    Coolant Fields is a map created by myself and Coyote1023. The map covers all of Avalanche that is covered by snow. There are several territories, and they all cover every inch of the playing field, resembling conquest. The gametype it uses is called BT Rush, because it is made with big team gameplay in mind. At each spawning area, are multiple vehicles, some power weapons, and a custom powerup. The custom powerup will make you green. You will become much stronger, faster, and better in every way though you can not drive vehicles, therefore you are a spartan/hulk/juggernaut. Take your pick.

    Rounds Description

    • 3 rounds
    • 5 minutes long
    • 20 second territory capture time
    • 30 second sudden death
    Map Description
    Everything on the map is color coded. Yep. That was the one thing I wanted to make sure of when I started this. Although the map geometry is set up differently, both sides have the same weapons and vehicles, and similar cover. Neither side is better than the other.

    Apologies for the crappy filming and video editing. It's in HD though, so enjoy! Thanks to Xang Yang for spending like 10 bucks for the video on us. We love you.

    Cule! This is a really awesome map, it brings conquest to a new level, a big open level! Too bad i wasnt there for the final test, although it really did turn out to be a great map to play with a big party. I think your made everything on the map very balanced, i see you kept the wraithes, o yea and i really love the idea of a spartan, although someone kept hogging the power up... Also great vid, you know you could have taken your time on the video and post it tommorow, o well. EDIT: I didnt know coyote helped on this map...

    Posting it early because I will have little to no computer access this week, and the following week I'm having guests over for a full week... one of them being a 7 year old child who I do not trust. Who will be staying in my room. With my 360. >.<

    well its about time this got posted. after like 3 weeks of testng its finally perfect eh? I played a version with a tank which was okay, but it was also an older version. This new one is very fun, balanced, and you've definetly hit the spot with balancing power weapons and making it easier to push back. worthy of a feature in my opinion,, great job!!!

    Noooooooo. And at the same time Yeeeessss.

    Nooooo because I have a drawn up and kind of started vehicle conquest map on Avalanche. You beat me to it :)

    Yeeeeesss because now I dont have to finish it, and can move on to another thing I had planned. It looks wonderfull, it is similar to my design in terms of starting on the hill, and I will DL and enjoy.

    I don't know how many times I have played this, but everytime I have enjoyed it. It's a really nice feel while playing with such heavy vehicle combat on such a large map. There was really never a boring moment while playing because essentially when you died, you would spawn with a nice chopper or sniper staring you down at your base. Really nice work Rifte and Coyote to the map and gametype.

    Who's that amazing wraith driver in the video. ;)

    Yay! i agree with Phemon, i have tested this over and over and it never got old, each time was a better advancement to the final product. Although Rifte and his Spartan Goose got a lil old =p

    I agree with Captn, who agrees with Phenom but also just look at that HD! This really is an enjoyable map to play on, especially with large parties, congrats rifte and coyote.

    I remember testing this and I loved it, me and B3NW used to argue who would get the custom. The gameplay was fantastic and the aesthetics aren't too shabby either ;). 5* Rifte, love it .

    I agree with Ratman who agrees with Captn who agrees with Phenom. lol.

    I just love the gameplay of this map, it never gets old and I just love going kamikaze with the ghost to get their firs territory. I've had many many epic games on this map and I believe it's a great gametype in itself too. I hope their will be more maps styled like this. BTW luv chopper shortcut!

    Ah, great, you got rid of the Scorpions, they were sort of overpowering on this map. I remember testing this, and the team that was losing tended to get trapped in their spawn area as the other team fired at them, did you fix that on this map?

    Wow its amazing when you randomly get invited to a custom game, you play on a map and like it. Then a few weeks later that map that you though was just a muck around map gets posted to forgehub. This has happened to me so much.
    This map, if I can remember, played quite well. The only thing I would have suggest was editing that ramp down from the starting areas. Other than that, great work.

    the map has been changed heavily from what most of you have played a couple weeks ago, people now rarely get pushed back that far, and if they do they will normally have the necessities to push back.

    Thanks for the nice comments, guys : )

    Thanks for the amazing feedback everyone. We have tested this map religiously for the past few weeks making positive that it would be as balanced and fun as possible.

    Rifte, I finished the story:

    Thanks coyote, I've added it to the OP. And I hope you mean rigorously.

    Same concept. If you do something religiously, it means that you are devoted to it and care about it. Rigorously is lots of testing. Same thing for the most part, at least that is what it is in my diction.

    Thanks... I know the video wasn't the best but considering what I had to work with, I thought it was good enough.
