    Orifice v2.5

    Orifice...turning over a new leaf...its like a butterfly...one to be played by a player with dignity.. a symmetrical map...Lets get to the point. Playing with the addictiveness of Amplified, and the fun of Lockdown. Orifice... even your mom liked it.

    Orifice is a basic, MLG, type of map, whether you play for fun, or for competition this map is for you.
    there are two bases, one "yellow" tower, a mauler tunnel, and two domes, plus other cover and places to run. It is best used with MLG TSlayer gametype, but can be used with MLG Oddball. This map is even a great doubles map.

    Weapon Set
    BR x 4
    Carbine x 2
    Rockets x 1, 0 spare clips
    Mauler x 1
    Plasma Grenade x 3 sets
    Frag Grenade x 2 sets
    Multi Nade x 1 set

    Map Posting Rules:
    1. Threads must include at least one picture of the map.
    2. All pictures must be embedded.
    3. Download links must lead to a posted map on the bungie forums, NOT your fileshare.
    4. You must include at least a brief description of the map.
    5. Thread titles must consist of the map name ONLY - no other symbols, comments or irregular formatting.
    Failure to post your map correctly will result in a topic lock after 24 hours in the absence of a fix.




    For an easy method you can use the newer Haloscreenshots.net
    Just follow this simple 4-step process:

    1. Visit Haloscreenshots.net and enter your gamertag
    [​IMG]This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1197x748.[​IMG]

    2. On your screenshots page, click on the image you wish to embed
    [​IMG]This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1280x800.[​IMG]

    3. Highlight the link for the “BBCode (High Impact Halo)”
    [​IMG]This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1280x800.[​IMG]

    4. Paste the link into your post
    [​IMG]This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1280x800.[​IMG]

    BAM SCREENSHOT!


    For a larger image, click on the screenshot again, and use the image's URL in your post with the tags.

    For the older method you can use Bungie.net
    Alright, it has come to this. A pictured tutorial on how to embed your Halo 3 screenshots of your map, in your post. I see too many people post maps without pictures, not knowing how, and then members try to explain. So I made this:

    Embedding Screenshots in your Map Thread


    Part 1: Taking a screenshot

    Sorry, no pictures for this section, don't have a capture card, but it is soo easy, I shouldn't need to explain, but I will.

    1. After recently playing your map, go to "Theater Mode".
    2. Select the match you played, and "Start Film".
    3. Press "Y" after film has started, and pause the game (or not), and position your camera.
    4. Click the camera symbol on the navigation bar.
    5. Save it.


    Part 2: Getting your screenshot from Bungie.net

    1. Open up your Internet Browser (I use Firefox) and go to our dearly beloved Bungie.net, and go to My Stats/Find a Player.

    2. Then, go to the right of the screen, to "People Finder". Make sure that it is set to Halo 3, and type in your Xbox-Live Gamer tag. Then click "Search".

    3. You should then being on your Gamer Tag profile. Click "Hi-Res screenshots".

    [​IMG]

    4. Find the Screenshot you wish to embed, and click on it. Also, make sure pop-ups are allowed from Bungie.net.

    [​IMG]

    5. A large version of the screenshot should come up in a separate window. Again, click the screenshot.

    6. This should come up, asking you what program to open the screenshot with, or to save it to disk. For simplicities sake, just check off "Save to Disk" and the click "OK".

    7. Depending what your preferences are, the picture could be saved to a number of places, if you are using Firefox, then this should come up. Click "Open" on the top one, which is more than likely the screenshot you are looking for.

    [​IMG]

    8. An image viewing program displaying the screenshot should come up. Click the save option, in this case a floppy disk icon.

    [​IMG]

    9.Save your image as a JPEG file, under a folder and name you can find later. Type the name in and click "Save".

    10. Congrats, now you have your screenshot on your computer. Now onto:


    Part 3: Signing up for a Photobucket account, and uploading your screenshot to the internet.

    1. Start by opening your internet browser, and going to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket. Why Photobucket? Cause I find that Imageshack is a pain and people seem to get nothing but thumbnail pictures from it, if they do try to embed their screenshots. Once there, click "Join Now" cause IT'S FREE!

    [​IMG]

    2. Type in a username, and a password that you can remember. Then click "Next Step".

    3. Now fill the form out, when you are done, click "I accept. Sign me up!"
    Note that none of that information is true to me. That is not my name, or birthdate, or anything.

    4. Follow instructions from there.

    5.Go to Login on Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket, type in your username and password, and then click "Login".

    6. You should now be in your album. Find the section in the middle of the screen like the one below, and click "Choose Files", and make sure the size is set to 640x480.

    [​IMG]

    7. An "Open File" window comes up. Now find your screenshot where you saved it, click on it, and then click "Open". Note that you can select more than one image before click "Open" by clicking your first image, and then (while holding down the SHIFT key) click on the other images you wish to add.

    [​IMG]

    8. Give it time to save the screenshot on the internet. Click "Cancel" to stop uploading.

    [​IMG]

    9. When it is done, this screen will come up. Give it a title and a description, or just skip that, and click "save and continue".

    [​IMG]

    10. And now your screenshot is on the internet, ready to be embedded.


    Part 4: Embed your image in your post.

    1. Go to your "my albums" on your photobucket page, which is located in the top navigation bar. Then, scroll down the page until you find your screenshot.

    2. Click on the text in the space next to "IMG Code". This will automatically copy that link to your clipboard.

    [​IMG]

    3. Go to post your Map Thread, and right click/Paste the IMG code (an image code is the direct link url of an image, in between [./img], but without the ".")[/SIZE]

    [SIZE=3][IMG]http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o46/onlykaproductions/embed6.jpg

    4. Yay!

    Forge quality aside, this map looks like amped/lockdown with very little of its own unique character. If your a fan of amped and lockdown focus more on the techniques the maps used and figure out how to apply them in a map more your own.

    i wanted to give the feel of an mlg map like amp and lockdown, but i added rockets, and a tunnel, to try to give it a different feeling at the same time.

    Not enough cover, but its a good start look at some of the other maps and you will get a better feel on what a good MLG map looks like.

    It doesn't look too bad, but if you're using an oln canvas then you definately could add some more items and senery. It's not a bad map, but if you made a v2 with some more aesthetics and a better focus on the gameplay then this could definately be a worthy download.

    EDIT: Oh and needs moar interlockz!
