Bungie thread link: Click here to get attacked by midgets and for the updated map (Thread link) Hey everyone, this is my first map that I've posted here on ForgeHub. It is a slayer and team slayer based map, ideal for small to medium size parties. The map itself took me about 8 hours, the touch ups and editing took over 20. You wouldn't believe how much messier it was before. The map uses some masterful interlocking, and is very neat and crisp. Now, I'll stop babbling and tell you about the map. This map is purposefully designed with strategy in mind. It is very easy to maneuver in this map, and you'll rarely be stuck in a very tight space. Pretty much everything is connected in some way, so you may think you're safe while you're sneaking up on your enemy, then end up getting assassinated by him as he goes around. It can also work the exact opposite way: You don't have any strategy, you just rush in and kill them by shooting them in the face with a well-aimed battle rifle burst and then meleeing them. This map is extremely fun that way, because there will always be people going slow and steady with strategy in mind and then there will be the Rambo's charging in, going around through a hallway, and then killing your teammate. That is one of the reasons it is called Carnage. The map has no bases, but it is fairly easy to distinguish the main respawn points and areas of the teams. There are two 'main hubs' that you respawn at at the beginning that are connected by a bridge. Beneath the bridge is the middle hallway, which has a sword at the end. So at the very beginning, your team as well as the enemy will probably rush straight towards each other over the bridge, and then have everyone going for the sword at once. After that, it's pretty much just kill them as you see them, because the respawn points are scattered all over the map. Now, back to the map geometry. Beneath each 'central hub' are two lower levels, both of which contain one of the two power ups in the map. It should be noted, however, that the team that respawns in the one with the truck beneath it will not have the powerup directly beneath them, but slightly further away. Ideal for groups of up to 8 or 10. It is a relatively small map to be playing on with 16 players.

I hope maybe one day it will be, but at the moment, it's just stealing the MLG name.

Re: MLG Carnage Good map desciption BxR. You can get larger pics by going to your recent pics on bungie and then clicking on the picture. There should be a little plus sign button where you can save the larger pic to your comp. Looks pretty sweet though.
Re: MLG Carnage I spent about an hour last night working with those screenshots and the various links and codes. I'm a bit lazy to go make them bigger at the moment, but I probably will in the not-so-distant future. Thanks for the comment.
Re: MLG Carnage I'll let you know right now you're probably going to catch some hell for calling it an MLG map when in the description you say it is not. MLG guys take their maps seriously for some reason and will probably mention that the weapon choice doesn't fall in line with MLG standards as well. So, to help prevent unnecessary spam-type posting, might I suggest that you rethink the name.
Re: MLG Carnage Alright, thanks for the warning. Would a Moderator be able to change the title to 'Carnage'? Thanks.
Everyone, download the new version! Just click the link again, and it will send you to the new thread. It's almost exactly the same, but two minor errors have been fixed. One being a box that blocks off the flamethrower, another being a double box (open) that respawns 30 seconds late.
it looks very cramped and i think whoever gets the shotgun will easily dominate. it looks very well put together and neat
That was a problem I anticipated when I put in the shotgun. That's why there's a sword, as well, so it can basically counter-balance the shotgun. However, if someone has both, then you're pretty much screwed unless you can pull a spike or a plasma on them. And thanks for the comments. Keep the downloads coming!
the sword is no match for the shotgun, i would place flame grenades or a trip mine instead so that you can get whoever has the shotgun at the last second or as he's running around the corner
