HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

I forgot the positive stuff, JC. First off, it's visually stunning. The placement of everything is absolutely fantastic and the idea of putting water in is really great. Sets a very cool atmosphere and the lighting looks darn pretty too.

Cool map though.

Howdy. I suppose I'll take this one, being how I came up with "High Tide" and all.

When I was looking through the list of propsed names in the pictures seciton, I noticed that they all had one thing in common: the names all seemed to focus on and bring attention to the trees. However, when I play the map, I focus more on the water than the trees. I see an aquatic-like map, not a forest-like map. By naming it "High Tide," the focus is shifted back from the trees into the water.

As for the name making no sense: I have lived in an area right next to the shoreline. As you looked to the water, on the other side you can see land (much like you can in High Tide). However, every day the tide would still go in and come out, just as it would in the ocean. In fact, sometimes in this body of water (The Sound, it was referred to), the tide would even raise and lower more than it would in the ocean.

I was sure to submit the name "High Tide" and not "Low Tide" becasue if you look at the structure on the water's edge, you can see that it is not too high above the waterline. Should it currently be low tide, the water during high tide would swamp the structure entirely.

Well, I hope that explains it well enough. In short, I saw in this an aquatic map, not a forest map (although the trees do an excellent job enhancing the realism).

Good work, JC!

Needs a patch with picture/description for mainmenu <_<

Air lifts+Warthog=fun.

GOGOGO!

Air lifts+Warthog=fun.

if u got a driving license u can use the ghost + lifts to get on the highest point

Well, that's a darn solid defense, Chad, and I'd like to see some of it in the map description. I can't argue with somehting if it's well backed-up.

haha nice, DWells . I never thought of it as a "darn-solid" defense, I just was sharing my thought process. I have my own style of doing things, and not everybody understands all the time why I did them. With my skins, I don't usually have any sort of a desctiption attached to them. What descriptions I do have were written by other people (you, if I recall ). I like to think that with the title and the actual map people can come to learn and understand the feel of the map. The story behind it, at this point, is left up to the player to determine.

I guess it's just my simple way of having some sort of artistic expression, being how I'm not really much of an artist. I just make little textures from time to time.

Anyway, DWells, I hope you didn't feel in my last post that I was trying to slam you or anything. That wasn't my intention.

Sweet Jibbering Jesus! I <3 j00.

dayuuuummm.... nice mod bro.

Looks great. Thanks for using my post generator as well.

Looks amazing.
I will try it out tomorow because my tv is not doing its job.
Also next time you get on AIM IM me because I was out today.

I would kill for a ghost recon like AI mod on this one, speacially with ZONES!
Nice work I loved the map its one of my favorites.

Superb.

Some Jackal towers with Jackals in them would be the only good AI edition to this map since there are no zones yet.

**New Mainmenu Pics update at first post...+Download (right format)**
