    Genotype
    There is now a Genotype v2 called Phenotype.
    See it here

    This map is made for multi flag capture the flag and assult, but can be used with slayer and one flag.​

    Weapons List
    Assault Rifle x4
    Battle Rifle x4
    Sniper Rifle x2
    Plasma Pistol x2
    Rocket Launcher x2
    Spartan Laser x1
    Machine Gun Turret x2
    Banshee x4
    Transport Hornet x2
    Frag Grenade x4
    Plasma Grenade x12
    Bubble Shield x2
    Power Drain x2​

    This is the Red Base
    [​IMG]

    This is the Blue Base
    [​IMG]
    Each base spawns with a Rocket Launcher, a Sniper Rifle, two ARs, two BRs, and a Power Drain​

    When you spawn you have several options:​

    You could get into a vehicle
    or
    You could grab a weapon and head to the structure in the middle
    [​IMG]

    The structure spawns a spartan laser on top, the only one on the map, so controlling it is very important​

    Another option is to head to the teleporters on both sides of either base
    [​IMG]

    These teleporters send you to one of two tunnels in the Crypt
    [​IMG]
    (notice the plasma pistol spawn)​

    Each teleporter and tunnel is coordinated so if you go into the teleporter on one side, you will always go into the same tunnel and always come out the other side​

    You have my download. I know you'll get comments saying either:
    - Banshees overpowering
    - One path isn't enough
    But unique structures and layouts like this is what keeps Forge alive. We can't just have all of these cloned, interlocked, asymmetric all gametype maps.

    seems like an interesting map, but by the looks of it, there is no protection or cover against the banshees or hornets, unless you have control of the spartan laser.

    well one path isnt enough, especially in the open while your being bombarded by banshee fire.

    edit: also, if the flag carrier isnt killed by vehicles, he'll likely be picked off by rocket or sniper fire

    sorry, this was a nice attempt, but this map just isn't good for objective games.

    I have to agree with H3C x Nevz on the whole "keeping forge alive" thing. This is a creative map, gameplay looks nice, personal fan of bansees, I just have one queston though, are your hornets transport or do they have missiles? because either way i dont think the missiles will necessarily help anyway i was just curious.

    Anyway sweet map i'm looking forward to the next multitude of games your making

    Does anyone think before they name maps???? Do you even know what a genotype is? Did you just randomly loook in the dictionary for a cool word? BTW a genotype is the dominant and recessive alleles on a gene. How does your map reflect that?

    Genotype? Isn't that from Biology? lol

    Anyways cool map, not very original. Again there is too many vehicles on the map and not enough "land" space. The teleporters are a little confusing and I'm not really sure what they do to enhance the map.. 7/10

    haha do you relly want to know the thought process of my map?
    well it goes like this:
    theres two bases so i tried to think of something relating to two
    Double?
    no
    Bicycle?
    no
    then for some reason i thought of dihybrid cross (a way of predicting what traits something will have)
    Then i started thinking of something related to biology
    and i came up with genotype
    random yes i know but i think its better than sky attack or something

    *edit
    the teleporters are to add another way between the bases

    i would say this map needs improvement. your guna need more than just one long path for carrying the flag, the two banshees seems a little too much, the teleporters are ok but i would suggest on improving a wider variety of transport on the map itself

    It seems like it could be a good map, but for the moment it just doesnt seem like there is enough cover along the paths to both the teleporter and the central piece... i could see alot of spawn killing going on here... and i think maybe a few less aerial vehicles and ur map would be fine :) 5/10 for now.

    Check out my map Surroco: Surroco

    Then you should have done something more to reflect it. Dihybrid would have been a good name because i could see your thought process more. Di could be two bases while hybrid could be a mix of ground and air battles
