    Map Description
    Boxed is a small symmetrical map for 4-10 players. Teams spawn in opposite corners inside a giant box, hence the name. Each team gets a sniper as an initial drop and there is a rocket launcher and shotgun at top and bottom mid. There are multiple ways around the map. Each team has a man cannon aimed at the side of the enemies base. There are teleporters on the bottom level of the map that bring you to the opposite side (2-way teleporters). Lifts on a platform halfway up a ramp from bottom to top mid lift you into the base depending on whichever side you're on.

    Yellow Tower - Red base is to the left. You can see the lift near the bottom of the image.

    I'd really appreciate if anyone could download it and give me some feedback. Thanks :)

    Without downloading the map, I can only really comment this: Building a map and then covering it with wall coliseums is just generally not a good idea. Whats the point in covering up a beautiful skybox with walls that make the map look very dull in terms of lighting. It's gunna affect frame rate also, having all those walls when they really serve next to no purpose.

    I thought I did comment on this map, guess I changed my mind. No dynamic lighting = ugly in Halo 4. Need to delete those Wall Coliseums as PA1NTS said.

    I don't know. I kind of like it the way it is. I feel like the map would be too bright and it wouldn't have the same feel as it does now. Also, the walls keep some objects contained. I would have to change a lot of stuff around to make it work.

    Also, I only used like 3900 of the budget so I don't think the framerate will suffer.

    Thanks for the reply, though.

    from what i have seen from the pictures it looks like it is a bit too open and may prove to be difficult for some players to navigate their way around the map , however it does not mean that improvements cannot be made to fix it . Apart from that it looks like a pretty good map with just a little bit need cleaning up .
