Sandbox Sandsation

[ITz SrOnGzIDe]

First: Thanks for taking a look at my map.
well...then let's start reading xD

About Sandsation:

I guess it's nearly said enough with the 2 words "Remake, Foundation"...
It really looks like the original one. It's a bit smaller because of the Object-Limit, but the gameplay is similar.
__________________

For those of you, who didn't play Halo 2 and therefore don't know the map:

- Foundation is a symmetrical, mid-sized map that takes place (now) on the main level of Sandbox.

- It's an open map, designed for FFA and Team gametypes. (Sandsation supports every gametype)
It plays best with 6 - 8 players.

- There are all kind of combats in this map. long-range from one end to the other, mid-range on the sidewalks or short-range in the rooms / bases.

- The weaponlayout isn't just BR & Sniper. There are much more different weapons, which makes the gameplay more interesting.

Random Dude asks:

Why did you forge another remake of Foundation from Halo 2?
We already got some...

and I answer:

Because I personally don't like the other Foundation remakes, so I thought about doing one by myself.
There are some things missing like interlocking and the look isn't right =)
If you like the others more, simply close this and don't post here please.

__________________


NOTES

- a little smaller than the original Foundation

- the 4 gravlifts are geomerged, looks better and they're indestructable

- every block/box/wall is interlocked, so no grenade will fall between something

- the centerstructure is geomerged into the ground, so you can shoot over it to the other side of the map

- Purple room: you can jump on these blocks, like in the original one.

V2 (UPDATE)

You could "rocket-grav-jump" out of the map.
I put some double walls into the air, so you can't jump oom any more.
AND even if you do it, WHAT the hell do you want out there xD

The 2 Versions


I made 2 versions of Sandsation.
One with all the original Weapons
and another one with Halo 3 weapons and equipment.

I'll make a new post with the two versions,
because I have several pictures with the weapon layout
from both map-variants and there are only 20 pictures allowed per post.

In my humble opinion this is the best Foundation remake I have seen to date.
You not only included the columns around the stairs(which I have not seen anyone else do on a reasonable mep) but also geomerged the grav lifts which is just really good forging. And I know how tedious it can be to interlock every object so it shows you put for a lot of effort. The halo 2 version was also a great idea.
ITz SrOnGzIDe I am very impressed with this you did an awesome job. Kudos

Thanks mate =)
Jeah I just wanted to have the old halo 2 feeling, and the few games I played on it had a really gooooood feeling^^ dualwielding the SMGs, annoy the enemies with the rockets and grenades...
WELL thanks I really invested MUCH time into this map (I guess you see it).
And i have to say...it turned out very well =)

lolz some constructive criticism about the one. you forgot 2 minor detail and 1 major one....the 2 minor details r where are the ghost and wathog...the major detail is the fusion coils...XD i love shotting the fusion coils when playing bruteshot and rockets on this map a bigger bang when the walk near it. XD

[Dak393]

too bad you hit the OLN the map is amazing good job keep forgeing!

[SufferedCoder]

I believe that this remake is the closest I've seen yet. Nice interlocking and attention to detail. I'm going to download this one and replace the other Foundation remake I got. Keep forging.

It is nice. I still think I can escape with those lifts though. I'll download and try right now. You owe me an e-cookie if I succeed.

Update: I win. Escaped. Picture sequence below.
