    ^Click to download the map^​

    The name is very different from the map, as this is the third version of Bleach Arena. I said I wouldn't make another version, but this is the version I made for Bungie Favorites (and it's the first bungie favorites map I've seen that incorporates an area out of the map).

    So how did I get onto favorties? Well, my friend x black kn1ght is a highly regarded member of Halo 3 Wheelmen, and he offered to put one of my maps and gametypes on favorites. I'm not a member of the group, but I think I may be joining them VERY soon...

    Anyway, here are the previous versions of the map (the FH posts of them).

    Bleach Arena and Bleach Arena v2 can be found by these links.

    The changes aren't much, but they REALLY help the gameplay. So, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that replace any old versions of this map and gametype with the current version. Trust me, it DOES play better than it did before.

    Here are the links for the map and gametype (also on the bottom of the post), which spell out: We'll survive on this arena.

    Gametype: We'll survive
    Map: this arena.

    _________________________________________________________________

    The Game Plan...

    Here's how the map works, for those who never played the other two versions. Humans spawn in this large arena inside several unique spawn boxes with a combination of a weapon and a piece of equipment that differs from box to box. Your goal is to survive for an entire 12 minute period without dieing. It's very difficult to last longer than 5 minutes, but it's still possible (I've done it before, twice).

    The zombies start off in a wind tunnel outside of the map. They are flung out into their death after 20 seconds and respawn a white color with weakened damage resistance in the back tunnel of foundry. This makes it more fair to the humans with zombies weakened at the beginning of their spawn. Zombies revert back to their original settings after staying alive for more than 60 seconds. After 30 seconds into the game, the zombies are free to head out into the arena to confront and try to infect the humans.

    Also, please note that if you are a zombie, YOU HAVE TO WAIT THE 60 SECONDS BEFORE GRABBING THE CUSTOM POWERUP OR ELSE IT WON'T WORK ON YOU. YOU CAN'T INTERFERE WITH RESPAWN TRAITS BY THE USE OF A POWERUP.

    Objects on the map spawn with time, so the arena builds itself after the first 3 minutes of the game. In other words, after 3 minutes, your chances of survival will only go down as long as you lose humans to the infected.

    Weapons on Map:
    - Assault Rifle x 1, 60 second respawn time
    - Battle Rifle x 1, 90 second respawn time
    - Beam Rifle x 1, PLaced at Start
    - Energy Sword x 4, Placed at Start
    - Flamethrower x 1, 180 second respawn time
    - Gravity Hammer x 1, Placed at Start
    - Needler x 1, Placed at Start
    - Sentinel Beam x 1, 150 second respawn time
    - Shotgun x 1, Placed at Start
    - SMG x 1, 90 second respawn time
    - Spartan Laser x 1, 120 second respawn time
    - Sniper Rifle x 1, 150 second respawn time

    Equipment on Map:
    - Active Camo x 1, 90 second respawn time
    - Bubble Shield x 1, 150 second respawn time
    - Custom Powerup x 2; 1st Placed at start with a 60 second respawn, 2nd 180 second respawn time
    - Deployable Cover x 1, Placed at start
    - Firebomb Grenade x 2, Placed at start
    - Flare x 1, Placed at start
    - Overshield x 1, 20 second respawn time
    - Power Drain x 1, Placed at start
    - Radar Jammer x 1, Placed at start
    - Regenerator x 1, Placed at start
    - Trip Mine x 1, Placed at start
    ________________________________________________________________

    Screenshots

    In order to prevent zombies from getting out of the map, I blocked off the roof where people could land after going through the teleporter as a zombie.

    Here's the order of timed-spawn scenery, taken from the post from v2, becuase I explained it SO WELL last time (lol).



    And let's not forget the action screenshots.

    This is why swords are on the map.

    Hey! It's the image from up top! But it's not edited anymore and it reminds me of DBZ in a way. XP

    3 against 1? I GOT THIS!!!

    Zombie party in the back hallway, and I wasn't invited... ='(

    That should give you some general (hopefully good) ideas on how gameplay on this map is. But you really should download it, join the 71,000+ people who already have (that number is not made up, BTW).
    ________________________________________________________________
    Again, here are the download links for those who missed them in the beginning of the post.

