    Terminal Virus
    Map Backgroud

    This map was dedicated to Terminal Virus, a long time friend of mine. This map is a medium to small symmetrical map. It supports all gametypes, and there is much visible interlocking, and everything is straight and clean. This map was not rushed, and the overall "Forge-Time" spent on this map was 7-8 hours(over the span of a week).



    Weapons List:

    x6 Battle Rifle
    x2 Covenant Carbine
    x4 Plasma Rifle
    x2 Missle Pod(180)
    x2 Needler(90)
    x2 Mauler(90; 1 clip)
    x2 Sniper Rifle(120; 1 clip)
    x1 Energy Sword(120)
    x10 Plasma Grenades
    x2 Bubble Sheild(120)
    x2 Regenerator(120)

    Forge Techniques Used

    Interlocking: [YES]
    Merging: [--]
    Instant Respawn: [--]
    Timed Map Event(s): [--]
    Floating: [YES]



    Final Notes
    - As I said earlier, this map works with all gametypes, and the spawns are pretty good from what I can tell.
    - Somehow(using a Stacked Canvas) I managed to get the budget from $1500 down to, I think, $56!!!
    - It has come to my attention that this map in some ways resembles a ship.
    - This map is named after, aswell as dedicated to, my long time friend, Terminal Virus.
    - Upon further Spawn Testing, I believe that the Spawns in Terminal Virus are perfectly set up; you never see anyone else spawn!
    - This map seems like it could potentially be good for Griffball.

    Very nice map indeed...i like the use of the tunnels in this map. most people just waste them and make it useless. I would also like to see a closer pic of the big tower at each base. From what i see it looks really unique. for me its a 4.5/5

    PS: Check out my map...i hope that isnt spamming..lol

    Thanks. BTW, you can't get up into each bases tower, it's purely aesthetic. It's kind of like Valhalla's towers.

    P.S. I fixed it... Lulz!

    Well, I decided to dedicate a map to him because he was my 1st friend on XBL. There are no other weapon spawns, I believe...

    Looks cool, I like the lighting, and how it has multiple levels. The tube boxs' were used really well and it looks really neat. Do you run into problems with falling off to much in gameplay? Maybe put cheater walls along the sides to prevent that, but the download is definate. Nice job.

    Now this looks great. I really love the look of it. The symmetrical layout looks great, and the aesthetics get high scores from me too. Overall, this map = win. Great job! 4/5.

    the layout is pretty cool in some parts and you came up with some interesting structures in the middle section of the map, but overall i find the forging to be pretty sub-par. you should spend more time interlock and neaten the map. its not always necessary but when the lack of it affects playability, it is

    Haha! Now that you say it, it does kind of look like like a ship. That was not the intent, but it is funny. Thank you to everyone who gave me positive feedback, but I would also like to see how some people think it could be improved.

    wow, talk about a spammed up post...

    the map. yeah. it's pretty much awesome. and... is that a pit under the sword? if so, awesome idea.

    the map layout looks pretty unique, even though it is eerily similar to a map i made. i like how you used the lights to good effect, actually making a glow on the map. so many other people just put it randomly floating above their base. one other thing i like is how you used the tunnels. you didn't make them huge and elaborate, and kinda blended it into the rest of the map.

    This is a pretty solid map. I like all the detail and structural work you put into this. I don't know if anyone else thinks this but the middle reminds me of a part of the campaign level in Cortana. Weird.. I only have one concern however, what purpose does the missle pod serve. I may be missing something but by the looks of it there aren't any vehicles and it's really quite hard to hit anything else with it. Please respond to answer my slight concern.
