Good luck. I looks good so far. I can't wait to play it.

Jeah thank you =]
I thought that excavation wasn't "that" good too =/
so i made my own foundation variant =]
I'm keeping you updated...

It looks like you took your time to do this, and that is something to be proud of. However, if you want even more kudos, try geomerging those grav lifts. The tutorial to do so is found here. You have to geomerge the wall or whatever you're placing under the map differently, but it shouldn't be too difficult to do once you get everything under, as I have done this myself two separate times on one map on Sandbox. It will be worth it in the end, and people will praise you for it and maybe end up a little astonished :P

NOW that's what i call "help"^^
I will learn how to do that and it will look way better then =]
I would be astonished too xDDD

Which is really a shame because you said you've been working on this for a while.

It looks really neat though. But I can't really help much because I didn't play Halo 2 ^^

Assuming you're talking about me, you're wrong

Actually he has a chance to beat me before I finish it... see I have been in the process of getting a job as a lifeguard, getting certified, the whole shindig.

However there are many... many flaws I see with your map. Unfortunately, many of your dimensions are wrong. For starters, the ring that encompasses you map is too low. After actually popping in Halo 2 and getting exact dimensions, I realized you need approximately 3 wall heights to replicate the upper level. Secondly, your turret block is all wrong. It should look like a symmetrical pentagon, not a square. The middle area seems to hold the same issue that many other foundation remakes hold, it is too high. The walls underneath the blocks angled need to be geomerged, otherwise the turrets won't be able to shoot over the middle area well.

And, why are there random blocks in the 'blue' room. Yes, I know you can get up in a crevice by jumping on the different things, but dude.. don't just throw blocks in there, build the actual ledge that you can jump up onto. I've already replicated that part of the map.

I hate to say it man, but it's half cooked. You obviously have the skills to perform such a remake, however you did not acquire appropriate information to accurately remake this map. While other people think it's good, in reality it's insanely far from the original foundation. There are many things out of wack, including the stairs. The stairs are actually about 1.5 stair widths, not 1 stair width.

ONE little question...
You KNOW there's this thing called "Object Limit", don't you? xD
That's the problem...
You can't put more blocks in there to increase the height of the upper level.

The thing with the green room, yes maybe i'll do that^^

ive played every single remake on FH and this is definatly better than anyother Foundation remake, the others are hardly interlocked or just dont stay true to the origional.
the map looks a bit smaller than the origional but honestly i think it would play allot better that way, it would compensate for the weaker BR in Halo 3.
definatly going to download this and give it a go.

if you dont have enough pieces then just lower the middle structure, i havnt looked at the origional Foundation so i cant help much. but if you cant do what the above guy suggested just find other ways to get the same "feel" that Foundation had.
