    Map Description
    Most of us have all played the game "Halo on Halo", the first time i played the game i decided to make a new updated version with some of my own add-ons to the track. This has been finished for quite a long time, I have just been plaing in small games of 4-8 people (all thats really allowed for the lack of more than 8 mongeese) but since Map variants for the game have been posted here recently i decided to post mine just to give some new ideas for the map.



    Spawn point for humans Killball for eye appeal

    You cannot camp the cannons... well you can but its not a great spot

    Teleporter to kill Sniper

    The Bridge- The Bridge is underneath the death barrier. The Blockes underneath the pallets are exactly where you fall to your death. the raised pallets give a bridge over the death area. when those are destroyed or your any part of your mongoose touches the block you die. the zombie can destroy the pallets, but it then gives the humans the time to get farther up the track before the zombie is finished destroying the bridge (also why there is no rocket on the map)

    Checkpoint system- Basic. The teleporters block of seperate portions of the track. the teleporters lead back to the spawn into a reciever. you CAN block this teleporter but it is in the sight of the sniper so its not recomended.

    Wow a really new and different take on Halo on Halo. I say kudos to you!. This is one of the most different and more fun Halo on Halo maps. The obstacles, the swerve, bridge, and so on. But I do have a question, since there are checkpoints I am guessing the humans get more than one life? Anyway the map looks and feels great since im wirtting this as I am playing your map. lol

    nope, the humans still get only one life. The checkpoint system is just to avoid those annoying players who run the track.. aswell if you flip off your mongoose it gives an easy route back to the spawn to get a new mongoose, instead of running all the way back.

    Haha thank you and yes i have gotten a few complaints that the original halo was much better because it was lacking forgeing. I agree mines almost to forged out in comparison.

    Needs moar moguls. and maybe a jump or two. to be honest, I would just say to expand the walking portion, and make it just a wee bit more challenging then a room of balls. other than that, awesome map.

    Reason why I liked the original Halo map was that you could make it around the track without slowing down or stopping. Original Halo had it's flaws, though.

    The mistakes many people make when making new variants...
    - track is way too long
    - sharp turns corners
    - tube pieces especially tube corners
    - adding rockets to their game type
    - allowing the zombie to commit suicide either by poorly made sniper towers or rockets
