    Ok, well this is my first map, so i hope you like it! :)

    Battle Zone
    Created by Chris Dude70

    Supported Gametypes:
    Slayer
    Battle Zone Typ

    Map Description
    Designed to look like a War Zone.


    There are two bases, both containing:
    • 3 assault rifles
    • 3 battle rifles
    • 2 brute shots
    • 2 SMG
    • 2 spikers
    • 2 carbines
    • 2 covenant sniper weapons (cant remember name)
    • 2 turrets
    The battle zone is scattered with bits of stuff:
    • 2 flipped warthogs
    • 4 mongoose
    • 2 bunkers
    • 1 hutt containing 4 shotguns
    • 1 central plasma turret
    • various piles of rubble (barrels, walls, dumpsters, roadblocks, crates etc)
    • 2 fusion coil launching areas
    • various grenades of all types
    I am verry proud of te bunkers, the bunkers both contain:
    • 2 assault rifles
    • 2 battle rifles
    • 1 sniper rifle
    • 4 plasma, frag and spike grenades.
    The fusion coil launchers are simply two man cannons (per launcher) that you can push
    The fusion coil launchers both contain:
    • 3 fusion coils
    • 2 man cans
    • 2 magnums

    Glad to see that you got your post right with the pics and everything. Excellent for a first timer. The map is a lot like a junkyard map, which many people have done and only a few have created something worthwhile. This one isn't one of the better ones, as it is too open and does not have any really original structures. It seems to me that the overwhelming amount of snipers would dominate any other weapon on the map, and the short range weapons look to be almost useless due to the map's emptyness. Also, the way the weapons are just lying on the ground never looks good. Add some more structures and switch the weapon situation around a lot. My ultimate advice would be to stay away from junkyard maps... but if you are committed to this one, it needs some work. 4/10

    I didnt put much work into it, less than an hours work.

    I might do some more to it later. Ive got school holidays soon so i will have 6 weeks to work on it. :)

    I'm not sure what look you are going for exactly, but I would search forgehub and maybe bungie.net, and try to get some ideas from other maps. Otherwise, just brainstorm. You've got a while to do so. :p

    yes it an jankyard map alright and with shaddoblade words this could turn out to be a great map

    p.s go to forging 101 to learn how to forge to perfection

    this includes interlocking, geo merging, floating objects and so on

    KEEP FORGING

    shaddoblade i love your signeture

    I see you are new here. Please go to the Forging 101 section to see tips on stuff. Your map is too open. Do some interlocking and put more cover. Also try to think of a better name, it is too common. Good luck in v2.

    Please put constructive criticism, don't just say that it's a bad map.

    On to the map.
    Well, I'm glad that you posted this right for a first time posting. The map though, doesn't look like you put that much thought into making this. You should check out the Forging 101 section to improve your map, and maybe add a few structures instead of a pile of roadblocks. The stack of walls you placed could be used for something much more creative than just a pile. Also, a turret is powerful, but 2 turrets won't turn out well, especially not for gameplay. All in all, good job posting correctly, but work on the map a little more.

    Thanks evryone for the advice.
    Exept Blaski45, you have some issues.
    and Shaddoblade does have a really good signature.

    I will have a look at Forging 101 now :)

    I can see that it is very empty, it didnt turn out exactly as i wanted it too.

    The pile of walls can be crawled through. But as i said, it didnt turn out right.

    I stink really bad at titles lol.

    And are there many maze based maps? I have some ideas for one if there not common.

    Thanks agan :)

    I would take a visit to forging 101 and look at other maps and try to make a v2 of this map with interlocking and geomerging.
    Honestly this looks very rushed please spend more time on maps
