HOSTAGE

The most accurate remake of fan-favorite Prisoner yet!

This is my entry into the Forgotten Treasures 2 contest.

After spending some time with forge these past weeks and getting used to my new pallete and paints, I decided that I would try to remake my Halo 3 map, Hostage, which is one of the more accurate remakes of Prisoner on H3. But until recently, i had put it off so that I could focus on making some original maps. But a few days ago I decided to play Halo 1 on my PC, and loaded up Prisoner. I looked at the Rocket platform and realized that with my new "paints", I would be able to recreate it exactly as you can see in the image above. And so began my efforts to bring this classic map back to life in all its glory.

TL:DR I got used to forge and then I made an epic remake of Prisoner.

All the classic weapons return in some form (Plasma Rifle was changed out fo rthe Repeater) plus a couple additions of my own. A Plasma Pistol, DMR, and Shotgun now spawn on the map.

Enough talk. Time for screenshots.

Well thats my map. I hope you guys like it, and constructive criticism is more than welcome.

oh and btw i just realized that there is another remake of prisoner already on these boards that is named hostage. if you guys think i should change the name to set it apart from other maps, suggestions are welcome. but ive used hostage asthe name of my prisoner remake since about march 08 (i think. it wasnt long after sandbox came out) when i made my first version of hostage, so the name kinda has a special meaning to me.

if you guys find any other problems with this map that you think should be fixed please let me know. id like to work out all the kinks i can because this is my favotite map from halo 1 and id like to do it justice and sorta make up for all the sub par remakes ive seen so far. (dont get me wrong, some of them are pretty nice and come close to capturing the feeling of the original, but there are some that are just plain awful)

also this is a cleverly disguised bump *hides in corner*
