Odejoy

History​

This map has been redone on countless occasions. I originally made this layout in 2004 on a game called “Cube”. I re made it in the next version of the game called Sauerbraten a bunch and it became this : http://quadropolis.us/node/589
When I got Halo 3 originally I made a pretty bad remake of the map, but my friend Backwards Logic liked the layout some what, and decided to make his own version of the layout. His version of the map was called Promenade. It can be found here http://www.forgehub.com/forum/competitive-maps/14917-promenade.html​

So I then decided to once and for all make the layout more similar to the Sauerbraten version, but keep it less narrow and incorporate some of the Halo 3 versions features. I called it Odejoy after Beethoven's piece Ode to Joy. I just called it Odejoy, because you couldn't have any spaces in the name, so I made it just one word. ​

Summary​

This is a good asymmetrical slayer map, that can also work on team slayer as well. I recommend using DMR starts. It works well for roughly 4 to 12 players. ​

Conclusion​

Well I hope you guys enjoy this map, I've spent a lot of time working on it and trying to perfect it. Tell me what you think, and hopefully you'll play it more then once.​

 

Wow, that's cool, I never heard of the testers guild. I think it's a bit too late for that now, but I'll definitely keep that in mind if I ever make any future creations. That sounds really neat though.

Sorry I didn't think of using action shots, I have played it with friends before thuogh. It seems a little too late now as well though, I could just edit the post but then I'd have to watch a video, find interesting angles of battle, put it into my file share, save the photo off bungie.net, then put it on photobucket, then put new links up. I'd do this originally, but after I already made the effort to post these pics up I'm not as compelled to. This map is a good free for all slayer map, and you should test it out with a few friends; I think maps are often times critized too much based on just screenshots.

Thanks alot for the kind words and critiques, I hope you try this map with 4 to 12 friends on slayer and enjoy it! It may take more then one round to really get the feel of it though.
