Cryosystem Download Here "Warning! falling objects may be sucked into vortex" Players: 2-4 Gametypes: KOTH Map Size: Small Ever wanted to have an epic battle inside a gigantic Vortex o' death... well, then today is your lucky day. Story Abandoned years ago this purification experiment gone wrong has left a crater and a weird anti-shrapnel portal that leads to unknown places. The magic of the portal causes former scientists and observers to come back to life to fight over the remaining data. Time Well Spent I finished this map a long time ago, though complications have delayed its arrival until now. Under construction for a month and tested for 3 the map is running great. The main focus of the map is the gigantic bowl in the middle that many like to call "The Vortex" The gameplay for this map is very constant and streamed. Keeping full rush on the hill is what it takes to win.

Looks like a well made map but those pictures are so small you might wanna fix that so it's easier to see details. did you use photobucket?
This looks pretty awesome. The forging looks good and "The Vortex" looks awesome. Since it's a smaller map I hopefully will be able to play some real games on it and tell you what I think. Update- Just played a few KOTH games and they were a lot of fun. The map is pretty simple, but it's made more interesting by things like the vent and sniper tower. I actually like the shield doors, I think they are a nice change from normal cover. Good Job.
There is some extremely impressive interlocking in this map along with some brilliant structures. I especially liked the thin corridoor to shotgun. Couple of questions though; why is there a merged grav lift under the floor at one area that only seems to work about 30% of the time? and why use so many shield doors? If you want cover, it usually plays better if it is of the solid type, IMO.
To use the grav- lift properly you need to jump... Basically so you don't have to crouch jump. All of those shield doors have flanks + with out them the games aren't as good.
Glad to see this up and running. I truly am happy that this is up, it caused too much pressure and remorse for me to handle. Nice interlocking and layout. Some things can be made neater though. I've found two places to break out of the map, and if you want specifics, message me. And I looks at spawns, their iffy, their alright, but not the greatest, and spawn predictability is one of the worst things I found here. Overall nice job. Look forward to the V2. -Dylan
I don't hold grudges... glad to see you post. V2 will be in works when my friend Pikachyu gets Halo 3 back.

What's Your face. SomeOne, I'm glad you posted your map. Sorry for not posting ASAP. Also I do love the center of the map cryosytem. You did a Amazing Job at making the walls and boxes straight, Also I do love how you used your budget and items afficently. Thanks for the post.
This map looks amazing. The layout and forging look top of the line. 5/5 I'm dying to play it to see how the gmaeplay is...I would however like to see a recreation of this on sandbox
This was an extremley well forged and fun map. I got a game of 1v1 on it and it was one of the greatest 1v1 maps ive played on(whether it was meant for it or not). one problem i did seem to find was the sniper area, If you got in there and you were a good sniper, you would get a lot of kills. If they tried to grenade spam you, then i would just walk to the other side of the shield door then go back in. At one point i even acquired the shotgun along with the sniper. It was the ultimate camping spot. Also I just didnt like how many shield doors there were, but the other ones seemed to work just fine. This map had intense gameplay, and i will surely be playing it more in the future, good job. 4.5/5
It is made for 1v1s ... Sorry about the shield door... It was kind of a last minute decision. Glad you like it.
looks like it is forged pretty well, but i think it would be a good idea if you make the area around the vortex steeper so that if you fall around the vortex, you would be sucked into it. otherwise, this map looks awesome.
Glad to see people still use foundry alot. Most of the time when I look through the thread 19/20 of them say Sandbox... But this map looks great especially the vortex in the middle it seems like it'll have lots of action based on the size. Can't wait to try it out.
yeah sandbox just seems to have more space/less restrictions, so its easier to build better maps on there (however foundry is a nicer size. but this map, especially with its 'lab' settings simply would fail on sandbox, the forging looks good, if a little haphazard but thats the point? i think. overall looks 4.5/5 just one question, whats in the middle of the vorteX? hopefully a teleporter that =INSTADEATH?
Upside down man cannons that suck in all grenades... It makes a fun noise. I did use photobucket... I also posted this thread using my Ipod.
Hey joey good job on the map, I remeber when you started it a long time ago, The map is very good for King because its like hell in the middle. Its very good put togther and i helped on spawns but i didnt get to finish them, Sorry. But yea 5/5.
Hey, I remember playing this with you, (and destroying you) But that was a long time ago... what took you so long? anyways, The map is beautifully layed out for perfect gameplay, and the forging pleasures me. I love the geomerged man cannons that don't only look nice but you can actually use. You ideas are brilliant, keep up the good work!
dude this map whas really fun to test with you and I'm happy that everyone love's it...but joey you can play more then 4 peeps on this map....butt "hahaha" I sed butt...no but really the only really really big problem with this map is "It's F@#$ing amazeing :-D"
i just played a game of slayer on this map it was so much fun! the forging is excellent, ur backstory was intersting, and the gameplay is very smooth. I am not worthy! 5/5
nice someone! I remember testing this map with you. We tested crazy king and it was awsome. I really like the center with the man cannons. I thought the flow was very good. The asthetics are really good to. You guys should definately play on this.
