    Hello all, and welcome to the V3 of Radial. this being the final version. The saga of Radial ends here, with this map. Welcome...to Radiation.

    BACKSTORY

    Thousands of years ago, the Forerunners built a majestic battle arena, to watch prisoners and criminals fight for honor. Sadly, the Forerunners did not clean up the bodies, and bacteria in the bodies evolved, resulting in the first of the Flood parasites. The Forerunners turned off and fled the arena, leaving it to collapse. Now, in 2552, the Covenant have found the arena, turned it back on, and now use it as a base for Elites. There were rotting bodies, but they were removed. Now, the UNSC have attacked, and the two sides fight for dominance in the arena.

    DESCRIPTION

    This map is hexagonal, with about a quarter of it being collapsed. There is a central tower with four spokes radiating out from it. These spokes go to a catwalk ringing the entire map. A massive energy column the Forerunners created has fallen. The block that fell was full of energy, so the Covenant attached a Plasma Cannon to feed off of it. The map has a red and a blue mancannon that lift you to the second level. For a better description, this map is similar to the Halo 2 map Desolation. There are two plasma generators powering the entire map, and there is a shield recharging station. There is lots of cover. For more info see "Extras" at the bottom.

    WEAPONS

    The map has only Covenant weapons on it.

    -Plasma Grenade x8
    -Firebomb Grenade x2
    -Power Drain x1
    -Rader Jammer x1
    -Plasma Cannon x1
    -Energy Sword x1
    -Fuel Rod Gun x1
    -Needler x2
    -Sentinal Beam x4
    -Plasma Pistol x3
    -Plasma Rifle x7
    -Covenant Carbine x8
    -Beam Rifle x1

    PLAYABILITY

    All power weapons have not much ammo and/or don't respawn for a while. As I said before, the map plays all gametypes. Since the map is small, rounds pass quickly, so if you play an objective game, there should be multiple rounds. Hint: The Plasma Cannon offers some cover, but has a small field of fire, and it is smart to rip it off and carry it around. 2-8 players recommended, 10 at most. The shield recharging station has grav lifts because it helps prevent camping. While you destroy the grav lift trapping you, someone could easily toss a grnade through a gap in the ceiling. This map was tested, and all testers said nothing should be changed.

    EXTRAS

    The map, in some gametypes like King Of The Hill and Territories, a large beam shoots out the central tower. The map has a shield recharging station. There are many caves in the ruined section of the arena's wall.There are four sentinal beams, one in each corner of the map. There is an easter egg teleporter outside of the map, it leads to a rare and widely unknown secret room.

    The interlocking looks nice, and you did the main structure quite well, it looks Forerunner-y. You might have to much powerweapons, but seeing that you reduced the respawn time and ammo, I don't think that's a problem. I'm not a big fan of easter eggs, so I hope it doesn't hurt the gameplay too much. Good job, 4/5

    Your forging skills are very good. nice interlocking and geomerging. you know what your doing. the map is ok for me. the structure in the middle is cool but then you have other random things that take away from the maps overall feel. i would suggest when making a map to stick to a certain playlist instead of many. overall good map.

    The easter egg is out of the map, so it doesn't affect gameplay at all.
    Orange Blob, if you are going to rate it one star when all other ratings were fairly high, you had better have a good reason. >: (
