The Library

Bungie.net : Bungie Online : Halo 3 File Details

Based upon the legendary Halo CE level, this map plays remarkably well considering it's source material. Being that the original Library level was so open, it really doesn't lend itself well to multiplayer since it lacked cover. So I took the more common geometries found throughout the level and made it a bit more functional for multiplayer. Slide jumping is required to get to the top of the "legs" as the top half of the original Library's were also unwalkable. You may experience some lag around the man cannons due to a ridiculous amount of interlocking. I would have much rather used gravlifts but they just wouldn't work. And in case anyone is still wondering yes, this map is not only laughably over budget but also at the item limit. And now, onto the details.

Supported gametypes are:

Slayer, Team Slayer, 4 Team Slayer
CTF Sinle/Multi
Oddball up to 4 teams
KOTH up to 4 teams
Territories, Land Grab, Flag Rally, and Conquest
Assault, Neutral, and 1 Bomb
Infection

This is EPIC! It looks and feels like The Library. Though it was my least favorite campaign level...but great job in replicating it! This looks quite fun to play on too. Great job! 4.5/5. Keep on Forging!

Never played Halo 1 b4 but it looks pretty good.

The platform pic is seriously sick, I bet KoTH would be chaos in there! Based on what I saw, only the platform seems to impress me. The other sections of the map just don't look as if the game play is interesting. Try changing some parts to make it more interesting.

Shouldn't this be in the competitive maps section?

Yes, this map does in fact look very great. Although I believe you have forgotten to post a link... the aesthetics are simply amazing. I like the different levels and the transitions between them. Looking forward to playing on it. 9/10 from pics. I'll let you know if my rating changes after playing.

Pennywiez · 01-15-2009

oh wow that acutally looks like the library but your missing the index lol.

anyways i have already said the map looks really good so i will say that your map has really good interlocking and geomerging but im just questioning how the gameplay is going to work out with 2 floors on ctf. although on team slayer, FFA, and king it would be pretty fun with 2 floors.

finally in the end i give it a 4.5/5 and i will see how it plays and then it may earn its 5

I agree with ShaddoBlade, in all aspects but 1. I give it a 9.5/10 from just the pics. You have most excellently recreated one of my least favorite levels from Halo 1. Congrats! (that is not meant to sound sarcastic, I'm serious)

Looks like a really good replica of the library...I have so many memories of that place...I gotta go back and beat that on legendary...only Halo: CE level I can't beat. =D 9/10 from the pics and I'll dl when I can and my rating may change after I play.
