Halo-Team CTF

I'm happy to announce that I have begun working on my first map based on the popular game Halo. It will consist of most gametypes you've come to know and love, with most weapons (no covenant weapons as of yet) as well.

As far as terrain goes, I think I did a very good job, with absolutely no blizzard cliffs except for the bases (which are placeholders, ElectricSaiyan on the Hive is working on custom base and vehicle models/skins for me). There is both tile and height variation as well.

I've made the map fairly close to what it looks like ingame, but it is mostly barren, which is why I added trees, rocks, and shrubbery.

The game is almost ready for Alpha, but I have to fix up some triggers. The abilities are done, and shooting mimics what was in Elimination Tournament, but not as good (it is untriggered).

Gametypes: There will be two gametypes: Team Slayer and Capture the Flag.
Team Slayer: This is the Halo version of Team Deathmatch. Two teams will duke it out for dominance over the battlefield. Each kill earns your team a point, while each suicide or betrayal (killing a teammate) will be rewarded with a negative point. The first team who reaches 100 points wins.
Capture the Flag: This one is pretty simple. You and your team must capture the enemies' flag and bring it to your base to score a point. 6 points wins the game.

Players: The players themselves will have control of one unit, a Spartan II super-soldier. Each Spartan II has an energy shield (based off of mana shield, except it works with triggers). If they are attacked, their energy (mana) will go down instead of their health. But if they have no mana, health will be damaged as normal. The Spartan IIs are heros (just to make it easier to track), but there is no level-up system, and there are really no abilities as of yet. The game is based on shooting with guns, not chucking a fireball at someone or turning them into a sheep.

Weapons: There will be multiple weapons, with more possibly on the way (should someone decide to help me make them)
Pistol: The pistol is the weakest yet fastest reloading gun in the game. But those with a quick trigger-finger might find this gun a weapon of choice.
Assault Rifle: This is Halo's machinegun. It has a fair reloading speed and fair damage, along with medium range, and one of my personal favorites.
Shotgun: This is a classic weapon that has a wide area of effect and moderate attack, but is meant for short ranges, and also has a slow reloading speed.
Sniper Rifle: Every team needs his marskman, and every marksman needs his tool. This bad boy has the longest range in the game, and is second to strongest. But it has a very slow reload speed to make it less powerful.
Rocket Launcher: There is only one of these on the map, and it is worth grabbing. It is the only other weapon in the map that has AoE, other than the Shotgun. It has the biggest area of effect, the most damage, and long range, but has the slowest reloading time.

These are all the weapons so far, but I'm planning on adding grenades and things as well.

Vehicles: ElectricSaiyan might skin a Warthog and animate it for me when he's done with the bases, but otherwise there will be no vehicles.

The map team consists of myself and ElectricSaiyan, who has been kind enough to supply me with models (or will, when they are ready), and EricDaRed, who provided some of his triggers for my use. Both of them are from the Hive, and I'm not allowed (right?) to post links.

- Hive and WC3C are not affiliates.
- Read the rules for this section. You need a lot more information in the first post.
- That information needs to be on this site. Don't link to another site before your post has sufficient information to meet our rules.

Sorry about that. I just assumed it was so for some reason... in any case, before I rework my first post, are you and the Hive enemies or something?

Plz, stop stupid posts.

Stupid posts? How was it stupid? I linked to another site that I put my project up on... so I changed it, and now your calling my post stupid? Is it my idea? Do you have a problem with Halo? It's my first project and I ask for constructive criticism, and what do I get? An insult. That's nice. But I don't really care what you think, especially since your calling it "stupid". Sure, it's Halo. But big deal! Your project was about Starcraft, wasn't it? So if my project is stupid cause' it's based off another game, then your project is stupid. And so is everyone else's, according to your logic. Congratulations.

Affiliates or Enemies ? That is the stupid thing. My website is not affiliated with wc3campaigns, am i an enemy ? -.-
And here is not the place for that.

Abriko is entirely correct. We aren't enemies with THW. The site has no policy either way towards it.

You have 24 hours to get your post up to spec.

But man you made it sound like he was gonna get banned or something just because he is making a map with someone from there....

Kevin's day ?

When did I say that? It's normal practice to link-strip any thread that doesn't have any real info in it. WC3C is a site for modding, not for linking to offsite modding.

I just edited my first post, so why are you giving me a day to add more information if I added as much information that I could give? You confuse me, Captain Griffen.

- Halo based.
- Alpha ready.
- ET like shooting.
- CtF and Team Slayer modes.

Really, if that's ALL you have to say about your map, you may as well give up.

Read our rules. I will not warn you again.

Yeah, your information is not detailed enough. You aren't telling us enough about the map. Features? Types of heroes(units)? Weapons? Not all of us play Halo, you need to elaborate.

I've added on to my first post... if there is anything wrong with it still, please let me know in a some-what kindly fashion.

Looks much better, I think this is acceptable.
