    Infineighty is my very first competitive map. I decided that a simple 2v2 map would be a good place to start. The map is shaped like a figure eight or an infinity symbol, thus the name was born. I tried my best to keep the map from looking very dull like most competitive maps nowadays, so I hope it suits your fancy. Enjoy!

    Layout

    Think of this map as a figure eight with a line of symmetry straight down the middle. You should get comfortable with the layout in a matter of seconds because, quite frankly, it isn't very difficult to understand.

    Thanks to all who helped test the map. Also, Stevo and Nibs you are welcome for carrying the team all the time.

    looks pretty good. i like how you did the grass and river in the middle. are you sure it's only for 2-4 players, because i can see this becoming a good free for all for maybe 6-8 people.
    just a suggestion and btw i appreciate your picture posting guide (could'nt have done anything w/o it)

    I played this once donkey-years ago, and i can safely say any more than 4 players would be a big no-no.

    All I really remember is coming in halfway through the game and being royally owned by you and stevo and crying. I played this map in the early days and could tell quite a lot still needed to be done, so I can't really comment for gameplay now, but I did enjoy it even back there. I <3 the ladders.

    Yay! It's posted! It's about time... I played this map before it was posted (got it out of you FS) and it looks sweet. However, I don't really like the weapon layout... as I have told you before. But it still plays amazingly.

    The map has a great transfer between the metals to the natural room, rocks, water and what not. The glass ceilings in the corridors look sexy. I also like how you showcased the weapons by laying them on "shelves." AND they middle pillar has more detail than I put into my entire maps. @.@

    Also, in the thread what's with the two random spoiler buttons around the "Layout" description? They don't show anything.

    Are you sure? The first one is the weapon placement on the map and the second one has a little bit of a different overview...

    Is anyone else not seeing it?

    Wow, this looks very well put together, i can't wait to check it out. My first thought though would be to add some far away pictures, or if it small maybe a layout of the land. cause it's hard to tell the size by these pics.

    Ah, for a second I thought this was Infinty. Too bad. Looks epic, though, especially for some FFA or team dubs.

    This is the same weapon list I played it with. But it still plays well. Just not enough power or variety, imo. And its loading now. The pictures didn't show at first. Sorry about that!

    It's rather small. It is a 2v2 map after all. You must have missed the picture so here it is.

    Everything is well put together and nicely made although its too compact for my taste. The center is very small and the hallways are even smaller. I realize its only designed for 2v2 but I think its more of a 1v1 or even a 1v1v1. The bases however were a good size and had a good layout. Overall its a solid small map, just my opinion without having tested it in gameplay.

    And you said you didn't like the gold braces in my map :p

    That being said I love the aesthetics of this map, especially the spawning rooms. You definatly chose a great location for the map. Gameplay was equally solid, but there was that one ledge you could jetpack onto, did you ever get around to fixing it?

    I like the attention to detail in this map. Small aesthetic flare without compromising game play every where you go in this map makes it seem very professional.

    Great Job SoS, the aesthetics in this map are really something special. Yous used the Antenna smalls, and braces wonderfully. The whole map blows me away, great job, definitely downloading!

    I added a soft kill barrier up there because there wasn't any way to fix it without dampening what it looked like. Thanks for helping me test it!

    Thanks a lot. I spent a good deal of time adding aesthetic value to the map.

    Thanks. Tell me how it played.

    Thanks, Ya i never got to see this pic^^^^^^^^ Sadly i already got a chance to check it out on reach. Great map, very small and simple but still well thought out. It provides three (3.5) different routes from each base. I'm becoming more and more fond of the small maps, especially when they're well built. This is one of them. I'm now gonna have to check out the rest of your maps.

    This was my first competitive map so it means a lot for you to say that :) My other maps are mini games so I'm not sure if you are too fond of such things.

    This map is ****ing awesome and anyone who doesn't download and play this needs to quit playing Halo forever.

    By the way, thanks for unknowingly letting me borrow the pictures you used in your OP for clarifying the weapons and their quantity on the map. :p
