I present to you my first Forge Hub map, Scepter. This is a skybubble map created specifically for FFA (BR's reccomended), 2v2, and team oddball. 3v3 works too, but the map gets a little crowded. Story: After the Covenant war, the few remaining humans decide to take refuge on a small planet that once was a thriving ancient civilization. They come back, only to see the ancient pyramids in ruins, utterly destroyed by the Covenant. They start to reconstruct what once was a wonder - only to find out that they did not have enough food. Wars erupted, and you, a human civilian, must fight for his life. Kill, or die. Weapons: Power Weapons: -Shotgun: 1 -Beam Rifle: 1 -Fuel Rod Cannon: 1 (Only one clip, this was made to balance out the beam rifle.) Other Weapons: -Battle Rifle: 3 -SMG: 2 -Brute Shot: 1 -Mauler: 1 Grenades: -Fragmentation: 5 -Plasma: 4 -Firebomb: 2 Equipment: -Bubble Shield: 1 -Power Drain: 1 -Trip Mine: 1 -Regenerator: 1 Power-ups: -Active Camo: 1 -Overshield:1 Pictures: The under-construction pyramid, also one of the starting bases for team slayer. The front door is a shield door. Expect many close-range battles here. The center, where the active camo spawns. There is a lot of cover from the beam rifle here. The tower, the other base for team slayer. A multi-level building complete with a roof made specifically for the sniper. The Beam Rifle spawn, a raised up platform made for getting a vantage point of the entire map. The best parts of the map: -Inside the pyramid: There are many exciting battles occurring in here, and the 3 entrances make for a very busy area of the map. -The Beam Rifle bridge: A lot of fun sniping happens here, with usually a few people on you at once. You'll try to snipe someone and you'll get flanked by the teleporter. Final notes: -There are teleporters linking both sides of the map. There is a huge advantage of using these to flank your enemy, but also a disadvantage - Sometimes you will get sent to the fuel rod spawn, a wide open area with no cover, and only one way back. (As Runic Aries called it, the 'hallway of death.' ) -Expect camping where the beam rifle spawns, but my friends and I all agree that makes the map better. -This map shines if you use BR's, using long and short range combat. -Have fun on Scepter!
This looks like a pretty fun map, very good for 2v2 and i am a big fan of 2v2. The map looks scruffy in places from the pictures but overall looks like an alright map and a good first post on here, 7/10.
Thank you for your criticism, Prodigious. I love 2v2 also. In fact, I made this map with 2v2 in mind. Could you elaborate on where the map looks scruffy? I will try to fix it, but the problem is I hit item limit =/ Do I get a dl from you?
I assume your asking what the half wall is covering, which is a receiver node. I only put it there the give a little bit of cover to the fuel rodder, and so you can't get killed the second you walk through the teleporter.
Hey Regal I finally created my own Forge Hub account. I'm going to download your map and check it out, and I'll tell you if there's any obvious mistakes. You did do a very good job of describing the map though lol, its pretty lengthy description..
The map look to open , just but so bloc . But the wood bridge on the picture with the second base ARE very cool . Good job 4/5
The middle area and bases are not very open, but the other areas are. This is to counter the advantage of power weapons spawning there. If your talking about the scaffolding yeah that looks pretty cool but its not that hard to make. Thank you for your post!
this map is very big and may require a transport hornet or mongoose, but i do like the layed back style of the map you built, most users have problems of making the map have to many walkways and such and they forget that halo has jumping power. congrats on a great map. 5/5
To your first point, a mongoose wouldn't be very useful here, the only place it would be drivable would be the middle area, where there would be a lot of obstacles. A transport hornet might work out, I'll have to do some tests if I'm going to implement it. And yes, the map is very layed back it's very unsymmetrical, but its a lot of fun for custom game FFA or 2v2. Thanks for the rating I hope I got a dl from you!
