First off I would like to say that this map was not solely created by me. Myself and two of my friends (real life friends) do most of our forging as a joint operation. The following map was created by: Gamertags: JoJaSc doorknockers Khaos13 Along with this map we have made many more that we would like to share with the forging community. Try the map and let us know what you think. This map is called PHARAOH'S TOMB. It is based on the style of an egyptian pyramid. Inside there are many passageways, some of which lead to weapon caches and others to objectives. Players must use stealth and cunning to locate superior firepower in order to annihilate their foes. This one map can be used in two different ways (with the respective variants). Players may either fight to reach the heart of the pyramid in the King of the Tomb variant, fight to take control of the pyramid in the territories version, called Tomb Raider, or attempt to reclaim the tomb as the pharaoh in Pharaoh'sReturn. Just a note on the weapon caches: In ancient Egyptian pyramids pharaohs would put up defenses such as spells to protect their pyramids. The weapon areas with turrets shotguns and such are there to use in defense of the pyramid. There are also hidden weapons located within hidden passageways and rooms in the pyramid. This is another part based on an ancient Egyptian pyramid. Hidden treasures would be placed within secret areas of the pyramid. The hidden sword and flamethrower were our way of transferring this feel into Halo. I would like to also add a few thanks in here. The hidden passage containing the sword was done based on the suggestion of ninni21 over at the bungie forums. Secondly I would also like to thank voodoo for supporting our map and also nominating it for one of the best maps of 2007. So thank you voodoo. With all of that aside here is: PHARAOH'S TOMB This is a three purpose map. Territories - Tomb Raider King of the Hill - King of the Tomb Infection - Pharaoh's Return The map is a pyramid with tunnels and hidden passage ways. Players must fight for control of the pyramid. 2 teams Team size= 4-8 per team is best TERRITORIES Capture time 30 seconds 10 minute time limit 6 territories to capture Attackers spawn on the outside walls of the pyramid and must work their way through taking territories as they infiltrate the pyramid. Defenders spawn on the top and the inside of the pyramid. They must stop the onslaught brought on by the attackers. KING OF THE HILL 250 seconds to win No time limit both teams spawn on the outside of the pyramid and must work their way through the pyramid to take over the pharaoh's tomb. The hill is located at the end of the passage ways. There are tunnels leading to hidden weapon caches and powerups. (on Territories too) INFECTION The Pharaoh has returned from the dead. His hidden defenses have backfired and invaders have taken over the pyramid. The Pharaoh must fight to rid his tomb of the intruders. Zombies spawn outside of the pyramid. Humans spawn in the area where the hill is. Zombies have speed at 110% The alpha zombie has 150% damage resistance The alpha zombie is gold, the rest are black. Last man standing gets 125% speed and 3 bonus points.

So is this map different than the other pyramid one...I can't seem to find the one I am thinking of unless this is it, but I do like the inside of the pyramid
Yes this is the same map that I used for the application. I decided to post it in the general forum so people could see it here and comment on it. And thanks. We're going to try rebuilding it to perfect the look of the outside soon. edit: also the links got messed up in the other one so I fixed them here so the downloads should work.
I have played this map. It is surprisingly challenging to capture all the territories, which make the following rounds more intense. The infection mode is pretty creepy too.. All the humans are trapped on the inside and the infection drops down and hunts them down inside the pyramid. I really like this map along with the game variants. The map is worth giving a shot at with your friends. (The more people that are playing it the better)
Looks rather exciting, especially after reading doorknocker's post lol. My queue is full atm but I will download it once they have completed.
make sure to leave comments after you check it out. that way it lets us know what people think of it. also if you like it that can help us get it out for others to see.
It's a pyramid. In egyptian times, tombs were built inside the pyramids to protect the past ruler or whomever it was that died. He made the name this because the outside is the pyramid, so he made a name associated with it. That's my opinion.
Just a thought - shoulsn't the other zombies be white? As if they were mummies, you know? I need to sleep D:.
Cr0ok3d is absolutely right...a 'pyramid' would be a 'tomb' for a 'pharaoh' hence the name 'pharaoh's tomb' that's a good idea...thanks...we might do that...we'll probably keep the alpha zombie gold though since he's supposed to be the pharaoh. I'll probably change that though and I'll put up an update soon. Thanks for the suggestion. And thanks chromebandit...glad you like it. And to anyone else, we are always open to suggestions and would love to hear what you think...thanks again for the support guys. Check out our other stuff once we start getting it on the site. It'll either be under my gamertag or doorknockers.
I as well as others might picture the title description fitting more along the lines of Sandtrap but this is a well put together map. Infection and Territories sound like what I might use this map for most. Maybe just clean up the map a little for show. I like the weapon placement you chose though. Good work.
yeah sandtrap would be good for the whole egyptian feel...its really too bad that you don't get many items there...foundry's really the best map for forging and it's the only place we could do this well thanks though...we're doing cleanup to make it look better (on the outside...I think the inside's good) Were playing with the idea of adding in another ledge on the entrance floor too...once we have that stuff done Ill put an update in here
yeah it would've been great to open up the other/more items in all of the maps...you could do some amazing stuff in maps like sandtrap if you had more objects. My favorite gametype we've made was on there though. Only problem is you have to go by the trust factor to make it fun and work right. But it's an absolute blast when it does. I'll get it up eventually, but it might be a while. And keep posting feedback guys...I'd love to hear what you all think.
Nice job... I also had the idea for a tomb kind of map but thankfully you didnt really take it cuz yours is different from what im making... but i like yours too
