    Map Name: Heaven's Snipers

    Player Count: 4-16

    Heaven's Snipers is a mini-game map. It includes Snipers, "Heaven's Snipers" shooting the Demons at the bottom of the map. First Will be the pictures, then I'll describe gameplay.

    This map took me 3 Days to make and edit. There was also a day of JUST Testing with recent players. Therefore, I have tested this already, but am looking for further suggestions

    Demon's Initial Spawn

    Overview

    GAMEPLAY: To start, when you are showed Angels in the initial camera, choose the Angels Class, if you spawn with Demons initial spawn camera, choose the Demons Class. The Angels are spawned with snipers. Their goal is to snipe the demons. The demon's goal is to capture as many territories as they can in 3 Minutes.

    While the Demons capture territories, the Angels are also sniping them. The Angels **MUST** Pick up the custom Powerup, or they will not be able to kill the Demons.

    If you played Action Sack in Halo 3, you will probably remeber a map called: Run for Cover on Zeus. This is the same basic idea, with a few changes.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When the round is over, change classes to the opposite class of the previous round.

    If you don't remember this, then the initial spawn will show you which class you will need to pick.

    Thank you for your Time!

    Honour rules don't impress me. Nor does the top area. Many Devils will be camping under rocks anyway.

    Don't expect much from me.

    It is balanced out though.

    If you are a Demon, and choose the Angel class, you are unable to run, and you cannot kill the Angels because you have no powerup.

    If you are an Angel and choose the Demon class, you are unable to kill the Demons because you have a sword.

    The goal of the map is to capture the territories. If the Demons camp under the rocks, No territories for them...

    So this is basically like Zeus from Halo 3? I actually enjoyed that game.

    Yah, I was trying to replicate it in my own version. It is harder to replicate though because Reach doesn't have VIP.

    I'm 99% sure I've played this in Action Sack last week.

    In Halo 3, or in REACH? Run for Cover on Zeus was placed in Halo 3, this replicates it, with some of its own twists.

    It may have been a custom game; but I'm pretty sure it was matchmaking.

    I played this and it wasn't that fun, everytime we played this both teams ended up bring ties because the demons always win.

    I fixed the map and game type up a WHOLE LOT. It now is much more challenging for the demons. The biggest change was adding 25 more territories for the demons to capture. Most of these are in low cover as well. The next change was making the capture time 3 seconds. This gives the Angels more time to snipe them. The third change was giving the Angels instant kill and bottomless clip. This helps the Angels because they dont have to waist time reloading, and can now easily kill the demons as they are capturing.

    During TGIF , we tested my new version of Heaven's Snipers and it was really enjoying. If you would like to test the new version, go check out my post in the Tester's Guild. That has the updated Map and Gametype link.
