CloseWay

This map is made due to my 2022 personal school project, we are free to choose whatever the topic we want, make it and do the presentation. And I choose Halo map modding.

Please set your expectations, I have no prior experience of using 3D software or any kind of modding when I was making this map. This map is made out of fun and learning experiment (passion project in short)


CloseWay is a mixed of long range and close range combat multiplayer map, featuring room to room clearing and probably camper's paradise.

Originally, the map is extremely dark, only lid by the emergency lights placed around the map as the only light source in an enclosed indoor with no window whatsoever, relying on flashlight and methodical actions to survive. But in the newest update, the entire map has been unintentionally lit up due to the newly added windows in the stairwell, so leaving out flashlight and methodical actions aside.


This map is purely based on my school's 3rd floor layout. Every room, wall, and ground are mostly replicated successfully to this map except for furniture, windows and other missing feature. I done this out of sh*t and giggles. Yes, you read it right, it was meant to be a joke and representation my love-hate for the school.

Disclaimer: For the players who speak about "this is offensive, act of terror, or etc", I want to point out that this map isn't sufficient enough to be even useful for act of terror unlike the controversy "cs1.6 school map" story. Plus, bringing real-life examples of school shooting isn't helpful, you should seek the ministry of education and/or the ignorance parents/adults and express your concerns to them instead ranting in here, Im just here for gaming.


- Originally, this map was released in NexusMods around Q4 2022. Steam Workshop for Halo MCC wasn't a thing back then.

- Around 2023, Steam Workshop for Halo MCC released, so I port it over here.

- After few days of being released, certain player giving negative impression due to the original map name, the assets or the amateur 3D modelling causing another update on the naming and assets.

- Lastly, a few fixes and very small improvement made before it was put aside.

- After 1 year and 6 months, I've decided to return and remodel the entire map, bringing closer to real-life counterpart and also improve the texture mapping too.

- And finally, the remaster was released on March 8th, 2024.



-Each room will have slightly different layout of items scattering around, logically and nonsensically.
-Explore each room is encourage to find different weapons and powerups.
-Map will be confusing/disorientating to traverse due to majority textures being the same.
-Playable on Slayer, CTF, KOTH, Race, and Oddball. Note that the map will NOT feature vehicles, so you're fighting on foot.


Things that might get update:
- Improvements/Fixing (spawning spot, camping spot, undiscovered exploits, weapon placement balance, objective, etc)
- Keeping map up to date when MCC gets update.

Things that will NOT be update (for a long time or never):
- Adding windows to the map.
- Adding Interior windows for room to room see through.
- Remake the entire map.
- Rework the map flow.

Currently working in progress:
- Remastering the previous map (improve stairwell, toilet, doorways, bitmaps)
