Description:

1.4 EDIT:: I have drastically altered the statue to look less like an elephant, adjusted the teleporter platforms and fixed the teleporters so they drop you off on the opposite side like in the original and I added support for Assault, CTF, Headhunter, KotH and Oddball.

I loved this map in Halo 2, and thought "No one seems to be making a Gemini remake, why the heck not?"

Anyway, I had Halo 2 Vista opened up the whole time I was forging so I had a direct reference point for everything. I took very few liberties with the map design, but I eventually ended up with merely $80 left in the budget, so I had to work with what I had. After freeing up some more money, I put a ton of aesthetics on the exterior part of the map. (Note: You cannot actually get out to the buildings outside.)

The map currently only supports Slayer, but that includes Slayer, Team Slayer, Elite Slayer, SWAT, etc. I will go back later today and update the map for other gametypes.

Weapons: All weapons are the same, with similar respawn times. I had to adjust spawn times and clip sizes to suit Reach, and swap a few weapons for the new ones.

Shotgun x 2 (1 spare clip each)
Focus Rifle x 1
Plasma Pistol x 2
Energy Sword x 1
Needle Rifle x 2
Plasma Rifle x 2
Plasma Repeater x 2
Concussion Rifle x 2 (1 spare clip each)
Needler x 2 (1 spare clip each)
Plasma Grenades x 8
Overshield x 1

The map also has the Juicy FX.

The upper room with the garden (Energy spawns behind the tree. It is not set to fixed to prevent that annoying glitch that prevents you from picking it up from a corpse).

Rock statue. I didn't try to make a perfect statue, but I made the shape of the original statue.

Hope you guys like it, I had fun making it. If there are any problems with it, I will try to fix them as soon as possible but I only have a few days to do so. I am having heart surgery on Friday, and I won't be back for 2 weeks.

I just have to mention that the Sniper Rifle is much more like the Beam Rifle than the Focus Rifle

This looks like a great remake. I wasn't a big fan of gemini in Halo 2 but I'll download it anyway. Oh, and BTW, this isn't forge hub, it's xforgery. You might want to fix that.

As I said, I took a few minor liberties with the weapons.

The map is eh, okay. never played the first original that this is a remake of but I'm assuming you did a good job remaking it. The way you incorporated the ground and trees into it is pretty cool though.

I can assure you it is by far the most accurate remake you will find of Gemini.

I have updated the OP with a link to version 1.4 and a description of the updates. Added support for a plethora of gametypes and tweaked some other stuff on the map.
