Map Title: Relic After the war, anything was up for grabs. That includes this desolate arena, considered a "Relic" by humanity. Download Map Description: It is the year 2553. After the war with the Covenant, things remained peaceful on Earth for a time, with humans finally accepting Elites into their society. However, a few months later, everything changed. Humans and Elites realised that everything was up for grabs. So, without much thought, war erupted across the Earth, with several landmarks becoming massive battlegrounds. That includes this desolate area. Once used as a pre-war arena, it is now considered a "Relic" by humanity. This arena consists of 4 bases, designed for a all-out brawl of epic proportions. It is compatible with all game types, so if you choose to unleash a zombie horde in this arena, you can without any fuss. Most of the action will take place in the centre of the map. In the centre, players will fight it out for probably the best weapon on the map: the Energy Sword. Each base is quite similar: each consist of 2 Mongooses, 2 Battle Rifles, 2 Grenades, 2 dual-wieldable weapons, a piece of equipment, and 1 primary weapon. 2 bases have turrets (the same-levelled bases), while the other 2 bases have Sniper Rifles (the higher and lower bases). In team games, it is important that your team take control really quickly, otherwise you'll be on the back foot. Try to take the more powerful weapons, push the opposing team back into their base, and you'll have more chance of success. The higher base contains something which I call the SLSIRM (Some Launch System I Randomly Made). Take the Grav Lift up and you'll be propelled into the centre of the map for a quick, easy return to the action. That's probably all you would need to know about this map. Please click the link up top and give this map a shot. It's been nearly a year since I promised you a new, better map. Well, here you go! (Teabagging optional)
you cannot link screenshots directly from bungie.net they don't work use something like photobucket or haloscreenshots to upload your pics. p.s DAMN IT!... i now need to think of another name for my upcoming map
Screenshots are working fine for me. I like the four base concept and the tube that deposits you back into the middle of the action, but I do see a couple areas for improvement, in my opinion. There is almost no cover at all on this map. Each base has a direct view the other bases without anything blocking the path. When you combine that with turrets(map seems a little small for them) I think it would be hard to stay alive on this map for more than 30 seconds or so. Also, I clicked the map link expecting to see a remake of H2's Relic. Keep that in mind when naming your map. The map has a nice start, but I fell you could do much more with it. Keep forging.
Screenshots have been fixed. For the person asking about the "No Cover" problem, the reason why I didn't put in much cover is that I developed this map with player skill in mind. Players will have to find their own covers and develop new tactics to breach the enemy lines. However, if I can ever be bothered, I may add something to quell the pain. Please leave more comments. It would be a lot of help to tell me your reactions towards this map.
have you tested this map? Because this is one of those maps that really doesnt look like it, there are way to many weapons on the map, and i dont really get the point of having a thousand mongooses on such a small level
I have tested this map many, many times with my friends on several game types and each test has been proven successful.
