Axis This map is a very close quarters battle phenomenon, drawing you towards your opponents at every turn. Suitable for 1 on 1, up-to-5-player FFA, team doubles, and 3 on 3 slayer game types.

Compromising three-level gameplay and a variety of semi-power weapons and powerups, this map is guaranteed to promote competition and all around fun. The basement level has a series of barriers in it, giving you extra protection while posing a turvy problem while trying to snatch up the flamethrower. Near there are two spike grenades and a grav lift. The next level is the main level of the map. Traveling around the square-ish path will direct you towards the majority of the weapons on the map, including a mauler, a battle rifle, an assault rifle, a sentinel beam, a needler, a brute shot, and a Covenant carbine. There are also two plasma grenades, a power drain, and a bubble shield there as well. This may seem like a lot, but it seems to balance out amongst the different bends and turns of the main level. For the unfortunate, there is an open-end-up fence cage that has many fusion coils littered inside. There is a shield door that presents opportunity, but leads to disaster. Finally, the highest floor is made up of two areas: the sniper hall and the bridge. You can gain access to the sniper hall by jumping onto the levitating fence walls that lead to a small opening of the hall. Inside the hall is a beam rifle, a regenerator, and a firebomb grenade. From here you can turn back the way you came or jump out of an opening and possibly pounce on your prey. The bridge can be accessed by these fence walls or the walls mirroring them. This bridge connects both sides of the map for faster access, and the chance to pick up the only true power weapon: the Spartan laser. Here's an overview of all the weapons and powerups on the map in case you forgot: 1- Assault Rifle 3- Plasma Grenades 1- Battle Rifle 3- Frag Grenades 1- Covenant Carbine 3- Spike Grenades 1- Mauler 1- Firebomb Grenade 1- Brute Shot 1- Grav Lift 1- Needler 1- Power Drain 1- Sentinel Beam 1- Regenerator 1- Flamethrower 1- Bubble Shield 1- Beam Rifle 1- Spartan Laser So there you have it. Please comment it with questions, praise and criticisms, download it, and tell your friends about it!
Always glad to see the use of interlocking. But just by looking at the weapon list it seems a little overdone. Perhaps you should consider editing out a few.
I really didn't consider there being 5 power weapons on the map, actually. Three - beam rifle, flamethrower, brute shot. I've tested and the needler and Spartan laser are quite hard to use but are extremely effective if you can get a hang of it. Those are also balanced out by the bubble shield and the regenerator, giving you extra protection beyond what's actually in the map. I may consider lessening the respawn times on those, though. Thanks for the comments! I hope you enjoy and keep downloading!
A personally don't enjoy using a Spartan Laser in close-quarter maps. I find no good use for it because it was intended for destroying vehicles and vehicles are only good in an open area. And I totally agree with the others above me, way to many power weapons for such a small area. other than that the map looks cool. =]
Picture 8: If you turn a double box on its side it is about one fence wall thickness shorter than one on its top/bottom. You could interlock that fence wall and others near perfectly with double boxes. It would look better. That said, Im downloading to see more.
I am going to edit a few things tomorrow afternoon, so if you want to see this with some changes, you've got it tomorrow.
Those pics dont really show-off the layout of the map. I cant really get a good feel for what this map is about. Also, wuz up with the Beam Rifle, Regenerator, and firebomb all in one spot? A bit over-powering dont you think?
As I said, changes are being made this afternoon. My friend was helping me with this and he sent me the list of weapons and such, and I just copied and pasted and didn't realize what the hell he all put on there. You're right, it is overbearing. And screen shots are really difficult to take in a map like this since it is much smaller. If anyone has some tips as to taking screens, PM me with them. I'd like some help on that!
