Pavilion [/URL] The overview Story Pavilion used to be the main UNSC training ground during the war, however it was left when the forces trianing here were needed. As it was a top secret place no one knew the whereabouts of the facility and so it was left in prestine consition. Years later war veterans found it a turned into a symmetrical battleground for spartans to train on. Description Pavilion is an symmetrical map on the middle of sandbox with a base on each end of the area. It takes up about half of the area down in the middle. Pavilion is set up for team based games such as capture the flag, team slayer, king of the hill and team oddball. It does not really work on FFA because of spawns placed and the positioning of power weapons which would mean that some players get an advantage as the power weapons are placed in the middle which is an equal distance between the bases. The map provides intense gameplay with different heights and length of view and so on.

Wow, cool idea. It seems you took your time in the map and it showed off. It sort off reminds me of turf. From the pics it looks like you can get out of the map very easily. Have you made it cheat proof? If not, a V2 might need to be done to fix it. also I love where you put the sniper, It is stratigic and well placed. overall 9/10 nice map EDIT: P.S. dont rate your own map, it makes you look like a douche.
Hey hey, this looks really cool. Im not easily inpressed but wow dude. I really like the layout. The map looks really fun. Nice job. I would look into possible escape points though. This map doesnt look to difficult to escape. Other than that, nice job.
The map does look solid, but it shares the same issue a majority of these Main Level sandbox maps share. Many of these map that utilize a surrounding wall are too easy to be broken; one little grenade and you're out. So what's to keep someone from grabbing the sniper and going out to a dune to snipe. Exactly why the main level should be used for larger scale, free-roam Objective based maps. I'd relocate for a v2 as this has potential.
I agree your pipeline is fantastic but lets not talk about that here. Your map looks amazing and the pictures show it off very well. I think your weapon choice was well chosen and their power weapon positioing must get a mention, for instance the shotgun placed on the ground floor in a tight sort of area just right for a shotgun! 6/5
Ok, lets get something straight please can you download and show me evidence of where you can get out of the map instead of saying you can do it based on the pictures. Relocating the map would be impractical because of the amountof items you would need for the floor and I cant see this map working in the crypt. Thanks
Thank you and yes when i get round to it I will fix the arch, got a bit sloppy at that bit because it was many for a roof until in the pic i realised its aesthetic look.
Very nice map. I'm liking this one a lot. Very intricate, medium-sized map with lots cover and opportunities for CQC. Nice work on the different levels of elevation as well. I'll be keeping this one and trying it out in a game. I really don't get the big deal with escaping a map. Some people are so worried about it. Do you know how impractical it is to be trying to escape a map from grenade jumping or whatever if you're playing with people actually taking the game seriously? You won't even be able to make it out of the map. Besides, if someone is gonna be doing that, I wouldn't even be playing with them. Enjoy the map and the game for what it is.
Thank you! Someone who agrees with me finally! Thanks for the comment and I cannot believe someone voted my map 1 star without a comment... people these days
I have played this map a few times and i liked how the center was put together, also each end is well thought out and I cant wait to play other game types on it... The sniper in the middle is really somthing to chase after when you first start playing.. my friend played assault on it and he said it worked out well, maybe you should look into that..
I think the idea of the holes in the ramps at each base were excellent! This map looks like gameplay is balanced and excellent. The central bridge provides cover and vulnerabilities, which is balance. I think that since there is an open area at the bottom, it is between instant-kill and no damage for the shotgun, making it balanced again. I'd give this map a 5/5.
Looks like a pretty solid map. This actually reminds me of the map "Pavilion" from GOW2, the second picture looks just like one of the bases from GOW2. Anyway, this looks smooth and clean. The flow and gameplay might be a problem though, because of all of the cover. And in some places it looks like you may be able to break the map. Great Job though.
wow, the idea and forging that went into this are outstanding, loks like a great team based map and i will be looking forward to playing with a group of friends later great map 5/5
Wow, thanks for the amazing comments, yes i had made thsi map think of pavilion from gears of war 2 lol. It was because i liked the name for a map. Then i just added a bit of the actually map in each base! Thanks
You really seem to like this map! I like that and you did take your time on it. Just make it a bit neater on some parts and you will be fine. As for the "jumping out of the map" thing dont worry about it. Its just one of those things that people dont like. It really dosent affect gameplay if you play with the right people. But seriosly - nice map P.S. I love the tunnels
Thank you, yes I did take my time on this but, well as my friend puts it, "i'm a quick forger" haha. Thanks for agreeing with me about the jumping out of map and so on! And im glad you like the tunnels I do too!
The map works yes, but it is very easy to escape from, i have a video of me doing it in about 10 seconds with a single grenade. if you get onto the columns in the middle, you can grenade jump up to the walls in the middle and just walk out from there. I would recommend removing the columns or making the map larger inside the crypt. for now 3/5
