Sandbox COD4 Showdown

A Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Remake

So, lately I've been checking out the remakes of Halo:CE and Halo 2 maps, and I have enjoyed replaying some old favorites. I used to play COD4 a pretty good bit also, so I figured why not make a remake of a Call of Duty map. I thought it over, and chose Showdown mainly because I thought it would be the easiest to remake (other than Shipment XD). This remake is designed to play like a regular Halo map, so no COD gametype is required. I know that some parts of this map are not to scale and some things are missing (I hit the OLN limit) but I believe you will find that this is a fairly accurate remake. So to all those Call of Duty fans out there, enjoy!

Weapons
(# on map / respawn time / clips)
Battle Rifle: 6 / 10 / 2
Carbine: 2 / 30 / 2
Sniper: 1 / 120 / 2
Mauler: 2 / 60 / 1
Brute shot: 2 / 90 / 1
Plasma rifle: 2 / 60 / -
Needler: 1 / 90 / 1
Energy Sword: 1 / 150 / -

Plasma grenade: 8 / 10 / -
Frag grenade: 4 / 10 / -

Regenerator: 1 / 120 / -
Power drain: 1 / 120 / -

Now for some pics

Overview

Carbines spawn on the bridges, pair of stickies underneath

Power drain

Mauler tunnel

Outside the sword room

One of the staircases

Middle area, needler spawn

Other staircase

Regenerator spawns in dumpster

"Trees" ;P

Sniper spawn

Sword room

Brute shot spawns

Action shots
(note: I move the red and blue light to the middle because they were too bright when we were playing)

Nice catch!

I now fear the pink mist

B00M Headshot!

Sweet, this is one of my favorite maps from COD4. The aesthetics are decent, but you got the basic layout of the map, down, and it looks solid. Props for the statue too, but what about the big towers in the background?

this looks AMAZING. i am appalled.
you got everything right! down to that tricky statue. except.... the weapons.

there isnt swords in COD4 so why put them in there?
id suggest using UNSC guns around the whole map so it actually feels like COD4, guns and all.
This would be a lot better then using a carbine and being like wtf theres no guns that shoot green stuff in COD4.
if you wanted a perfect remake id suggest changing the weapons
the entire map looks exactly right (sept for the scale but who cares)

grats man. i will defenatly be playing this once i go over to my friends house!
i love it.
555/5

I must say it is awesome, but the sword room... eh. I already camped in there in COD4 but a SWORD. That is all :D.
4.8/5

I wish I could have added the towers (they would be purely aesthetic though) but I did reach the OLN limit.

Well, I see what you are saying about the weapons, but my thought was to create a Halo version of Showdown. Hence, Halo weapons and tactical jumps. After all, that's why we are playing Halo and not COD. I will consider having another version with COD rules and weapons, thanks for the idea.

And honestly, the sword on this map is not a big issue IMO. I provided plenty of weapons to counter it. And there are always stickies ;)
Thanks again guys! (and if you really think its a 5/5, you could rate the thread ;D but you dont have to)

Wow, this is very impressive! It looks just like the COD4 version, great work with the layout. The map looks very smooth and organized. I like the weapon placement and choice of weapons. I am glad you put in halo 3 weapons, if people complain about Halo 3 weapons they should just go play COD4 =P. One of the main reasons I enjoy halo is the amount of interesting unique weapons, not just assault rifles and snippers. Great map, I downloaded and can't wait to play. Even though I don't have COD4 this map looks incredible!!! A definite 5/5 and I rated your thread. Niiiiice....

PS: nice trees. Lol

Thanks! I hope it didn't come off like I was begging for a rating, just none of my maps ever get rated. Halo 3 and COD4 both have their pros and cons, I just liked Showdowns layout and wanted to recreate it for Halo gameplay. Like you said, you can always play COD4 if you want that kind of gameplay ;D

Oh yeah, and metal trees FTW!

I have never seen a showdown remake, and its one of my favorite maps in Cod 4,m so im very happy ou made one. And by looking at the pics it looks like a good remake, as well as a good halo 3 map to play on. 9/10 Great job keep it up! =)

Damn I've been waiting for someone to remake this and I'm happy to see it was done perfectly. I'm not criticizing but maybe add some more detail to the statue...? Idk but I really cant complain with this. Great job man 5/5

Thanks for all the comments guys, I'm glad you all like it. As far as the aesthetics of the map go, I had to slack off on some areas (including the statue) because of the OLN limit. But thanks again for the comments and I'll be looking for changes I might can make for another version.
