A Certain Affinity: Mapmakers to the Stars
We have a long and detailed chat with Certain Affinity's Max Hoberman about making the new Halo 2 maps. Lots of insight and entertainment follows.

I love the picture captions! They made my day at work.
-
please make it so you start with a BR, if you play these maps in matchmaking, it's so annoying to battle BR / Sniper / Sword / anything with a fricken SMG / plasma rifle I love Tombstone, I didn't like derelict, but you made it sound good =)
-
haha, shiska stripping. thats quite niicee
-
The maps look nice. Good Luck in the future.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Snipercidal I'm counting the days till the 17th. [/quote] Yeah, I know I cant wait for the new Star Wars stamps to be released.
-
From what I've seen, the new maps look great. I'm counting the days till the 17th. I can't understand why anyone would leave Bungie in the peak of their success, especially when the H3 development work was just getting underway. You guys must have quite a vision. I wish Max and all of CA the best, and will be looking forward to their first release.

SHISHKA RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just curious as to why there hasn't been an exact date annouced yet for the new Halo 2 maps or for the Halo 3 beta. We're midway through spring and May is right around the corner. Is the exact date going to be announced only days before their release?
-
Omg, this is going to be great. New Halo 2 maps, Halo 3, Halo 2 vista. This is my favourite year of my whole life
-
I haven't read the entire article yet. I just glanced at the first few paragraphs and I'm totally exstatic about the remake of Hang 'em High! W00t W00t! You're totally right about the nostalgic feeling about that map. Way before Xbox Live even existed we used to have the funnest LAN parties playing that map. CTF absolutely rocks on this map. Sniping is awesome for this map too, especially when you get a killtaclular from nailing player after player right before they're able to place your stolen flag on their base. Sweet! I can't wait to play the revamped version!
-
Ok first of all superbouncing is not cheating bungie even said that it isn't so there you go. On a lighter note how do you know the maps are coming out April 17th. Also can't wait for beta but someone told me it might not come out till later on in the spring. The only thing I disagree with you on is the superbounces because you have to be skilled at the game to do them. Now mods are a totaly different story. Friends let Friends do superbounces!
-
Ok, so this could have been asked and answered, but does anyone know what easter egg on Hang 'Em High Frankie is talking about?
-
my favorite halo2 map is lockout to because i also like to be a ninja and the small quarters for easy explosive kills plus i totally idol you guys for the monkey sounds thats crazy .... cant wait for halo3 and these two new maps thanks guys.
-
I named my gamer tag after heng em high. I think that it is probably the most complete level since the beginning of the halo legacy. you guys were right to add it and thatnks for listening to the masses. oh and by the way it sounded like you guys tested obout half a dozen original halo levels, were some of them by chance prisoner, chill out, or wizard.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xDashingJugglerx Ok, so what I want to know are there going to be superbounces and other cool things in these maps. And is bungie releasing the maps and beta simultaneously?????[/quote] Man I hope there are no super jumps in these new maps. Superjumpers ruin games....sorry but it is cheating. And no, the maps come out April 17th then the Beta (who knows when), then the beta is taken off xbox live(its a limited beta that is also undetermined at this point). So we will be left with the 2 new maps to hold us over until this fall(doubt it). Hang em' High will be a nice addition. I hope to see old favorite maps in Halo 3. I don't know why they remade derlicht? Uhhhhh what anout sidewinder! I won't juge till I play it so who knows? Maybe it will be the next great map. Hope so for 4 bucks. Cheap and sweet although I rather it be free since I spent so much money buying the Halo 3 beta feturing Crackdown. Yup, you heard me. Until all of the chaos and endless nights on Halo 3 beta I recomend a little Gears of War action. I hear theres a new update soon and they are hinting at respawning!? Thats off topic. TOMBSTONE LOOKS GREAT! Friends don't let freinds superjump

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SS_Zag1 Shishka, you guys really have done a great job with the art. It's pretty inspiring, actually. I love remakes that stay mostly the same, but get a complete graphical overhaul, just as Tombstone has done. Very awesome. :)[/quote] Thanks! I'm glad you like 'em. Everyone here is proud of the work we've done. [quote]I can't wait to play these maps. I need to try Dawn of The Dead (Zombies) on Tombstone.. Looks like it could be fun. :P[/quote] Tombstone is likely to be the perfect map for Zombies-style combat; plenty of places to make a last stand. It might also make an interesting Tower of Power map, provided you're into such crazy ass gametypes.

Great job CA! Great update on the maps, and I believe I can describe CA in one word as well... Alligator
-
Good work on the maps, CA. :D Shishka, you guys really have done a great job with the art. It's pretty inspiring, actually. I love remakes that stay mostly the same, but get a complete graphical overhaul, just as Tombstone has done. Very awesome. :) I can't wait to play these maps.

rofl that last comment on the pic made me laugh for a pretty long time :D

Hey Frankie man when are you gona release a date for the beta. I am sure i speak for everyone here when i say the suspence is killing me. please all i ask is for a date and if you told us this week it would be very nice

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] longhorn10 yeah! i got my own little game place in Austin! woot for the ATX...welcome to Austin Certain Affinity...[/quote] By "my own little game place" do you mean a game store or Lan center, or something? [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SpiritDrummer There is this little game called Knights of the old republic III that needs to be made. I was thinking that giving Certain affinity a crack at it would be a great Idea. Seems like they have a good experienced group of Devs and some Bungie experience. And we all now that Bungie is the world's best. Anyway, perhaps CA should contact Lucasarts??? I would love it if this game finally got made. [/quote] Thanks for the vote of confidence, but as far as full game projects go, our hands are a little tied. =)
