    Colossus

    Created by: africanBoi (roYalgrenad3hoR) and TOOFGIB [​IMG]




    Colossus is a small asymmetric map great for two teams made up of 2-4
    players. Colossus is set up for every game type allowing for a wide verity
    of play conditions. Colossus contains two small garage type basses housing
    mongooses and an small verity of weapons (BR, Sniper, Brute Shot, Turret,
    etc..).




    Defensive Base("Garage"):

    Attackers Base("Outpost"):
    [​IMG]


    Each base features a unique route into the larger "Tower."


    [​IMG]


    The Tower is a 3 story building which is complete open on the inside. The
    Defenders have a direct route into the base via the second floor as do the
    attackers. However, the attackers may also enter through the "Main
    Entrance"
    located on ground level. The Tower houses small vent on the
    third story,

    [​IMG]
    an assortment of equipment and a Spartan laser on the second story well
    within the grasp of both teams from the start. However teams may want

    to focus some attention towards smaller, but highly lucrative "Castle."

    [​IMG]


    The Castle houses crucial territory containing vantage points on most of
    the map as well as containing the Shotgun. But perhaps the greatest focus
    in the map is the bridge connecting the Tower to the Castle.

    Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, it's a rocket! Or as I like to call it
    "Baxter." (I like poetry, a glass of Scotch, oh and my good friend Baxter
    here...)

    When you download the map please send some feedback. This is the first
    version of the map and I’m sure there will be some bugs. Please if you
    have any suggestions about weapon placement or anything for that
    matter, please let me know I'm all ears. Also this is my first post and will
    gladly take suggestions to enhance my future posts. Thanks for
    downloading, hope you enjoy!

    P.S. I know you can get out of the map, that’s not my concern. For those who like to cheat there's nothing to gain from escaping this map…

    The layout is intriguing, and has a very Halo 2 feel to it almost mini-terminal-esque. I dig asymmetric maps, so I'm gonna have to check this one out. I'll be back with more comments after I've ran around it a bit.

    This map is very unique! You don't see maps with this much thought and creativity as much anymore! The pictures are very nice, so I'll definatley DL this! 5/5 on the layout.

    It does remind me of terminal. This looks like a greatly forged map. One thing I noticed is there is no picture for one corner of the map. (The corner where you are taking the pictures from).

    Once I get my xbox back im going to download this.

    Needs some more cover outside because its too open outside the buildings. Other than that the buildings look good and has good weapon layout except that the trip mine is too close to the br. Good job! 3.9/5

    Colossus Review

    This is a very good post, especially for a first one, but some of the interlocking seems like it could be a little better. In the last two pics the interlocking is fine but in places like the "Outpost" you could of used some more. But gameplay comes first and it looks like alot of fun. 8/10

    i Like the layout but the thing that would of made the map look better is if you flipped the boxs upside down.The map is clean but if you would of done that it would be cleaner but good job!

    Thanks for the comments so far, i was kind of surprised that every one is
    reminded of terminal from this map. I am currently working on some changes
    and a v2 will be around eventually. Still as always I'm open for suggestions.
