A serious question for a H4 map; it hurts my brain

I had the greatest idea for the most original Halo 4map ever (probably not, but I just got done watching Apollo 18 so i’m pretty insane right now). Anyways, how can I get this image in my head on the screen??? I mean, i’m not BAD at drawing, but i’m not good at drawing what I see in my head. Can somebody help me??? I seem crazy I know, but i’m pretty f;d up over it right now.

Can you describe the map?

> Can you describe the map?

I’ll try…well, all I see is this one image so far, But, it’s like a curved/slanted structure in the front. It looks like a bone maybe, a really big one. It kid of reminds me of this, but ever so slightly. It looks like a desert/wasteland like area. Sorry, i’m not very helpful.

Should I try to draw it? I’m not very good…

You should attempt to draw it so we can get the basic feeling of the map

Okay, i’ll try. Will take me awhile though, and sorry that i’m such a bother, just really errr…“insane” right now.

No problem at all! :wink:

lol, I see what you did thar.

So far I’m picking up:

A map similar to<mark>rust,</mark> but with a forerunner/alien structure.

Actually, yes! That’s what I thought too! But, it’s not multi-level like rust, it’s one building, that looks like it’s the ribcage or welded bones of some animal, with crud for walls (crud/crust/dirt, same thing). The walls remind me of Guadosalam from FFX, with these green lights that have some sort of tar or wood holding it in. There are three door on each side, and the building itself is rectangular. In the front, one very long “bone” stretches down from the roof, in a sort of 30-50 degree angle. Then there are 2 on each side of it, farther up this "rectangle, about 5 feet, and they are shorter, but most likely 90 degree. Then there’s 2 more after the previous two, shorter, and definitely 110-170. The inside of the building is a small, circular platform in the middle, which would have a power weapon floating on it. It is similar to the tar windows, but blue. Light blue. And it glows; as do the window. In the back of the building is one more door, with 3 windows on both sides. The rectangle shape has rounded edges. and looking from a birds eye view, appears like an oval. It sides beside a cliff, with the back facing it. The cliff is probably a couple hundred feet (maybe not, just guessing) and has two ramps of stone going down each side. They go slightly under the building and form a cave, but it’s only a mere hallway. The edge of the cliff behind the building has some sort of spikes sticking out, they sort of look like skinny saber teeth. But are very large. To the bottom left of the map is blue “base”, behind a small barrier of rock, which has a cave through it (not very big at all), and is asymmetric with red base in a way, but red bases barrier is cut short on the far north side, as it has a sort of “cut” or, I guess you could say “canyon” (though it’s only about 10 feet long) going through it. Imagine the one rock on the beach on Tempest, behind the left base. It has a rock similar to that on the other side of this canyon, though the trees must be dead- ha.

Just thought, the soil looks similar to Mushroom rock road. So do the walls of rock.

From what you are describing I kind of got a hint of the Utapau map from Battlefront 2, with a mixture of Rust from MW2.

Very similar to the building!

K, here’s the sketch I did, birds eye view… http://s17.postimage.org/a5h2wam7z/2012_01_28_23_58_35_827.jpg

Ah, I see, maybe the map could be inside of a canyon, with a covenant like spire from halo wars in the center, waterfalls and pools, maybe on the Halo ring?

Actually I pictured it as a smaller map…no bigger than Snowbound. Although a waterfall and a pond would look cool, if it was like the liquid on the level Keyes in Halo: CE :smiley:

I can try to sketch this better later, if you’d like.

Burial Mound
