Thema: Halo 3 Map Testing - YOU could be a part of it! So März 30, 2008 8:52 am
Before spring break I just started to work on my map called "No Man's Land". If you learned anything in history class about World War I, you probably know that this is vocabulary used in the context of trench warfare. I don't have any visuals yet (I will definitely take screenshots of testing), however, I can give you a brief description of the playing course.
The map is based from foundry, and has many stacked walls designed as trench walls (these are face down, so the walls are very thin stacked on to each other) and three stacked walls builds to be about the size of yourself.
There's machine gun turrets, and occasionally, you will be able to take control of an artillery cannon (undrivable wraith) and blow the hell out of the enemies hiding, or flush out a mass amount of reds/blues. However, whatever you take hold of is very vulnerable to enemy fire, because the players have an extremely low health (like veteran difficulty on the cod games if you have ever played them). Your health and small shields recharge very quickly however, so a few seconds in hiding will do the trick to get back into war.
The weapons are all human (unless you're counting the wraith gun). There's the majority which is shotguns, a few snipers, magnums, smgs, and other short-medium range weapons (not the sniper, but the sniper does take more skill to utilize usefully on this map). There's a flamethrower in the center, however, you will not be able to fit inside foxholes while holding it, so hold on to your helmet when there's an artillery strike.
Now, there are three gametypes, Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Headquarters(HQ is still WIP). Team Deathmatch is your traditional team slayer, however, prepare to put the "death" in team deathmatch fore a small burst with an assault rifle can give you a kill. Domination is almost like territories. The territories don't take long to capture, but you have to stay sharp because you can get knocked out very easily in this map as well. Headquarters is supposed to be styled like a king of the hill game, where teams try to capture hills that are only alive for about 15 seconds. Staying alive in these areas gives you 5 points a second you're in the ring.
I hope you consider this request to come and join. I'm sorry for the article-length description, but I wanted to give you a better understanding of the map without pictures (So instead of pictures, I gave you a thousand words ) . Hope to see you there, and if you don't have taegukgi1016 added to your friends list, make sure to post yours here (do not add me when I don't know who the hell you are because I'll just deny the invitation).
Testing time will be at about 3-5ish EST. The closer we get to that time the better my estimate will be.
