Rock Solid Created By Ell3ment and GunnerGrunt Recommended Players: 8-16 Gametypes: Team Slayer, KoTH, CTF, Juggernaut Download Rock Solid HERE - Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details Rock Solid is a BTB oriented map based on the main level of sandbox. We wanted to bring less vehicle oriented combat back into mainstream BTB game and I like to think we have successfully given that to the community here in this map. Considering what gametypes Rock Solid is limited to(Due to forging errors) it still has a lot to offer for the games it does support with lots of intense gameplay rematch after rematch. A main thing to note is the success of incorporating a ghost as the only power vehicle for this big team battle map.

This map is insanely fun, I really enjoyed testing it. I could play it for hours without tiring of it (and I have). All the structures function very well, with nice altitude changes and most if not all of the possible routes of attack have equal incentive for a player to travel across. This map is a definite A+, definitely a world apart from the default sandbox's playability. Definitely submit this to ATLAS if at all possible, as I'm sure it could be integrated into any BTB playlist. P.S - Very nice post, looks ubbberrr pr00. Especially the heatmap. How'd you do that btw?
How come I never saw this. It must have been in testing for a while, and yet I never got a chance to see it? So many of my friends tested it, but I didn't hear a thing. It's like you guys wanted to keep it a secret from me until the big unveiling. :\? But in all seriousness, the map look beautiful. I agree that too many BTB maps rely too heavily on vehicular combat, and the fact that this map was able to pull off good gameplay (or so I've heard) with the ghost being to most powerful vehicles (mongooses?) is astounding. I cannot wait to play it with you Gunner Grunt (or Element I suppose). I don't remember any of those invites. ;'(
The forging on this map is rock solid (excuse the pun). I love BTB gameplay. The map looks amazingly well done, with thought-out weapon placement. I also like it when OP takes the time to organize the post and make reading through it much easier. I like the creativeness of your structures. Can't wait to play it in a game of customs with my friends. Submit to Atlas for Big Team Slayer plox. This map deserves to be in matchmaking.
Very good map I prefere the team slayer games on this map when we tested this and all the paths you put into the design of the map work well. I like everything on the map and I only remember disliking the regens and thats just my personal preference. Great map Element I'll see you online when my internet stops sucking so much haha. ;]
Haha yes, Sotha, we tested it with everyone but you. Actually, I think I invited you several times throughout testing! But hey, hopefully we can get a game in on this soon. Regen. Single. We may have left a regen, but I hope you noticed that we removed a certain weapon that you disliked! (and not because you disliked it ^.^) Would you like to know... I'm glad you got first post, metal! You were definitely our most dedicated tester.
Well thumbs up for presentation, you really went the extra mile with it all. As for the map, it looks like you applied yourselves to the same standard. Very clean forging and some brillantly constructed and unique buildings combined with a superb layout. I don't think I really need to test it out myself as it seems like you've had the entire population of FH do that, I struggle to arrange a 4v4.. However I will DL and keep it on my hd for any BTB customs I have in the future. Great work guys, you deserve a cocktail and day off in the sun for this one.
I could not wait for this to be released. I think I played 40 games on this when you where testing it. I loved it. Cant say I would love playing 40 games on another map. But over all great map. But one thing I dont know if you fixed it but I swear that I fell through an open area that when in forge had a block their. Except for that 10/10. GREAT JOB. Invite me next time you test one of your map.
The map looks freaking amazing and the layout seems very good. This seems that it would provide tons of fun with big parties. The forging looks great and unlike other BTB maps, is not vehicle based. No wonder if this ever gets featured, or happens to appear to me in Matchmaking. However i got one question.... Where does the hole in top middle lead? or is it blocked? Anyways super mega uber sexy awsome map. 10/10
Well, this is a map i've been looking for. A BTB-style map built on the middle level of Sandbox. I thought of making one myself but I can never make one better than this. Indeed, this should be featured in Matchmaking.
Oh nice I just noticed you removed the Laser man that was evil lol it killed almost everyone of my sprees that weapon combined with the regen was evil lol. What made you guys decide to scrap it? just over powered or something else?
Nice map, i dl'ed it, plays nice with king of the hill, but the whole recon approved thing comes off as kind of nooby
It's great how the post actually gave me a good concept of the map (plus, I downloaded this map from Gunner's File Share a few days ago =P). The video is insane, I like how you gave more than a third-person overview of a full game and threw in a little testers montage XD. I'm definitely going to get a game on this as soon as possible. EDIT: Omg, I just noticed the heatmap. That's badass.
In a way, yes. First, we eliminated one of the ghosts and placed the remaining one on The Claw. Then a laser was pointless because we already had so many anit-ghost weapons on the map. But I think your obscene screaming may have influenced our decision just a little..... Not nooby, classy. No map post is complete without a pointless screenshot of recon! =P That just carried over into one of our games from forge. We fix'd it after that testing session. I'm surprises you managed to fall there in a game lol The "hole" you are referring to is inaccessible. You only saw it in the video because i did an overview of the middle portion of the map. Nothing to worry 'bout.
I love the angles of fire on this map. for instance, the window in 1:12 is perfectly aligned even though it is sideways. I can't tell you what part is my favorite because they all are. the geomerging and interlocking are flawless like always and the gameplay is intense. DL and 1000/1000
I checked the video of this map on youtube from the post, and there are some nice gameplay films on there, including my ricochet kill. This is a wonderful BTB map, and it worked well for Team Snipers and One Flag. My favorite part of the map would have to the structure in the middle because most of the encounters take place there, and because it's the only place where the shotgun really has any use. P.S. That's a LONG list of testers.
Yay you finally posted it. This is by a wide margin my favorite sandbox level map. It plays very smoothly and has some awesome routes and corridors to break up the usual openness of sandbox level maps. I'm glad you took my suggestions, I think it really helped the flow of the game. I look forward to your futures works guys Edit: How the heck did you do the heatmap? That's awesome!
Can you still rape this map with a brute shot? (get on top of everything) I was in Forge a while back on this map . . .
