Forge / SGP community map

« on: October 15, 2010, 17:19:28 »

If anyone is interested I have started a NEW map. I wanted to do a SGP community map that we all could claim as our own.

Intel / Return to battle 10,9,8,7...

« on: October 14, 2010, 17:01:31 »

Exodus is the only level I have tested this out on.

Exodus (Normal)
Check point Bravo:

Once you are at the point of evacuating the Civilians, face the lading pad looking at the pelican in the distance, now look at the building to your left.
That is where we are going.

Ok now we know where we are going...but how. Keep that jet pack handy. Now leave the lading pad and back track, cross the bridge, head down the 2 flights of stairs, now stay on this level and follow it to the furthest point. The landing pad should be up and to your right and the Pelican should be up and in front across the hug gap. where you are standing there should be a lip/ ledge to your left about 50 feet up, you can get here but you will need help.

Have someone with you. jump on their head, have them use their jet pack, this will allow you to have a few feet of free flight. now you jump off them and fire up the jet pack while pressing forward. Now you should be on the ledge.

Look and move to the right, follow it until it starts to sloop down. You will need to jet pack to the right and swing around to the left, basically hook a U-turn, you cant currently see the ledge but as soon as you fly around you will see it. once at the next ledge the return to battle count down will start.. there is a spot here that is safe.. its at either corner of the balcony that you are currently in.... and this is as far as I have gotten..I have tried to fly out of this area and find other safe areas but I just kept dying.

Note, that from the lading pad you CAN fly back down to the starting point, which mostly has been deloaded, not the map but boxes, weapons, and such. You know where you get the jet pack? that door that was blocked with boxes/crates, well now its open..I call it the hallway of death.

Exodus (Normal)
Check point Charlie:

I decided to go off to the next section from the landing pad on to the beach and try the same thing. I followed the beach coast all the way around until it stopped, at the end there was a few pieces of drift wood. You can walk to the end of the wood and jet pack to the rocks that are in front of you. From here you can explore the whole area that you flew over in the falcon. I only found 1 dead marine...

Still needed:
Shot code pictures along with location and mission.

Thoughts of the day:

"Long Night of Solace"

When Goggling Bungie I noticed that the search came up with Bungie: Use it like a Sub (or something like that) and It got me thinking about this discussion...

http://www.gruntspajamas.com/forum/index.php?topic=1039.0

Really im just coming to this conclusion all on my own... I just have a feeling. Also I find it weird that there is infinite enemies on the beach.

"Winter Contingency"

I may have just noticed it, but was there always a Banshee flying around where you first come across the civilians hiding inside a building? The reason it stuck me as odd is because you do not encounter any enemies until after this...and THIS mission was a challenge today.

Work-In-Progress (Halo: Reach) / The Package - T4B finding the answers

« on: October 05, 2010, 16:39:37 »

I could have stuck with a existing tread but I did not what to flood a topic and I wanted a designated area strictly for T4B conversation.

What is T4B? T4B is short for the four banshees.

Currently no one knows what they are for....This is a good thing, for obvious reasons..

I made a map of the package with a few highlighted areas:
Red: these are the cannons that need to be destroyed.
Purple: switches.
Orange: starting point
Blue: SBMG (Sword base main gate)
Yellow: Banshee spawn

Points of interested:

ONI door (also attached) This door is pre rendered at the start of the mission..this door can be seen in fire fight and during the 3rd objective on the Package. I could be wrong but I think in FF it does open, but other then that at no other time can you gain access to it....although if I am wrong about FF that may just give us even more of a reason to look closer at that ONI door.

Beyond the barrier. Once the banshees are activated the barrier is lifted and you are free to roam where ever you want, but if you head to where all the lava is you WILL take damage from the ground and from a fire/smoke barrier far in the distance. Now this fire/smoke barrier can not be crossed while in a banshee.....but it can be crossed on foot.

If you don't see graphic's/ Land don't worry. You can land anywhere and free walk on anything....just watch out for the invisible pit falls, other then shooting the ground to test for a hard surface there is no way to tell where they are..I also highly recommend you travel in pairs, it makes it easier to judge if you are moving and helps for a quick respawn.

