    Intro

    Aero is a small, fast paced, arena style symmetrical map designed to be both fun and competitive.
    I feel that arena style maps such like Midship from Halo 2 are something that Halo 3 has not had, and so maps like Midship influenced the design of this map a lot.


    Concepts

    Originally designed with MLG gametypes in mind, the weapon set for this map is quite limited, but is designed to encourage movement around the map - something that the original version lacked.
    Whilst designing and testing Aero, i tried to include many interesting lines of sight, and to stop it from feeling "cluttered" or "random".
    Everything flows and feels like it has a purpose, everything is neither too complex, nor too simple, and everything provides an fun and balanced arena.


    Weapon Set

    4 x Battle Rifle - 0:10 respawn
    1 x Carbine - 0:10 respawn
    4 x Frag Grenades - 0:10 respawn
    2 x Plasma Grenades - 0:10 respawn
    1 x Sniper Rifle - 2:30 drop spawn
    1 x Overshield - 2:00 respawn
    1 x Plasma Pistol - 1:30 respawn
    1 x Needler - 2:00 respawn
    2 x Dual SMGs - 0:30 respawn


    Download Links

    There are four different versions of the map you may want to download. This is because in order to make the map versatile and fun in both gametypes, i used diffferent spawns and a different spawn system for Slayer and CTF.
    There are separate versions for Slayer and CTF with the described weapon set, designed for normal gametypes.
    There are separate versions for Slayer and CTF with MLG weapons, designed for MLG playstyle and gametypes.

    All links are to a MAP

    Wow. This is pretty amazing. The structures are unique, and it appears to play well. Also, the column, large ramp, connector things just stand out. Great job! You've earned my DL.

    I don't see a map download linkd, there are like 4 gametypes and I can't the the map?... I WANT THE MAP... that means it looks good.

    EDIT: I didn't notice you had two types, one for CTF and one for Slayer, but it would be easier on all of us to have them on the same version.

    Sorry, i made that a bit confusing, all the links are to a map, there are no gametype links, but i am glad you want to download it :) All feedback is welcome.

    Oh, and i would have loved to have both CTF and Slayer on one versions, but the spawn systems just don't work on one map, so sadly i had to have 2.

    This is really well made. I like the pillar ramps, they remind me like the pillars on construct that lead you to the third floor. Interlocking is smooth and isn't bumpy. Nice job

    This is a great map, well forged, very smooth in my opinion teleporters look a little too open and need some cover (like in warlock from halo 2) but other than that fantastic map!
