General Halo 4 Guardian Remake

[Ririe 2]

So after seeing the remake of lockout by Deadcanadian, Cosmic, Dafthacker, and Vonkova i was inspired to recreate my favorite map of all time, halo 3's guardian. While building this map I had my other console playing h3 guardian so i could be precise as possible.

I don't have xbl so you can only download it from here and resign/rehash to your console.

As Vonkova said, "This map is not 100% identical. With the objects we had to work with, it was a bit difficult. We are not pros, We are not from forgehub, We do not spend countless hours forging.

So please understand this before criticizing. We tried our best to make it as close as possible. If you hate the map then fine, If you like it then awesome."

Know issues:

+I ran out of money so a few guard railings missing

+No weapons that spawn on map (to poor for them)

+Doorways to wide

+Gravlifts are iffy because h3 never had sprint (they work 99% of the time)

+Not enough kill areas where people can jump onto (if I place more the map wont load the lighting correctly)

+ Didn't have enough money to make the lighting right in some places

+Ugly gray colored like all forge maps

+Other dumb stuff

Ps: I am now working on recreating the original "forge world", Foundry! Look for it to be released within the net couple of weeks.

If you can could you re-create factory? That is one of my all time favorites!

I will check this map out soon and tell you what I think

[Ririe 2]

Forgive more for disgracing your map, but which game is factory in?

[sackorice 3]

Factory was in halo 3 and no harm done. I didn't remember what it was called til I looked it up!

[Ririe 2]

I don't mean to correct you, but all I see for halo 3 is Foundary. It may be named differently for different locations. Is it the main forge map?

Edit: Nvm you are from folsom, im from vacaville so... i have no idea. I have looked at all the dlc maps as well.

My thoughts exactly.

And I was already thinking about creating this one as it should be very easy. I am a little worried about the fence walls though. There is none in halo 4 so i would have to jimmy rig something. ...Meybe I could use wires to replicate the fence?

I will be glad to give it a shot for you though.

I haven't even gone into the forge menu yet but I would hope there is something like a fence

[Ririe 2]

Not that i've seen.

[deadcanadian 271]

for halo 4 the items are the exact same as reach, so no there isnt any fence walls. at most you would need to use something like a glass cover if it could fit right so you oculd at least see through it.

[Ririe 2]

I was thinking of making the outline of a fence with a horizontal and vertical cross bars so you cannot jump through. Then use wires to make the effect of a fence.

need to watch item count that way though. since the game limits a certain amount of items.

If you did it the same as the lockout then not that I know of. I will re-upload tomorrow morning.

Also I will start working on foundry tomorrow morning,

[Ririe 2]

It has been re-up'd. I did not change the name this time, but i don't think that should make any diffrence. If you are still having troubles let me know.

It did make a difference and it works now, woot!

You did a great job man, very nice reminiscence

However I was hoping the weapons would be on the map (I know you said they werent already lol) Ill just add them myself

[Ririe 2]

Thank you! I would have added them but there was not enough money. And when I started adding more stuff the lighting would stop loading.

Edit: I was able to add in the shotty, sniper, and grav hammer, but nothing else. I will re-up again with those 3 weapons if anyone wants.

You actually don't need to put the guns on the map because of the loadouts and ordinance drops that are provided throughout the game so preloaded guns are unnecessary

[vonkova 66]

lol, nice. I havnt tried the map personally but I may eventually.

Ic you quoted my statement lol. Glad it has a universal meaning for others and not just me hehe.

If you are going to do foundry like you said you are. I would suggest using windows as fences so the seethrough will still remain. Also for the roof, the ovalish shaped Roof may come as an issue with placement. Thats if your going for a really good remake. Other than that, it will just be boxy lol.

Wish you luck on that remake though. I had it planned, but ive decided to do the pit instead lol.

There are also the invisible walls you might be able to work with, pretty sure those are still around from h3/reach.

[Ririe 2]

I think i am going with just a frame with two diagonal cross bars. It will allow it to it to be shot through but not walked through.

On a side note because I remeber it being mentioned, I am not going for a picture perfect remake visually. I am making all the measurements of the exact however. I am doing this by using the basic crate in h3 & 4 for a reference in size as it is the only item that stayed the same size. In short the floor plan will be exact but I will not be worrying about the extras like windows, crane hook, angled ceilings, etc. Thanks for the comments and intrest in my work.
