    Mantaray V3
    Reference to the song "Mantaray" by Buckethead

    YouTube - "Mantaray V3"-Halo 3 Forge Map (Tribute to Buckethead)

    Mantaray V3-
    My final map in the Mantaray series and by far the best. What has been edited is vehicles & weapons. I realized the wraiths and ghosts were just to powerful for the standards of the map. So I deleted them. The warthog did not stay very stable while driving in the aesthetic filled map. So that was replaced by a prowler which has much better capability of not flipping over ever 10 seconds. The banshees I kept. That was the hardest decision so the missile launcher was replaced by the spartan laser which appeared in V1. Now the team that has the spartan laser has the power to take down a banshee or prowler. If not controlling the spartan laser, they may use there teams banshee to take down the other teams. I have also added a brute shot so people could knock around the prowler. All but one thing in this map is edited, the scenery. Heres the lovely picture I provide you with at the beggining of each new thread:

    i like the changes you made with the vehicles and the weapon placements but (im trying to be rude) i think that you should play your maps a lot or have a few preset beta players to help you test it out and get others opinion, but make sure that they arnt bias, and will tell you to add needlers in every map you make that starts to get anoying. then makes somechanges to it and you wont need to make so many versions. but none the less this map looks really cool. ill try it out tonight.

    Do not post a new thread for minor changes to a map, simply update the original one. Otherwise you look like a douchebag who's just hunting for downloads.

    Just lookin at the pics, this looks like it would be fun for one sided games. I think its a little empty or open between the bases though, so I would have to see it. The weapon set seems fine to me, depending on there respawn times. Maybe add the respawn times and spare clips in on the weapon list. I wouldnt mind checkin it out.

    As far as what Squidhands said... listen to him. That does look kinda bad. Ill DL and give you a review soon.

    nice map.
    i think it would be a little better if you would interlock your objects that it looks cleaner.
    i would also edit the middle a little bit i think its too open but overall i think loos quiet fun and i will download it

    please note for the future that I cannot put in something in the middle as my budget has reached its limit. I know the middle seems partially empty but just from playing on the map from what I have learned with my friends, Its really a small space
