    Shikari is a symmetrical map, and holds up to 16 players.

    [​IMG]

    When playing a team game, The red and blue teams start on the initial spawning platforms which are to the right and left of the middle section (The two platforms with the pyramids in the picture above). These initial zones are not supposed to be re-entered during the game (Although you can using a jetpack, but it's completely pointless as there is nothing there).

    You use the man cannons to get the middle section where the battle starts.

    From here you can either go to the teleport on the left of the tower, which takes you to the bottom level:

    Or you can go up the lift, (Which is inside the tower, you enter from the right) this takes you to the top level. (See the first image to get a rough idea of top level as i don't have a screenshot of it) The top level is split into two parts. The other part can be reached with a man cannon. The other part is perfect for sniping (Although sniper has not been placed there to save camping).

    The respawn zones have been placed as balanced as possible.

    If you are playing all against all (rumble pit), then there are many neutral initial and respawn zones placed around the map.

    Weapons (How many/Which level they are on):
    Sniper: 1/Top level
    Rocket Launcher: 1/Bottom level
    Sword: 1/Top level
    Concussion rifle: 1/Top
    Needler: 3/ 2 on middle level, 1 on top.
    DMR: 2/ Middle
    Spiker: 1/ Middle
    Shotgun: 2/ Bottom and Middle
    Focus rifle: 1/ Top (Second part)
    Needle rifle: 1/ Bottom
    Grenade Launcher: 1/ Top (Second part)
    Grenades are placed all over the map.
    Magnums: 2/ Middle and Top
    Mounted machine-gun: 1/Top (Second part)
    Plasma turret: 1/ Bottom

    There are 3 health packs, 1 on each level.



    Thanks for reading. If you could give me some feedback that would be awesome :)

    Here is a video of Shikari. (You need Bungie Pro to watch it online or you can download it and watch it on your xbox)

    You finally decided to stop trolling the Bungie.net forums and post this here, huh?

    Also, have you tested this map? I can already see some height advantage issues, along with issues regarding Jetpack becoming an overpowered AA and people hiding in their spawn-rooms.

    I wasn't trolling. I couldn't figure out how to work forge hub until now and i was looking for someone to test this map. I don't see your comments as a problem because most people will want to have a proper game...

    I followed the link from your signature and downloaded this map. I have to say, it looks incredible! I do agree with the comment before about the height advantage issues, however, but the gameplay still flowed well. Great forging and good job!

    Haha ;) The name was actually inspired by the band Enter Shikari. All my maps' names are to do with music - Kobrakai is the name of a lostprophets song. Kotov is inspired by the song Kotov Syndrome by Rise Against. You probably didn't want to know all that.

    The top level is the only place worth going. The bases seem pointless with the fact that there's nothing there. I sincerely doubt this could support 8v8. And one thing I dislike is how you have 3 power weapons on what I consider an ugly top level. They are all incredibly easy to get and promote more top level camping.

    My gamertag name was Shikarix59 Shikari-x-59 but people called me Shikarex so I changed it. My gamertag was also inspired by my favorite band, Enter Shikari ;)
