    Triple Point is designed for the Predator (Juggernaut) game mode in which the Predator is an invisible, fast moving killing machine that can only be defeated by team work.

    Triple Point

    Is without a doubt my most challenging creation due to a lack of resources and many tight spaces, leading to much of the scenery to be placed by hand (meaning A LOT of nudging to get things straight) and items such as teleporters being used for aesthetic purposes. I forged this in the hopes that it would make use of the Predator game mode, which was only previously associated with Compression (a variant of Blackout).

    Walls and barriers have been used to enclose the already tight map even more (so much so "Cold Storage" is beyond recognition) to create strongholds for the players (or Humans, if you really want to play Infection) to try and defeat the Predator in.

    Starting in the largest room, there is an artificial balcony (accessible by jumping or a lift) with two SMG/Plasma Rifle combos and a Deployable Cover, complete with a Plasma Cannon for extra protection. The barricades around the top not only stop people overshooting the platform from the lift, but are also quite pretty.

    Towards the centre is a Flamethrower on top of a shelf, with a Grav Lift, Needlers and Plasma Grenades underneath. Below that is a Spartan Laser. There is a Energy Barrier sealing off the middle, constructed from smaller barriers (one of which is slightly off, so please forgive and do not point it out as there is no way of correcting it).

    Moving to the room on the right, there is another shelf with an Energy Sword, below there is a Trip Mine with an Assault Rifle (players don't spawn with it) and dual Spikers. Guarding the hallway is a Machine Gun Turret, with an Overshield just in front of it.

    Down said Hallway is the second largest room, which is similar to the first. There is balcony constructed from barriers (also accessible by lift of platform jumping) with two battle Rifles and a Plasma Cannon. Towards the left is another platform with a Flare (if you feel the urge to blind yourself). Atop the shelf towards the centre is a Radar Jammer, whilst on the shelf at the other end is a Brute Shot with a Sentinel Beam sitting happily underneath.

    Continuing in an anti -clockwise fashion we enter the room with the "Flood in a tube". The room has been divided with walls, forcing players to use the crawl space to cross over (risky with the fusion coils. Dotted about the room are a Shield of Bubbles, a couple of Carbines as well as Spike and Plasma grenades.

    The final room (from the largest but up and left) is the weakest stronghold. It is based around a shelf with a Machine Gun Turret with an Assault Rifle, Mauler and Power Drain underneath.

    Brace yourselves, here come some long lists.




    Weapons:
    • Energy Sword -1
    • Needler - 2
    • Assault Rifle - 2
    • Battle Rifle- 2
    • Carbine - 2
    • Sub Machine Gun - 2
    • Plasma Rifle - 2
    • Spiker - 2
    • Laser of the Spartans - 1
    • Brute Shot - 1
    • Mauler - 1
    • Flame Thrower - 1
    • Sentinel Beam - 1
    Equipment
    • Frag Grenade - 3
    • Plasma Grenade - 4
    • Spike Grenade - 4
    • Bubble Shield - 1
    • Drainer of Power - 1
    • Trip Mine - 1
    • Lift of Gravity - 1
    • Radar Jammer - 1
    • Deployable Cover - 1
    • Flare - 1
    • Overshield -1
    Please play with the Predator game type and get back to me, this map is the first Cold Storage variant I've seen and one of my best maps.






    P.S. Triple Point supports everything.

    This looks really good, though, I'm curious, did you only set up the game types for Juggernaut? Or did you include slayer/ctf/assault/infection?

    Cause this looks like a great infection/slayer game.

    Whilst the map was designed to specifically accommodate Predator, I took the need to have other gametypes into account. The map supports every gametype, with the possible exception of Territories ( as I didn't edit anything).

    I've played it on Predator and it's awesome but I haven't tried anything else; I imagine Infection could be good.

    I'll give it a try! Most of the time I don't think that Cold Storage maps are great because of it not having any decent Items but this actualy looks good! 5/5

    Oh! And how did you put in those dots? The ones that you used to list the weapons? Cus if you told me than that would be realy helpful!

    • Go to an advanced post/reply
    • Click on the "Unordered List" symbol (3 vertical dots with lines)
    • Type your heart's content
    And thanks for trying my map :)

    It really looks like you tried to fit in every weapon on the map... usually not a good thing but let's see, shall we?
