K i l l H i l l Created by Winterburner Supported Gametypes: -HillMassacre (Team version of the game) -KillHill FFA (FFA version of the game) *NOT YET ABLE TO DL* Map Description This is simply just a remake of my first and only map, KillHill, this time taking place in the Crypt of Sandbox. The map may not be completely original, but it's simply a mix of my favourite games and maps in Halo 2, ao quite a nostalgic map to me. Hopefully this will also fix some people's dislike against KotH games, since even I have not always liked 'em. Anyhow, into the actual map and game. The map is very simple, circular arena style dome with a hill in the middle. On the sides there are rooms where are either respawn/starting points or weapons and power-ups. Between the side high ground and the middle hill is an abyss, or mosh pit, as I call it, filled with cover and small (and a couple of big) weapons, grenades and a few equipment. On the side benches are also some weapons to pick up when spawned. The map may seem to contain too much power weapons, but this is also one thing coming from the nostalgic Halo 2 games, like Mosh Pit on founddation with random starting weapons. I can guess many people say this reminds of Foundation and/or Desolation. Weapons on map: -2x Battle Rifle -2x Rocket Launcher -2x SMG -2x Spiker -2x Plasma Pistol -2x Plasma Rifle -2x Mauler -1x Needler -1x Shotgun -1x Brute Shot Equipment: -4x Frag Grenade -4x Plasma Grenade -2x Spike Grenade -2x Firebomb Grenade -1x Power Drainer -1x Regenerator -1x Active Camo -1x Overshields Quite a lot, but, yeah, nostalgia... Overview of the map A closer view of the hill Another view The Active Camo spawn (Overshield spawn is similar but red) Starting area, like the rest of the rooms, are blocked at the end. A closer view of the mosh pit. *If there is something you'd like me to fix, please, be honest and tell your opinions, I'll try to fix it then.* **I'm currently working on a new version of this map. It'll probably be a bit bigger and have new areas.** Download KillHill Download Hill Massacre (TEAM GAME)
That looks pretty sweet actually, it gave me an idea of what to make when I get Sandbox... Holy crap, you're from Finland, my favorite country.
This looks like it would be fun. I think it should be in the minigames forum becuz seems more fun then competive. You could actually try to make this conquest also. I think it follows the rules. I won't dl becuz i dont have enough space.
Heheheh, nice to read first comment and right away the guy says OMG FINLAND! But yeah, I've made this map in Foundry also, so you can go DL it now b4 you get the Mythics, here: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/competitive-maps/15535-killhill.html but thanks! EDIT: Holy crap, posts are coming fast! I coudn't except it!!
I thought that at the middle part where theres gaps there would be a ramp which when you fall in slides you into a killball, hence the name kill hill ;p From the pictures it looks like a pretty good map still...
Looks pretty cool. I like the crypt thing. Hard to build down there. Overall doesn't need improement 5/5
Wow, this looks amazing, ecspecially because its designed for king of the hill> Amazing aesthetics, and form the scree shots it looks like the gameplay is well above par, howver, the only thing I would fix is making the hill go all the way down below. And maybe even fill in t he entire circular area.
(Jump to the bold part to skip all of the suggestions for the map) From the pics, I'm pretty sure that you can just grenade bounce twice out of the map. (correct me if I'm wrong) But if I'm right, maybe you should add a ceiling or higher walls just to be safe. Nothing annoys me more then people breaking out of maps mid game! Also is that the only hill spawn? Because if the hill spawn in the middle is the only one, then i suggest you should make some more. 3+ Hill spawns maybe? Just to make people jumping around places a little more? I love the circle in the middle. Very, very nice interlocking. The circle just makes the map just up from a 4/5 to a 5/5! Very, very well done. Personally, i think this map should be featured. This is the best sandbox map I've ever seen! Great map over all! 5/5, (honestly i would download its just that my xbox broke two days ago, sry!) Keep up the good work!
I would have done it, but, because there are litle alcoves in the hill down there, people would camp there and it'd not be so nice, I thought of it but I ended up with this solution.
Nice! One of the better crypt maps I've seen so far. I like how it looks like Warlock from Halo 2 a bit. It has the same symmetry so it's not entirely new. Although I can't dl cause I don't have Mythic (sad face insert here), I will put it on my fileshare .
When I saw this I though "shotgun spawns" so it looks very fun for close range. Try setting it up for oddball too.
This map is what I like to call SYE (Simple Yet Effective). The idea is fairly simple and easy to imagine, but effective gameplay wise. The only issue I can think of for this map is that there isn't much to it. This could actually be called an advantage or a disadvantage to this map, as being as simple as it is, it offers little variability, which can be good or bad depending on the player count. I would restrict the player count for this to 4 at the most, but otherwise this looks fun and easy to play.
looks pretty similar to the map i made in the skybox, i'll post it some time and you should compare it. But yeah pretty awesome, you can get out of the map with the Power drainer and a frag though.
this looked really good i did enjoy playing the previous vershion but this one looks 100 times better havent got time to play it yet so im reseving this post for my comment
Thanks for comments, folks! I'll try to improve it somehow so people can't get out of it. I tried it while making the map, I added large stone columns there on the walls so people couldn't jump over. I thought it's high enough to prevent people from jumping out, but it seems not to be. I'll fix it sometime.
Go Finland! K to the map great for small games though maybe some cover for the upper area because I always found myself laying low under to survive. Just a thought. Small FFA games only team doesn't work well here IMO. 4.5/5
This looks pretty fun, i would love to dominate in Tank Hill or something crazy like that, but i think that there should be no starting grenades to help with some of the spamming.