    Gametype: We'll survive
    Map: this arena.

    If you have any previous versions of this map, replace the map AND gametype with this new version. The changes in forge aren't much, but it really helps gameplay for the better.

    Download and comment (por favor?).

    Haven't checked Favorites yet, actually. This looks like a lot of fun, kind of like Township. Unfortunately I'm unable to play it yet, but you certainly have my download. Sorry I can't really offer any ideas of what I liked or didn't like right now, but I just thought I'd chime in that I have downloaded this and hopefully I'll remember to leave a comment here with my thoughts once I have played. If I don't...then I obviously liked it ;) ...or totally forgot...

    Now this looks good. Great idea (However, I have seen it around) and it looks great too. The map has great interlocking, and the layout is great for the gametype. Great job on this one. 8/10.

    Well of course you've seen it before. The name is different, this is the v3 of Bleach Arena. You can't notice the changes so well unless you actually play it though.

    congrats on favorites and I like the build as you play thing but one thing. When I played this the human(s) could camp in sight of the teleporters with a pistol or something and just one shot them as they fall down.

    Oh, I saw the v2 of this ages ago and meant to download but never got round to it.
    I would like to say that I love the way it flawlessly adds onto itself without messing up and I love the way that double box open spawns, then on with the bridge on top. Don't ask why, I just do. Congrats on bungie favourites.
    I hope to see you around on H3Wheelmen :D
    BlackKnight is such a BK!

    i played this with 16 people. it was amazing when i was a human. then i became the zombie.
    i got pissed. the flame thrower is so over powered in this. you could have AT LEAST made it so they have limited amo... all people did until flamethrower spawned was snipe with a pistol and smgs... then theyd camp in the upper room with one person with the flamethrower and it was impossible to get in.
    then we changed it to limited amo and we all had a lot more fun

    It was fine with me. All you have to do is have a zombie wait 60 seconds and then grab a custom powerup and they'll kill the flamethrower guy.

    Honestly, it was a rocket launcher beforehand.

    This is an awesome map, congrats on it. This idea has been used a lot but you made it more awesome looking, most I've seen were really sloppy. I had the same problem with the flame thrower when I played, even when I grabbed the custom powerup. 4/5

    This game = GOD. No understatement. Playing this with atleast 6 friends is completely addicting. The way the arena builds up is really unique as well. However, like others have said, I would change the flamethrower around a bit, maybe even to the point of deleting it. Camping in flamethrower hallway is way OP, the human pretty much becomes invincible since the flamethrower can effect multiple targets. The overheating doesn't help much. Other than that, three thumbs up. Customs on this arena are unparalelled. 9.8/10 on map, 9.1/10 on gameplay.

    I see the flamethrower is a problem.

    Well...

    I was going to remake this map on Sandbox when I get the chance but not until the maps are publicly released so that everyone can download them. However, I can't change things now, so if you don't want the flamethrower, then I would go into forge and replace it if I were you.

    i have down loaded this and i have to admit,
    its f***in boss

    i love the way the structures spawn but i have edited it and replaced the flamethower for 2 battle rifles and set it to limited ammo

    the game works better with big parties like 12-16

    I wish I could edit the map, but I can't because it's already on Favorites. I still will remember not to add the flamethrower as the final weapon on the Sandbox version though.

    Still, I can't understand why this version of the map has a 3 star rating when the first version was 4 star and the second version was 5 star. But whatever, this map will be updated later on, so no more Foundry versions of this.

    alright i look forward to it.
    you should theme the sandbox one like a hotel. i think that would be pretty cool.
    the structer in the orig. map is cool but it could use some "flare" i no making a good map is sometimes hard to make look good to the eye. but i beleive in you :p

    Hey sweet map and congrats on favorites, I've always wondered, theres a rumor that you get recon if you make it onto the favorites, is that true?

    great idea.
    i really like that you interlock your objects maybe you could also geo-merge but thats not needed.
    i think there is maybe a little too much space you could for example add a wall or a corner or something

    hey before you go off and flame somone you might want to learn to talk first.

    anyway nice map, i liked the idea of the level slowly spawning, which is kinda like what i did on flight 316. BTW you can see the power up in the first pic.
