Project Update

Old School Made New

So at this point I have altered my final expectations for the final project: instead of attempting to design and create multiple levels for deathmatch, I will concentrate on a single one. I chose to go with a level that was originally in Halo as "Wizard" and later redesigned for Halo 2 as "Warlock." It's general layout is a generic symmetrical multiplayer map with four distinctive bases. What makes this level special is the many lines of sight that allow players to target opponents from almost anywhere on the map. Strategic use of cover, height, and the teleporters is vital for success in this map. It will be interesting to see if this translates into Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, after all, the master chief has abilities that the characters in HL do not.

This is my layout for the four islands that are positioned in front of each base.
The inclination of the ramp will be 45 degrees.

This is my layout for the two story structure in the center of the map.
I haven't decided on specific details yet.
