This is my first forged map. X-Tension was designed to allow for highly competitive play. It incorporates multiple strategies for the most popular gametypes, it has tactical jumps, and it includes some of the most popular weapons of Halo 3. I specifically had competitive team playing in mind while making this map, which means I didn't include any assault rifles: only BR's. I modeled the grenades and weapons off of MLG maps, of which I am a big fan. Weapons include - - 2x Battle Rifles - 2x Maulers - 1 Sniper Rifle - 4x Plasma Grenades - 8x Frag Grenades Equipment includes - - Bubble shield - 2x Gravity Lifts Powerups - - OverShield Some strategies include: - If done correctly, the flag on CTF can be captured using an incredibly simple strategy. Halo 2 players may recognize its similarity to the beaver creek CTF trick: Jump off of a base with the flag towards the OS side, and head for the teleporter. Once on the other side, use the grav lift to boost to your base top and score a flag cap! Note that this can only be done once or twice a match, considering the grav lift takes a while to respawn. Other than that, it is imperative to control the sniper area during CTF matches, as the man-cannons there are the only way to reach the top of the bases (which is where the flags spawn). - Jump: While going up the stairs towards the sniper spawn, turn around and jump to the bridge extending towards the wall. This can allow you to evade someone who is following you, grenade the base's interior or make a sneaky move towards the man-cannon. - Instead of grabbing one mauler and then dropping down for the OS, jump over the OS trench and proceed to take Mauler #2. THEN go back, drop down to the OS, and viola! You are a dual-mauler wielder w/ an overshield. Thanks to all who comment. Download X-Tension Here
woah, nice map for a first time poster! You seem to have done everything correctly. I like the layout and I see that you did some interlocking, very nice. The mancannon seems to be propelling you towards a wall only a few feet away.
Yeah, I know... I thought about using grav lifts instead, but stayed with the man-cannons for whatever reason.
interlock a bit more it seems a bit ordinary and like alot of alot of other maps maybe you could use your remaining money to make a structure that kind of *pops* out and would increase your downloads.
good idea, i especially like the beaver creek thing u added. it could use some action pics though, not just forge.
Very nice, especially for a first-time poster. You had some really cool ideas to go from, and I like the recreation of the Beaver Creek trick- a timeless classic.
It looks like its missing something, and its not sheild doors. I might DL it , just to see what it is really like
