BOARDING BATTLE Created by ST RIOT Supported Gametypes: Bomb, King, Slayer - Recommend King of the Hill! Map Description This is a sequel to Halo 1's boarding action. I wanted to remake Boarding Action, but I am sure it has been done and I ended up making the entire ship instead. Granted, they are dinky and horrifically ugly little ships, but hey. The air vehicles instantly respawn to keep the action going, but the shipboard turrets (scorpion and gauss) take a long time to respawn. The weapon set is heavy on anti vehicle stuff. The best gametypes are king and assault. The hill is the airspace between the two ships, and air-based king of the hill has been fun. Assault requires a more teamwork, as the only way to get the bomb over there is to safely transport the bomber on a hornet. Each ship is fairly tough to breach. All crew areas are shielded, and there is no easy way to get into the ship just by landing a vehicle on top of it. There is an access hatch consisting of a grav lift and shield door, which makes it impossible to enter from the top without someone inside destroying the grav lift. This is a good bomb strategy, only the bomber is pretty vulnerable while hanging out topside. The three other points of entry are the hangar bay and the two cargo doors on either side. You can also torpedo the engines and blow them up! Which does nothing. Red ship hangar bay Both ships Cargo bay and hatch Airspace hill This is a map I made before I learned how to interlock. Its a little bumpy as a result, but its not a serious map anyway and I am not going to devote any more time to it. With a lot of people it gets pretty hectic in the middle, I just dont have any pictures of that. Download Boarding Battle
Pretty sick looking ships, i like how it's like your launching from the front of the ship, i think iv seen that style on a game b4 but i forgot which one. Anyway it looks pretty cool but how close are the ships from the pics they look really close making the air battles not in wide range. No one will go that far away because the ships are like right next to each other. But still great map clean looking and creative havn't seen ships built like this b4.
The ships have an approximately equal buffer of empty space all the way around each of them, meaning twice the empty space in the middle.
Wow this actually looks pretty fun. I've seen a lot of maps like it but this is the first one that actually shows some potential! I love the idea of having the shield door and grav lift at the entrance on the top of each ship, that means that the assault games would require a lot of team work. and the KoTH version seems hectic as! I'm gunna DL this and try it out this weekend.
Ah sweet I allways liked boarding action and just to clarify yes there has been a boarding action remake but no a good one shame you didn't do that Also if you were going to change anything i would recommend shortening the space in between the 2 ships Anyways cool map i like it
