Description: This is my Pit remake from halo 3. It is very accurate to scale and has all the same sight lines. Put a lot of detail in to this and kept it as clean as i could to have the same look and feel to the map. Been forging a lot of remakes for awhile now and i have to say im very proud of this one and i know you all will love it to.

hey name is Al4n Old Sk00l! im a forger too, and i happen to stumble across this and look to see what this was about. I love classic map remakes because people make maps of ones i like and the ones i never played on before.
You sir have a nice remake here, beautiful, outstanding! its like the one in Halo 3,
nice job everything looks very accurate. When i downloaded both your maps i did see only 2 problems.
The Pit variant has way too many ordinances. I would recommend hiding some of the weapons, possibly the Shotguns, Needlers, Energy Sword. That way the player isn’t overwhelmed with ordinance drops.
While checking the Gauntlet I noticed a piece missing by red base’s sniper platform. At first i thought i was a glitch, so i reload the map and sure enough, the piece was still missing. Maybe you weren’t paying attention and accidently deleted a piece. Easy mistake though, i do it all the time while forging.
Other than those reasons, I say this a really good map and I look forward to playing custom games with them!
Was trying to make The Pit in forge myself and failed miserably. I only dl’d the classic version, so I can’t comment on the other one.
One or two things I’d like to point out though;
On the Red side, at the top of the ramp leading to front-mid (facing the sword room) there is an uneven spot on the floor that you can sometimes get a bit hung up on. It’s smooth on the other side though.
The grav lifts that bring you to the top of the snipe towers shoot you way too high. Maybe adding a trait zone with majorly increased gravity above each one will keep the player from jumping too high. I was able to get a BR kill on one of my friends from the far snipe tower because of his massive hang time off the grav lift.
Other than that, it’s all good. My friends and I have a blast playing this in customs. I threw in a few different initial spawns and we play it 4-6 player ffa style.

O yea i think i remember you. you should hit me up some time on xbox live and well play

For the classic i have regular weapons placed on map and power ups and power weapons on initial such as rockets, sword, snipe, ov, and speed boost
you told me about XBconnect
