    Hey guys!

    ive recently forged a map, its one of my first good ones I believe, and I need some advice from professionals...

    its mainly an MLG (perhaps CTF) map on Foundry. its symmetrical, plays pretty nice, asks for teamwork etc... it has a couple of layers, different "zones" and tactical jumps.

    but I could use some advice / help placing Objective points, weapons, spawns etc...

    so If any of you guys could check it out / give your opinion / help me improve it, I would be very grateful.

    **NOTE** 3 downloads already :) but yet, no opinions..

    you can get it of my fileshare (Gamertag: Flee4me, slot 2) or from this bungie.net link:
    Halo 3 File Details

    ok, so this is one side of the map.
    its this kind of battlefield, with barricades, a stairs to divide the area and a few boxes
    to provide some tactical jumps all the way up to the highest frontline of the map
    [​IMG]

    this is an overview of the main structure in the map's center.
    the open box in the middle contains the rockets, and on top of it lies the overshield.
    the middle box can be used to move from one side to the other, taking the high road.
    all the way near the back you can see the mauler tower.

    [​IMG]

    the mauler tower. provides some tactical overview. from this high vantage point you can see about 3/4 of the map along with some great cover. and, ofcourse, the mauler spawns here.
    but be careful though! behind each sign there are 2 fusion coils hidden, which make camping there Very dangerous :)
    from the bridge you can either jump on the upper level, or take a (way harder) gamma / bounce jump to reach the overshield on the rocket box.
    [​IMG]

    Just a center shot. this basically is the view when standing on one of the upperledges, in between the two barricades. crouching behind any of them will render you completely invisible but be aware of the walls around you. a simple, well-thrown nade bouncing of them, can be devestating. Hiding in the corners can be useful for camping but you are extremely vurnerable from any kind of fire / nades out of any other direction. teamwork will be required if you want to grab the rockets and get away with them.

    [​IMG]

    this is one of the upper ledges. its counterpart looks exactly the same.
    the upper ledges are reachable by several tactical jumps or by an easy step which will be shown later on.
    jumping down from here on the staircases in front of the bases will allow you to perform a gamma / bounce jump to skip one out of the 2 stories of the base and go for a quick flag grab!
    [​IMG]

    so this is the easiest way to reach the upper level. on either side's main stairs you can find a door and a sign sticking to the wall. jump from the staircases / any of the boxes on the "battlefield" to reach these and get all the way up!
    (these doors / signs will be shown soon in better screenshots / aswel as the bases)
    [​IMG]

    a few more pics will be here soon, so keep your eyes open for them!
    and even though a picture says more than a 1000 words, just download and play it!
    screenshots arent everything. you've got to play it and experience the map before you judge.

    Thanks already,
    Thomas.

    You really need to have pictures when you first post it.
    you will get most of your views/downloads during the short time that it is on the new maps on the front page,
    trust me, without pictures you will be hard pressed to break 10 Downloads.

    well, the major game types to use it with would be MLG / team slayer / capture the flag...

    but I havent really completed it yet because I need some experienced forger's help with spawns, weapons, objective points etc...

    nope, no interlocking used on this map.
    thanks alot for downloading :D

    let me know if you like it, ok?

    Your pics are way to small, they are just thumbnail links to the real pics I don't know what you did wrong but, just go to haloscreenshots.net, then search your gametag and DL your pics and then use the BB code form the pics you want and use the [image][\image] coding with the link to the pics to get your pics really embedded.
