    you and your 6 man team have been sent on a mission, a mission of extreame secrecy and stealth. one of whic no other unsc forces know about, so dont think about getting re-enforcements. your team has been successfully chosen to infiltrait a forerunner construct, plant a homing beacon, and wait for evac from Flight Officer Captain Carol Rawlry, call sign; foehammer, and her pelican echo419.the planet that you are about to land on has a history of bizzar weather occurances, such as blizzards in the desert. our AI's tell us that there has been some wierd activity going on down there as well, just like the rest of this god forsaken star system, there have been reports of the flood. with nothing to consume down there but the native species, kangaroos, you can expect the marsupials to be infected and out hunting. all forms of forerunner defenses have been neutralized Graveminds own special forces, infected 'Lekgolo', more commonly reffered to as hunters. ODST's it's up to you to retrieve the data in this forerunner stucter, your date of deployment is september 22 2009, prepare to drop
    Description​
    i thought of the ieda for this map while wondering what the nova filter could be used for, it makes everythinng negative and blurry, so i thought a nighttime blizzard theme work work, you play as an ODST and you must get your captain to the forerunner structure. there are multiple ways to do this, but only one is possible at a time, because the way is randomized to implement the confusion of being lost in a blizzard on an alien planet. you must make it to the structure, follow a series of nav points to the data. then you must fight your way out of the structure, back through the blizzard and back to the pelican, which will be waiting for you. the game will play like odst escort, but with a cave freaks/fave creeks twist of win sauce. at one of the ways to the structure, there is a landslide, where explosives get blown u pat approx. 2 min into the game, to clear the path. this is used as a regulator to keep all paths reletively the same length.

    at the beggining of the round, the ODST players will drop down onto the planets surface from the darkness, in thier individual droppods of course. at one min in, the infected kangaroos will be able to get to the map, they are black in colour, have slightly higher damage resistance than normal and are a little faster,/ jump a little higher, because afterall, they are kangaroos :) the forerunner stucture is actually a big front door, tele linked by a 2way door tele, that takes you to an underground volcano, which explains why the visibility down there is so low as well. you will have to fight your way to the bottom room, get the checkpoint and fight your way back up, all the while when the kangaroos are waiting in ambush... when you get back from underground, you will need to fight all the way back to the pelican, wich will be suspended in the air and will have a grav lift going up to it, both spawning at 3min in.teams are 6v6 for maximum fun, can be as low as 4v4 tho, if there is a shortage of players for some reason.
    thats my idea for now, some of you may be thinking; pinohkio, you just posted a preview two day ago why another so soon?
    the answer is that when i posted the other preview, it was all done except for spawns, and my posting of this means that the basic spawns are done, i just need to test and tweak them. then it will be ready for a post, hopefully on or before this moday (labour day)

    tell me what you think of this idea, i have a sketch done up on a piece of paper, and ill scan and upload it tomorrow, when my parents arnt asleep, because my scanner is RLY loud :). anyway, tell me what you think, the effects used for the blizzard are "nova", "old timey", and maybe "colour blind" depends onj how it looks, this version is set up for sandbox, bbut i will have one done up on avalance eventually.

    Im pretty sure when i was reading on Halopedia that it says that hunters cannot be infected by flood, as they have no heart or brain, i think. But maybe you could state that this new species of flood are much more advanced and smarter and can infect hunters...

    I like your idea PM my gamertag i'd like to test this map when its ready!
