    Artichoktual V2

    This map takes place in the crypt of sandbox. its a cave, or mine or whatever you want to call it. Every piece in this map is ghost merged mostly because i needed to ghost merge to get the cave look and the rough terrain look. i made sure this map is extremely smooth so that it looks extremely bumpy but is not at all. I also made sure to combine nice asthetics and nice gameplay. This map can be played with regular slayer or OVERBOARD!
    and the room ive added now in i guess you could say the v2 has basically maybe almost doubled its size!!

    above is what the map looked like before. the bridge literally led to nothing. below is the room i added by taking out that wall
    [​IMG]
    and heres a closer look at the new room
    [​IMG]
    it also has a cave leading to the back caves. its complicated i know.
    [​IMG]
    and here is the connection of the new cave and the old back caves

    This map is really fun and i thank Master Debayter for helping with the spawns and giving me the idea to make it an OVERBOARD! map.

    P.S. ive tested alot more and i suggest not using this gamtype unless you actually like overboard. i would just play slayer, its alot better gamplay.

    Also this map has been included in the 50th episode of the very popular machinima Halo 3 Forges.

    Why the hell is it called Artichoktual?! lol
    But otherwise, wow! This really looks like a nice cave map! I love all the small crooks and crannies to hide in and stuff... I'll download and have a go through it.

    Edit: Just went through it and it was really really confusing... I wasn't sure how many rooms there were because of all the detail... so maybe there's too much detail to the point of distraction...?

    Overall: 3.5/5
    Nice effort

    WOW! This looks amazingly awesome! I'm downloading this now. I love cave maps like this, this one is the biggest one I've seen though. I particularly like where the tubes come out of the wall, those are awesome. Really Nice Job, I hope to see more great maps from you. - 10/10

    This looks very much like a cave....So, nice job accomplishing your goal. Anyway, even though this is kind of a joke, it still turned out very nicely. It looks to play great for Overboard. ;D

    Awesome! It looks huge. Does it support normal Slayer?

    P.S. - Looks like ghost merging of epic proportions

    the first picture is awesome and all, but to be honest, im getting very sick of these styles of maps. Aim for something new, not just redoing the last hip thing to break the scene.

    actually. to be completely honest, i hadent seen any maps except the hollows before i map this. and it isnt new, this map has been out for awhile now so its not like im following everyone else. and yes these maps are beign used alot now, but if i recall most if not all of the other maps are infection. nuff said.

    Perosnally, I love these type maps. They really give the feel of not being in Sandbox, but instead another map. Fantastic job Cowboypickle.
