    Bioshift is a fast 1v1 map that's widely inspired by many Quake maps such as Aerowalk, Hektik, and Toxicity. When it came to game flow, I wanted it to play like Damnation from Halo:CE. The weapons and powerups very on each level, and you have to constantly move up and down to grab them before your opponent does. The flow of the map boils down to guessing where you opponent is and where they will spawn. Erupt and I have played so many games that we counter and spawn kill so many times. A little note is to notice a blue and teal floating box in Mid and Top ledge. They are senders that lead to risky areas. Ye be warned. What I think is the greatest portion of the map is the "goo" pit. It's a big green pit that acts has a liquid that lets you float and dunk underneath a wall/window. The inside of the pit is exposed with a giant window that is exposed to a big portion of the map. It's an interesting way on finding your opponent.

    I have also made a special gametype that isn't fully needed to play, it's just an extra add on to make a faster game and crouch jumping spots easier. Any settings I don't mention will be default. The game can be played with default settings. The choice is yours.

    Anyone is free to add me and play to your hearts content.

    I give a huge thanks to all of the people that have played games to test and give ideas on things to fix. Erupt is the one who helped the most and played the most games. He pushed the idea and some esthetics and it was pretty much him who came up with the idea of a giant "goo" pit. I wouldn't be surprised if we say it was a co-forge since he did around 25% of the work. Thanks for all the help buddy :) I still give thanks to Ace, Xandrith, and IrontMesdents. You guys played and gave ideas on how to make the map better. This map wouldn't be where it is now if it wasn't for all the people. <3

    Youtube upload was low quality. Here's a last minute win for Erupt. ;)

    best map in h5

    10/5,
    Gonna go ahead and throw my review in here as quickly as I can just so everyone is aware of how great of a 1v1 experience this is so that it gets the attention it deserves.

    I've been essentially a 1v1 exclusive player and forger since early on in Halo: Reach until now, and Bioshift is probably my favorite map I've played on in that time.

    It plays a fast pace but offers enough room that a match on this map is almost as much of a thinking game on how to outmaneuver your opponent than it is a game of pure gunskill. Whether it be flanking or escaping with the teleporter system, trying to trap your opponent off spawn, or setting up on the upper walkway getting ready to teleport into the very risky overshield hallway, you have to be on your toes at all times.

    The fluidity with which uncommon things like the goo pit and the top to bottom teleporter are integrated into the design make them feel like an essential part of the map rather than a gimmick of their own.

    Really, I can't say enough about all of the amazing little nuances Longshot has worked into this design or I'd be typing for much too long, so just give it a try yourself.

    I been wanting to jump on the map and play a few games. Glad to see this released. Quick question does the map still function under normal H5 gameplay, Because I noticed your using some different settings for your 1v1. Hopefully I can get some games on this and if need I will leave any feedback I can

    Yeah, it can still function with regular settings. There's some ledges you'll have to clamber on while the settings I use lets you crouch jump up instead and save time. If anything you or I could add each other on Xbox and get some games in :)

    Played a few games of this last night. It was really fun. The goo pit really surprised me on how well traversing it flowed with the map

    hey glad it played well for you :) The goo pit was kinda a random idea since I didnt really know what to do with that area of the map just yet. Turned out really fun, and makes interesting interactions.

    I played some more games on Bioshift and I think it would be best for you to move the sniper rifle spawn. Having it in that high position that close to the teleporter to overshield led to a lot of tests to snowball. I'd recommend moving it to a lower level, so players would have to fight back up to the top after getting the sniper.
