    SkyBase Isolation v1 is an Infection map on Isolation with a floating base above the sniper area. The base has 3 turrets (1 in the center, 2 on the sides) + battle rifles + sniper rifles + brute shots. The zombies will have a VERY hard time to kill a human or to get on top of the base. But if you watch the YouTube Video you will see that there are ways for the zombies to dominate. Zombies are a little bit faster and will experience little less gravity than humans. 12+ players will provide the best experience. Games will last for 15+ minutes. The map got tested for a week to create a perfect balanced infection map.

    These combinations of gameplay elements and testing will provide a great Halo 3 infection experience. I'm receiving lots of XBL messages every day with great and positive feedback.

    Zombies need to get tactical! Humans are the Hell's Janitors!
    Good luck and have fun!

    I've started creating this map without knowing other floating bases already existed. I discovered the concept myself. Alot of other floating bases are out there, but I'm sure this is one of the best. Spend alot of time on it: 6-8 hours building. Testing and improving took me a week. Only perfection was good enough for me.

    The actual reason why I created this map is because of all the freakin *** bad maps people are creating. I wanted to show that it isn't that hard and started creating my first serious map: SkyBase! It's my only serious map aswell, cause I'm also playing Halo 3 just to be good at the game: I'm one of the top-players of my country so I'm not an active Forger. But I'm planning to create another Forge map in the future and maybe even try to join the guilders :D.

    I have this map and it is very good. The only problem is that there are no ways to get back up as a human. What if a zombie lunges up and the only way to survive is to jump off?

    It's extremely difficult for a zombie to get on top of the base if the humans play smart. IF a zombie actually get on top of the base, then the reward should be perfect: a human getting killed or falling off the base!

    This is actually a thoroughly impressive map. At first I was like, "Awesome. The 121,312,423,634,958 floating base map created...since yesterday." But, in reality, this one was well thought-out and planned. The different ways for zombies to get into the well-defended (but not impenetrable) base is a nice touch. It's a different idea, to be sure, since the floating base is less of a base and more of a dangerous platform to fend off brain-feeding, tree-jumping, sword-lunging zombies. It gets my highest approval. Good replay value, as well.

    yea sky bases are alittle one sided when it comes to infection, don't get me wrong, it's pretty crafty; but it's just not that practical

    It looks fun, but I have played to many sky bases already.
