I think you should pick some kind of fighter aircraft that teammates could assist their team's Draco in, (Like the ones you had in that asis map you stopped making) and then make a gametype where you can't hold the flag and drive a vehicle (while riding passenger still works,) and then have people use the Dracos as the way to cap between two floating platforms with tons of interesting forerunner structures punctuating the airspace in between. Tbh.

I think you should put a Firefly in the hangar bay. :saddowns:

I said 1-2 miles, and it'll probably be closer to 1.

@Cagerinn, I'll have to see them, thanks for the offer.

@Mass: I was thinking Wasps might make for good support vehicle, but maybe if anyone has a Hornet to spare?

@English: See above.
