Hey guys! As you know, the project was freezed since I was waiting news from Taco and..... I finally recieved a PM from him 5 minutes ago and.... bad news (well i was expecting that) He has stopped all his 3d related projects including the most ambitious (this one hehe

). Anyway I won't blame him, he surely had good reason to do so... He just could have tell earlier, this is a lot of wasted time...
So I officially wanted to say that I give up on this project...I want to thank everybody for their feedback, comments and encouragements.. the adventures stops here, sorry... wait.. wait a second this can't be possible, I have never given up with anything, I can't do that!

Let's talk seriously! Now I am like at the begining: alone with my 3d model... So, as I still don't have any knowledge of HEK/3DsMax/texturing and all that, I'm looking again for someone with great talent and experience and knowledge of all that and who knows how to portal (as this map will absolutly need a good "portalation") and of course, who's motivated and who feels capable of handling the huge work needed and who's trustable and who's perfect

... no seriously, please don't come and say I can do that if you feel unsure, because, you know, this map is like my little baby, I've now spent so much time on it... So from now, those interested can manifest themselves here (or bye PM and email) and indicate what work they've done before or show some stuff they've done...

I'm going to modifie some things in the map during the next few days and I'll have the definitive files ready to be sent to "the one" (If I find him or he finds me)...

Enough of wasted time. We must go forward NOW!

YO!

I can see your dedicated with your map. Been looking forward to it since September. Plus every post youve made is all about your map.
But why not learn HEK. Never a better time to learn

Ya try! It might be easier than you think

I'll see if I can find anyone for you!

Men you cna't imagine how much time it takes to learn a program when it's not in your natal language (english)... this is the main problem.. if it was in french, I would had do that.. but anyway I'm short in time so it maybe posible for me to learn but it's more appropriate I find someone.

I could do it, I was on the GTA-Halo Team (Project Lead). You can see our unfinished work at the website (I'll link you below). We stopped due to the strict sealed world rules which didn't give us as much freedom to make a beautiful city like we wanted. But I've been using 3ds max since 5 and have exp. in 6 + 7 also. I can animate (FP Anims. especially) and can model pretty well. I know the HEK in and out. I can use Guerilla like a charm and I know how to work with Sapien's more un-used features a lot of people don't. I'm up to it, since I don't have anything right now to work on. PM me or send me an Instant Message at BXStunt163 on AIM or spartan_sniper@hotmail.com on MSN Messenger. I'd be glad to help you with a nice map like this and I surely don't want to see it in the recycle bin, lol. Anyway, here's the link to the GTA-Halo site (won't be updated anymore).

Tell me if you want me onboard, I'll be waiting.

Thank you very much for your help and support St.Louis Rams fan.
This is the reply, I made to the message above on gearbox forums:

Hey man! you seems to be the man coming from nowhere (first post) but maybe you're the saviour of the situation... however I couldn't look at the pictures on your site (broken links)... but nevermind, I had 2 more propositions (by email/PM) and I am examinating all this at the moment... So let's wait a litlle bit more (one or 2 days) until I take my decision... In the mean time I'll have the moddel reworked and ready to be sent to THE MAN.
Sorry If I seem to be hesitant in front of such a positive candidature but even if I wanted to work with you now, I couldn't send you the map right now as it will only be ready in one or two days.

Thank you very very much for your proposition, I'll keep you informed.

YO

Hey guys! Just this little post to let you know that I just sent a mail to excalibur telling him he was The Man!

I'm just finishing some corections on the model and will be sending him the files in 1 or 2 days.

So finally (thanks to him) things are going to go forward!

YO!

Yoyorast..... If you get this in game and finish it, you will no longer be called just yoyorast. You will be called Legendary Yoyorast

I can not wait for this map! This looks like it will be a map of the ages!

I will be posting an update tomorow with some new stuff I am sure you will like and a good surprise for those who were used to snipe in wartorn cove... but shut... let's wait until tomorow... and tomorow I will put the model in excalibur hands and I'll wish him good luck and courage cause he's going to need some... this map is really becoming technicaly very complexe.. I hope you'll be able to portal it as nobody ever portaled a map excalibur...

Well that's all for now.

Hi everybody, as I said yesterday, here is a little updtate with some renders of the main new things:

note: (the little entrances of corridors are going to be scaled up a little bit to allow access to the master chief who's going to be a little bigger than he usually appear on the renders) :p Iknow it's not clear sorry. :crazy:

the beach base has been redesigned (maybe you won't notice but it's thiner, more simple and more cool

2 little entrance to get up there without making you kill by a hog passing in the middle... you can also reach a little bridge between the 2 cliffs.

And yes! this is the surprise I was talking about the other day for those who liked to snipe in wartorn cove, you recognise here the famous little tower that find a new life in Yoyorast Island.... Thanks to Pierre luc Auclair (Shwinnz, his site ) He has kindly offered me he little tower, thanks again man.

You can also see that the big round tunnel is now emerging from the ground..

New mountain on the right..

The next pictures are mostly destinated to Excalibur and show some important info for him to know (but you can also have a lokk at them):

Man, I assume you know the fact that there are 2 diferent ways to reach the flag: one way by hog, the other by feet ; you don't choose to go by feet or by hog, it depends on the place you're spawning...

When going by the way by feet, each team reach a corridor from its side and in in the middle of this coridors there's a teleporter that brings you to... the beach base.

Ps: I think these renders were the last I made and hope the next pics are ingame!! Go! excalibur! GO!

YO!
