Hello there! I'm back, and with a new, more unique map than the last! History of The Tower [beta]: Some of you may recall The Tower of Power on Ascension back in the Halo 2 days. Well, let's be honest here; some of us miss those days. Myself included. So, last night, Apollo 090, Raj of Kashmir and PCXVII (me) decided to ressurect the good 'ol days. This time, on Sandtrap. After about 4 (four) hours of grueling work we decided we liked it... but as all Forgers know, just because the creator likes it, that doesn't necessarily gaurentee the rest will appreciate it. That is why we come to you to test our map. It needs to be critiqued and edited by Friday, December fourteenth for a school-sponsored LAN party. So, men and women of Forge Hub, I implore you to download, play it and get back to me with feedback. Thank you all so much! Link to map: The Tower of Power Link to recommended gametype: Vertigo Description of map: There are two bases. The attackers, who start with a lot of Shotguns and a Splazer, as well as Flares and Bubble Shields. There are two Mongeese on the attacker's side as well as another, harder to reach vehicle. The second base, for the defenders is elevated on the highest spire on Sandtrap. It contains two turrets on top. The objective is to stop the Shotgunning horde below using the Turrets. The oncoming attackers have a "runway" filled with cover, as well as a Sniper with a single clip in the center of the map. Beware, the Sniper is located near the "heavenly teleporter" which will bring the sniper to a secret sniping location. Enjoy! Pictures: The Attacker's Base The Tower of Power in all its majesty The two Mongeese When you take the first teleporter, let go of the left thumbstick, and you're in for a treat. Take this teleporter after grabbing the sniper, but don't move once you reach the destination. So, there it is folks. The Tower of Power. Agian, here is the link to the map. Enjoy!
correct me if im wrong but isnt Tower of Power supposed to be shotguns only? Thats how it always was when i played it. Im not dissing your map, im just saying, technically, that this is nothing like ToP. Its going to be hard to re-create ToP without Ascension. You can build a really cool Tower, sure, but having to get to it via teleporters and wonky gayness kinda ruins the feel of the original ToP.
i agree with you titmar, which is why ive been having trouble with my tower of power map, because of that reason..and the fact all my friends are busy with other games, or are matchmaking junkies and making boxes float by yourself isnt all to easy, and signing in a guest is a pain.
