HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I have been working on this for some time now. It's basically a map called Valkryie, which contains a good push to the Halo Engine while retaining the quality and essentials to make a map a Halo map.

I'm putting much time into first working out the gameplay for the map, then working strongly on the lighting. A good contrast between light and dark allows for some beauty I'd say.

Like I said over at GBX great stuff.

woah! thats looks sweet! ill definatly download when it comes out. i like that little cave thing to the other side or whatever.

Some texture/shader modifications, higher res bumping.

wow that so impressive! keep up the good work!

Very nice, tunnels still look like "rock" more than dirt/mud.

Thanks!

I guess I could cubemap the "mud" a bit to make it more muddy looking!

make it a little more "muddish" look? lol

I edited some things.

Very nice, the rocks look less hard and more soft so that's an improvement. The lightning is phenomenal, as well as the underground pit.

ya, i like the holes in the cieling and the water in the pit. the lights are also a nice addition

Thank you! Seems I finally got the effect right!

Simply amazing. This map really represents a different possibility of what the Halo game could have been like. Can't wait until the release.

Thank you! Indeed, this game is capable of so much, I really don't know why Bungie didn't use it all : P

I think its because Bungie is a bunch of lazy asses. (keke, jk =p)

On Topic: Great work so far, can't wait to see more and more =)...

Good Job!

Backpack Weapons Mod added!

Like I said over at GBX, great stuff, love the backpack usage.

ahhh.... that looks so nice! i wish i could beta test. too bad i have a REALLY bad graphics card. It would look horrible on my computer.

EDIT: wow! that dirt stuff in the cave's bump mapping is looking really good.

all looks great. but i have a problem with this ladder. i dunno maybe a custom one? it looks a little out of place

Yea the ladder looks to bright and clean considering ur in a mud tunnel. A custom one would look alot better in my opinion. Maybe make it real old looking and dirty. Btw the map looks great.
