    When life hands you Halo 3 you make a map
    When you make a map you make a V2!

    Note: This map is the V2 of the map that I created; Mt. Box-Ruption. This map extended some play testing and criticing from people that i would like to thank.

    Special Thanks to:

    KSI Jewman420
    The Stabbing Hobo
    Oxbo Jake

    Also everybody who downloaded or commented on my map. Thanks guys for the help.

    Anways time for the new Story. Always the best part lolz. =)

    Story: You and your team of researchers are looking to study the smallest volcano known as Mt. Ruption, as translated from the nearby Natives. Unfortunatly the populous of Mt. Ruption are vicious, greedy, and cannibalistic creatures who are consumed by their ideals of their Volcano God. While making your trek up to the Volcano you stumble across the border, the Natives have at least created outposts which were under the control of other nations at the time. There is nobody at these outposts. And the only thing you can do is hold out here until the Native Population stops coming.

    So... I created this V2 among the flaws that I had to fix from my earlier creation. Yes i may have been quick about this V2, but I wanted people to enjoy my maps with great satisfaction. This new V2 features the Native homes, as said in the story, and a better layout of the volcano. Instead of a square box that shoots out crates at a slow rate, i made a smaller coned volcano that shoots out crates at an even faster rate. This creates more tremors and even more trouble for the researchers, IE the defenders. Now if your not aware, there is LAG created by the volcano. This LAG is on purpose to create a Tremor like feel to the game. These Tremor LAG moments only occur every so often that make it harder to shoot the zombies and give a fair garuntee for both sides. Nobody wants to have a boring game of shoot the helpless zombie do they. And to touch base on the new Volcano as well, it has a rusty and poorly made feel to it. This is so it appears rough, bumpy and mishapen as most Volcanoes do. It also makes the Volcano appear more realistic, even though it's pretty small. And so don't think that i kept it poorly interlocked becuase I was lazy, it was for the map. So hope you enjoy the V2.

    Now onto the Pictures:

    Weapons List:

    Humans:
    3 Assault Rifles
    3 Battle Rifles
    2 Shotguns
    2 SMGs
    2 Magnums
    1 Rocket Launcher
    1 Sparten Laser

    Aliens:
    3 Covenant Carbines
    3 Plasma Rifles
    2 Maulers
    2 Spikers
    1 Fuel Rod Gun
    1 Setinel Beam

    Note: These weapons may slide off the carrier, which helps even the fight between the zombies and the defenders, but that only means to get your weapons, BEFORE you fight to defend the base.

    Q@A:

    1) Why did you post such a quick V2, I think that you need to be more pacient with your maps?
    A: I posted quickly because i beleive that a player should enjoy their maps as quickly as possible, besides i take care of my maps, edit them as I need and take some time thinking about them it took about 3-5 hours just to think about the new V2 then 2 hours to make it!

    2) This map looks boring, what with the only cool thing being the poorly made Volcano. You should fix it up.
    A: Well as i said in the thread earlier, the volcano is supposed to look poorly made, and secondly this isn't just a defend the base map game, it has intrest put into it with the Tremor Lag and of course the spewing boxes landing all over the place. Remember Hectic makes fun =)

    3) Why do the weapons disapear in the the bases?
    A: It's called no respawn! And the point i am making is to grab your weapons and defend, not jump to the turrets and then prepare for the onsluaght without a weapon.

    4) This map looks poorly made and for some reason worse than your other map, just saying.
    A: Well to answer that, statement, If you compare the old to the new, the story fits this map, this map looks a lot more filled, and of course this map has a better volcano. So if you think that it is worse than just compare the two, trust me you'll see after a closer look.
    Hope you enjoy the new V2 of Mt. Box-Ruption! =)

    i agree with jasonyo, the map looks (in my opnion) worse. for some reasons,
    reason 1 the volcano and the houses look very sloppy.
    reason 2 you still didnt take out the armoury seeing as you just moved it down stairs
    reason 3 ummm it looks like you cut and pasted your volcano together....

    Well i did post really fast i will admit, but the only reason i did was because if I had made a map and so far people didn't like it. I wanted to make a better map that people would like sooner. I did take about 3 to 5 hours making new arrangments and about the Volcano. I made it look sloppy because i wanted it to feel like a rough, and all around terrible one. The whole idea revolves around the BAD volcano and thusly I created that. The armory needed to stay though and of course i'll make a V3, but this one will stay on for quite a while, until I break into a new idea. Oh and if you guys think I rush my maps then please don't. I thurely enjoy making maps and for this case I just posted it quickly. There was a ton of thought and TLC put into the making because i wanted to keep this idea. I love this map and nobody can disagree otherwise, I just keep making new versions quickly thats all. Thnx for the comment though. =)

    Edit From V1: This is soooooo much better. You took the weapons off inter locked the volcano to be a cone like it should be :) and made more cover. I think i will DL now.

    This looks... worse. There's still an armoury with over-powered weapons, the volcano looks not much better and the buildings are still sloppy, and how does the weapons sliding off the carriers help even the fighting out?

    The bases look clean, but this map is no better if not worse. 1.5/5
