Arial Base RvB Alright, so like many others, I picked up my copy of Halo Wars and received the Mythic Map Pack along with the best forging map ever... Sandbox. This is my first map on Sandbox but I've some experience from before with maps like Foundry. Anyway, I am pretty proud of it, took me forever. Best played 3v3 or 4v4, CTF, and consists of two bases, Red and Blue hence the name "RvB" and a mid section to cross with two tunnels. Now obviously it's quite a bit more complex than I've described and the only real way to get an idea of what it's like is to either DL, check out my vid which is currently muted, or take a look at the pictures I've posted. I've tried it out and it's loads of fun. Please DL, you won't regret it...

There is a bubble shield that can be thrown down blocking the way in the middle. I used an upside down arch to take cover behind, it's just the right height to look over and is great for sniping and BR's. This is the lower floor of the base and this is the upper floor Other Gameplay Shots Download Arial Base RvB
Goddamn it. Every time I improve MY sandbox map, someone else makes something better. Something like this. This is one of the best competitive maps I've seen since Foundry Tunnels. This looks great. I'm definitely downloading this. Great job! 8.5/10.
From first glance it looked a bit linear, but now I see the multiple levels and know better. The long "tube segment" hallways look a bit inescapable if you get into a firefight, but I'm sure that this does not detract much from the gameplay. Nice job.
this looks great!!!! this would be awsome for team related variants, especially CTF, i like how there is two sky bases that have like a small battle field in the middle of them, nice job, ill DL and check it out great job 5/5
when i saw the post i opened it up and thought it would be some ameteur map but its not its pretty neatly made and it also looks like a load of fun youve got my dl
Outstanding job! This map looks dull from far away but when you get in close it's an awesome map. This is not your "look I made a cheap map but it looks decent"! The symetry was amazing, anytime I try to get symetry going I get really bored and just go all over the place. I can tell that you spent some time on this and you deserve a 9.7/10 (not 10/10 because the outside view could be enhanced if you can make a map like that)
Personally, I think this map looks great, i think that the flag spawns etc should be moved down a level because it is quite a walk from the bottom of the base to the top it seems. Great map overall
Wow, this map looks great. I love the idea of being able to go to an upper floor...good for the sniper. I think if you made this map "eye" pleasurable it would be good enough for matchmaking. 4.5/5. Great job!
Thanks for the comments I'm glad that you guys like my map. I know two people have rated the map with stars, and I appreciate it, but It would be great to get more. Please DL. Thanks again.
good job dude. You really put in the time for this. It has good flow, good aesthetics and is cleanly forged. You might, however, want to make a few changes. First off, you should add segments for crossing between the two tunnels as it will make them less of a death trap. also, try lowering the side and back walls on the roof. If its not a roof and is a second floor, then I'd put a roof on it. anyways, I'd give it a 4/5
The format from the pictures kind of reminds me a bit of the last map that I did on Avalanche, wonder if its much bigger? How much of the item list did you use? I really like that so many more people are floating maps now, before sandbox there was only a hand full of us that could actually make good floating maps. Well I like the pictures and how you put alot of game play in them. I think I'll download it.
Granted, I haven't played it, but after walking through, I'm kinda disappointed. I really liked the overview of the map, but it seems like some things could use cleaning up: The top of the bases could use some tunnel ramps or something to give an easier transition up there. Either that, or get the walls so that they're smooth with the edge of the blocks. Also, 2 snipers, 2 spartan lasers, and 2 shotguns seems a tad excessive for a map this size. If I could suggest, take the brute shot in the middle out, remove both shotguns, and put 1 shotgun there. And take the spartan lasers out. If you want, replace their spawns with brute shots. Otherwise, I love the layout and the look. Keep it up.
Good post Sorry I haven't commented yet. Its actually a pretty solid map. I played with Joe today and it stood up better that I expected it to for CTF. Can't wait for your next map.
Thanks for the comments... working on another CTF map in the crypt called "Burial Base RvB" which will go along with "Aerial Base RvB" in my "RvB CTF" sandbox map pack along with another I haven't started which will be on the main level of sandbox. I'll have Burial up soon.
I've never seen anything more symetrical...thats a compliment...This level reminds me of some level I played like 6 years ago in a Red Fraction 2...I like that level....this map looks really nice and well put together so I will download it. Keep up the good work!
