Valhallan Fury (BETA)

LynnJynh9315 · 03-06-2008

It seems that time has come for me to post my first map. Quickly note that this map is still in BETA, so all suggestions and general feedback are welcomed.

The Download for this map can be found here.

I suppose I'll start out simple. This is a Valhalla map variant. It is actually the very first map I ever made. I started it about a month after Halo 3 released, but the map had an imbalance (a weapon I couldn't delete) and I decided to remake the map. I actually had to draw outlines of the map on scrap paper to remember where everything was- but I got it done.

Valhallan Fury has been made compatible to every gametype, but this is a BETA map and bugs could certainly exist. If you find any problems while playing on this map, please notify me in a post on this forum or the original Bungie.net forum.

To complete things, here are some pictures (embedded this time too):

Thank you for your responses. And again, all suggestions are welcome!

>>update: Sorry, had to learn how to embed images. How is this?<<

This Map post does not meet the standards. Please read this topic
on how to properly post maps. I am sure your map is good so please follow the guidelines so we can find out too!

Besides the fact that there are no embedded pics I think that this map is alrite. That turret in pic 5 looks a little out of place though. I would suggest rotating it so that it faces the base near it. Then the turret would come in handy especially if a guy is coming off from a man-cannon. And I don't think that grav-hammer would come into use that much. Overall the map is cool. =]

Okay.

I hope that clears up the issue of embedded images. Now to answer that question.

Why did I put the turret at an angle like that? Because, it is perfectly aligned so that the turret can be tilted to aim at either base. Its all about balance. I wanted it so that the weapon was in a neutral position.

As for the gravity hammer, you could be right. What would you suggest to replace it?? Maybe a sentinel beam?

I'm personally more interested in what you think of the sniper towers.

Beta should be used only for programming and writing, not for maps.
Just post it and get over it. Then fix it up and call it version 2.

theres nothin really that pops out at me about this map, it just seems like u added a few weapons and then a sniper tower on the pillars

I dunno...

The last screenshot shows me the middle part looks rather barren. And I saw alot of power weapons. Don't really like it.

I'm gonna give it a 5/10, because it is on an old map with limits, so at least you did some work.

It took you that long to create this?

Bugs? Did you rewrite the code Neo?

Fair enough. But I wasn't really trying to make a map that "popped" (as the other guy said), I was trying to improve the default Valhalla map- a map I really love.

This was only my first attempt at making a map in forge. I don't claim its wonderful. But surely you can agree its better than the default map.

BTW- whats wrong with the power weapons?? I hate games where everyone seems to use nothing but battle/assault rifles.

I've got some better (Foundry) maps- I'm just not quite finished on them yet.

Put two turrets in the middle. But somewhat but apart from each other. I put one buy a oine tree by the BR facing the man-cannon. The other one (screenshot # 5) I would rotate it so that it faces the other man-cannon, becuz it doesn't look like one for both man-cannons would be used effectively. =]
