Map Name: Alpha Centauri Link to map: Download "ALPHA CENTAURI" What is "Alpha Centauri"? Alpha Centauri is a medium sized map that contains boat-loads of cover and immense amounts of fun. It's not the biggest but it's good for about 2-8 players. The map itself is asymmetrical but it quite heavily appears to be symmetrical. Gameplay itself focuses around a main walkway with 2 drop-offs on either side. One side spawns closer to Shotgun while the other spawns closer to the Sniper. I realize that there isn't exactly the largest amount of interlocking done on this map, but I have gotten some good reviews. It's not the look of the map that makes it great, it's the gameplay! Gametype Suggestions: Alpha Centauri only has Slayer spawn points on it right now. But in the future I might make CTF or Assault settings. Right now I'll see what plays out. Weapons: Battle Rifles x 2 Snipers x1 Shotguns x1 SMGs x2 Plasma Pistols x1 Brute Shots x1 Covenant Carbines x1 Plasma Grenades x4 Spike Grenades x1 Fire Bomb Grenades x1 Bubble Shields x1 Radar Jammers x1 After several gameplay run-throughs, I have deemed that these weapons are neither imbalanced nor bad. I've never gotten frustrated over weapon control and neither have my friends. If you've got suggestions, contact me Screenshots: Picture One - Looking out of Defender "bunker". Picture Two - Outside of Defender spawn. Picture Three - The Attacker spawn area. Looks campy, but it's not. Picture Four - The pathway connecting the two bases. It's an area of high contention. Picture Five - Another angle of the pathway between the two bases.

If you're interested in more information about this star system, try Wikipedia: Alpha Centauri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia My inspirations were many. I had recently seen several extremely good Forged creations and thought that I could make one. This is one of my few serious Forge creations. The whole time while making this I thought, "How can I mix fun and balance?" I can up with this. While this map isn't the most asthenically pleasing, it is extremely fun to play on. Several friends (Primarily Sierra 396 [Known here as "Spartan 396"]) were quite helpful and gave several great reviews. I am sure that if you're in the mood for some non-serious killing, this map will help. ----- Feel free to ask anymore questions.

This is really a great map. The aesthetics aren't too pleasing but the gameplay side of this map is really fun. Some of the weapon placements aren't the best either, but those can change =P I'm going to give your map a 4/5. It doesn't look the best but it's really a fun map
As you said there isnt a large amount of interlocking, but it could really help and I see a crooked blocking wall in the last 2 pictures. But I can see some really great gameplay based off the layout. I'd download but my xbox is in for repair. No xbox for Christmas =\. 4/5
I like the layout of the map, its one of those long hallway maps. I definitaly think you could of set it up for a conquest gametype. Although you said that the gameplay is nice, and I will believe you, interlocking could greatly help this map, and get it more DLs. If you need help I will be happy to. Gamertag-- KillerK MSU
no offence but to have a great map here at forgehub you need to interlock almost everything to make people want to dl your maps. i mean sure the gameplay sounds and looks good but i personally belive that you need to have aesthetics fir a dl becasude if i wanted fun id go outside, i need something more. also it looks like a big tug of war match...
it may not be a poblem of looks, but the texture sloppyness creats can subtract from gameplay, which this map is geared towards i would suggets cleaning up the map, aligning things straightly. not necsesarily interlocking/geomerging
i like the idea and the layout but to realy catch peoples attention and to get people to dl it you need to interlock much more. Im not going to download this because my space is full but you should definalty make a v2 and i will definatly dl it 3.5/5
Like you said, there isn't much interlocking in the map, but this map is still amazing! I sudgest removing the little interlocking you have and submitting it to the lazy mapmakers contest!
