CavernLava filled cavern to test even the best survivors.
Overview
Cavern is 8-16 player mini-game forged by myself ScaredHitman086. It is large circular cavern stocked with standard warthogs. At the beginning of a round, the survivors get into the warthogs and drive around the cavern to avoid the Alpha zombie's attacks. One Alpha zombie(deathless) is spawned in the middle of the map at the beginning of a round with no other infected. He is equipped with a plasma caster and plentiful splinter grenades(as well as some plasma grenades). As he eliminates survivors, they become "Swordrunners" and aid in the elimination of humans. These "Swordrunners" are very fast and equipped with an energy sword as well as a frag grenade. The humans have 3 minutes to survive. Please note the S.A.W info below in red

So far the feedback from friends and randoms has been good so I hope others enjoy.
Map Design
This map has been a pleasure to forge and exposed many glitches within Halo 5 forge(I will get into that later). Many designs within the map are subject to change.
(Ex. In the human spawn areas, a timer kill zone eliminates inactive players and forces players to leave spawn and enter the cavern. Some people have commented there is not enough time to leave the kill zone. I will move to fix it if it becomes a constant issue.)
Driving Surface and Lava
The map has a smooth curved stone wall for the warthogs to drive on. It has two "levels." Players can move between each level with ease when going at top speed. This allows for effective dodging of grenades and plasma caster shots with some risk.
The lava is largely created using Forgehub's tutorial. However it required color changes to best replicate lava in this map(this map uses the gloom map effect affecting the representation of colors). The lava sound effect and bubbling water sound really brings the lava alive.
*And I did not include fire in the lava, otherwise the map FX would have s@#t the bed
The S.A.W
The S.A.W, or S@#t A$$ Wreckage, is a sweet surprise for surviving spartans. With approximately 30 seconds left in a round, a "SAW" spawns. It is a SAW combined with a plasma caster. It has devastating effects to spice things up a bit using the new weapon combining "glitch."
*is it even a glitch

Notes
This map is in its early stages and needs feedback so it would be much appreciated. Gamemode changes will be made as needed. Lighting can be glitchy, the lightmap is around 108% in forge.
GLITCHES IN FORGE!!!!!!!
Not a rant just wanted to point out a few things. Gobo effects produced from lights are not seen from far away. So the "cloud" effect illuminating the lava on this map is only visible up close. Maybe it is just the lightmap being weird but this proved to be very annoying. The lava looks calm and still at a distance.
The lanterns are also weird at times.
Chromas also become weird looking in custom games if placed in a certain way I don't even know how to explain it.
