Map of Reach
« on: October 05, 2010, 21:14:56 »
With the Halo Reach Limited Edition we got a map of Reach.
But I saw the map is incomplete because of the mission Long night of Solace where a hologram of the planet reach is spinning.

So what I'm asking is can we try to map reach out and make a map so we can map where the missions are...
A frog once said if you read this you'll die but how would he know you'll die. He's a frog and frogs can't talk. Who would listen to this frog. So to read this he just wasted your life for a few minutes meaning you are closer to dying anyway so the frog was telling the truth but frogs can't talk?

I was actually thinking about this today..


We should get some out of map aerial screen shots of each map and add grids. Marking data pads, BOBS, switches, and points of interest. These would have to be done in sections due to loading.....although interiors may be difficult..

Unfortunately this would be very time consuming due to only being able to upload so many pictures at a time.

We're not really working a deadline, are we? If not, then time-consuming is hardly a problem. Besides, if we coordinate our efforts, and make sure we keep track of what's been covered, then it won't take as long.

No deadline.
How I plan of getting this done.
1)Take pictures of the Globes in Reflection and Long Night of Solace. In-Progress
2)Get pictures together untill they make a map.
3)Draw the map like the map with the limited Edition
4)Put locations down on the map.
5)Thats us done.

Places with Globes.
1)Long night of solace has a globe in the control room.
2)Multiplayer map Reflection has a Globe floating in the middle of the Room.
3)We have a map of part of Reach

Also, the beginning cutscenes usually have the areial shots. Those might help.

Did you put them to your File Share? Recent screenshots do not show right away, but fileshare should...
If you have put it there, then I dunno. :P

I've looked at the map too.  There are some conclusions I've made.  I won't be comprehensive until someone scans something, which I don't have capability for, but there are two things I've noticed:

1) The map seems to point to what Halsey's Journal would call 'xenoarchealogical sites'.  CAS, SWO, probably refer to castle and sword bases respectively.
2) The implication of the map's comments is that the large circular geographies/craters aren't natural, because they'd be weathered away.  So Reach is almost certainly a defunct Forerunner world a la the Halo 3 Legendary ending world (but defunct).

It would be good to build a comprehensive Reach geography.  So many levels take place in "Eposz".  So where is that?

It hasn't been finished yet but I'll get back into it.

wait... so are you suggesting that reach was the planet chief hit? Me and my friend were discussing that last night. How the planet was still messed up from glassing in the H3 ending and all that stuff.

I'm not suggesting that but if the map I/we do, we can compare the two (Legendary planet and reach) to see if its a match.
How about that.

Just a random thought here, but what if Reach's titanium deposits are because of the Forerunners?
