Conversion is a map that I designed along with my best friend XxxArmenianxxX, we wanted to make a sword base map that was completely symmetrical so it can be played on MLG and then we decided to mix it up a bit to make it a map of our own. Conversion got its name from converting sword base to a MLG map. I took ideas from Halo 3 guardian which I loved dearly and added in some jumps to this map to make it even more accessible to move around the map freely. I call it smart, Smooth movement across random.... I am just joking. But seriously I wanted a map that you can move around more and not be subject to just walking on bridges and ramps, if you can surprise someone then you can win.
Also I designed the map to support King of the hill, CTF, neutral bomb, Assault, FFA and Team slayer and this map can support BTB 8 vs 8 on each game type also thanks to spawn sequence additions to initial spawning codes.




The map has 4 bridges connecting both bases, as it may appear to be a massive map it holds well to quick matches.
There are 3 main floors on each side of the map.
The bottom floor:



This floor is the floor where teams start out on for slayer game types and also the bomb planting zone location.



Also in the image above is a lift that takes you directly to the 3rd floor and a health pack on the side of the lift near bottom bridge; which only features 2 health packs in the same location on the red side as well.



The second floor is where you start out on bomb game types facing the other team and this map is set up for neutral bomb or assault. Also directly located on the left is a quick jump up to the 3rd floor you can access only by crouch jumping 2x and you can peek through the glass to see if someone took lift up to 3rd floor as well so you may have a chance at surprising your enemy.



As seen in the image above there is the jump up location and just jump to the glass ledge to continue your adventure.



This is the rest of the second floor view located behind the ramp on both sides is a lift located at the very bottom of the map that takes you up to the 2nd floor location. On the left in this picture is a bridge that takes you to custom power up and a plasma pistol. Also against the wall to the left is a jet pack which has an identical location on the other side of the middle bridge. Take ramp up to third floor.



Third floor is where CTF game types are played and where the bomb resides in neutral bomb which is located on middle bridge. As all floors have limited cover many of DMR battles can occur cross map Although beware of snipers and grenade launchers.



As you continue to go through the 3rd floor on either side you will find an Attic where the flag or best sniping location will be found.



Here is the approx size of Attic where you find the flag on CTF game types. You may continue to look or stand on the doorway but should you fall off you will take shield damage. Behind the spartan in this picture you have a see through glass where you can find your team mates in danger or spot your opposing side coming up the ramp from 2nd floor, lift or top bridge.



This is where you will find bottom lift on the left and to the right of the picture that will take you to either 2nd floor of each base. Also planted on this bridge is where I have evade located subject to change as is every weapon and power up. This bridge offers another route to either 1st floor of each base and a landing zone for CTF if you wish to take the flag straight off from Attic.

As you traverse around the map you will find that this map was well thought out for MLG, and find that this map is easy to learn the lay out very fast and game types can be played out in a fast manner.

Also you will note that even with your team losing power weapons and maybe the lead there are many vantage points that allow you to flank or "juke" your enemy.

When I created this map I wanted you to be able to move freely by jumping in this map to meet up with team mates or overcome impossible odds.

Although this map does come with a disclaimer that if you don't have situational awareness then I can't help you. I do not want to forget also that the Spartan located on top of lift cannot go much higher without killing himself as there is a soft kill above him and followed by a hard kill zone on top of the map. There is no way out of this map which is not meant to be played on.
As I said before this map may appear big but it really is no bigger then Zealot or Countdown. In fact its nearly half of sword base which inspired me to make this type of map.
That said this map is 100% symmetrical no side has an advantage of the other. All power weapons and power up locations are in the middle on each level of each bridge directly in the middle so you have to fight to obtain them. Generally speaking for each game type I have set for the map has 1 sniper, 1 rocket, 1-2 grenade launchers.
On slayer and King of the hill I believe have Custom power up.
All game types have 1 evade and 2 jet-packs. The jet-packs are actually useful on this map, however this map was designed for bumper jumper.

I am ready to take on heat from anyone about this map. I am very open minded and I am attempting to make the most enjoyable experience for MLG players. I want this to be the best map period as I felt that sword base could have been the best map ever made but bungie failed to deliver. Thank you for reading and considering my map for MLG.

I took this map down, because I have no room in my file share and this map had no love for it. If you want a copy of it send me a message and I'll host a game. I got flamed for this map on MLG.com

So I killed it.
