Prism Block is a Halo CE Prisoner map remake created by Adelyss and Deathtoll77. I originally had wanted to recreate Prisoner but what really got me started working on it was the fact Forgehub started a Remake contest and Deathtoll77 wanted to collab with me. We never did finish it in time for the end of the contest but only recently did we start working on it again and we finished it for everyone to enjoy.
To get the scale of the map perfect took me roughly a day of checking Halo CE and then putting a rough sketch of the layout in Halo 3. I used a stop watch to time how long it took to travel from point A to B and I also measured in spartan widths. Together these two ways brought me a almost perfect size. Some of the rooms were made a tad smaller and the height of the entire map was reduce due to the supplies we had to work with. This is almost a complete remake minus a little cover piece up in the sniper tower due to supplies again. Instead of ladders we put grav lifts behind halls where the ladders are supposed to be to act like a ladder. You simply run up to them and you get lifted up. The only one that is not hidden is the ground floor one, we would of put it under the map but once again...supplies and item limit.
The map weapon layout is the same, plus some added weapons to play with Halo 3. So all the original weapons you remember Prisoner by you'll have them. What we did though was add another Plasma Riffle added a Plasma Pistol on the Top middle catwalk and added 5 br's and one carbine around the map. The grenades AR, Snipers, Rocket, Power ups etc.. are all in their original place. To replace the health packs on the map we removed the one on the second floor but on the top floor one we replaced it with a regenerator.
The map took us roughly 4 months to create as we took a good month and a half break on it. It was really fun creating this map, there were times I would get angry and what not but in the end I really enjoyed the product me and deathtoll77 created.
This map is to be played with 3v3 teams or 6 person FFA tops unless you want a little crazy game filled with tons of AR spam.
