    A sandbox map variant made by B1gB1rd09.

    Changes in V2 include:

    1. More cover in bases
    2. Banshees that spawn 2 minutes into game instead of Hornets
    3. Spartan laser added
    4. More merging, therefore generally neater map
    5. More cover
    6. Updated weapon list

    Ash is a competitive map that came to me when I was sitting in Sandbox messing around with the killball. I thought "Hmmm... this could be used to make a volcano!"

    And so, that's what I did. I made the volcano, and from there I thought that I could probably make a map out of it. So, I began sculpting two bases on each side of the volcano. I then began placing cover and weapons, and soon, Ash was born.

    Ash is best played with team King of the Hill (Red and Blue teams only), Team slayer (Red and Blue teams only) Multi Flag CTF, Assault, and Territories (Red and Blue teams only).

    Weapon List
    Ash has it's share of power weapons. These are used mainly to keep the many vehicles at bay, and to keep people focused on the volcano and give them a reason to go anywhere near them.
    (note that the weapon list at this time may be slightly off)

    • Frag grenades x?
    • Plasma grenades x?
    • BR x8
    • AR ammo
    • SMG x2(?)
    • Spikerx2(?)
    • Sniper x2
    • Rocket Launcher x2
    • Shotgun x2
    • Brute Shot x2
    • Missile Pod x1
    • Bubble Shield x1
    • Trip Mine x2
    • Power Drain x1
    • Regenerator x1
    • Flare x1
    • Warthog (Turret) x2
    • Mongoose x4
    • Banshee x2
    • Spartan Laser x1
    Note: I will double check the weapon list at a later time.

    I really like the architect of the bases. And although I love the banshee, I could see it being a bit overpowered.

    I agree with thi ^^^ but i also have some input of my own. It looks really fun. The gameplay on this map looks fonaminal (spelling?). I can't really tell if this is true but the bases look a little simple. idk if this is true or if it is good how it is or whatever, thats just how it looks. Could you maybe include some more pictures closer up on the base. I really like how this map looks and im gonna have to give it a closer look (as in im downloading, you see what i did there *lols to self*)

    EDIT: also, the brute shots seem like they could be overpowering. Just a guess. Finally, if there is a v3, You should make the rocket floating above the volcano so it makes it more risky to get it!

    good job

    Thanks for the input =D.

    The bases are relativley simple, but it is mainly because it keeps the gameplay on the outside. (and I MAYYY have hit the object limit >_>)

    Oh, and I have an overshield floating over the volcano, I think. I just forgot to update the weapon list =P.
