“BTB Heavies or Warzone Objective?”
This gigantic forerunner island was designed to scratch a particular BTB itch that began back in Halo PC. The main inspirations for the size and layout were Death Island and Infinity, but you should definitely see elements from Assault on the Control Room and The Great Journey. The red and blue wing bases on the beach were inspired by Waterworks. This secluded island represents the unseen Delta Halo cartographer and the years-old remains of the battle for literal map control.
"Go big, or go home.”
I designed this map with several goals in mind:
- Everything is permitted. Traverse the map in any way you want. There are no barriers our boundaries that you must stay within.
- Teleporter emphasis. The bottom mid has one-way teleporter exits that can become two-way entrances when the bottom bridge switch is pressed. You'll know it's on if it lights up and the forerunner beam is visible.
- Vehicle maneuverability. Too many BTB maps don't give tanks enough room. On Memento Mori, the tanks can go almost anywhere and the wasp can fly inside the bases. Do what's necessary to beat your opponents.
- Spartan routes. Teleport, mancannon, or clamber to get where you need to go. If you want to get on top, there are six possible ways. Use them, they're there so you can make a bold push with your team.
- Playstyle options. There's no wrong way to play this map. If you want to control the bridge all game, that's absolutely fine. If you want to grab vehicles and secure the outer parts, that's good too. My advice? Just be aggressive. The bases are more open than they look.
- Vehicle diversity. I have a two types of tanks, two types of flyers, and two types of warthogs. Enjoy them to the fullest, or shut them all down with the grenade launcher, rockets, or your favorite boarding action.
- Lots of game modes. CTF, Slayer, Assault, Strongholds and even Rocket Race by AnonFriction. Pick your favorite.
