COFFIN Created by WARH0LIC Map Description An "arena" style map featuring 16 cubicles to spawn from. Each box is guarded by a two way shield allowing coverage from oncoming fire. An overshield is placed bottom center making its user invincible for a number of seconds until the shields completely regenerate. So wether you're hiding in a cubicle or rushing in for the kill, just pray you spawn with the right weapon. For best intended experience, download custom gametype Gladiators.

Thanks to all friends for helping me test this map before its release.
Oh... This map is like Gladiator from Halo 3 isn't it? Because it does have quite the resemblance and looks pretty cool. It makes me want to play it remembering how much fun I had on Gladiator in Halo 3
Yes, I played Gladiator a lot during my Halo 3 days and needed to re-create that experience. This plays extremely similar to "Gladiator" from Halo 3. If anyone still remembers the custom game-type options from Halo 3 for this please post them!
About the aesthetics, I think this map looks pretty darn good, although, towards the top of the map (above the uppermost cubicles) looks a bit rushed and not very clean. I missed "Gladiator" and this looks really fun. Great job.
Amazing job, man. I absolutely love the centerpiece. Missed 'Gladiator', just like everybody else, and I think this map deserves just as much applause.
Thanks for the compliments Exiled, I always thought 'Gladiators' had great gameplay. Nothing's going to change about that! (I did however just change the name of my map from "CRADLE" to "COFFIN" - any thoughts on that?)
Well, with the name change, it seems like you just went through life pretty darn quickly... Haha (Cradle: an infant, to Coffin: Dead.) And I also agree with Josh.
I miss Gladiator, I miss Conquest, I miss everything people made in Halo 3. Thanks for the nostalgia. Great remake of a great game type.
Yes, what ever happened to conquest?! Didn't Halo 3 have its own play list for that at one point? Its totally doable in reach...if there are enough people interested, I might even start making maps for that
Downloaded this map and played it with a couple of friends, and we all loved it. The gameplay was fun, and the aesthetics look really good. Well done on this excellent map.
Hey thanks Aeronnz, thats the coolest thing to hear for a forger. Usually people comment on how a map looks. Glad you actually tested it, that's where the fun is
Man, your amazing. I used to play this all the time with my buds back in Halo 3. The map looks good in all but why is there an overshield? I think it kinda ruins the feel and the person who grabs it wins the game :/ Everything looks great, but the height of the map is too small and you didn't add any room for the swords under the top rooms for people to jump and grab. Anyway, the aesthetics look fantastic and I am looking forward to play this sometime.
Thanks Soda, sounds like I must have played a slightly different version back in Halo 3. Were there swords in the bottom bases to pick up? You're right though, the overshield was never in the original. I just thought it would minimize camping, given that it guarantees a kill (unless your a total noob. I find myself rushing for it when I get dealt a shitty hand. I start running towards middle & someone usually has rockets to put me down... [br][/br]Edited by merge: Just uploaded some gameplay footage for 'COFFIN'. I don't have any special software to convert files into .mov (since I have a mac)....so sorry, no sountrack, or helpful editing to get through the boring bits. Hope you can still enjoy!
