Pwntars new maps review...

[s1cfuc]

quick update been playing them all day.

Exhibit great map anyone that plays 2vs2 for long time serious will love this map. its got all the elements and i def see it being in peoples rotation at lans. great choke points is what makes a map like os tunnel in chillout and this had that feel all game.

zer0hour= another great map i was surprised it ran as well as it did. this map will be killer in 4vs4 ctf it looks like it will play like ctf derry.

Imminent- this map blew me away when you first spwn your like what the fawk is this. but as you run the routes of the map you realize how amazing it flows. im seriously impressed its got a feel like prisoner where you gota have fast reaction but also a hang em high where u gota have r@pe long range nades and long range pistol shots. this will def be in a rotation of maps played. this will be a map that takes long time to master just because how complex it is.


MadHouse- its pretty hectic map it will be fun to play but def not a serious 2vs2. to many random things in this map happen i still have fun playing it but with all the power ups right on each other it just leads to a lot of random game-play.

all and all im shocked that 3 out of the 4 maps play as well as they do and could def be used for anyone that plays serious 2vs2 games.
thnx pwnytar

so download them and get on xbc and play em. i know how halo 1 players hate any change but im picky as fuc and 3 of these maps will be fun to play for years to come. and if you don't got a mod box soft mod your box i know crap about pc stuff and HAXOR stuff but it takes 3 min to do you just need to go find action replay which is like a memory card got it for 10 bucks and you need splinter cell used its like 2 bucks.

just played a round of each with pacman and his friend

i agree with bri guy

both pac, his partner and i thought that exhibit was amazing and really stood out as the best

i suppose madhouse's powerup locations could pose a problem, because one could become juiced very easily. you can even grab the overshield from underneath.

i do however think that battling for these powerups would be intense as shit.

all the maps are incredible, and play great

thanks a million pwntar

*if anyone can help me, my user interface will not change. I replaced the UI file but it still shows up as the original maps. I am using xbox media center dashboard. I just put the files on a CD-R instead of FTP because FTP wasnt working. i don't know how to access any X Y Z partitions to clear the cache. not really a problem, but i'd like to have the new UI working

I have been running around in the maps and am going to lan it tonight so ill hold off on a deep analysis till then but we here at PWN love your dedication and the maps, thanks Pwny!

As far as the UI situation, I had that same problem when installing the maps to the boxes for our lan in Orlando. The thing that cleared it up for me was deleting the 2-5 cache. There is a way to delete the cache without FTP'ing into the box. I use the UnleashX dashboard and that comes with a "file explorer" where you can browse all the files on your box and preform functions on them like rename, delete ect... Im not sure what dashboard your using but if you have UnleashX then can delete the cache like that.

El Wraith,

Since you're using the XBMC dashboard, it's actually quite easy to clear the cache...you just have to have the DVD2XBOX application (so get it if you don't already have it). Once you have it, it also has the "File Explorer" option, and from there you can open up the X Y and Z folders and delete everything that's in them.

alot been asking me what you need to softmod box, their is 2 things action replay wich is this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ACTION-REPLAY-XBOX-Game-Enhancer-8MB-memory-card-cheats_W0QQitemZ200424115982QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVid eo_Games_Accessories?hash=item2eaa354f0e

and splinter cell get it used from gamestop for under 5 bucks. thats it then you just install halo 1 to your hard-drive using xbox2dvd which you can download online.

below is step by step how to do it for lazy people * i did not write this***

What you need:

Action replay (You need this to transfer linux to your xbox)

Meccahsult,Splintercell 1, or 007 Agent Under Fire ( you need one of these and it has to be orignal, the reason you need this is because these games have a linux program in it)

Your gonna need a linux installer each game for if your gonna use meccahsult (i prefer this game) AIM me i have the installer.

If you are gonna use Splintercell download http://eastcoastxbox.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdown... SC%20UXE%20Installer%20v2.7
(scroll down)

If your gonna use 007 Agent Under Fire
http://eastcoastxbox.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdown... ller%20v2.7
(scroll down)

Ok so you got all those Things then your ready.

<><><><><><><><><><>
How To Soft Mod Your Xbox.
<><><><><><><><><><>

1. Open up Action Replay and drag you linux installer into the Pc Data Base.

2. Now drag you linux installer onto Memory Card.

3. Alright cool you got linux installer on your memory card.

4. Ok now put thay memory card into your memory card and transfer it to your xbox's hard drive. (make sure you delete all past game saves of the installer you are using)

********
WaRnInG
********
Some Linux Installers have to parts so copy both of em onto your xbox hard drive.

5. Now ok you got your linux Installer on your xbox. Ok restart your xbox.

6. Put in the game you are using.

7. Ok load up all the profiles and you should see "run linux" go there.

8. Ok it took you to a whole differnt screen it'll say netherlands or english, if u speak better in netherland then pick that if not pick english.

