    I plan on re-imaginating Boarding Action from Halo: CE, however, I am faced with a problem! Should I use the outside of Blackout, or, Avalanche?

    Blackout Pros:

    • Fits the theme
    • Destructible scenery
    • Bottomless pit
    Blackout Cons:

    • Extremely narrow
    • Extremely narrow
    • Lack of resources
    • Extremely narrow

    Avalanche Pros

    • Lots of resources
    • Looks
    • Plenty of workspace
    • Easier to work with
    Avalanche Cons

    • Has a floor
    • No PRs!
    • Misfitting pieces.

    Help nao.

    I'd say Avalanche. More forging items are available on it. I dont think it'd be great on Blackout because of the extremely narrow factor.

    blackout is better if you get outside it properly, besides, having a death floor is much more important than the resources, don't you think?

    No, you need the resources for the map. I did get out properly, it is nice and high but only about 2.5 bridge lengths wide.

    You won't be able to get back, up there will be mancannons, teles and explosives to make you die at the bottom.

    It looks like I'll have to try both... Does anyone have an out-of-bounds map for Blackout then?

    it's not hard to get out of, just go up to the barrier and spawn a receiver node. if it isn't out there just try and push it out and it should work.

    I did that, just the way you said it made it seem bigger.

    -Blackout
    -As long as you make it big as possible and keep it proportional it will be fine
    -you could make it underneath the map instead of above the map

    The edge of Avalanche works, one I'm working on will have the two sides facing each other, running perpendicular to the out jutting structure. It allows for you to be floating and have a kill barrier. The nearest base would be almost resting against the wall and slightly below ground level to allow for 5 levels, with the other "ship" being farther out, with it's back against the rubber barrier. Though depending on how long Boarding action is, you could still run out of resources...

    Boarding Action is a Halo CE: multiplayer map that is basically 2 large ships facing each other, you could shoot between the ships and teleporters would grant access between them.
    also, it was awesome.

    As Iviory said, 2 ships(in space) that were 5 stories high, each story was basically a thin walkway. It is will be epic for: BR's, shotty snipers, nades and spades(a must) and good ol CTF.

    Hopefully I can use man cannons instead.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I will have to use firebombs to replace the flamethrower(pc version), except in asymmetrical. A problem might be people form top jumping to opposite bottom, but I guess that could be a tactic. =/

    It was possible to do in halo 1 you know. Grenade jump across. although you did die due to fall damage but since that doesn't exhist anymore... With the overshield you survived the jump.
