    PLEASE COMMENT!!!

    Story:

    X-Men III: The Last Stand, for those who didn't see it: The Humans have created a cure for mutants. The Brotherhood, led by Magneto, storms across the Golden Gate Bridge to reach Alcatraz Island, where the Cure is located. To get there, Magneto lifted the bridge into the air and dropped it on the island. Now, as they storm across the sand, the X-Men arrive! And so the epic battle begins...

    Description:

    After looking at some classes maps, I decided I'd give it a shot and make one. This is by far my most complex map to date, yet it isn't that complicated if you know what to do. With that all said, I present; HALONAUT.

    [​IMG]

    Gametypes and Strategy:
    This is a classes map, however, you have no say in your Hero/Villain. For every spawn you are assigned someone randomly.

    2-10 players. 10 strongly reccomended for best gameplay.

    The objective is, as Magneto and the Brotherhood, you must storm the tower and either CTF, plant the bomb or infect the X-Men.

    CTF: Alright, the flag spawns way up in the tower in the secluded floating room. To get there you must scale the tower. First start off by crouch jumping into the small grav-lift rooms at the bottom. The trick here is to then go into the back corner and then run and crouch jump to land up above in the Barricade Hall. Not much to see or do here, although Storm or Cyclops can get some nice snipes and lasers here. Next take the teleporter up a floor where you are now in the open. Don't fall. Run to the rock-climbing barrier wall and be carefall as you jump. Watch your step. Once you make it to the top barrier, run and crouch jump up into the middle room. Here you have some options. You can A- fall into the room and use the turrets for defensive purposes, or B- continue. Supposing you choose B, you must now jump into the mancannons above you for a sometimes easy, sometimes frustrating elevator ride to the top. Permitting you make it and don't shoot off the tower, you are now at the final step :] YAY! take a grav lift from the weapon holder and throw it in front of you, preferably near the edge. now take a new grav lift (instant respawn) and jump into the first one, propelling you onto the penultimate floor. Here, throw the final grav lift at the very edge on the side near the flag room. Run and jump to soar through the air and into the room. Congratz!!! You made it! Now you'll just have to make it back to the bridge...

    To do this, take the teleporter in the flag room to return to the ground below. There are two ways to do this next part. The easiest is to have your teammates help you run/drive to the bridge, where you can find a grav lift that'll lift you to the bridge, or try the hard way and go to the teleporter perched high above blue base. There you must skillfully scale the small tower to reach the porter that takes you to the top of the bridge. SCORE!!!

    Assault is basically the same, except lucky you, you don't have to make the return trip. Infection is well, infection... Also note that you can easily play team slayer on this map. I don't have the gametype yet though, but it's coming...

    Description Continued...

    Alright, the map is simple. There is a bridge on one side and a tower on the other. Each team spawns and takes there players and begins. There is one special player though. On the Brotherhood team, the Juggernaut (Halonaut) spawns in the blue base, away from the team, and is trapped there by a grav lift and crate. After 30 seconds a grav hammer spawns and he also has spike grenades and a custom powerup that makes him near invincible. The brotherhood team must get to blue base and grab an overshield in front of the crate which will allow it to be pushed away and the Juggernaut can escape. However, if you are skilled with the Grav Hammer, it is possible to destroy the grav lift and, using the powerup, quickly run out the door before it instantly respawns. NOTE: You need the Juggernaut. He will assist you greatly as he is near invincible, or at least, moreso than everyone else. That said, it's time to tell you about:

    The Players:

    X-Men:

    Wolverine: The vicious leader is here!

    [​IMG]

    He comes equipped with his claws, (Energy Swords), Spike Grenade throwing knives, assault rifles and an overshield for extra backup. Also, for some extra fun, use his trip mine!

    Cyclops: Getting Bored and want to get laser-y (?) Cyclops is just that. With his Laserbeam eyes (Spartan Laser and Sentinel Beams) He is extremely powerful. Also has plasma grenades and deployable cover.

    Storm: The fierce weather controller comes too! She has her lightning quick Sniper and thunderous SMGs, along with frags and a flare.

    Rogue: She'll drain your shields with her Power Drainer and will take you down with Shottys and BR's, along with some Frags...

    Beast: The Blue Behemoth is playable. His powerful Grav Hammer and Assault Rifles will tear you to shreds along with plasma grenades and a bubble shield for defense.

    The Brotherhood:

    Magneto: The Magnetic Leader is here and he has Shottys and MAGnums (lol, pun intended) He also carries plasma nades and a flare.

    Pyro: He's exploding into the game, literally!

    [​IMG]
    Pyro has flame grenades, a sentinel beam, BR's and of course, a Flamthrower. ​

    Sabertooth: Wolverines archenemy is here to take down his foe. He comes with his Energy Swords, a regenerator and frags, along with assault rifles.​

    Quill: If you saw the movie, you know who this is (kills nurse... porcipine... no?) His spikes make him pretty edgy. He has dual spikers and needlers for that purpose. Also, he has a radar jammer to throw off opponents.​

    Juggernaut: The two ton monstrosity has rampaged into Halo, and nothing is gonna stop him. He has, as said, a grav hammer, spike nades and the ultimate custom powerup, giving him inc. speed, inc gravity and 4x Overshield as well as 1000x damage resistance. Hes a wrecking ball.​

    Note:

    Although I'm guessing right now you're like, OMG WTF??? HES STACKED!!! Well yea, but not incredibly. All players start with 2x overshields, 500x resistance and 150x damage. Flag and bomb carriers have 3x overshields, 1000x resistance and inc. speed and jumping. (making them slightly better). The result: Huge explosive and long battles that can last up to or sometimes more than a minute. It can get hectic. Of course, the best way to handle the Juggernaut is to assassinate, if you can... ​

    Note 2:

    Final Note before Pics: The Juggernaut has one life. After one spawn, no one can respawn in the room. Of course, you can run in through the grav lift or take the overshield and enter...​

    I'm...speechless. So, basically, everyone gets their different "character" by what is in their spawn? Seems everyone would run for the Juggernaut spawn. The architecture looks well made, and I can tell a lot of thought went into this. Very nice. That said, I personally won't DL. Not my style. But I do like it.

    thnk u... actually no, the respawns r set (sry i ddnt make it clear, rushed to fit everything in lol) the spawns r in each area. Xmen spawn in red base. There is no way into there, just out. Each spawn is segregated so u cnt easily spawn nd take a different person. The brotherhood spawn in small areas in teh bridge and cnt go farther than their weapons before teleporting away. So theres no rush for a certain thing. Hope that makes it clearer, again, sry lol and thnk u for the comment

    Not a problem. But, something keep in mind, is someone, somewhere, will find a way. I'd be willing to put money on it. I don't care who you are, or how good your map is, someone will find a way to break it.

    Who said they had to be determined? My cousin breaks every map I make, and 85% of the time cusses about it, because he didn't want to go there. I don't know how many times I've watched him do something dumb and go soaring over a wall or something. A tiny box is the best solution for some people...

    hmm, i should mention this. Ok, now the the map is completely Gobble Proof, it is now impossible for anyone to go back into the Juggernaut room once he escapes. He also is now entirely trapped. So u MUST open his door to get him out, or just leave him there nd let ur teammate suffer lol
