The Halo 3 "spiritual successor" to Warlock

All updated version 2 information will be in orange text

Warlock was always one of my favourite maps in Halo 2. I tryed to make a version of it on Foundry, but the whole "industrial" feel and limitations meant I could never do it justice. The reason I call it a "spiritual successor" is because I have made a few changes, instead of an exact remake.

Firstly a special thanks and a mention must go to Squidhands. If it wasn't for his advice and taking his time to show me exactly what he meant, none of the changes I have made would have been possible. I think I have got the map just how I wanted it to be in the first place..So your $156 tip was very valuable. Thanks again.

The most notable changes are:

*The BR platforms have been made lower. Instead of the side bases and BR platforms being the same height with the centre structure being slightly higher, I have made the sides and the centre structure the same height, just to change up some of the lines of sight..I also makes the jump to camo in the middle slightly harder

*The teleporters are no longer in rooms with gaps at each side. I felt that this wouldn't work as well for Halo 3 as the ports now spit you out the same way every time

*I also added some equipment to give it more of a "Halo 3" feel, but more on that later.

Sorcery v2 changes are as follows-

* Borders have now been added to the parts that Titmar pointed out could be nade jumped out of. I made these from wood bridges as I felt it helped the ramps to the platforms not look so out of place. I also built them on an angle, rather than just stacking them on top of the wall simply because I thought it looked better.

* I took out the whole purple lighting effect. It wasn't really doing it for me. Now the centre structure has a blue light only in the top.

* The lights at the sides of the centre structure have been moved. There is now a clearly defined red and blue base.

* Structures have been added to the tops of each base purely for the purpose of some extra aesthetics.

* The camo is now sitting on a platform rather than just floating in mid air.

* King of the Hill gametype added

* General touch ups. The centre structure has been fixed so there a no more gaps in the top part and no more bumps on the ground.

Some side notes/comments:

* I know the map is breakable in someways, but not from conventional jumps..I have ditched maps in the past because someone may figure out some crazy way to get out, but I won't anymore..If it was being used in MM I would understand, but most of the times these maps are played as customs with friends. So unless someone finds a way to conventionally get out of my map in game, I won't be changing it

*I really didn't want to use the wooden bridges as my ramps, but I had no choice with the budget I had left..I really wish Bungie put a stone version of these in because in someways I feel they completely ruin the look of my map, but what can you do :)

*I know there isn't many weapons on the map but I strongly reccommend this map be played with BR/SMG starts. I learnt with other maps, that too many weapons on a map this small can completely break it
