I've made this map for the Pillar Punch contest, but I'm putting it here so I can get some constructive criticism to make it better. Story: Thousands of years ago, a race of aliens called the Forerunners were at war with a parasite called the Flood. The Forerunners were greatly more advanced than us at the time of they're struggle and build enormous Weapons of Mass Destruction, this station is one example. Discovered on a planet near the outer edge of the galaxy, this weapon has the capability to destroy entire planets. Covenant forces had been attempting to re-activate the computer to take out an armada of UNSC Destroyers. A strike team of UNSC soldiers under the commander of a Spartan III, engaged the Covenant and managed to disarm the cannon, but many were lost, the Spartan III was one of them. I've got a lot of pictures. Can you guys think of a name for this map too? I'm trying to figure out something pretty cool. I encourage you to downloaded it and try it out, and helpful ideas would be great. I'll be adding some more game-types later. Headhunter, Stockpile and such.

looks alot like The Cage, sorry if i'm wrong, but it looks like you just added a couple of things to The Cage. EDIT: sorry, i took a better look at it and i guess i was wrong, sorry great map, it looks ALOT like it, but now i see the differences.
I'd agree with you, Zakrox. It does look like The Cage, which isn't a very good thing, because the cage is arguably Bungie's only bad map. However, The essential difference meaning he built this all on his own is the location. The cage is floating off in the wild blue yonder, while this is at the pillar. Sorry, but I can't offer a real improvement. I'd scrap this and start over, or at least reincarnate it into a different map. But if you want to win a contest, you have to think outside the box. You have to be creative. A real winner would be a structure ranging all around the pillar while remaining entirely indoors, with the exeption of the pillar's peak, which could have a structure on it.
Well, personally I agree and disagree. I did make this map a while ago, before I even new about this contest so nothing is really special. On the other hand, it doesn't really look like the cage at all. The cage is a map with multiple floors, this is all multiple walkways. The only thing that sort of seams like the cage would be the Cannon man... Because it's a cannon man. And I did already start a map that is indoors.
this map has too many walkways and is too open...it kinda reminds me of one of the default maps...but Im not sure if its the cage or not...
I thought it looked like a really cool way to use the Spire. I haven't seen many maps built in this area, but this is the most unique of those that I have seen. What's with the haters? You've got my download, man.
I'm with Weremidget, this map looks might spiffy, although I did have my doubts at first at what it was supposed to be. I'll definately give it a download and a run-through. Oh, and if you wanted a new name, I thought of one; since it's based around a cannon-like weapon of some sort, why not call it War Machine?
Thanks for the idea. I'm going to wait before I actually some up with one though. And by the way, nice Sig Weremidget. PS. It's actually not that open. I've placed cover on the long walkways, but you could easily sprint to another cover if you are being pounded on.
