    Large Map, Vehicles
    Originally designed for Big Team Battle


    This is my most downloaded map to date.
    I spent every single dollar I could in forge mode.
    The map itself is a simple layout, based off of a Chess Board.
    It is fed falling chunks by 3 Death Balls in the sky which spread vehicle debris across the open battlefield, supplying quite a fair amount of cover, but can crush you if your not careful.
    Also, The debris is randomly fed into the Death Balls, so the debris is never guaranteed to hit the same place twice.

    Each side begins with a wide variety of vehicles:
    A Rocket Warthog, a Gauss Warthog, a Revenant, a Wraith, a Scorpion, A Falcon and a Banshee.
    The Turret right in front of the jump provides great covering fire while your friends soar clean over you with a Warthog to get into the action. There is an actual trench on either side, which if you duck provides full cover from the other trench. For more in depth trench warfare.
    The Teleporter sends you up to the Towers.

    You can also go under the battlefield where there is no cover, but you will be protected from all the falling debris.

    Weapons on this map:
    Spartan Laser (x2)
    Sniper Rifle (x2)
    Grenade Launcher
    Rocket Launcher
    Battle Rifle
    Needle Rifle
    Machine Gun Turret (x2)

    So, I hope you guys enjoy this map.

    This looks interesting but seems like it may have some frame rate lag, especially since you're out of cash, which means that there is a whole lot going on in the map.

    I'm really curious as to why your photos are blurry. How did you capture the screenshots?

    Are you taking pictures of your screen, because some of the screenshots seem blurry. If you're using this guide for getting screenshots they should be much better quality.

    As for the map, try to build something with more structure instead of just an open flat space. Some other people have built variations of this style of gameplay, most notably trench wars, and its easily overused. The vehicle debris are a nice touch but other than that there's little to make this stand out. I feel like your other map, the cottage, was much better.

    The falling pieces are cool. It'd be funny to see a player get hit with one, haha

    Like pyro said you should add more cover though. Also the Gauss Hogs are going to f*ck up every other vehicle on here, so you should remove those.

    I think you mean dmr, not battle rifle xD
