Description:
This Halo 2 Vista map is a forerunner facility set in a snowy hole in the ground.

It supports all game types and vehicles (depending on the game type).

Hope you enjoy it!

PS. Special thanks to the H2Vista.net community for there excellent input (you know who you are :P...consequently if you don't, see a psychiatrist), without which this map would still be in a greatly incomplete state.

Video walk-around:Fraps = 10 fps = Dodgy driving D:

This is :awesome:, can't wait to play it.

:woop::ohsnap:

Very Nice FireScythe, Keep Up the good work.

Nice work! What happened to the conveyor idea for the side tunnel?

I left them out because I figured that it would balance out the speed of CTF by vehicle so you can't just rush the flag and have the game finish in a couple of minutes.

Wow, this is a really impressive map! If I could play Live! on XP I'd download this in a heartbeat. H2V map making is turning out some very impressive stuff. It seems like it's all Forerunner junk though... I wonder who's going to be the first one to make a truly creative map.

Wow..

Also, Fried, shut up. Human maps are actually easier to make than forerunner maps. It's jsut the lack of textures and interest in the style, when in comparison to forerunner.

You just gave me a very, very good reason to reinstall Vista and Halo 2.

I'm editing this to make it shorter, I just wish people would think outside of the box more. I don't think Human maps are any better than Forerunner, I wish people would use new and more creative gameplay ideas, and if possible themes that don't adhere to the Halo cliches. This map is still awesome.

Wow, this map is amazing! I'm speechless.

:pervert: oh yes yes great

Wow, way to edit out the part of your post that said "fuck you." Next time somebody -reps you maybe you should consider what you did wrong rather than -rep the person back out of spite? Also, I don't see you making maps, so how about you think outside the box, eh?

I edited that out because it was rude, and you were right about that. and I -repped you because you completely missed the point of what I said. For your information, not that it's any of your business, I'm learning the HEK right now, and I've already made a few maps that are too hideous for anyone to see. So as soon as I can, I will make unique maps. Shut the fuck up now, please.

EDIT: While I'm on this rant, way to go everybody for jumping all over me just because I didn't bandwagon and go LULZ MAP IS WIN TBH

I kind of have to agree. Even though this is the first H2V map from our community that is worthy of playing, it is missing a few things.

1. There is only one ramp up to each base from the ground floor. Add another way, or vehicle travel will become obsolete on this map.

2. The underpass in the middle offers no tactical advantages. Put a teleporter under the rocket tower that leads into the rocket tower.

3. There are only two ways into each base for a flag-carrier. Add another option. I would recommend doing something involving the towers on the outside wall of the arc, and one-way teleporters.

These are just my opinions on how to help improve an already high-quality map for the H2V community.

Looks nice ^^

Thanks for the feedback, i'll be keeping it all in mind for future maps :p. As for this one, its staying as it is. Also, FriedMetriod, the reason I did a forerunner map was because of limited resources available in the standard H2EK, I was intending on doing a medium sized human map but because there were no human textures to use at the time, and no possibility of doors, machines, etc. I decided to use what was available to me, and made this map.

I do have to agree with bandwagoning (not saying that you are of course) feel free to criticize the hell out of the map, im not going to get all pissy because someone doesn't like it.

nice work, I'll download it later today. :D

Everyone's taking me all wrong :(

I do like the map, and sorry for the thread getting shitted up

Despite how "great" this map is, it won't be played much if at all.

I had a server up for a little bit today, wasn't full too often lol. My internet sucks though.

Awesome map tbh, here's a mirror if you need one

Thanks, i've just uploaded it to halomaps, and will be putting both links on the first post.

Dude, I just watched your walkaround video again... Simply awesome map.

When is this custom maps problem going to get resolved??? (crickets chirping)

Awesome map FireScythe! the best user created map if seen so far.

now to find out how to get it to work.

Please please please put this into regular Ce :D

I wouldn't count on it if I were you.

i have a problem...i can't play this map...i put it in the smae folder where i put some others maps but i can't see this map when i try to open a server in LAN...why?

It takes some time for the game to pick up the map sometimes. Nobody knows why. look for it tomorrow, it'll probably be there.

I wish this was in CE D:

Looking back on this too, I find those green walls on the inside kinda displeasing :\

Otherwise its amazing.

freaking awsome map!!! I wish i could be as good as you man, but im still an ametur.


p.s. also i need help on how to light my maps with the h2 tool

I'm not able to play this map let alone host it on my dedicated server. Is anyone having the same problem?

As per a request from {XF}Lowsy i've updated my game and repackaged the map to see if it fixes the viewing problem:

http://files.filefront.com/posterity.../fileinfo.html

Well my server runs it, guess the game will too then...

Hey thanks for the update Fire. I can now host this map on my Gold account.

However, no matter what I try, the dedi server does not know the map exists. I've tried putting this file every place imaginable. But the playlist says 'invalid or map not found'.

Oh well. Maybe someday. Or maybe If I only run one instance. Vicky IM me if you see a solution to this. Thanks

EDIT: Vicky has come through again. I was not restarting the server after downloading the new map. So even though I put it in the proper spot, the server never saw it because it needed to be restarted (just the H2server that is. not the whole W2k3 server).

THANKS VICKY

Awsome. Thank you.

uh... isnt this a bad idea?

now there are two conflicting versions of the map, and poeple will not know which one is which when joining a server....

I have it running on my DEDICATED Server and people have been playing it all last night and today. Would like to see more people on but maybe soon. Hey everyone get on the :bandwagon: and join Posterity ingame.

I don't think that would be a problem, the 'old' version wasn't working for most people anyway. And in case you have the wrong version you'll find out soon enough.

I found three versions... only one worked.

The timestamps are:
9/8/2007 5:57PM :confused:
3/5/2008 6:??PM :confused:
3/5/2008 9:34PM :XD: <--it works!!!

Let me guess, those were the time and date when you downloaded and/or unpacked them :P

Probably.. And the last one was downloaded from meeeeeeeee

:)

Much love Lowsy, I'd been hunting that map down for awhile. Anyway, I thought that too about the download times but it didn't seem like it at the time...so maybe. Anyway, I now have the right map thanks to Lowsy and it is running on my server every so often. I want more maps from this community if there are any. I mean, you all have to have a few fun maps. For Example, Boing! map is so little, easy enough to make and is fun with the sniper rifle (i think so anyway). So what's up? I can host most anything you folks want so long as its reasonably fun (or atleast you think so).

:iiam:
Where are all the maps this group made?
:iiam:

edit: tight-lipped group... if they have maps they ain't sharin... lol, its just for fun ppl... share those maps that you worked on for hours