Map size:

I would venture a educated guess that the Package is as big as a typical GTA world (Grand theft auto) from the center of the playable map to the impassable corner of the unplayable map it would take you 1 hr on foot to walk...which would make the whole map about 6 miles by 6 miles...

Loading:

When you go for T4B right from the start only 75% of the map is loaded and about 30% of the enemies ( unless you hit a check point ). My current theory is that we need to load the other 25%...which is the SBMG and everything after. This may let us gain entry to the ONI door or maybe spawn another switch...(maybe)

Mentionable:

Can I take a banshee to the end of the ALPHA stage? Probably. I didn't take a banshee but I did take a Ghost all the way to the end, the great thing about banshees is the fact that you can roll. Rolling allows you to get into the tightest spots, I would even say it MIGHT be easier with a banshee...MIGHT. Watch out when rolling you can take some serious damage...

We need to organize and check specific areas 100% maybe someone can make a grid of the playable map and everyone can update the grid when it is 100% confirmed nothing...

If you have something to add feel free..

After playing with a lot of you last night, I was reminded of a map my friends and I use 2 play all the time in Halo 2...we had so much fun!

I am about 30% done and still need a lot of work...

I am requesting the assistance of fellow forger's to bring new life to an old favorite of mine.

Halo Reach General Discussion / Tip & Tricks (Solo Legendary)

« on: September 24, 2010, 17:54:33 »

Having trouble? Getting frustrated?

Here is a few tips that may save you some grief.

#1. RUN! If you cant beat em, run from them...you don't need to kill EVERYONE. Stay on the road least traveled and rune to the next check point.

#2. SNIPE! Hang back in the cut, shoot from a distance, wait for those head shots and conserve that ammo. use the DMR and pistol they are your friends. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.

#3. BAIT! use the HOLOGRAM he/she will be your BFF! Bait out the enemy and get those head shots. You can also use this AA to make a dash though to the next area, have em run at your attackers while you run for the exit.

#4 ARM AI! give those dumb AI's Weapons for dummies i.e. Rockets, snip, or any power weapon because they'll get infinite ammo....unlike you.

#5 BACK TRACK! if you are running low on health or ammo head back to your last EPIC battle and loot. This is extremely helpful and my save your life.

These are the tips you should live by if you are ever to beat the game by yourself. RUN!,SNIP,BAIT,ARM AI and BACK TRACK!!

Work-In-Progress (Halo: Reach) / REACH FASHION

« on: September 22, 2010, 20:57:36 »

Image 1. ONLY based on my theory, this shirt is like wearing a shirt from where you are from...kind of like those bumper stickers you see on peoples cars I.e. HB, OC..something like that.

Image 2. COULD be a logo for ONI on Reach.. I say this because the half circle reminds me of the ONI half pyramid..just a though.

Image 3. BXR obviously this is referring to (B) button, (X) button and Right bumper - Famous because if preformed correctly delivered an instant kill in Halo 2

Image 4. Sinoviet - Sinoviet Heavy Machinery is a Human company based on Earth and Reach.

Forge / TEAM SGP: New game types and Maps

« on: August 19, 2010, 21:59:14 »

I know its a little early but we should plan now for a line of SGP maps and game types.

The only thing that I request is that the concept is clear to understand, feed back is constructive and no stealing, by stealing I mean using someone idea without permission and not giving credit to said person.

I know Forge 2.0 has limitation so my attachment is overall pretty simple. Not to say that you have to limit yourself, just keep that under consideration.

I have also thought about game types, just not for this map..anyways post ideas here and have fun!

SGP: Tango -

platforms on either side are all sunken in to avoid spawn killing. the platforms are connected by a catwalk and also connected to the center cylinder. the bottom of the cylinder has a small mat with 2 warps and four man cannons. The warps lead to side covered areas on either side of the cylinder and the man cannons blast you to 1 of the 4 platforms.

This is a small map good for slayer, objectives and swat. still working on the layout due to a lot of open area...
