Onto the map.
My inspiration for this map came from a freeware Finnish game called "LieroX" (Yes, I am from Finland). In the game there was a map that was simply an enclosed space with two levels and very little space. In tribute to this (being one of my favorite maps in that game), I thought that the same idea could work well in halo. I first imagined it as a space squared by double boxes, and started forging with that. I noticed that I could also implement the two levels into the map by building a base from interlocked double boxes and then walling the top of the boxes to create a two level construction. I started making wild shapes with interlocking too and came up with the idea of the fence boxes posing a role for team spawning at the ends of the map. Once I had finished doing the top square and added the third-level spawning boxes, I really felt like doing a decorative roof for the whole place, making it impossible to get out of the structure. It gets a little claustrophobic at times but the relief for that are the fence boxes edging out of the map. After a couple 1v1 playtests with my friend I found the straight sightline of the bases too intimidating, and decided to cover this by using shield doors. Originally I had an MLG type weapon-layout with ARs, but then I reworked the weapons and now it's much more comfortable.

I guess you'll want to know more about the maps tools of destruction so here's a list of all the weapons:

The map supports all game types except CTF. I really wanted to make CTF work but the game thought the box was too small for Flag madness, and thus didn't want to spawn the flag inside it. Anyways, I would suggest that you use magnum starts when playing, because ARs would diminish the purpose of those lushy plasma spitting devices they call plasma rifles.

And of course some screenshots to satisfy your over anticipated minds thirst for blood and madness:

P.S. I'm currently remaking this map with the moneyglitch and advanced interlocking, so you'll have to go around in this one before that.

Please comment about what you think, this is the first of my maps that I've ever released for constructive public criticism. Thanks in advance for giving your opinion, I really appreceate it ;D

 

About the camping, I forgot to mention that playing objective type games forces you to go out of the boxes so that's the only reason. And besides, only noobs are dumb enough to run into the box with you waiting with the mauler ;D
