Grunt Arena v4

[alcapone900]

That looks like a lot of fun. You should put in a couple battle rifles. You said you don't have any in the list of weapons.

In order to put powerups in the walls or other things (boxes, etc.) you first need to set the wall/box. Then you click "x" on the wall/box and set the spawn at start to no. Then change your respawn time to what you want, it is best to place markers around the box such as a wall on its side so you know where it will be because when you restart round you will know where the wall is. Restart round, find where the box is then spawn a power up. Now the hard part, you have to find where the edge of the box will be and hold the power up there, make sure that only half or less is sticking out or else you can grab it. then click start and save changes, end game and start it again. Now the power up will be placed in the wall/box. Also i know you can put weapons down normally but i just like the way they look on weapon holders =).

I've already tried to have Br's on the map but I wanted there to be magnums too. When i play tested the map with people when there where Br's, (they where replaced by the carbine) no one even grabbed the magnums because the Br's are way better than the magnum will ever be(in Halo 3). So i replaced them with carbine's to balance it out. Now i've found people actually use the magnum now and then. It actually isn't bad on this map, takes some practice though.

Sounds reasonable enough I suppose.. but what if maybe you just had 1 BR in the center of the map? Almost a power-weapon of sorts? Juz doesn't seem like Halo without the BR.. [i]know what I mean?

Do put some battle rifles in there, they practically make Halo.

Otherwise, I like it.

I find the easiest way is to mark with a shield door on the exact edge, then you just put half of it inside the shield door and half outside the shield door, makes it perfect 90% of the time

Do you have any links to versions 1 through 3?

Yea, when you say grunt arena, i think that every weapon is a weapon a grunt has been seen using in Campaign. I don't remember grunts using Magnums, or Carbines, much less a Flamethrower. Also, why isn't there a Plasma Pistol? THATS A GRUNT'S MAIN WEAPON 90% OF THE TIME. Just replace the Plaz rifles with Plaz Pistols. Otherwise, nice map.

That actually sounds like a good idea. Cause you are right, Halo is just not halo without the BR, Probably could replace the flamethrower with the BR. I'll have to test that out with v5.

Sadly no, but they actually weren't that good so your not missing much. I had to do quite a bit of testing to find a fair way to get this map to work out.

Yeh, I wanted to have mainly grunt themed weapons on the map but it was hard to make good gameplay with just those weapons so I had to mix in others. Then it turned out that most of the weapons weren't even Grunt weapons(only plasma rifle was) =[. I will try and do that on v5.

I never thought about using a shield door before. I should start trying that, thnx for the tip.

didn't need to go into that much detail, but thanks neway. and for weapon holders, i think only covenant weapons look good with them (like ur fuel rod cannon)
