    VERSION 2.2 NOW AVAILABLE!
    UPDATES:
    Fixed a faulty teleporter.
    Switched the unpopular sentinel beams for BRs.


    First map ever!

    Isolation Wars is a minigame style map where the entire game takes place within the two bases of isolation - one team per base.

    Shooting through the windows!

    With a large explosive pile in the middle, which, while large, is not large enough to cause lag - but it can kill someone at the window at the wrong time!

    Simple idea, beautiful execution..... you have Isolation Wars!

    (Note - the v2.1 is there despite this being the first version posted for the general public - the earlier versions were all betas.)

    Weapons
    Sniper Rifle x 4
    Laser x 4
    Rocket x 4
    NEW FOR VERSION 2.2: Battle Rifle x 4 (Sentinel Beam removed.)
    Missile Pod x 2

    Equipment
    Active Camo x 2
    Custom Powerup (Damage and Resistance upgrade) x 2
    Overshield x 2
    Regen x 2
    Bubbleshield x 2

    Gametype Changes
    No longer respawn on suicide/betrayal.
    Infinite ammo.
    No motion tracker.
    Custom Powerup (see above).

    Best Setup
    Two teams (red and blue are mandatory) of 2-4 players.

    (NOTE - All pictures are from version 2.1, not the new version 2.2)

    Pictured - overshield and camo in the back of the base, teleporter guarding the door (which links to an airborne receiver on the ceiling). Not shown is the custom powerup, on the other side.

    [​IMG]
    The teleporter guarding the main door. I believe that, while this structure can move around, it can't be busted through, but I would appreciate more extensive testing. Let me know if it works.

    Fire between bases.

    A beautiful, deadly sight.

    Welcome to forgehub!
    I am definately surprised to see a map on Isolation and I don't know what to say...
    It looks like you did a good job and it looks like a fun minigame I will DL and try it.

    I love how you used the material that Bungie has given us with there default maps. Great work and great first post!

    Looks fun. I less than three u for including Sentinel beams & firebombs. And like BlueDevil said, nice work using a default map.

    This is the best use of Isolation that I've ever seen! I don't think the bubble shield is a good idea, wouldn't it cover up the holes to shoot from in the bunkers? Otherwise never mind, and is the missile pod difficult to shoot through the openings without killing yourself? Probably the best map on a default map in a very long time!

    Thanks for the comments! Firstly, the bubbleshield is on a rather slow respawn, and only covers half of the base. If I ever make another version I might slow it's timer down farther. And secondly, the missile pod is hard to use - i recommend stepping back from the wall, jumping and timing your shots. It's very deadly when used properly.

    I love the idea! So unique, which is great! Maybe it'll make a horrible map better!

    I've never wanted to play isolation before this moment. Thanks for keeping old maps alive. But one problem, sentinal beam? I'll take you word, but sounds overpowered.

    I have seen this before but not as mastered as this! Great job and extra points for making it on a non-DLC map!

    this is rather one of the best maps i've seen on isolation but custom maps on isolation just dont seem to amaze me. i tried making a map on isolation for infection and failed miserably so although i dislike isolation thiss map is alright. 3/5

    Base-to-base combat!Awesome!Inescapable!Even better!
    I've never seen an Isolation map beside the previous Bungie Favourites map Iso Quarentine.What I've seen before is a few weapons swapped catagorized by type but this is definatly something else!5/5.

    Sentinel Beam gets shut up pretty fast by a rocket or sniper :p

    And thank you all for the comments! After this, I'll surely make a larger project - still honing my forge skills. I'm trying to decide what I'm going to do for a new project but probably a more serious, CTF type map.
