    Building Brawl

    Map made by Mearm. 4-12 players. Use with any gametype.
    For all of you who read my very first post here on Forge Hub, this should look a bit familiar. Alleyway was my first post on Forge Hub, and as a mater of fact, this is a remake of it. When I first posted Alleyway, I got suggestions like make it wider so that more people could play in it, so that's what I did, to some extent.
    Weapons on the map include: 2 assault rifles, 2 battle rifles, a shotgun, a sniper, 2 SMGs, 2 spikers, 2 magnums, 2 plasma pistols, 2 plasma rifles, 2 needlers, a brute shot, a Plasma Cannon, a Machine Gun Turret, 2 carbines and 2 maulers.
    Equipment on the map includes: 6 frags, 4 plasma grenades, a regenerator, a bubble shield, a grav lift, a trip mine, a power drain and a deployable cover.

    When fighting on this map, like Alleyway, get to high ground for an advantage. Also, try not to fall off. During testing, we figured out that if you don't look where you walk, you'll walk right off the edge of a bridge.
    [​IMG]
    The bases in Building Brawl look similar to the ones in Alleyway, but they are smaller actually, and there are no SMGs in the bases like in Alleyway. The one huge difference between Alleyway and Building Brawl is the fact that Alleyway was a straightforward map, all you had to do was go straight and you'd reach the enemy. Not really the case with Building Brawl, as you have to go diagonally and you can again, go on different floors.
    [​IMG]
    If you saw the Alleyway post, you'd remember the tower with the Plasma Cannon and the power drain right? Well, that has returned, except the plasma cannon has been moved. Also, the truck under the tower has returned, as well as the ramp up to the Machine Gun Turret.
    [​IMG]
    Lastly, this map, also like Alleyway, has multiple ways to get to anywhere on the map, making camping difficult, but actually this map is easier to camp than Alleyway. And please no comments on how camping should be easy on this map. Bungie doesn't care if their maps are able to be camped, and they can be. I think almost any map can be camped with a little creativity on where you camp. Now for the action shots.

    The greatest camping spot of all time.

    Failed hiding. This might not end well.

    Oh that's not good...

    Credits
    I didn't have any help on this map, as I did it when I had no internet connection. This map is greatly based on Alleyway, and I tried to fix as much as I could from the suggestions from Alleyway. Thanks to Parune for helping with the pictures and thanks to everyone who gave suggestions for Alleyway that I used in Building Brawl. Comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated, so please post them.

    (I am the one in steel and yellow armor, Parune is the one in green and white)

    It's confusingly built, but at that, it's surprisingly well done, very neat and tidy. It has a nice use of overpasses on top of the map without making it an elevated ring around the map. It has a look reminiscent to Hang 'Em High, if you think about it.

    A great part about this map is that the top level has access to the bottom level and the next highest level as well, but it seems like it wouldn't be difficult to get to the top while a person is under fire.

    Great looking map, and I hope to see more work from you. I will test as soon as I dl and play this.

    wow this is jammed pack. literally. its so complex and confusing in every way. i'd like to see how this map place because it leaves you wondering what kind of gameplay it'll play out. this looks like it might be my favorite ffa map, but i'll play it and see if its any good. see, i just got back from a 1 week trip so i didnt get any time to play some halo so this'll warm me up. i'll dl it.
    oh and i dont see how the sniper might be any good in this map so maybe you could tell us the respawn times of the power weapons. and i think a shotgun and 2 maulers might be a little overpowering, unless the repsawn times are long.

    Wow, this is really well made, nice amount of interlocking and really good layout definitely a good slayer map, FFA would be amazing and maybe some 2v2 and 3v3 possibly.

    Well made
    5/5

    Nice job, not too fond of the respawn points though. Anyway, I liked the expanded alleyway design, 5/5.

    The sniper spawn time is 120 sec only 1 extra clip, the shotgun spawn time is 120 sec only 1 extra clip, the maulers are 30 sec spawn time with 1 extra clip.

    Thanks everybody for the comments.

    Wow. Thats all I can say about this map. It looks simply amazing. I love all of the flights of areas and stairways. It reminds me of Hang Em' High and Turf, which is an amazing feat. This map looks amazing, I was reading though, you have a Heavy Plasma Torrent and a Heavy Machine Gun Torrent. Those might be the only flaws, just because you get those noobs that camp with those guns some where and mow you down. But other than that, it looks great. Great job Sir.

    The map looks great. I like when people put stuff at the end of bridges, idk why. The only thing is that you could have interlocked more. 4/5

    Thanks for the comment. The turrets are set so that they don't spawn for 3 mins after you break them, and you can't see much because of the map's design with a turret. Just break the turret and you should be good.

    Good map I give it 5/5. All I can say is that I think that it should be a tad larger so you can actually use the snipers main purpose,......SNIPING!!!!

    Just played this and i can't say that i liked it.... was smaller than i expected and i didn't like the fact that you used 2 turrets so close to each other.
    Couldn't see much interlocking either exept for the bridges.
    Sorry but u'll get a 2/5 from me.
