Hey guys,
I have recreated a fantastic map from Counter Strike. I hope you enjoy it :slight_smile:
It is my first map that I have created in forge.

A short overview of the map: http://youtu.be/m82GEAn9_oY

Please tell me what you think about the map. What do you like? What can I improve and so on…

nice

Good job! I’d re work the stairs coming from t spawn (the spiral stairs on the way to the bombsite) the alcove should be just near the door and always gives a good place to hide when waiting for ct Rush

I still hate how freaking dark Forge is now with the dynamic lighting and every map being at sunset or morning…or in the case of the space one. Not making any sense as to where the light comes from…

Honestly I’d replace all stairs with ramps. I know it might go against the accuracy but it’ll be less taxing on the engine and give you more pieces to work with

Ok, thanks for your feedback :slight_smile:

So, now I have replaced the ramps with stairs and fixed some other issues. I’m testing it right now.
I will show you the “updated” version soon with screenshots or maybe some gameplay scenes.

Great !!!

Now you just need to make 300$ skins. :slight_smile:

Just for Info^^ If you want to download and play my map, please favourite me on Xbox Live and go to my shared files. I have also shared a gametype to play it like Counter Strike (Gametype: “One Bomb Assault CS”).

Have fun, see you online :wink:

Looking awesome.

I’m really liking it over all.

Might need to move some weapons around a bit but over all I like the feel.

I think you’ve got a good remake here.

+1 from me.

12

Thank you :slight_smile:

Yeah, I have to play some rounds to balance this… a 5v5 would be nice, to see how it works… gameplay, weapons at start, weapon resawn and so on.

Hy,
The work on the map dust2 has been finished now. So I will summarize it, to show you what you’re dealing with…

The map
I have recreated the map dust2 from Counter Strike in Halo MCC (Halo 2 Anniversary Forge).
It will be like you are on the map from dust2 but in Halo ;).
I have implemented the 2 Bomb spots (A and B), A long, A short, Middle, House (Cattas), T and CT Spawn,… all things you remember from Counter Strike.

Map overview: http://youtu.be/11z7nPF0oQ4

The Weapons
Each player starts with a pistol (Magnum). You can pick up a weapon in your base (Battle Rifle, Assault Rifle, (Suppressed) SMG and Magnum).

Why are these weapons only in the base?
Because, in CS you can buy your weapons only in your base and I tried to do the same here. You can get a weapon in your base.

There are 3 “power” weapons. 2 Sniper Rifles and 1 Shotgun. The Sniper Rifles are placed near each base.
The shotgun is placed somewhere in the middle of the map so everyone could get it. Everyone have to run the same distance to this weapon.

The gameplay
I have modified the gametype “One Bomb Assault” and “Blast Resort”. I don’t know which gametype will be better but both are the best to play it like Counter Strike. In my opinion “Blast Resort” fits better ;). You have 5 Minutes for each Round.

The bomb arm and disarm time is 10 Seconds and the bomb will be explode after 30 seconds (1 Minute is too long). If a team gets 3 Points, the game is over and this team has won the game. You can get a point if your bomb explodes or you have eliminated the enemy team.

You have a shield at the beginning of each round, but be careful… your shield don’t recharge and you have only one life per round!
I have also placed some warthogs (2 civil and 1 classic) and some fuel tanks nearby. So they will be explode ;).
And no, you can’t drive them (Remember, it should be like Counter Strike).

Support
If you like my recreation of the map dust2, please let me know and support me and the map. It would be so fantastic to play this map online.
Please download the map, share the map and play the map :slight_smile:

Awhh yeahhh. Anybody down to play this? I don’t ever have enough friends online to play customs.

15

Yeah, it would be great to play this together^^

16

Hey if you ever want to test the map I would be happy to join you in customs. Also do you have the map in your fileshare? Great job by the way.

Thanks^^
I can really need some help to test the map correctly. Most important will be the gameplay at the moment.
Yes the map is in my fileshare and my updated gametype “blast resort_cs” too.

Please have a look on my new project “nuke” here in the forum too :wink:

I have updated the “weaponsystem”. Now each player starts with a magnum. In your base you can pick up a BR, an AR or a SMG. And near the bases there is a Sniper Rifle and the Shotgun is somewhere on the map.

Thank you all for your feedback :slight_smile:

19

This sounds like a lot of fun! I’ll be sure to download this when 343 fixes file shares :slight_smile:

All you need now is a game type to go with it…

swat health
br, smg, ar, sniper, pistol, shotty and grenades
1 life
2 min rounds
max team 5
2 bombs
Traditional spawns

then you have an epic map
