(WIP) Boarding Action

[Chronos]

Update: Map is going to get a new look, the stuff bellow is going to change.

Hello all,

I'm Chronos, new to the editing scene

I've made a map or 2 for Halo Custom edition, purely to see how everything works.. Must say, it's pretty neat!


So I've been reading posts here for quite a while now.. Seeing some people are porting maps over from Halo PC, referring to Lightning's Bloodgulch map (Nice btw!), I thought I'd join the fun!
Well.. I'm not that good at modeling, not at all to be completely honest, but you've gotta start some way!
But I hope through practice I'll get better, so to me, a good way to start off is by porting a map from PC to H2V.

Like the title says I'm trying to bring over Boarding Action.
Here's a , sorry for the size, picture of it in max.


I don't have much free time at the moment, so it's impossible to continue working on it for the time being. As you can see, the teleporter entries are still there in the picture however, I deleted those (polygons? faces ?) yesterday.

If you guys could kindly give me some guidelines on how to make this into a successful port, even if it is going to be my first map.

Thanks,
Chronos

I never really liked Boarding Action that much but if you are going to change it a bit how about removing the teleporters and replacing them with gravity lifts, lol will be fun seeing people flying to the other side.

I like the gravity lift instead of teleporters idea.:o

I think its stupid to bring Halo 1 maps over to Halo 2 unless they are completley re-done like the new wizard & longest and soon hangemhigh / derelict.

Bloodgulch is over played...

Give him a shot, guys. How about changing the theme of the map? That's pretty much what Bungie did when they remade Hang Em' High and Derelict. Change the model up a bit, go for some good gameplay changes. Whatever you do, don't make this map the same as Halo CE, because no one's going to play it

I've been thinking the exact same thing, should be wonderfull to snipe someone who's got the flag, flying from the fifth level to the other side!

You've got a point there.. I'll try to think of some changes.. and i'll model it up next week !

Perhaps make it Forerunner themed; structures built into the sides of a cliff?

[PTS]

Is that even possible having mancannons replace the portals? Are the gravity lifts strong enough to carry someone over each side of Boarding Action?

If so, that would be an absolutely fantastic idea! I was hoping they made a Halo 3 Boarding Action remake but I would love to see it in Halo 2 Vista.

Good luck!

Or you could just make it Covenent themed, and use two Covenant ships. The curves and shapes would look sweet.

Don't know man.. Perhaps we can adjust the 'power' of the gravity lifts in Guerrilla..?
