    Myriad

    Where legends are made and fall.

    Summary:
    Myriad was inspired by the best of the best maps. Some created by Bungie such as Zealot and Reflection. The other inspirations came from here, Vanilla and Envy. With these inspirations I attempted to craft a map for the best of team slayer games, with many features to keep even the best player on his toes, with no overpowering weapon like a sniper rifle, and above all- flow. If that was off the whole map would seem strange.
    But what is Myriad? Well the word itself means "countless, or extremely great number" and because this map was inspired by so many others, I figured it was appropriate. Myriad is a 2-story map built around 3 pools of water. As I built up from that initial design I added new elements such as the bridge and four side rooms. this is my first highly liked slayer map, as when I recently tested I was in fact told that I should send it to Bungie.

    Weapons on Map:
    Magnum: 2
    DMR: 4
    Needle Rifle: 2
    Needler: 2
    Plasma Launcher: 1
    Plasma Pistol: 2
    Plasma Repeater: 2

    Update (2.12.11):
    slight coloring changes, phased railings (s.) on bridge replaced by a single column (4 total), Needlers moved to center of lower room, Struts added in upper green and orange rooms, moved Plasma Repeaters, aligned floors in bottom level to a better degree.

    Screenshots:

    Overview:

    Overview:top floor. Red and blue (also Green and Orange) initial spawns shown. Right and left rooms have drop-down shaft to lower green and orange rooms. Bridge in center.
    [​IMG]
    Overview:bottom floor: no initial spawns. Man Cannons at ends to quickly reach top floor. optional side routes available in same location. These are the only ways up, although there are many ways to go down. Note that water seen on right and left sides are in accessible and not viewable during game.

    Just FYI, there's a few maps already out there with the same name... Most notably one by SaLot, the author of Onslaught. Might want to rethink the name.... Sorry.

    compact, yet elegant. This is the type of map I the complainers on Bungie forum that say Reach doesn't have. To sum it up:
    "I don't like it. I love it!" -Pinter
