Map Description

  1. DU3L MAUL3RS
    NOW IN ACTION SACK! (check out the Matchmaking Update for the 343 Featured version info)

    (Be sure to check the videos below!)
    Freight is a inversely-symmetrical competitive map themed after a UNSC Freighter (check out the map description for some halo 3 map lore!). I wanted to make a map which felt like a Halo 3 Foundry map but with a fresh and aesthetically pleasing design and that makes the most out of Halo 5s flow and physics.

    One of Freight's iconic features is a pair of cranes scripted to raise and lower cargo containers as elevators, which will crush you if you stand under them when they lower! (see 0:54 of "Freight Final Release Trailer" attached)

    The map has a variety of sweet skill jumps utilizing the clamber ability, but if leaping into the frey doesn't suit you, there are still plenty of ground routes to fit your playstyle.

    The map has been playtested for and supports 4v4-8v8 Team/FFA Slayer, 2 Flag CTF, Strongholds, and Breakout.

    YouTube Videos:


    "Freight Final Release Trailer" is my original release trailer with a compilation of clips for the map.


    "Monitor's Bounty Update Walkthrough" is a walkthrough/gameplay made and featured by 343 hosted by 343's Forge Lead Tom French! (The coverage of Freight begins at 7:12) This showcases the updated version worked on by Tom and his team which is featured in the Action Sack playlist playing a new KOTH gamemode 'Diminishing King'

    While I am the only Author/Forger for this map, I was very fortunate to have an awesome playtest and feedback group! So here is a shout-out to the people who without their help Freight would not be what it is today:

    10/5,
    Sorry for the late review, but I've finally gotten around to viewing the actual post on 4chub.

    First I'd like to say that this map plays exceptionally well for slayer, but the map really shines with the strongholds or capture the flag gametypes. I've had multiple play sessions on a variety of game modes and even the few where my team was getting blown out of the water, it was a blast to play on.

    Im glad you finally figured out how to ensure that players would be crushed by the crates that raise and lower. This is just a little detail that improves the map overall.

    This is still one of my favorite maps to play in custom games and I'd suggest it to anybody and everybody.

    Ps: I like how you implemented the combat evolved rocket launcher trick (even if I'm too bad to be able to perform it in game) ;)

    Sorry 343 and :hot: Certain Screenlag...you've been outdone. Dual Mauler officially holds the title for having the most crates on a map.

    By the way... There is a hidden Easter Egg (for fun only) on this map! It is only discoverable in Custom Games. I scripted it to remove itself if loaded in Forge (cheat blocked) o_O Let's see who finds it first!
    Ready....
    Set....
    GO!!!

    Easily the best looking map I've seen yet, in my opinion. I love it.

    This map really does look great. I will give more feedback once we get to play test it in game.

    Actually I was gonna say it would be cool to clear the deck and have a racetrack on scaffolding around the boat and out onto a dock and back again onto a track on the boat deck. It would be really cool to do a scaled Pit remake out of crates on the boat (bases closest toward the front and rear). I measured it and it would fit.

    Both cool ideas! I plan on making a canvas version of the map (current one was saved while making Skylark) but once I re-clear it again I will put in the description that people can feel free to use it as a canvas. I'll post it here on Forgehub once I do.
