YouTube - Forgetacular Map "Icarus" Icarus is an Asymmetric map inspired by a heaping helping of popular maps, including Lockout, Guardian, Construct, Ascension, and Damnation. It has gone through SEVERAL iterations from it's very first version. Combat is spread across the whole map, making use of every part of the map. and of course there is something for everyone. The map was submitted to the Forgetacular contest, but unfortunately didn't win for Team Slayer. However, I am determined to get it in Matchmaking! This map is pretty complicated at first glance, but like Reflection, you'll get acquainted with the layout after about a game or two. Icarus also features TWO sets of TWO-WAY Teleporter Nodes, as seen in the video Also there is a Grenade launcher on the map as well! Do you see the Lockout inspiration? Maybe some Construct? Some Ascension? And here are some Tactical Jumps (Guardian anyone?) Action Shots! Don't Forget to Dowload!
Wow. This map looks like the real deal. It does remind me alot of lockout, and a little of construct. Ill dl and take a closer look. I like the tactical jumps you added, because they're very important.
Yea the tactical jumps are very important. I had a lot of issues about getting from one height on the map to another, and I needed easy ways to get from low levels to high ones, and low to high easily. Teleporters, tactical jumps, and jumping from higher floors to lower floors really helped with that, as well as easy-to-navigate pathways
Nice map, I like how you incorporated ideas from other halo maps and put them in yours. It adds a nice touch of creativity to the map. And the tactical jumps are a plus. Good job.
