    Hey forgehub this is my first sandbox map so here it goes:

    "Desolate"

    A symmetrical 2 based map on the ground level of sandbox. Both bases are 2 stories and have a walkway on one side with a main grav lift in the middle of the walkway. Map boats a nice center piece that is the quickest way from Blue to Red. Oversheild spawns under neath the center piece.

    Map was created with unlimited budget glitch.

    Gametypes:
    Slayer
    CTF (capture the flag)
    KOTH (king of the hill)
    Oddball
    Assault
    Territories

    Weapon specs:

    6 Br's
    2 Shotguns
    2 Maulers
    1 Sniper
    4 Stickies/Plasma nades
    4 Frag nades

    Special items:
    1 OS
    1 bubble shield
    1 power drain

    Now picture time:

    Blue Base:

    Tunnel to blue basement:

    What main lift used to be like:

    Center piece:

    Overview:

    Map plays very well and is balanced very equally. While playing you have a choice rush middle and grab the over shield and try to survive the bullets or go around and sneak up on your enemy.

    Very nicely made. Glad it's something unique and not a building or pyramid of some sort. Getting tired of seeing the same old, recycled stuff here. Hopefully there is no way of getting outside the map. That would ruin the game play.

    It looks pretty easy to get out of the map to be honest, especially if you have frags (which you obviously will do)...

    you can try lol, both bases have double blocks that overlap the base, the grav area has double bridges that overlap too much to grenade jump. the area's where the double bridges meet the buildings i put more item's to block it off but it might be able to get out there but other than that no, iv tried and my friends have to no avail.

    I know a few things are off center, like the middle of the map the grav lift and the pillar wall but thats about it, other than the wall's for floors moved a lil due to the saving issue.

    on this i have a sketch up of what i intedned to do, but it seems this will be the v2 of Desolate aka Burnt Blood "Desolate is a h2 map name well it was Desolation idk i don't think of names"

    http://www.forgehub.com/forum/halo-forge-discussion/66064-sketchup-desolate.html

    sketch up is at the bottom of the page the first part is the same pics as here.

    In each of the bases, can you grenade jump on the small column, and grenade jump again out of the map?

    The map looks nice, it should be escape-proof.

    Im pretty sure that you posted this in the competitive section as well...
    If you havent, my mistake but you should probably keep the other one since I agree with iiHeCtic

    Nice work, but I like v2 better (I think there is a v2). Anyway 4/5 because you can escpae the map pretty easy. Nice centre piece.
