Default Chiron DB-94 V2


Chiron DB-94 V2
Created by Speed e cake

Supported Gametypes:
Every gametype is supported; however best played with small Free-For-All Slayer, KoTH and Oddball parties. I don't recommend teams unless you're playing with honorable people since say in a game of oddball blue team has the ball, they go in one room and block all the tele's with their body, red team has no acces to the room so they can't kill the ball holder. Sucks, I know, but there is no way to fix it without destroying the charm of Chiron.

Map Description
This map is a re-make / spiritual successor to Chiron TL-34 from Halo CE. It only has 5 out of 10 rooms. For those who don't know or haven't played Halo CE, Chiron TL-34 was a close quarters map that was ten different rooms connected by 29 different tele-porters. The only changes are I added a few weapons to tailor the map more towards Halo 3 gameplay since Halo CE the melee was useless but now it's godly, also instead of health packs I replaced them with a bubble shield and regenerator.

UPDATE: With some critisisms of others and my own I finally made a 2nd versoin of Chiron DB 94, some updates include:

- Making floors and roofs smoother and more aesythetically pleasing.

- Weapons placement has been changed for the better such as: reduced number of "sticky grenades", moved Mauler (seriously what was I thinking, the mauler and the shotgun were in the same room!), BR and Plasma Pistol, added a spiker, slightly moved rockets and plasma grenades from edges so you can just jump up close to the and hold RB to pick them up, I removed the Magnum and a AR and I changed the Max. run times for every weapon.

- Plasma Rifle and Regenorator room has been re-done and this time you can't stand on Window Panels and camp.

- I placed Reciver Nodes inside Sender Nodes to make every Teleporter look identical (not a big change but it helps make Chiron look and feel like Chiron (Halo CE owners know what I'm talking about)).

- Added a little fun twist for Infection: everyone at the start of a game is split up, the humans inicially spawn in seperates rooms but the infected spawn in the top of the shotgun room.

New Weapon list:
x2 Spiker
x1 Mauler
x1 Shotgun
x2 Battle Rifles
x1 Brute Shot
x1 Assault Rifles
x1 Plasma Pistol
x2 Plasma Rifle
x2 SMG
x2 Frag Grenade
x2 Plasma Grenade
x1 Bubble Shield
x1 Regenerator
x1 Overshield

Hey man I have been looking for a remake of the old Halo CE map Chiron and this looks pretty good. I am definitely downloading and will be trying it out with my friends.

Oh damn, I just wrote a huge review kinda thing and accidently quit out of it and lost it all... So I will try retype it all but yeah...

Anyway, I really like that you've remade this map because it has somewhat of a cult following. Most people hate the original, most people don't love the original and a few people like it =]
I'm one of the few that like the map so I can't wait to check this map out.

Anyway to comment on the post itself. I really like the little over view picture you made in Paint. It's actually quite detailed for a MSP picture =P
The description is good and not drawn out or too short like some other descriptions. The screen shots look really good and show off the map quite well. I can see areas that I recognise from the original map in the screen shots.
The only thing I think is missing is a weapons list. I would really like to know what weapons you placed on the map compared to the weapons that are in the original map.

As for the map itself, I can't comment on game play (RRoD) but I assume it to be an intense game to play and very fast compared to the original. As you stated in the description, the melee in Halo:CE is much worse then the melee we have now.

The interlocking in this map looks pretty good but I have noticed a few issues with straightening that could be adjusted to make it look a little better, not that it matters at all. It's a very minor issue. One thing i am intrigued by is the staircases you have in the third picture. It looks quite facinating =P

To sum up, this map looks really good as a Forge map its self but as a remake it looks great! It looks very true to the original and could stand alone as good FFA close range map.

I am adding this map to my download que and can't wait to test it out. Well done =]
I can't wait to see more maps from you =D

One last thing, as I said in the first sentence I had already typed out a review and now re-doing it I went completely blank, reading all this over again I noticed it's kinda boring compared to what I first typed so pretend all this is incredibly entertaining =]

I know what it should look like, but I can only recognize a few things from the pics. I'll have to take a look it at it in a little to see if its really accurate. Thank you for attempting this, no matter how it is, I love Chiron. And what are yous talkin about!?!?! The Halo 1 melee was t3h s3x!
