___________ M E R I D A ___________ "Little is known of the island where living energies manifest and the dead mysteriously vanish." Download Meridia --------------- REAL QUICK: --------------- I'm sorry if I don't make the map information fun and exciting, I'm not exactly a writer. Feel free to just jump through and look at the pictures, I'm guilty of that myself, lol. Either way, thanks for reading/downloading. It HAS been tested. Mostly. As with any map, a new pair of eyes may find something I missed, all comments appreciated and encouraged. Now excuse me while I check for typo's even though I'll inevitably miss some. With that, on to the boring stuff! ------------------- INFORMATION: ------------------- >Supports all gametypes, Including Invasion and Race. >2-12 players. (More players CAN play, they just won't spawn in nice strategic starting positions, if that's unimportant to you, 16 total players will work.) >Symetrical map. >Map similar to Sancuary with many twists. >Tunnel system beneath map. ------------------ DESCRIPTION: ------------------ OVERVIEW: top down coast Spoiler -Basic- Spoiler Kool Island like Sancuary with fun water tunnels under it. -Tech- Spoiler Meridia is a small island located near the 'Coastal' region of Forge World. Its' setup is similar to Sanctuary: two opposing bases, middle sword area, mid-sized lookout points on each side, 2 shotguns, 2 snipers. Other than that though, it's very different. BASES: One's Blue, One's Red. -Basic- Spoiler The bases kind of have a kool mix of Sanctuary, Guardian, and Lockout. -Tech- Spoiler Each base has a middle 3-level building with a platform on each side. There's at least 8 different ways to get to each base. close by is the sniper, needler, dmr, and needle rifle spawns. Also, the 3-level building has an air lift and jump to the middle similar to Guardian. SIDES: -Basic- Spoiler Fun middle structure between two catwalks. -Tech- Spoiler Each side has a small middle structure between two catwalks. Near these are 2 plasma grenade, 2 frag grenade, shotgun, and plasma pistol spawns. ROCKS: Spoiler -Basic- Spoiler More fun pathways across the map. -Tech- Spoiler There's plenty of rocks all around the map to give a good natural feel, and better, to give players more ways to jump around it. Located amongst and around these are dmr and plasma repeater spawns. CENTER: Main View Inside Spoiler Under Spoiler http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg842/scaled.php?server=842&filename=reach20634917full.jpg&res=medium -Basic- Spoiler Fun middle sword area like Sancuary. -Tech- Spoiler The central structure is the sword spawn. Similar to Sanctuary but if it was divided in half and then with a water tunnel entrance beneath it. WATER TUNNELS: Well Entrance Spoiler Side Drain Entrance Spoiler -Basic- Spoiler Fun water tunnels under map. -Tech- Spoiler The funnest feature of the map. Located beneath the map are simple water tunnels to quickly get from one end of the map, whether that's safely or not is up to you. There's on tunnel completely along the middle of the map and then one spin-off section on each side to each base. There's five entrances into the tunnels: center, each side, near each base. -------------- WEAPONS: -------------- >Weapon Map Spoiler >Weapon List Spoiler 6 DMRs 4 Health Packs 4 Frag Grenades 4 Plasma Grenades 2 Snipers 2 Magnums 2 Assault Rifles 2 Needlers 2 Needle Rifles 2 Plasma Pistols 2 Shotguns Sword -------- RACE: -------- Spoiler This was a fun little bonus I added. Very simple yet fun map with some literal twists and turns, Probably good for Rocket Race. This was actually my first race map and I have a lot of pride in what I was able to accomplish with the very little resourses I had. Theres a few jumps and land mines of course. Enjoy. ------------- INVASION: ------------- Spoiler This was the most difficult task of the map, and was also my first time even trying to make Invasion. I'm genuinely surprised it turned out as good as it did. PHASE ONE: >Attackers The Elites start off on a ship located not too far from the island. The ship is a covenant air craft carrier with, you guessed it, Banshees. They are going to try to take control of the Spartan's red base. >Defenders The Spartans are going to try to hold the red base. They are equiped with a Rocket Warthog, 2 no-extra-clip rockets, a machine gun, and access to all the weapons already on the map. They are going to try to stop the Elites from taking their red base.Intense invading air and land battle begins. Assuming Elites win: PHASE TWO: Spoiler >Attackers The Elites Now own the red base and are going to fight for control over two tunnel entrances: the center and the side drain entrances. >Defenders The Spartans Still own their blue base and are going to try to stop the Elites from gaining the territories at the drain and center. Intense territory battle begins. Assuming Elites win: PHASE THREE: Spoiler Spoiler >Attackers The Elites now want to steal the core from inside the water tunnels and take it to the ship for their personal use. >Defenders The Spartans must stop the Elites from taking the core. Assuming Elites win: Humanity is lost. --------------- IN THE END... --------------- Well that's all I got. I hope everyone enjoys my map. As always, my thanks goes to all of you at ForgeHub for giving me an awesome place to upload my map, to search for other maps, and to be a part of this awesome community. Peace, Ernest B. GTA_Tom_V, GtaTomV Now the REAL spoiler: Spoiler ME, Hahaha!
Dude this is an amazing map. I dont know why it has no replies cause quite literally it is awesome. I love the water tunnels and the invasion looks awesome. Definite DL!
Looks great! Unique idea to make your own island, and I <love> how you incorporated some of the more unconventional gametypes as a bonus.
This is a very cool map, but gameplay-wise I think it would be out of order becuase of the mass amount of banshees. Plus there really isnt a single fighting area. I would post this is Casual rather than in Competitive.
