*NEW** Octagon V5 Now Up!!!**NEW* --As Seen on Bungie Fave's!-- Changes: - Objective/Infection Spawning Problems Fixed - New Weapons Layout - Subtle Scenery/Floor Changes. Octagon V5 (Completely updated!) The Octagon The Octagon is primarily designed for King off the Hill. However, it's set up and perfected for every game type; including go-to points for VIP or Juggarnaut. The Octagon Map Description: The basic idea of the map is simple. There's a huge pit in the middle that you want to control, being the hill in King of the Hill. Once you're in, the only way out is death, so think carefully before you drop down. This also makes it a trap for any other game type with those who walk too close to the edge or are frantically hopping around. The map is set up for either a free-for-all or a game with two teams of up to 8 players each. I spent hours upon hours to perfect this map. The entire main structure is interlocked. There have been plenty of measures put in to help prevent spawn camping as well I hope you like the map! _______________________________________________ Screenshots: Overview Side View and New Spawn Hives No Way Out...

Add a detailed description, try to do what pics do, without pics. You need at least 1 embedded pic with that also. Just follow what I've quoted and it should be good, but just note, everything in the second quote isn't needed, just recommended. Edit: Funny Funny Mr. Hulk. =) Edit 2: 1 more comment on pics and this thread gets another quote and 3 people with -rep. (not you Mr. Author.)
The two pics that work right now look good. You should make the walls higher so no one can escape, and add a better description. (YES GUESTS WILL JUMP OUT, THEY DO THAT IN EVERY MAP!!!). Apart from the problems, it looks like a very fun map, 5/5 for aesthetics. It would get a 5/5 overall, but I cannot rate overall without seeing a complete post.
you just said he needs to fix things...then gave him a 5? w/e the map seems like a good idea, but the gameplay looks really bad, i can see spawn camping alot, as it is only a square with a pit in the middle, the octagon has been done many times before, i think a new shape would make for a cool map
I love your interlocking and the way you made the octagon in the middle is nothing short of perfect! I will DL this can't wait to try it!
i like this map. nice interlocking. how do you get out of the octagon in the middle? oh wait. DEATH! lol very original
That pit looks perfect for my "THIS IS SPARTA" reenactment where i laser someone and he falls into the pit of death.
Technically there is one way out... There's a plasma nade in the middle of the hole : ) Otherwise though, the point for KOTH is to get one man in there and then everyone else protects him (Team Game) or get yourself in there and try best to hold down your position (FFA) In games other than KOTH, the point is to try NOT to get in the hole but sometimes it happens. For example, when you're hoping around trying not to die, you don't think quick enough, hop to your left, and boom - you're safe... but stuck in the hole. Also, while playing CTF, quite obviously the fastest way to get from A to B is to jump the pit. However, if you get killed mid air, you're flag drops down... that's the risk you have to take. You'll find crazy ways to use the hole in every game type. Just experiment, you'll enjoy it : ) EDIT: BTW, I've now added a Weapons Layout for the map, hope you like it : )
nice, i like this map a lot. its real clean and i can tell you worked hard on it. btw, I like the little wepons thing oh yeah.... I'M OLD GREGG!
Dang, I just made an octagon shaped map myself but the hole was filled in with a really cool looking floor... Before I clicked on the link and saw the pics I was afraid you stole my map lol. very closely related though.
I like the map. I would find it hilarious when someone fell into the octagon hole. Anyway my only complaint is that you should make the walls higher so no one escapes
The Interlocking you did on the map is flawless and the map idea is very origanal. I rate the map a 4.5/5. I think you should make a way out of the octagon though. Check my map out here Odins Eye Competitive Maps - ForgeHub Halo Forums
More pics would be nice but from the pics i can tell you must have planned this out and taken alot of time but i dont likem pit because you can't get out and sorry to say this but it seems kinda pointless
this map has a lot of merging and geomerging from what i can see, it looks real nice, and smooth great map overall