9. The Rest of the questions it'll give you is really easy exept when it asks you if you want Nk patcher.06 or Nk patcher.67 Pick Nk Patcher.06. then when it asks you if you want Unleashedx or evoltuionX. PICK UNLEASHEDX.

10. After that you are all done your xbox is modded.

THANK YOU MUDBONE. i ran the dvd2xbox application, and then ran "file manager" and that allowed me to access X Y and Z. I believe the cache was located in the Y folder. Worked perfectly!

THANKS FOR NOTHING BRIAN AND PACMAN

you da man mudbone

i'm very impressed with pwnytar's maps so far. i agree with exhibit looking to be the best followed by zero hour. i'm still on the fence with imminent but HH at first looks huge and daunting so with time i think it can work.

madhouse....not so much. it's a nice looking map but the poor powerup placement can ruin it. then again prisoner's powerups are close together and it works so maybe it'll work out once people get the map down. but it worries me how easy it is to get OS, rocket, and camo in about 3 seconds. even if you're on bottom or the rocket walkway, there's still an all too easy rocket camo pick up. and unlike prisoner, it's going to be difficult to get grenades in there which really cuts down on how risky it is going for powerups.

i really enjoy the little details that were put in too. the majora's mask moon on imminent had me LOLing for a good 5 mins and i really like the (1) swinging on the pendulum in madhouse, with pwnytar's name engraved in the ledge underneath it.

the new maps are great! it really adds to fresh, new gameplay that keeps the game healthy, fun and alive.
Im a big fan of Zero Hour. I love the set up of it, and i was surprised to how smooth it ran aswell. I got the hang em high feel when i played the map. the pistol and the sniper rifle are very powerful in this map. These 2 weapons are key...
I love Exhibit. at first i didnt really like the rocket set up, but after playing it for a while i began to get use to it and enjoy it lots. I love it how the rocket is ontop of the tower, and you can take the ladder to get up there..thats hot.

Imminent is a pretty cool map as well. its very hard to get use to this map though, and i deffaintly feel like you need to be skyping with your team mate to play this map well, buttt i am a fan of this map.

I like mad house. its crazy, its a fast paced game, and its just fun. I love how the power ups are all right there. that calls for a huge fight. If one team wins the powerups first, you can get them next time around and even it out. this map is great.

thank you!

[s1cfuc]

2 be honest playing the new maps is most fun ive had in halo in long time. im going to put up some vids of me playing soon to show that how baller they are in 2vs2 when people know how to play that your playing.

[Nastadon]

I've played all the maps once, so just going off first impressions I got on XBC

Exhibit - It's a very small map. But was busy getting spawn killed to be able to do anything. I managed to find OS once, and at the end I saw rockets, but got killed. Was a fun map though, I can see myself playing it often after I get used to it.

zer0hour - Map was perfect. Felt like a bungie made map! Map was easier to control, every nade anyone threw at rockets made it fly to me. Felt like a magnet. :D

Imminent - Map is visually amazing. A little confusing at first, but I got a hang of it pretty fast. I still don't know how to get up to the highest point (other team was always up there sniping, so when I got rockets I got a few doubles randomly firing rockets up there lol), but I got the rest down. Was pretty fun!

MadHouse - I wasn't feeling this map. Most rooms were only big enough to have melee fights, and once you got top control it was hard to get back from it. Just had to get the OS, drop for rockets, drop for Camo, and then port back up and control it some more.

[meg(an)]

exhibit gameplay...so those without the maps can see what they're missing. sic is making me post this one. hmmmmm, maybe it's cause he goes 26 and 2 off host.

**update on the new maps.

iminent- is no joke real good map simple but complex like dammy. its good for lan and xbc because mid to long range battles.

exhibit- is a real good lan map on xbc its still good but feels like a chill out to many close range pistol battles so hosts have big advantage.

zerohour- not really bad or good for 2vs2. its not a host map like exhibit but it does not flow as well as iminent or exhibit.

madhouse-poop

[MudBone]

i actually really like all of pwnytar's maps.

madhouse takes some getting used to, i think...i enjoy it.
