Introduction

One day I was stumbling around looking at remakes of classic halo maps, I soon after realized that to my knowledge there was not a single truly good pit remake out there. They all had varying problems, or simply just were not true to the original pit. With this project, I aimed to fix that.

--------------------------------------------------------

Remaking a classic

My first step in recreating the pit was to pick a theme, I wanted to stick with a classic like vibe, yet still wanted it to feel like a training area. Shortly after I found the classic pit concept art drawn up by Bungie, and the theme was set.

I made sure all the correct angles and such were available, and all jumping spots were also available just like in the competitive version of The Pit.

Comparing it to the Original

Weapon Layout

I wanted to stay somewhat classic in the weapon layout, but still wanted a variety of weapons to be available to the player. I tried to merge together the layout from the Classic pit and the MLG versions.

Overshield x1

Sniper Rifle x2

Rocket Launcher x1

Plasma Pistol x1

Gunfighter Magnum x2

Boltshot x2

Needler x2

Battle Rifle x2

H2A Battle Rifle x2

Carbine x2

Plasma Rifle x2

Assault Rifle x2

SMG x2

Plasma Grenades x4

Frag Grenades x4

Splinter Grenade x2

Supported Gametypes

Currently, The Pit only supports Slayer, CTF and Strongholds, with 8 players maximum. I will be working on expanding this in the future, and will be hopefully adding oddball and assault to the supported gametypes list.

Special Thanks

Huge shout outs to everyone who helped test the map, and my main dude Kabe, for being the one who truly wanted a good Pit remake. Shout outs go to everyone who has made a pit remake so far as well, this map wouldn't be what it is without looking at all the other remakes and what they did for right and wrong for certain areas of the map.

Thank You for reading the post, be sure to give me any feedback on what you may want changed, or if you run into any problems when playing the map. Be sure to follow me on xbox (GT- Foge) for more project updates and stuff. Peace Out
