Re: Halo 2 map idea (with pic)

In Response To: Halo 2 map idea (with pic) (Covenant)

: I've been trying to come up with a good map idea for Halo 2 and made one in
: 3D Studio Max. Inspired by the Control Room, it is mirored so there are 2
: of them and there are some tunnels (kinda hard to see) that lead to the
: bridge and the base of the pyramids. Obviously all the weapons are from
: Halo but its more of a representation of what I thought should be where. I
: might be making more (after finals) :| and feedback is welcome.

: BTW you may need to drag the link into your browser's address bar or just
: copy/paste. Stupid geocities....

: [ Editor's note - link is now local. -lwu ]

Looks nice. Just a couple of questions/suggestions:

First, I agree with Warbow, make sure that the tunnels force you to go across the bridge, and, if the location of the plasma rifles is a dead end, then does it have to be so far down the tunnel? The time and danger of running down a long, dead-end tunnel doesn't really seem worth it for a plasma rifle.

Second,for this map to work it would HAVE to include the Banshee, especially for CTF. The thought of trying to mount an assault by running up the pyramid just seems impossible, especially if there aren't a lot of players and if the defending team respawns near their base.

Third, it's a little hard to tell from the 3DSMax image, but I think the map is completely symmetrical, right? For an outdoor (i.e. non-arena) map, that seems odd. Most (all?) of the Bungie-created multi-player outdoor maps are slightly assymetrical. The key to making them good is to have the two sides be tactically equivalent but not identical.

Anyway, these are just some thoughts/suggestion. I'd play it.
