Infection has come to Jurassic Park! Quite a few people were asking me about a Jurassic Park Infection gametype for my other map "Jurassic Park" and it just didn't seem to fit properly on that map. So I present to you "Raptor Pen". This map was a lot of fun to build, partially because it was the first map that I co-forged with weeeeeman. He did the cage outside of the Raptor Pen, the small gate at the back of the map, a few aesthetic details, provided excellent feedback, and made the easter egg screenshot of the Logo!!!
The map is made mainly for Infection, however it is set up for Slayer, CTF, and Strongholds. There is a seperate weapon layout for Infection. I spent a lot of time on the terrain in order to make it flow well with having hills, bushes, trees, and good lines of sight. The Raptor Pen is the Jewel of this map though, looks great with the new textures added to the primatives.
The Maintenance Shed is accessible and you can go in to the generator to "turn the power on"(only turns on lights on the generator). Above the Maintenance Shed there is a switch to open the roof, to provide balance against what could be a powerful holdout area.
The Cave connects under the map and provides fun gameplay and allows for an additional path into the map, but isn't big enough to make you feel separated from the map.
For CTF, Slayer, and Strongholds, I made the weapon layout balanced for both sides and the time to get to the power weapons is the same for team initial spawns. The map was surprisingly more fun than I imagined just doing a FFA with friends.
Jurassic Park Infection was a big part of Reach and Halo 4 and I made this map intending to honor that legacy.
