^click the pic. to download Prism Prison^ This prison is located at Antarctica. Only the worlds worse are sent to this bone chilling prism. 4 - 8 players. Description: Prism Prison is actually a map that really utilizes asymmetrical and symmetrical games (as you'll see in the screenshots) and for those of you who don't know what that means, I'll put it simple for you. Asymmetrical games are games like 1 Flag, and 1 Bomb. Where as you have 1 team defending and 1 team attacking. As for Symmetrical games, like Multi-flag, and Team Slayer... you have bothing teams attacking and defending. I first designed this for 1 Flag and 1 Bomb only... but I thought I could do more with it and went back into forge with it. So after adding a few things to the attackers base and putting them on 'symmetrical only' it was ready for multi-flag assault and other symmetrical games. I thought I was done but I wasn't. The thing was the the things that I designed for the asymmetrical game type were still there in symmetrical (forgot to change it to be that way) So I went back in forge yet again and made the things I didn't want in symmetrical games to 'asymmetrical only'. I also added something to help out the attackers in asymmetrical games. I also at this time looked around and changed the whole weapon layout. (It was pretty cruddy at first) The new weapon layout is basically Human/Brute weapons on the left (the left being the side that has the flood pure form) and Covenant weapons on the right side (But as for equipment~that aren't grenades~ that ruling is out). (The right side bing the other side) The line is drawn where the big monitor is. After placing weapons, I decided to work out the spawn system. I must admit at first I really couldn't think of good spawn placement, but I eventually got a spawning layout down. I shall note at this point that I've used every single wall, wall corner, barrier, barricade, and grav. lift availabe in Cold Storage. To go even more into this map, I decided to make a handful of game variants (which I have links to all of them later in this post) to go with the map. I'm sure if you do play them then you'll soon realize that pink is something to be afraid of (in some cases). And with that, I'll post the pics now. The Attackers Base (in an Asymmetrical game type NOTE: There are grav lifts that take you up to the upper ledges behind those wall corners ~in all game types~) The Attackers Base (in a Symmetrical game type) The Attackers base (back view on a symmetrical game ~grav lift shown in this pic is on both game types) The Right Side-lower half (in an Asymmetrical game type) The Right Side-lower half (in a Symmetrical game type) The Left Side (in an Asymmetrical game type~ There's a teleporter on the other side that takes you to a platform in the defenders base) The Left Side (in a Symmetrical game type) The Left Side room (in an Asymmetrical game type ~The teleporter takes you to a gun turret looking into the Defenders base) This gun turret looks into the Defenders base only in Asymmetrical games.

(5 - 8) ~Also, I'm not sure if infection counts as a symmetrical game or an asymmetrical game... But I'm going to guess that it is an Asymmetrical game... Well, that's all I have for this map for now. Hope you enjoy it (if not, please tell me what you think I should do to improve it) and may the forge be with you. Oh, and one last thing... FEAR THE PINK!
Thanks Could you care to elaborate on what you mean? Yeah, they are under weapons, just got to look closely and you'll see them in there.
First off let me tell you that your post is truly beautiful.The color cordination was ingenoius. Now to the map.It looks like you spent a good amount of time on this map.I like how you went back and fixed weapon placement + spawns ,that shows that you cared about the map.Utilizing the symetricl and aymetrical feature is just great and a very good feature to a map.All together a 10/10 for effort,hard work,and your ability to post a beautiful one.=)
In order to make a great map variant, the way the map is played MUST be completely different and in same ways must look different. The map looks slightly different and the way it's played is barely changed. That's what I think.
No flaming here ,but you can't change the actualy look of a map.He added alot of stuff this to the map.i think you should download and make sure that your right before you make a comment like that. Again no offense.
Thanks for the awesome reply. Well, I think it is... complicated... to change the game play on Cold Storage and still have it as a good map... (I think I'll add some more pics so maybe people will get a better view of it. ~I did notice that I left out one key pic. ~but you can kind of see that in the pic The Defenders base ~view 2 ;it being I blocked off the center-bottom way of the big rooms. I'll also take another screen shot showing a better view of the man cannon lift in the Defenders base. (also can sort of be seen in The Defenders base ~view 2) I did use every single wall, wall corner, barrier, and barricade... (and some other things) >.>
This might be the first cold storage map that I have seen on forgehub! I'm glad you made it. One problem: Too confusing.....
darn you. you stole my turret spot =) the one that looks into the defenders base, awwwww. I always have that in my CTF map i put a box up there made from barriers and a small turret hole. I hope yours plays CTF and better than the original bungie made CTF. because red team has adantage over blue in that 1
I agree with Playerhata27, except I dont grade _/10 I do _/5 so, I give you a 5/5 ^.^. Maybe I can play a game with you?
Trust me, CTF on Prism Prison is pretty cool. (The gun turret doesn't pose much of a threat in 1 flag really, but if used right it can be effective) Sure, send a FR to my GT: Vorpal Saint.
looks good not a real fan of cold storage but the thing is i might be a bit bias because so don't take it that seriously
uhhhh looks kinda like cold storage with a new weapon set and a few added items nothing special, just a flood map, good job on what you DID, but its not really a completly new map
Thanks I wont. I hope you enjoy it if you download it. =] I'm guessing you didn't look at all the pics. very carefully (read what they have to say), because you can clearly see what I added.
