    Map Title: The Castle

    The Castle once fended off against knights in shining armour, but now it fends off against a different kind of warrior...

    Download Map

    Description:

    The Castle is an asymmetrical map, and its theme is a castle under attack from the outer camps.
    There are always at least two entrances to an area within the castle, so camping isn't very
    easy to pull off. Plus, after about two minutes into the game, man cannons will appear facing
    upwards at the base of the castle wall so progress can be made in the raid. Turrets will also
    appear on the castle walls to counter the advantage that the attackers may have gained from
    the man cannons. Within the castle there are four basic levels: The ground floor, the main floor,
    the walls, and the sniping platform. The smaller castle has 3 levels as well, and has two bridges
    extending to the main castle.

    -This should work on all gametypes
    -Infection works especially well

    This is the main Castle.

    This is the smaller Castle, which connects to the main one with 2 bridges (on separate levels).

    [​IMG]
    This is one of the camps where the attackers spawn from.

    This is the other camp.

    This shows the area in between the camps and the Castle, and that there's a Rocket Launcher in the middle. There is also some cover on the sides so people walking to the Castle won't be killed as easily.

    What About the Weapons?

    -Each outside base (which are set up kind of like camps) have a turret, a sword, a needler, SMG's, a Sniper, and a Battle Rifle
    -The Castle has a Sniper on the top platform, a Spartan Laser on the bridge, and a shotgun in the lower level of the castle
    -There is one Rocket Launcher in the middle

    This is my first post on Forge Hub, and I've seen and played the great maps that you guys can make, so I hope that mine will be up to par. So please, take the time to check it out, rate it, and possibly leave a message. Thanks!

    Thanks for the warm welcome. :)

    You're pretty much right about it being like a fort more than a castle, but it's named The Castle because when I first imagined it before making it I was thinking of a castle, but it kind of shaped up that way, so I guess the name just kind of stayed.

    Welcome! I hope your stay here is a happy one! The map looks good. I like how you used the window panels. It looks like you know some Forging Techniques like interlocking. I like the maps overall concept too.

    Thanks to you for the welcome as well, and for the compliments. If you've tried the map, can you leave some feedback on it, like what to improve on or remove, etc? Don't forget to also leave a comment on Bungie.net, heheh.
