    Death Pit
    Death Pit might not sound like a mini game map at first, but I assure you it is. The map is a symmetrical map with two bases on each side. In the center is a small arena and in the center of that is a kill ball. The object of the game is to use gravity hammers to knock your opponent either off the map, assassinate them, or the most fun, knock them into the kill ball. Each base has a one-way tunnel (I'll explain why it's one-way later) that can be used to gain an advantage on your opponent in the arena. Each base has 4 hammers, but since you spawn with a gravity hammer they're just there for asthetic purposes. (I was also thinking of putting golf clubs instead of hammers so player can choose which one they want to use.)

    Pit Hammers
    Pit Hammers is a gamtype where each player starts off with a gravity hammer. There are no shield but the players can be killed eitther by being thrown off the map, into the kill ball, or assassinated.

    Now for some pics:

    Full Map:
    This is the full map as you can see there is a the two bases, the tunnels on the side, and the arena in the center.

    Blue Base:
    Here's Blue base both bases are the same but I still put up pictures of both bases. As you can see there's a tunnel entrance on the side and the gravity hammers in the center.
    [​IMG]

    Red Base:
    Same as blue base.
    [​IMG]

    Tunnel:
    Now as I said above both tunnels are one-way. That is because there is a man-cannon merged with one of the tube pieces to make sure that no enemies enter the opposing teams base.

    The Death PIt/Arena:
    Finally the Death PIt/Arena. As you can see there is a kill ball in the center, and on the sides there are the two tunnel exits.

    Notes:
    -I've tested this map and the only problem I found was that people can sit in the corners. So I tryed fixing that by putting fusion coils in the corners to try to keep them out.
    -The map has a couple of flaws, but they're just minor gaps between some of the pieces.

    What he means is people can use the hammer to launch himself onto the top of the boxes by hitting the floor with the grav hammer and jumping at the same time. But overall this looks like a fun map. I give it a 3.8/5 for aesthetics, And a 4/5 for game play.

    So wait, you've got a hammers gametype. Why exactly are there hammers on the map then? They really serve no purpose and you should just take them off. But that isn't a problem just wondering why. I love the map and the layout looks really good. The game sounds fun, but unfortunately I don't have Halo Wars LCE cause I'm broke for now. But I'll try and remember to download this later on in the month. Looks like fun though.

    The hammers are just there to make it look nice. i'm thinking about switching them to golf clubs(cause sandbox has golf clubs) instead.

    I love the idea, it sounds like soo much fin. And on top of that it was well made with an amusing layout. I dont understand why you didnt jsut give the players hammers to start with but thats okay with me.

    Directed to Twilight Snipe: Thanks for the comment. The players do start off with hammers, did you download the gamtype Pit Hammers for it?

    No I didnt, its a great map and all, but its definetely not phenomenal. For the maps that have been released so far on sandbox, this would place well in the top 15 of 30 Id say, but thats just until the standards rise and more maps come out,
