Map Description

In case you couldn't already tell, Outlawed is a remake of my favorite Halo map of all time, Hang 'em High. Almost every detail of the original map is present; the catwalks, the tombstones (somewhat accurately placed), the ramps (perfectly placed), the corridors within blue base, and the same exact weapon layout, with pistols swapped for BRs, and with half the number of grenades (as you can only hold half as many in H3 as in H1.) I have also taken the liberty to swap the two health packs for eqipment; one with a bubble shield, and one with a regenerator. It gives combat for this map an interesting twist, especially in CTF. The only element of HeH missing from Outlawed is the central trench. Adding a trench is possible, but to do so would require raising the floor with blocks, and such an amount of objects would take away from the details I painstakingly added. In order to compensate for the loss of cover, I added some tombstones to the ground. I feel that it does suffice, and that Outlawed still looks and feels almost exactly like its predecessor.

wow is all i can say really.

I never played the original so i have no idea of what to expect but fom what i can tell there is some excellent forging here =]

looks like a well made map.i will try this when i get on halo.

I've seen this on HBO. Good remake and interlocking.
I never liked this map in halo 2 though :]

Whoo didn't see this.

Okay, time to get down to buisness:

First impressions I personally love Hang 'em high. I made a remake myself, but yours blows mine away. The detail is great, very creative way to do the cat walks. I am glad you stayed true to the original weapon load out, and to the design of the original map. I will download the map and play on it as soon as I can. After playing on the map Rating I cannot give a proper rating until actually playing on the map, but from what I am seeing: 4.5/5 (I round up) Final comments/suggestions Again, I must play on the map first. But very well done.

thank you.

Okay, I played on the map.

I will download the map and play on it as soon as I can.-DONE After playing on the map You didn't lie. The map is very accurate, well, as accurate as anyone can get I believe. Honestly, you did a great job. I wish I had been able to play with 6 people, but I couldn't. But either way it was great. The catwalks were smooth, same with the platforms. The only thing I felt was off were the tombstones. If you add a few more here and there, while leaving the center isle (where the trench is supposed to be) open, I think it could greatly improve the map. Rating I cannot give a proper rating until actually playing on the map, but from what I am seeing: 4.5/5 (I round up) Final comments/suggestions Just as I said above, a few more tombstones maybe, while leaving the center isle clear could be something to try. This is just personal preference on my part, for the sniper tower, try using ramps to give it that sleeker appearance that is in the original. Very well done.

i tried it with the center clear a while ago. because there's no trench, there's no cover. that made combat really bland. I added the tombstones to compensate for that.

What you could try would be to make two elevated bridges in the center, kind of like the original map.

But either way it is a good map. Submit it Forge hub.

already did about a week ago. this is the final version. i've developed it for the past few months. it's time to move on. I'm satisfied with it.

And you should be.

I was merely making a suggestion is all.

i understand. thanks
