Many of you at the Halo Maps forum may know me. Some of you are also thinking, "Who gives a crap?" Anyway I am also here to announce a WIP of a map I'm making called Odyssey. Don't even give me that tl;dr bullcrap
Details:
I searched on Halomaps and here and I didn't see any map called Odyssey.Its just an idea for now, but,I feel about ready to model it. Actually, I'm 95% sure I'm going to do this so lets just call it a WIP. Its a fairly small/medium map. I might just make covenant style bases (or just one in the center of the map) and/or make underground tunnels that burrow under the map. The brown area is above the map and is not in the gameplay... Go ahead and crit but just make it constructive...
I'm thinking about making a deep trench/hole in the middle of the river that will kill you, but I'm not sure because the river is more shallow then deep so you can cross it (most of it). Out in the lake/ocean below the map I might add the forerunner structure (where you kill the Prophet of Regret), seen on the Halo 2 level, Regret.
I will start very soon or as soon as I get a new graphics card. My last one got fried (nVidia GeFore 6200, it was okay but I needed/still need a better one anyway) and I'm stuck with my intergraded graphics card. Even Halo is telling me its not the best to use (although I can still run it). Gmax gets very laggy with not even that many polies made so to at least finish the map, I definately need a new one (idea's anybody?).
Help:...?
I really doubt I'll need help with this but you can ask me or I'll just ask for help here if I'm going to need it.
Possible Weapons:
Assault Rifle (1, each at both bases)
Battle Rifle [Fully working] (1, with 2 frag grenades)<---Maybe
Pistol or (1 each at both bases or you start with one)
Sniper Rifle (1 or 2, on hills in center of map)
Plasma Rifle (1 each at both bases)
Plasma Pistol (1 each at both bases, one underground)
Shotgun (1 underground)
Rocket Launcher (maybe, at the edge of the map, at the waterfall)
I need to balance the map out so I might not add rocket launcher but I'm almost sure I'm not taking out the shotgun. I might just add one sniper and make the two hills on the sides of the river connected and just make a bridge over the river, but if you fall off it you'll die.
Possible Vehicles:
Warthog (1 each at both bases)
Rocket Warthog (1 each at both bases)
Ghost (1 each at both bases)
I also need to balance the vehicles since the map isn't that large and I really doubt that I'm going to add rocket warthogs, but I'll see how the map turns out.
Pics/Screenshots:
This is just a basic idea, and my painting skills in paint isn't the 100% the greatest nor is it the perfect idea of how it's going to look, because you can obviously tell each side isn't very balanced. This layout design is subject to change and is not the final:
Same with the base layout design:

Yeah, will start to model as soon as I get a new gfx card + 3ds Max.
