Not associated with PC gaming in any way, but I wanted to show you guys a Halo 3 map I spent a good amount of time working on back in 2008. Not a day goes by that I don't regret submitting it to a Bungie.net map competition.

It was a 16 player map called "Zal's Labyrinth" in which 15 players, each armed with a single pistol and assault rifle, would spawn in the air and safely land in random areas of the maze. The 16th player was a randomly chosen zombie with an energy sword. The zombie had double the jump height and speed of normal players as well as a very close proximity radar. That tube you see in the middle is what the zombie would spawn and slide down through, buying the other players a good 5~10 seconds to locate other teammates and establish a plan. The green teleport station you see right below the opening of the tube allowed for the zombie to warp randomly into 1 of 4 colored corners of the maze or even nudge to the side and land in the middle without touching the teleport station. I added the zombie teleport option in hopes of keeping the matches interesting and unpredictable, which ended up working quite well. Balance was the goal and I wanted to infuse the scare factor into every player with that "Where the fuck is the zombie!?!?" feeling. Also, every kill from the zombie meant another zombie added to the map. Rarely did we ever see players survive the 5 minute win times.

Re: Halo 3 Custom Map
Oh how I wish they would someday release Halo 3 for the PC so I could actually continue the storyline I'm not buying an Xbox for one f'ing franchise.
Map looks pretty cool Zalaz - reminds me of some lazer tag places I've been to.

Re: Halo 3 Custom Map
I hear ya on that. I've been pulling my hair out at the fact that I can't play Reach. Other than Halo though, I'm quite content with PC gaming.FN wrote:Oh how I wish they would someday release Halo 3 for the PC so I could actually continue the storyline
