Again, I don't know when.. but I think Taco should have an idea, as he is putting the model in game.... well, I hope he is still on it.... I don't have any news from him since almost 2 weeks..

Maybe he's playing Halo 2 right now

If you get this in Halo CE, I bet Bungie would put this in Halo 2 some how! I read that in the manel that there would be downloads (MAPS!)! Keep working on this and don't give up!

This map looks sweeter by the minute, one question tho, Why do you have a little path going in the the like ramp ? (In the first picture where you have put a no go sign, why is there a path there?)

Great job, hope you get it into Halo CE soon

I'm not sure what path you're talking about but, if you're talking about the "path" from the roof of one of the towers to the roof of the central ramp (in yellow): well there is no path because the green cage prevent you to pass... but maybe you think you can enter inside the central ramp by entering inside the green cage but you can't... there's no path to go inside inside from there.... but only from inside the tower.
Anyway I think i'm gonna close what can seem to be an entrance on the green objects.

The glass thing was a good idea but I've noticed a few problems that you should fix before you release this map. First, you should probably make the glass this higher and wider so if somebody tried to go over it with a rocket and 400% shields, they still wont make it. Another thing is that you should either make the two flag platforms further apart and lower or have a wall between them because it'll be to easy for the enemy to snipe the other guys out.

btw good job on the map so far. hope to see more progress and maybe, even a download for the map soon. lol

If you read previous posts, this is already planned...

Another thing is that you should either make the two flag platforms further apart and lower or have a wall between them because it'll be to easy for the enemy to snipe the other guys out.

I'm not sure to understand well but this is the purpose to be in big danger when on top of the roofs' towers... You'll have to be in real "team coop" to make sure you can pick the flag or score "securly".

Anyway, I promessed Taco I wouldn't change the map anymore until we can test it in game and see what really doesn't work and need to be modified... BUT, as everyone knows, and certainly because of halo2 I'm not able to contact Taco lastly so the project is a bit freezed for the moment

Let's hope news from him soon... In the mean time For those interested,
here are some "old" unrealized pics (I was not happy with) of the "middle ramp" without the roof or transparent (just to see the interiors), you'll notice there is a wall inside the ramp separating the 2 ranges of jeep and at some place, a transparent and indestructable glass (when you'll get in your jeep you'll be able to see your enemy doing the same without being able to shoot him... hehe

YO!

great job! i've been watching this eversince u first posted over on gearbox and i like how you bring a new concept into the game other that buldings and mountains and spaceships! last i heard from taco he had finished sp on halo2 and was playing some mp maybe you should spam his email until he answers you i wish i oculd help but i can't afford the 3ds and what not oh well i guess ill just have to play the map. once again great job!

yoyorast · Post by **yoyorast** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 6:11 am

Thank you guys for your support... here is a copy of a post I made on gearbox forums :

looking good yoyorast but maybe you should find someone else to put it ingame if its taking so long to do im sure taco is really busy

I heard from nitro, he had been "punished" by his parents for too much halo2 playing, maybe he he's not able to touch is computer too...

I'll be waiting this entire week and then will think about what I'll do if I have no news from him until then. But I really hope he will appear cause:
-I began with him and want to finish with him
-after all these emails we've been exchanging he knows well the way to do it like "it has been meant to be played"...
-He is one of the best
-he had effecivly begun the work (if not more than that)
-He had his own ideas for the way to portal all this...
-He knows people (fromp h2 team that could helpe for textures and stuff)

Let hope he will show himself this week! Let's find him! Taco where are you?!

YO

Sweet, I can't wait to see this map! It will be like, hugely popular. Hope he gets it in soon, but for people that keep asking..

" It will be done when its done."

I thought Nitro was like, 24 ?

St. Louis Rams Fan · Post by **St. Louis Rams Fan** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 5:06 pm

Hope Taco gets back to work on this soon! Here are some ideas for the map when it is in game and ready to be tweaked: add maybe a custom sky, a sign of ppl who helped (like me!

just kidding but that would be cool), put some ghosts somewhere, MAYBE (if the fps is good) insert something that moves (the windmill in Zanzbair), water effects (like Zanzbair's), and if you have a boat only have ONE and put it where someone can't find it or get it easily. I hope these ideas help you!

Hey man! Don't know if we're takling about the same boat but if it was this one:
