    Map Description:
    An a-symmetrical map designed for team based games. Big buildings, multi-level bases, flows very well.

    The Aim:
    To create a map that had an ODST city feel to it, and to be very a-symmetrical but yet even and fair gameplay for team based games.

    Weapons/Equipment:
    DMR
    Needle Rifle
    Assault Rifle
    Shotgun
    Sniper Rifle
    Focus Rifle
    Concussion Rifle
    Plasma Pistol
    Plasma Rifle
    Plasma Repeater
    Needler
    Grenade Launcher

    Plasma Grenade
    Frag Grenade




    FAQ's:

    How long did this take you to make?
    A lot quicker then any of my H3 maps, it was about 3 or 4 days.

    I don't like the weapon layout, change it?
    Sorry I did do a lot of testing, I'm fine with it, if you don't like it you can change it, as long as my name is left on it and I'm given full credit.

    Do you actually design your maps first? Or do you just start building from whatever ideas pop into your head?
    Yes, I usually start with an idea and then start sketching it out or making a 3D model in sketchup, this time I made a 3D model.

    Is this map escapable?
    I've had this tested, I'd be surprised if you can get out. Although there is no ceiling there are death barriers (I ran out of money for a ceiling!)

    Do you plan on making more maps?
    Well my new job starts soon, but hopefully I'll get a few more out there, maybe some invasion based maps.

    Can you help me with my map? Please? It's gonna be amazing!
    I'll happily help you out with ideas, or if I think the map is going to be good then I might help with placing things.



    ~Comment back, I hope you like it.~

    Peace.

    alright, this is really cool. i love the design and layout, especially the third picture, which was what made me download the map. it looks as though you put a lot of work into it, and, in my opinion, the city feel you were going for, you definitely achieved.

    this map also looks like it was practically made for strategic gaming and, although im not sure till i download it, looks very interesting for the jet pack loadout. ill be checking this out very soon. queued.

    OH MY GOD PICCETA'S BACK!

    This looks very good. You do seem to have succeeded in creating tall, imposing buildings like in ODST and I really like your use of some of the objects.

    Its been a long time since ive seen your name Picceta, I used to love your foundry maps in Halo 3 and its very good to see you forging again. The map looks very good from what I can see. I shouldnt comment before playing but it looks like there could be one or two power weapons that are not needed. Sniper, Shotgun, Concussion Rifle, Rockets and Grenade Launcher seems like too many to me.
