Conveyor Conveyor is a project that is very dear to me. It is the way i wanted Escalation to be. However, that map turned out a rotten mess. This one however, is packed with epic close quarters combat, sleek visual design and a wide plethora of weapons to kill your friends with. Inspired by a fan favourite - Elongation (Halo 2), this map offers the verticality, swift movement around the map and tactical jumping which symbolised Elongation while at the same time, hosting an entirely different look, weapon configuration and a more open upper section. To put a long story short, Conveyor is inspired by the key points of Elongation while still feeling like a whole new map. One gametype this map is designed to host primarily is Neutral CTF. Ok not many people may enjoy it but this map's easy navigation between sides and many flanking routes as well as ways to get around those ambushers provide a great environment for Neutral CTF. While designed around this and Team Slayer, it still supports a few other gametypes.

This has to be one of your better inside maps. But in the 1st pic, those 1x2's would look better turned around. And replacing those 3x3's for flooring with maybe something else. IDK if you have budget issues, but maybe you can do something about it. Ill have to give this one a download though. It looks like a good 2v2 in my point of view. Great job.
My budget is quite plentiful and i guess i could try a different type of flooring. Also, i tried turning around the 1x2 blocks but it doesn't really look good at all. Thanks for your thoughts.
I assume you fixed the spawning (and other issues discovered from my playthrough)? I hope so because this is, as robo said, one of your better maps and there is no reason to let the issues you had in it get in the way of that. The one thing I can say for sure (since I have not played here recently) is that you did a great job of having people feel like they were on an elongation inspired map, while keeping it unique feeling still.
Yep. The spawns have been completely fixed. Right now though, i'm hoping to manipulate the spawn system to greater encourage firefighting on the lower levels. And i am happy that i have achieved the goal of bringing an Elongation feel while still having a unique feel at the same time.
I have to agree with Robo this is definitely one of your better maps. The only thing I don't like is the Stunt ramps and the positioning of the 1x2's. At the moment I can't say to much more about the game play and layout because I haven't DL yet but once I DL I will try to post more.
Your not the first to dislike the stunt ramps but they do grow on you eventually. I wanted to go with a conveyor belt look (hence the map name) and ramp stunts are the best objects to give the feeling of a mechanism.
If only the belts worked... Anywho, this is absolutely lovely. Definately feels like elongation. I have no critique for this, only compliments. Great job
Yeah. If there was a way to make conveyor belts, then i think i would spend a considerable amount of budget on them. Thanks for your compliments.
