    unto dawn
    Created: 04.05.09
    Author: the blue shoe
    Game types: Team slayer & CTF
    Status: Final

    Description: Based roughly on Forward unto dawn this gun ship map plays best for team slayer and capture the flag. At the rear of the ship is the attackers home base and flag while the defenders find them selves up front on the landing pad. Separating the two are two levels of tubing and a transition room with ramps. Below the landing pad is a long stretch leading to the lift to top. One teleport to the snipers chamber is found near the rear of the ship and over looks the center hallways and cargo bay.

    Items on map:

    Battle riffle x2
    Sniper riffle x1
    SMG x4
    Plasma riffle x2
    Spiker x2
    Needler x2
    Regen x1
    Bubble shield x1
    Gravity lift x1 ( in addition to man cannon at front of ship)
    Plasma grenades x6
    Spike grenades x4
    Frag grenades x6

    woah i just realized this was a ship.
    one thing i dont like about ship themed levels: you dont have much left to right movement cuz its usually really skinny... i think you should make the top a lot wider so it can give some variety.
    anyhow:
    i really like how you took a ship idea and turned it into a pretty cool gameplay map.
    it seems this would be kinda cool for infection. ill have to try it out ;)

    Whoa the blue is hard to read! Yes it is pretty close quarters fighting with a few open areas. Stupid OLN is maxed out on this one so adding onto it is out. There are plenty of ways to go so even though it is narrow you can find escape routes and come behind your target. thanks for the input and please try it out.

    It looks very clean and realistic. I don't think we ever get to see the inside of the ship in the campaign so I'm sure it was hard to fill it in, but it looks like you pulled it off pretty well. Also, great job on making it actually playable. I'll probably download when I get the mythic maps.

    To be honest I never thought I would post this let alone get a positive response. Thank you for the input on what I considered just a fun map to make, not necessarily play.

    Great job man. This looks really cool. I love the long hallways and the way the walls all join together. It reminds me of Halo 1 ..hah. Very nice map.
