I had a (for my part at least) cool idea the other day. Why not take a map like Blood Gulch from Halo:Combat Evolved and make it into a map. I'm sure this could be done. Anyone up for the challenge?

I would love too, just draw it out with the spawnpoints and everything and I'll get right on it.

Oh, and be prepared to be flamed for this thread.

I figured I'd get flamed, but I dont really care. Yeah i found a map layout to use. It's pretty good and gives the bird's-eye view layout. If you want to view it please go here: http://www.lan-z.net/img/otros/MapasHalo2D/bloodgulch.jpg
Hope this would help a bit. I'm making a rough draft form at the mo'. Give it a few days.

good idea, hopefully you can make it a heavy snipers map to reflect the map it came from. because blood gulch is all about the snipers

i have a copy of a map named blood gulch buried in my webserver somewhere, from the early days of U13. I believe it was made by... i don't even remember.

Hey, maybe you should post that here, so we can have a looksee Brick!

It isnt too bad an idea, and would work well as a CTF map. I dont see how the birds-eye helps, but if it does, good thinking.

Vijchtidoodah you look like you might get flamed for releasing it, but I would love to see something new.

I remember the map blood gulch in soldat. Man that was crap. If u can make a better one, I would like it.

Well, if you want it made you can still submit your idea to my thread.

Yeah, I kind of took a week long break from working on it. I didn't know a blood gulch made had already been created previously. If Brick can dig that up, maybe I could just fix it to a sniper's liking as vash736 said. Might add a few other necessary aditions as well.

I found the map, and it's made by Rambo 6! He was the first to implement Halo into a Soldat map. (See Blood Gulch topic here: http://www.soldatforums.com/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=10649)
Problem is I can't begin to try to make a Halo map unless I see some examples, and I can't DL Rambo's map or see any of the screenies. Anyone have a secure link[s]!?

I've been working on a blood gulch map but I accendentally deleted it when I had to reinstall soldat.

Sucks but atleast I have the design in my head.

Hey why not we both create this map together? You seem to have a good outline in your head. We could use your outline, and add things as they popped in our heads. How's that sound?

I found that old map. It's pretty horrible, but here it is:

I believe it was done by -=BT=-Will

Making maps based on other games is general a bad idea.

Making maps based on 3D games is even worse. You can do a map inspired by another map. But you just can't do the map itself. You'll never have the gameplay of the real thing.

Norse: Please use edit if you have to add something to a post.

sounds good though, i don't like halo that much. too much soldat ;)

I'm bad at mapping but atleast it is the outline. This is what I made in 5 min. One day I'll get the warthog sceanary and attach a stationary gun to it. If you had shivorkens halo mod the turret looks exactly like the one in halo.

sry DV i don't like it =/

well I tried my half best, maybe I should just finish it up for the fun of it.

I tried this whole idea once, it just won't work. 3D maps weren't meant to be converted to 2D, bud.
