I'm sorry, but if this map was all for the looks then CrowPath should have just kept posting screenshots. Maps are for playing. Screenshots are for staring in awe at. I don't want to play on a map where you pick up a sniper in a close quarters, underground area and the AR is in one of the only open areas. That is crappy gameplay. Looking at the awesome job that Crow has done with all the textures and modeling in screenshots would have been better. This map could have been a work of art and a great map to play on if he had some more help with it from the start.

Oh. By the way, this is kind of a stupid church. A real church, covenant, or even some messed up forerunner church would make more sense. But some demonic church that takes place over some hellish looking planet? WTF?

seriously, this is an amazing piece of artwork in .map form. This is a halo modding site, and he modded halo to create an amazing map. No requirements have been installed assigning the priorities that you must consider during mapmaking, so turning halo into art is perfectly acceptable.
Congratulations on the outstanding Crowpath, you deserve it.

Holy shit guys, he put an ASS load of work into this, and you're all disappointed because it's not "fun" to play on? Just appreciate the effort and outstanding outcome of this beautiful map. You won't see very many other maps out there that look this magnificent. If you didn't like the "gameplay" then go complain somewhere else.

Oh believe me, I have a lot of respect for CrowPath, and deeply appreciate his talent. But if you're going to spend 3 years on a map, why *not* make it fun to play in as well? I would have rather waited a few more months for that than just *look* at it. Yes, go *look* at this Halo map. Actually, go make a server called "Look" and make sure it allows the max number of people so everyone can *look*.

We're not. I've stated many times that the mod truly is a work of art, but then I have one complaint and I'm the enemy? :|

I don't deny that the map is beautiful! All of the work he put into it shows. But no one is going to spend nearly as much time staring at the map if it has no gameplay value, than if it does. I'm sure that at least a few of you are going to get Halo 3, or at least PLAY it at some point. You aren't going to stop and look at all of the detail put into the level a few dozen times just because it was made that way. No, you would stop and look because for a moment you weren't fighting off an enemy and you stopped to look at the hard work that was put into the map. Or maybe you saw something that you never noticed before after beating down a friend. You aren't going to go back if there isn't any reason to.

wow this looks amazing. It's a work of art. I can see the gameplay still being fun. I don't have CE myself so I can only go on the video and what other people say. I still give it a 10/10.

Don't rate it until you play it. You can't base everything on screenshots.

cryticfarm, could you please stop? You are ruining the mood.

And yes, this isn't communist Russia, we can base everything off the screenshots if we want to. I've played it with some friends I can't really see what's the big deal about gameplay; it plays like a bigger version of warlock.

To me I think you should be banned...For one..all you have been doing is flamming, 2 and a half year son this project, then you come to this site and all yo9u do is flame...WTF is wrong with you man, that is a disapointment that you would come to this site and flame on probably the first topic you wen't to!

If your gonan flame just leave HaloMods and go to a different site. I bet you can't even make that!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And Nicely done with your map...all I have to say that it is a magnificent piece of art! I bet it was hard as hell doing everything that you have done in this map! My first impression when i saw the work put into this map was..." WOW THIS IS TRULY, TRULY MAGNIFICENT! "

Not really. :?

Can people have an opinion around here without getting bitched out? He's even said that the map looks great, but he just doesn't like the gameplay aspect of it.

You can take as long as you want on something but it turns out bad.
DisceCruxLogos said he has respect for his effort so shut your pie-hole. It's not a really flame, he is just saying that he didn't like the map.
EDIT: DOH! You beat me to it.

I doubt that there is a single person on HaloMods that could say that this map isn't beautiful. A lot of people, including me, think that the lack of good gameplay will be the downfall of this map. No one is going to keep playing on the map if the only thing worth loading it for is to look at the walls.

And this map is nothing like Warlock.


Crow, please take down the link and try to make the map better for gameplay. Please.

That part was a tad harsh. I never meant to be taken the way I was. Like I said, I admire and deeply respect the work put into the map. CrowPath is an artist; I just thought he could have done even better. It would be nice if a moderator could clean up a few of these posts.
