The Elephant is a mobile command base and repair vehicle. Twelve soldiers can ride in it and a Mongoose spawns in its forward hold. It is armed with a forward M41 LAAG on the top right and a AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun on the mid left.[4] It is a three storied vehicle [5] with the bottom story, the respawn locale that opens out into the rear cargo tray, the second story, a walkway around the cargo ramp and leads onto the driver's cabin then a small, elevated third story where the M41 LAAG is assembled. It features a crane, numerous firing ports and elevated positions for defending it.[6] It shares the same track set-up as the Scorpion Tank, with a set of four tracked boogies along its chassis. Its chassis is as high as it is long, providing stability. An IGN video shows its top speed, driver's cabin and turrets. In multiplayer, it can spawn troops, and holds both the flag and the capture point for certain multiplayer maps on Capture The Flag mode. Therefore, in CTF you can actually bring the Capture Point to the enemy flag, though this makes it easier to steal yours. The elephant is one of the best weapons on huge battles. These mobile command bases can spawn troops and vehicles into battle quickly. Although it may not seem possible, this Elephant can't be destroyed. In addition to the Elephant's indestructibility, it also grants the pilot a few advantages. Due to the indestructible nature of the elephant, the pilot is immune to damage from frontal fire, though lucky Spartan Laser blasts may over penetrate the driver's window and kill him. However, the pilot is not immune to damage and any shots from behind will hurt him as they would normally.

This map is good, I will download and try with my friends later, Ok, Your map needs to have defensive objects, Like geomerge things or put down crates, wire spools or even dumpsters if you want, Its WAY too open for the attackers and the defenders would own them, 4/5. I will come back with a review of the gameplay later. EDIT: I did not play on it and I did forge to see what it was like, It was sort of messy, (No offence) I think that a V4 is in mind and next time use the money glitch.
While I think that it definately looks like it and seem very playable the elephant seems very easy to break. I'd say replacing the entire selection of barriers with walls. other than that I like it. Also i agree there should be some cover for attackers and what not. A good map. Just too bad the elephants take so much stuff. if you could make two you could have bases and play multiflag and multibomb as you would on sandtrap. Which would be fun on a smaller more close quarters map. I see a few spots some better interlocking could help, and I wonder why the place the bomb plant point is is all wonky but I do like this map 4/5. If you could make the two elephants idea I suggested I'll give you a 10/5.
It doesn't have to be that playable as it is an Aesthetic Map but it certainly looks like it could provide an interesting game. Addind cover would help but I think I3lue Dragon, that if you wanted it to be playable, I seriously recommend adding a lot more cover and even more structures. Maybe even build a wall to make the playable area smaller. I'd also recommend building the eleplant with a bit more structure in a V2. Just it's a little messy. The idea for the wheels/tracks is great. I like that you can shoot into the driver too. Good luck improving this map.
It looks a bit sloppy made at some areas, though some parts look great like the drivers seat and the lower level. I think you could make a V4 too.
it looks accurate, in some places there are a few holes, but i think the map is kinda pointless-even if it is aesthetic, it lacks meaning, its a remake of something that is on another map, if i wanted an elephant, i would go to sandtrap. but then again, if elephants were forgeable on other maps i would think it is awsome! but that is if it were a real elephant. you should just create a map, and put an elephant into it.
A great aesthetic map with good attention to detail. As mentioned, this map might have slightly less significance than other aesthetic maps as you can just play on sandtrap. Even if there were other bases, the elephant isn't that great as a base and is only used for its mobility on sandtrap. So don't even bother with gameplay. All in all, i'd give it a 4/5 because it looks somehow a little messy.
Yay! I noticed you fixed the junk in the wheels, and the map looks great! It's a lot neater than last time. 4/5
ok people so far i need cover for attackers i hear the wheels are good and maybe some more interlocking anything else im missing? sloppy i need better description than that whats sloppy? oh and fix the cockpit ok gonna fix that tonight
I have never seen anybody do an elephant before. On the thread I saw "UNSC" and just thought "oh god, it's gonna' be another ship on Avalanche". But it wasn't. This is definitely a high quality recreation as well. I definitely see an elephant in those pics. For some reason my favorite part is the dumpsters above the barrels that represent the wheel guards, along with the staircase representing the ramp. A definite DL for me and a 5/5
That's a really great remake. It looks just like one on SandTrap. Good work, but it doesn't seem that this would play very well for some reason. 4/5. Keep it up!
