    This map failed to impress me at all. The spawns were horrible, the weapons had poor placement, and the objective spawns were terrible. Just kidding!

    The Ocho is one of my current favorite maps, not just because it's in the skybubble (a big plus), but because the map geometry and aesthetics create a great looking and great playing map. I had no trouble testing, and still have no trouble with spawning, which I believe is now hard to come by on most modern maps. I saw no balance issues (well duh! It's a symmetrical map), and weapon placement is superb. I think my favorite part about this map is the jump not accessible by objective holding players.

    Overall, this map is really, really good, and is worth the download.
    Great job, ehand88.

    Thank you sir. This was one of the main ideas behind the whole map, I'm glad it turned out that way.

    Thanks, I spent alot of time trying to set up a decent respawn system, and it seems to work well.


    IMPORTANT
    The Ocho has been updated. Changes include:
    -Rocket launcher clip reduced to 0 (it was supposed to be set up that way)
    -Plasma grenades set to 20 sec respawn
    -Removed magnums, moved BR from underneath base to Red/Blue corner
    -All z-fighting removed from the grassy area
    -cannot be escaped, fully enclosed now
    -overall; more clean looking, smoother floors
    -improved respawn system

    Please download the latest version of The Ocho.

    I made most of these changes in preparation for my ATLAS submission, which I am working on now. Wish me luck!

    i broke your map!
    i can haz cookie?
    heres a film, sorry i cant render it-Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details

    for those lazy people i did a buddy jump+grenade grenade jump to get out. I used a regen, but that probably isn't necesary; i just didn't want to wait for my shields to respawn. There basically isn't much you can do about this. Youve hit the item limit and i could do this almost anywhere on the map. This shouldn't be a problem for customs, but i don't think youll get this into MM breakable. Sorry dude

    also-ehand when you download it, let me know so i can take it off my share.

    Looks great. One thing I was unsure of was the block for the red block jump. Does it flip or move around, affecting gameplay? I will Download and test for a full review.
