Co-Forged by me and Bubbieman, it's your old friend Avalance, just a wee bit smaller. Tell your team to rush the splazer! Cloak up and sneak through the keyhole. Pick up the shotty on the way. Grab that flag and teleport out to the mounted gun where your wart driver's waiting. Blaze up the backside of the vehicle mancannon and drop in on home base! "Flag Captured!!"
Halfalanche is built in the spirit of Avalanche. We worked with the Reach forge sytem (as it differs from H3) and the ForgeWorld coordinates to fit into the canyon, something that pays *serious* homage to your old friend. Some areas and objects are very similar in scale, symmetry, look and feel while othes simply maintain the gameplay elements and dynamics of Avalanche. The scale is probably 3/4 so, technically, it's more than half. :D The key here is "in the spirit of" Avalanche.
Heads-up: We used inverted sheild doors at angles as slides at the dangerous mancannon landing zones to overcome Reach's fall damage. This workaround was preferable to using teleporters or other non-Avalanchesque options. No custom gametype required, but if you want the most authentic experience, be cool and don't use jetpacks. ;) Also, we opted NOT to put a hard kill volume over the center structure so you can haul ass in a Falcon through the soft kill volume. This is by design and doesn't seem to hurt the dynamics. It was just too harsh with the hard kill volume.

Is Avalanche a remake of Sidewinter?
Because it is very similar.

@halofernandez0029 Whoa, good question. Not a remake of Sidewinder, but it very well *may* be the spiritual successor (e.g. what Guardian is to Lockout).
