    I really looking forward to see this one in action. It is combination of The Pit and Construct. I took best parts of those maps and forged them into one.

    There are three or four levels on this map, depending how calculated. The middle level plays like center of the pit. Long corridors and so on. Lower and higher levels are connected with ramps and a man cannon, like in the construct.

    Since the "temple" floats in the sky, I decided to add banshee and, to destroy it, missile pod.

    Variant supports Slayer, Oddball, Assault, VIP (no destinations ), Juggernaut (no destinations), King of the Hill and Infection.

    Original map: sandbox
    Miscellaneous Map Descriptions:
    symmetrical
    tactical
    floating

    Weapons of war:
    Banshee
    6 x BRs
    2 x Maulers
    2 x Shotguns
    2 x Sniper Rifles
    2 x Needlers
    2 x Brute Shots
    Energy Sword
    Gravity Hammer
    Rocket Launcher
    Missile Pod
    2 x Regenerators
    Bubbleshield
    Energydrainer
    Active Camo
    Overshields

    Comments, please!
    If one of you play this with your folks, I would be eager to watch replay.

    I tried to delete this (put up a new thread to competitive section), but to be honest, I don´t know how. I tried edit button, but could´t find delete. Lame.

    Yer they make it so people can't delete stuff because then there would be people when the post a map the delete it, but it still leaves a thread so only moderators can delete stuff.

    BTW it's a pretty nice map just have to touch it up here and there

    This is a really nice map I think. I like the layout design a lot. I think this is what Bungie wishes it had made with the Pit, or especially with Construct. I mean Construct's layout is tragic lol. Its a triangle, and the only way to get to the triangle is through three very camp-able lifts.

    The bottom of Construct might as well not exist. It could just have that center bottom room for the losing team to go up the lifts. Of course they would probably rather stay down there since they know the other team would be above camping the lifts....

    The Pit is a decent map though, but it could be a lot better I think.

    I DO think you need to move the invisibility or missile pod somewhere else. An invisible guy with a missile gives the Banshee no chance, and the Banshee shouldn't be overly powerful on this map since 3/4 of it is inside itself kind of.

    I would reduce the Banshee's spawn time too.

    Also replace the missile pod with a laser. Missile pods are just way too easy to use to take out vehicles. Lasers are even too easy for taking out vehicles lol.


    The only bad things I saw was the missile pod being right beside the invisibility, and in a couple of spots the map is really bumpy, but I can't stand taking forever to smooth out stuff perfectly either, so I understand that.


    I would move the cloaking and missile pod apart, and change the missile pod to a laser. And I would get rid of equipment except maybe gravlifts or mines because the other equipment sucks and is really gay. I mean some is useful like the power drain is very useful for me, but its just really dumb so I would never put a power drain on my maps even though I would get kills with it. Thats a personal preference though, if you love equipment keep it if you want lol.

    Thank you :D
    Yeah the bumpyness of this map is irritating, but I don´t have time and energy to fix that.

    I accidentally made this thread to casual forums. The "real" one is on competitive side.
    Here

    Check out the final version.
