Advantage Youtube Vid Here My most recent map and the best of all my works: Advantage Pics in my gallery: All of the pics are advantage except for the ones after the overview. Two pages of pics... ridiculous, huh? The basic idea of the map is a fighting arena with tunnels to get you around. I enjoy playing it as in slayer, but might make a good infection map as well due to the tunnels. It is not overloaded with power weapons (a maximum of three), and I decided to use some weapons not put to use very often such as the flame thrower. The flamethrower works perfectly for this map--even if you're not on the lower floor. The tunnels not only provide quick transportaition but harbor two of the three power weapons. A good thing about this map is that the shotgun will never overpower another player. a) it's unsafe to use the shotgun out of the tunnels. b) grenades make it challenging for shotgun's to own the map (such as what happens on snowbound) though the map could possibly use more battle rifles. Grenades will be put to tactical use when people play this map, as well as the equipment. The bubble shield isn't used as much as the regenerator or the power drain, but is still useful. Also, falling down to a lower part of the map is not a bad thing--there are several quick ways to go to the top of the map again. What's more, is that this map uses interlocking over and over to smoothen bumps. It's even interlocked with the ground! Everything was well though out. I even came up with a story to go with it. Due to the story and map style it will only provide human weapons, though. Description: These mines were buried beneath a thick layer of Covenant Glass on Harvest. It was rediscovered during a recovery effort to rescue a pelican dropship that had crashed there 2 years later. While the rescue team was being sent in, the crew of the crashed ship tried to manipulate a teleportation grid they had found to teleport them to their Frigate, Advantage. Their attempt failed, and through a teleportation malfunction they instead found these lost mines. After teleporting to the surface these mines were turned into the first military base on Harvest since the intial disaster. I'm afraid of you if you had the patience to read all that.

This looks like a mean map, i like it how you've fused everything into the ground, it makes it look real good, i'll download, i don't know what you guys are on about....
the pics u took dont really give me an idea of the layout. maybe take some birds eye view pics of it. but from the pics i see u used a lot of interlocking
ok. I'll add new pictures in a bit. ...wait. You did see there was a youtube video you can watch, didn't you? w/e. Here's the link again.
It's unfortuate that you managed to find one of the few assholes in this community to reply to your 1st map. - rep for demon. Anyway, I can't really judge your map without more of an overview pic. I see you've done some interlocking and geo-merging, but I can't tell whether it's been put to good use. I do see some sloppiness, I dunno whether the interlocks weren't properly aligned or what, but players generally don't like to have to jump excessively or get stuck on things, so make it as smooth as possible. Also, maybe this is just me, but I hate seeing weapons lying on the foundry floor, perhaps hang that shotgun from the ceiling? Good luck w/ future maps n' stuff. EDIT: I checked out the youtube link (you should bold that so people who don't care to read about your forging group will see it) and the layout looks pretty solid. Perhaps lacking a bit in creativity though, and I stand beside what I said before about the sloppiness (it could be cleaner). Alll criticism nonwithstanding, very good for a first map, and keep on forgin'.
It looks like mostly tunnel warfare. I'd personally like to see more going on on the outside (or top).
i love this map and also why aint any one watching the film it is the biggest part of it it is in size 6 or 7
I wonder why people even do that. Stupid if you ask me. I think the map looks great! Really nice interlocking and merging. I like the tunnels. From me you're gonna get 5/5.
I like it good design, easy drop-shortcuts, not perfect, but nothing short of brilliant. Similar to Guardian; a couple of main sections joined by tunnels and walkways. Once again, nice work 5/5 and downloaded, keep it up
The youtube video was great it gave me a big idea what it's like. But I don't understand why you but a turrent in the middle of the map because it's not the turrent can spin all the way around. But the interlocking is amazing.10/10
This is good. Somehow, despite the seemingly small amount of cover up top it looks just right. Careful, You may have a hit on your hands, although the name could use a bit of sprucing up. There have been a Lot of good maps recently, I wonder what the deal is.
sick nasty man. you did an excellent job on geo-mergin and interlockin the weapon placement looks good and it looks really fun to play. I DL
well, i think everyone should watch the youtube video before commenting, and then you can see the layout of the map. The map looks like a lot of fun. I don't know what the problem is about tunnel warfare, but it looks cool. Nice job!
