Cirriform Veil

Extermination

Map Description

  1. NOKYARD
    Cirriform Veil is an Extermination/2v2 map set on the Gondola of Halo 2's Quarantine Zone. It's small and therefore plays very fast for an extremely intense Extermination game. There are several methods to traverse the three levels which may not be apparent at first glance, and there are several alternate clamber routes for brave players.

    Updated 2018-03-16: Added new geometry including 4 additional routes, more cover between sides, a new lift from level 1 to level 3, made use of the bottom level back door.

    The map's description explains the unique setting and structural changes to the Gondola: "The Resistance retrofitted Halo's Gondolas to traverse the skies when they learned Cortana and her Wardens were blind to ancient technology".

    I highly doubt there will be very many tied rounds.

    That's good, not at all a fan of competitive gaming but this map looks like it could be a blast with some friends.

    I have used several elements to give it the appearance of moving. Fog & patchy Cloud movement, Motes, Wind Direction, gigantic conveyor sheaves, and Intro Cinematic all combine to provide a sense of movement. Some players see it, some do not.

    These do not move in Forge mode so you must view in a Custom Game to see the effect.

    Nice! I love the smell of Halo 2 PTSD in the morning.

    Just kidding, it's the Regret ones that I'm most afraid of.

    I don't have any. There may be some from the judges. The floating rings are a bit broken now and will be fixed in a few days.

    I do indeed :D. Since I have approximately 220 custom maps bookmarked, and at one point I had over 420+ maps (I've done some purging), I therefore really want to get a good sense of the map before deciding to add it to my bookmarks for trying out or for keeping permanently because in all honesty it can be a bit burdensome to find what I'm looking for sometimes; especially, when Halo's servers get screwy.
