    Well, it's certainly been a while since I've posted a map. But the ideas keep coming so I keep forging!

    I present to you: Reactor Core!

    Recommended Players: 6-10
    Supported Gametypes: Slayer, CTF, Assault (I don't recommend Neutral Assault), King of the Hill

    Download REACTOR CORE

    First and foremost, yes Reactor Core looks a lot like "Boarding Action". Reactor Core is inspired by, and an homage to the Halo 1 map Boarding Action, although smaller. The map features two symmetrical bases facing one another.

    Let's get this out of the way. The center pit EQUALS DEATH. No, I won't give you an easy way out. You aren't supposed to fall in. You can escape if you're lucky, but 99% of the time you'll die by the fusion cores, or everyone shooting at the moron who fell in (hehe).

    Reactor Core is a 3 tiered level. Your radar is somewhat neutered in this situation. However, this makes combat all the more intense. Sometimes knowing what side you are on can be confusing, but just glance at the lettered signs on each side.

    Combat shifts a lot in this map. From ranged battles across the pit with BRs, Snipers and Needlers, to close range scuffles with SMGs and Brute Shots. Communication is key. As your allies sneak across, tell them where enemies are hiding, and pin the opponents down with constant fire, and grenades.

    By the way: Multiflag CTF is a blast on this.

    Everybody loves Screenshots!

    Overview of the map. The "Pit of Death" in the middle

    One of the bases. Took a long time to make the floors as even as possible while making sure I didn't use up my walls and stuff too early :p
    [​IMG]

    The First floor has an express lift straight to the third floor
    [​IMG]

    and has a tasty active camo to boot!

    The Third floor is where the flagroom is. It's easy to protect the flag with the choke points, but be warned that grenades can easily clear this room out too.

    The flagroom has 2 entrances. The left one leads to the stairwell. The right one is where the grav lift takes you

    There is a sniper rifle on each side, with plenty of cover but be wary...

    Teleporters make it easy for enemies to sneak up and assassinate you!

    The Choke points to the flag room must be tackled carefully

    Someone didn't get the memo...

    Looks fun. Do the cores drop or are they just spawned on the floor? DL l8r

    One core will drop, the others spawn on the floor and will trigger each other.

    Cool...I made a map that has cores dropping everywhere at different intervals...I like the random interaction with boards. Wish there were more options for that

    You finally released it, as soon as I download this, I am playing a game of CTF snipers on it.

    As a sidenote I loved Boarding Action and Intersection.

    Looks nice, Lintendo. Always have been a fan of Boarding action and I'm glad a good-looking homage has surfaced. About those exploding fusion coils, are they constantly exploding or is it an interval thing?

    Were those pictures taken from the game that we played yesterday?

    Anyways, this is a really great map and is definitely like Boarding Action. CTF is really enjoyable, especially when you have the flag and camp the teleporter to get rid of all the enemies following you. :D

    Downloading.

    Looks cool Lintendo, I'm gonna download it. But what I get from it is that there is an explosion of fusion coils every so often? I created a map with constant explosions and it proved to get annoying after a while. Might I suggest just leaving them on the ground and letting people shoot the coils to cause the explosion?

    Looks great. Does it lag when the fusion coils explode though?

    I haven't had any fusion core lag yet. The cores explode every 10 seconds
