Greetings! Welcome to the the thread for my Big Team Battle map, Calypso. Description While this island may appear to be deserted, the scars left by war show that this place is anything but vacant. 12-16 players Calypso is a BTB map located on the Island for Team Slayer or Objective matches with 12-16 players. The map's layout is similar to Paradiso as there are two bases and a neutral structure. Calypso features a variety of vehicles such as Warthogs, Ghosts, and Falcons. However, I also included several power weapons to counter the vehicles and prevent the one-sided fights that occur on Paradiso and Hemmorhage where one team is incapable of eliminating a vehicular onslaught because of the lack of anti-armor weapons. Calypso's main purpose is to give players the explosive, frenzied action that was present in the BTB maps of previous Halo titles, such as Sandtrap from Halo 3, while also providing balanced and fair gameplay without making matches boring and repetitive. I want to make this map as refined and fun as possible, so if you have any thoughts or suggestions that could make this map better, please post them! Thanks!

Why has this had no replies in almost a year?! This is a pretty decent looking map, one of the best I have seen to use the classic island layout. The larger neutral structure looks great, I love the forerunner look to it. I think the Falcons should work great and stop the OP of the Banshee. Pretty much a heavy, better version of Paradiso. Down. Load.
Having just realeased a BTB map on this island, I can say this, you have captured the essence of the Forunner structures with that SWEET looking tower! I commend you sir! Using the other buildings and adding to them to make them different is a nice touch. I will DL this one and add it to my Customs Playlist for sure. Once again, Nice Job! Add me if you want to get some games in on this one, K?
