    Summary: Transfusion is a symmetrical map built in the area above Blackout. The map is supposed to represent a Covenant drill. The map consists of 3 main levels. The top where most of the action takes place, the basement where the sword is located, and the drill platform. This is a pretty large map with many nuances to be discovered such as the fact that this map is color coded blue. An amazing yet painstaking endeavor. The map support 2-8 players. And Yes the drill does fire about every 10 seconds.

    Map Story by Blazen Nite: On a particularly frigid day, an excavation team's radar identified a titanic structure located in the northern ocean. The structure was surrounded by a dense fog and could barely be made out from a distance. The team proceeded toward it with caution. A cursory examination reveals that it was a kind of drill. As the team boarded the operation deck of the drill, they were shocked to find Covenant corpses lying around. Some of the bodies suffered laceration or wounds while a few did not. 34 bodies were found overall. There were no other signs of life on the drill. At first the team thought that the drill was digging for gas hydrates or rare minerals but there was no collection equipment that pointed toward that conclusion. However, the team did recover biohazard containers which was interesting. Further study is required to ascertain the happenings.

    Gametypes:
    -Slayer
    -Multiflag
    -King of the Hill

    Weapons: There are only Covenant weapons on the map. Why you ask. Because the map is very different from other maps and I wanted to keep up with that trend by making the weapon set unique as well.

    On to the pics because they say more than words

    What is Collision?
    Okay before I start off, I want everyone to know that I laid every item on this map 100% by myself. Now you may be wondering why this map looks a little like A map known as Collision. Well, back during the summer, I started on a map but got exrtemly busy with work and my moms 4th bout with cancer, so I money glitched the map and made a template out of it to see if other people could finish the map. I showed the template to some friends and they used the template to make Collision. I had told them to wait till I released my template before they posted the map but they didn't listen. This made me a little angry but whatever all has been forgiven. Anyways, I went back to my template and I completely redid it to come up with Transfusion.

    Here's a pic of the template

    Anyone can use the template to make any map they desire. Just make sure to give me credit where credit is due

    Recommendation about brightness:
    The optimal screen settings for this map are high or higher

    Special thanks to Blazen Nite for all his help

    and just in case you missed it, here's the map download

    I love the way the shield doors look. Awsome flag spawn and ideas. I don't know about the template part, but okay. I am downloading and comparing it to collision. 5/5 and downlaoding.

    Holy crap this is simply amazing. I'm DLing now and I'll get back with feedback and rating.

    Back. This is simply the best map I have ever seen. On top of that it's non foundry which makes it even better. The interlocking is immaculate, the layout is smooth, the weapon placement and choice is great. 6/5 hands down.

    This is a very well-made map. I like your idea of using only Covenant weapons to keep with originality. I question just how open this map is, but from my forgethrough, it looks like small to medium parties would have enough different areas to fight. Ingame though, I'm making an assumption here, would the power weapons really create a choke point? i.e. everyone fighting over the fuel rod at once?

    Wow I cant believe someone basically stole your map, thats why I keep it on private so that no one else releases it.

    I like the look of this map, it has a very well set up layout and you added the structures to improve gameplay.

    Good Job on this Map

    This map has a great story behind it. Are there exploding fusion coils where it is drilling?

    Anyway, this map is awesome, especially the aesthetic design to have only Covenent weaponry as well as having all the pics with only elites. One thing i think you might want to take out are any brute weapons, i.e. the hammer, brute shot,and spiker, because i feel like they take away from the "elite" aspect of the map. Just my opinion, i will dl tomorrow when i go on Live.

    This map is FANTASTIC and deserves a feature. Float-Glitching is difficult and time-consuming and the map is incredible. I like that there are multiple floors and catwalks. There is alot of complexity a covie weps are teh ****! Definite Dl from me and great job.

    wow! this is a sick map! it looks like it took u a while to make it, the interlocking is perfect, and well the only bad thing is that from that first pic the map looks a tiny bit slanted. i dont think it will affect gameplay at all, however. overall i give this map about a 4.3/5 and im definitly dload.

    This is the best Blackout map ever period. I was there from the beginning with Public Servent and I have no doubt that he is different from any forger out there. He doesn't release things often, but when he does, it will make head explode.

    This looks like an astoundingly good map. Nice concept, it must have taken FOREVER to color code every double box...
    The map looks like it would flow very well, with a lot of possible paths from one side to the other. I would really like to see this map in action for some CTF games. The aesthetics are amazing, and I love how they can integrate into the gameplay as well. I like that you added those shield walls around midfield; not only do they make this map look BADASS, they allow you to bounce grenades like there was a wall there.

    Pretty nicely made and shiny map. 4/5

    awsome map! not an extensive post, but thats what DLing if for.

    ok so this map is great asthetically, but what abut gameplay? with all those sheild doors it is quite questionable...

    ill get a game this weekend and tell you what i think...

    also dude ive never successfully color coded a blackout anything because whenever you start a new round the boxes change color... could you make a miniature guide to explain how it is done please?

    The map is flat as a book. Try playing the map before rating btw. Sorry for jumping off the handle, but I painstakingly leveled the map during creation using incenderaty grenades as well as framing everything for consistance while using two controllers for multiple angles. I'm just sensitive about my map as anyone who has poured hundreds of hrs into one would be. Besides if you do DL and look at it from afar if there are any flaws they are soon forgiven once the drill fires! THNX EVERY ONE FOR ALL YOUR KIND WORDS! LUV YEAH Public Servent.

    Don't be mean, because i played it and forged it already...

    IT IS Slightly slanted!!!!

    One side is slanting a bit but doesn't affect gameplay at all, because it s really not a big deal...

    very fun game

    WOW! I LOVE the looks of this map. The sheer size is incrediable and the asthetics are amazing. I love how you have the stairs leading down with the sheild door. This map just looks great! I rarely download maps I see here on FH even if they look good, but this will be one of the few I do. GREAT JOB. 5/5 keep forging!
