Colosseum (A great and authentic Coliseum/Arena remake) And Yes this is also posted on Casual maps, Its just really its both a remake and a fun slayer map, and i got a few requests to put it in here so I did. Before you leave this thread without checking it out, thanks to my wall of text, look at the pictures, i guarantee it'll be worth the 30 seconds of your life, and who knows? maybe it might get you to read up on it :] This map also so far has 860 downloads : ) The first thing that hit him, when the large steel gates in front of him rose upward, was the sound. The circular area was packed with what looked like every citizen of the city, and many merchants and traders just arrived in town. When he stepped out of the shadows and into the bright sunlight of the afternoon the wave of noise hit him like a hammer. Every one of the 10,000 that lined the stands was on their feet, stamping, shouting, some just making unrecognizable noises, all the sounds mashed together into a wall of white noise. That all changed when he emerged from the short tunnel and entered the area. On the opposite side another gate, identical to his had risen, and from the dark depths his opponent stepped out. They glanced at one another and their eyes met. Cold and calculating they studied each other, looking for fear, doubt, and cruelty, neither of them had mercy. In that second they locked eyes, the sound changed. From noise it became quiet, then slowly a chant emerged. "Spar-tan" "Spar-tan" "Spar-tan" on and on the crowd chanted, the one word quickly taken up by everyone, the one name of the favorite, the name of a hero, a gladiator, a Spartan... Hey there, this is my map Coliseum, it has 201 downloads so far : ] Its based on the old Roman Coliseum's, that back then were used for holding chariot races, competitions of the bow, speed, fist fighting, and it was the home of the Gladiators. I watched the movie Gladiator last week, great movie, and decided that with the new resources sandbox provides, i should take a crack at building something like that. So I did, and it wasn't easy, getting it circular and interlocking the stands was hard, but I did it and here it is. Now I'll tell you a bit about the map. This map is much more of a fun, maybe 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 battle with your friends kind of thing, since it involves a bit of honor and being fair. It also though can be good for competitive 1 vs 1 clan/group type things, since the map is very open it requires skill, no using the map to your advantage except for maybe jumping behind a column to avoid gunfire, but for the most part its just you and your guns. The map has 2 spawn zones, one underground and one in the sky bubble, at both are a small selection of weapons and equipment. Both are neutral spawns, although they can of course just be easily changed for team slayer. This is a slayer only map, its too small for anything else. Anyway now here's a run down of whats on it. Each spawn zone has the following: 1 sword 1 shotgun 1 sniper 1 bean rifle 1 BR 1 carbine 2 SMG'S 1 plasma rifle 1 plasma pistol 1 mauler 1 needler 1 bruteshot 1 bubble shield 1 power drain 1 re generator 1 flare Anyway now here's some pic's: Overview Blue Stands Over View 2 Anyway there you go, that's my map, I hope you enjoy it and also, to get into the stands for if there's spectators, just forge the map quickly and put in a few grav lifts, its pretty easy : ] Oh and here's the link to the map on Bungie: Coliseum Download Well there you are. Fight like Champions, live like heroes, die like Gladiators. Have fun.
Not too bad, I gave it a run through.. I like the idea as well. No one here needs a history lesson though, Blood can make the colesseum with horns comming out of the sides if he wanted.. Thats the nature of forge.. good job.
Wow man this is an amazing and cool looking coliseum! It looks like it should be in the ascetics section! Anyway I'll download and check it out. Keep up the awesome forging!
Damn dude. I am testing my map named coliseum tomorrow, And I would post is soon after. This one Is pretty good though. I think that it was made for aesthetics though. It looks pretty good. I just don't see how this could be a slayer map or anything. Interlocking is smooth and looks experienced. I think it could be a bit better as far as how clustered it is. 3/5 (btw you spelled it "Colesseum". That's wrong. It's coliseum.
thanks and it is in the aesthetic section btw, and its really just for fun 1 vs 1 slayer matches and no i dident, there's 2 different spellings of the word, look it up. oh lol, but i did miss out an o instead of an e but oh well, its a name man.
The fact that "SPARTANS" will be playing here seems fitting. Is this a joke? The map is well done as well, For Your Information. Good job.
ha i don't think spartans actually fought in the colesseum they died out before the coleseum was built but anyway great map but i don't see any spawn points on the bottom picture but i see the grid
lol, guys, I'm talking about UNSC Spartans, aka, are players, just to clear that up. and yeah you wont, you spawn either in the crypt or the sky bubble, select your weapons then enter the Coliseum via tele
Hmm... nearly 300 downloads so far, not bad. and i still need more input and ideas guys, I'm going to try and make a V2 soon though, so all the comments would be helpful.
You know I really like the design of this map better than any other colosseum map. However, the seating looks awkward due to the gold on one side and the stone on the other. Maybe you can alternate stone and brick for the seating (or maybe that will look more awkward...
Prety cool. Is there spawn points in the stands? I like how you can choose your wepon although most people are just going to choose the stronger ones. Oh and by the way last picture is down.
Romans fought there, not spartans anyway it's a really good looking map, perfect for smaller games, and it also leaves new opportunities to people who want to make little changes to it to mix up gameplay, I like it
Yeah it was the Romans who fought there, and thanks. I tried to make it as changeable as possible so people could do some interesting stuff with it.
Not a bad level at all. I might just use this concept to create my own sandbox colosseum map. I'd recommend swords for this, though.
looks really nice, i could see infection on this map (infected = lion) i'l have to download and check it out. keep up the good forging.
Wow that's sweet! No offense to Foundry colesseums, but this looks much better than the foundry ones. And yay, weapons! More than just 2 stickies. Gameplay- 10/10 Aesthetics- 8/10 Playability- 10/10 Overall- 9.8/10
