    Bloody Orbit (5v5 or more works best)

    The Map

    The Gametype

    _______________________________________________________

    This is a map that really shows what sandbox can do, what had been attempted to be made on maps like Avalanche is now easy on sandbox with twice the budget and now a skybubble so you can’t just walk around outside the spaceship. Bloody Orbit is my ship map, 'mr shago' and 'A27 STARWOLF' and myself 'King Of Kashmir' have managed to create what promises to be an epic space battle between 2 ships trying to plant the bomb in each other’s bases.

    ___________________________________________________________
    The Gametype:

    The only Gametype created so far is Assault, called 'Space Combat' with special rules involving the custom powerup in the station making you stronger and several rules about the bomb planting. We may create more later on, but this seemed the most fun after watching the countdown timer go down, sitting back safely in your ship and watching the enemies explode...

    To carry the bomb to the enemy ship you will need hornets, these are proper hornets with missiles so are not to be underestimated just because they are being used for transport. With the hornet in each ship are 2 banshees, these are used for fighter protection (destroying the other banshees, hornets and ship flak cannons).

    A maximum of 3 people in the hornet, 2 in the banshees, which leaves whoever left stuck in the ship, these people can now control the ships flak guns. The flak guns consist of 2 stationary choppers in one (choppers guns are extremely effective) and a chopper and 2 plasma cannons in the other. The people on these will be trying to help take out enemy aircraft to stop them landing the bomb on their ship or by trying to shoot the enemy ships flak guns.

    ____________________________________________
    The map:

    In between the 2 ships lies a miniature dwarf star (yes I know, it's actually a killball) this is partly for perspective, showing where the bottom of the map is and where you don’t want to fly beneath less you blow up on the height barrier, it is extremely useful trust me.

    Also set off the side of the map is a neutral station with docking pads for hornets. Banshees cannot land in the station (well they can but not well and are a bugger to get out of). This station is almost a resting point on the map, that you can use as cover and safety, in it lie light anti air weapons such as a fuel rod gun and two sentinel beams. You can also pick up the custom power up and cause even more destruction.
    ____________________________________________________
    Weapons on map:

    Bruteshot x2
    Sentinal beam X2
    Fuel rodX2
    Misslepod x2

    Trust me you won’t need many weapons. I recommend using the sword as the primary weapon.

    Thankyou so much to all those that helped with the creation of this map (starwolf and shago) and those who remained patient through its many bugged playtests. We couldn't have made this map without you.

    Looks awesome!!!

    i have been waiting for a decent looking air-based map to play as i return to the halo community.

    5/5
    *im a bit concerned about if all of one teams aircraft are eliminated, how that affects gameplay.

    The vehicles may have a run-time minimum, I don't know.
    Check it?
