Map Title: Lockdown Medium, competative map, Download Map Description: I am a fan of Sanctuary and I decided that I would build a remake of the old map from Halo 2. Upon making the map I found it difficult to make the map true to the Halo 2 version so I decided to make a new map completely but kept things similar to Sanctuary (such as the sword spawn). The map plays best with MultiCTF (preferably with lower respawn times) and Team slayer, with up to 3 people per team as the map is quite small. I hope you guys enjoy it as its my first go at a competative map. Overview Overview 2 Down the middle Red backramp Blue backramp Red sniper Blue sniper Red Carbine tunnel Blue Carbine tunnel Blue Mauler tunnel Red Mauler tunnel Weapons list 2x Sniper (both with 1 clip) 2x Mauler 1x Sword 2x Carbine 2x Battle rifle (full clip) 4x Battle rifle (1 clip)
This map looks really good. It's not just a bunch of interlocked double boxes to create a new environment you actually used Foundry (not saying new environments are bad its just this is a different). But you said it was a small competitive map. It's anything but small compared to other 1v1 2v2 etc maps. It's medium-slightly big sized.
Thanks for the compliments, I put small sized because I think it plays best with a small group of people. I thought that say 4 vs 4 would turn into a spawn killing fest but I have yet to test 4 v 4 so I dont know. I'll change the description to medium as you are quite right, it is much bigger than other 1v1 maps and 2v2 maps.
I agree with DizfuNk. This map is quite big compared to 1v1 maps. By the looks of it, a 3v3 looks good on this map. Either that or the giant pics make it look big, lol. Also, where are the turrets? Were they too dominating?
lol yeh the large pictures may lead people to believe that the map is larger than it actually is. I would suggest downloading it and having a look around and you'll see why it is best for 3 v 3. The turrets were too dominating and gave each team too many power weapons.
I think that the middle is too bare unless the map has vehicles on it. It looks pretty straight forward (as in run straight and get the flag). I don't think that the Sword would be really affective in such a big enviroment, maybe a rocket or laser would do. These are just some of my suggestions. Other than that, the bases look neat and tidy.
The middle part is sort of bare, I also remember Santuary having a few rocks to take cover here and there, perhaps have some crates or wire spools here and there. About the sword, with VestigeL's suggestion of rockets or laser, I would put a Rocket Launcher with a long respawn time and only two rockets. A laser wouldn't do as well I believe, but I'm actually okay with the sword, it's similar to the Banshee on Sandtrap. Get it and fly away before you get lasered or bombed with missiles. For the sword, wait out the power weapons and start swording. Also, do the Maulers have 2 spare clips? I think they replace the shotguns from H2, and in H2, the shottys had plenty of ammo to burn, so hopefully they have plenty as well. Wow I typed a bunch lol.
