Most of the maps being posted now are either on Foundry or one of the other DLC maps. This Map Pack, however, will deviate from that pattern by bringing you some gaming goodness from the original release maps. I was doing some cleanup on my hard-drive when I uncovered some maps I had made prior to the DLC’s release, indeed even before I had heard of Forgehub.

UNEARTHED: The Pre-DLC Map pack

Triage
This Impromptu Field Hospital was hastily abandoned during a covenant raid. 2-8 Players
Triage is a revamped version of Construct, the map introduces new cover, weapons and play-styles. When you step onto this map you will discover that everything you thought you knew about Construct has changed. In one sided games, such as Infection, One Bomb, One Flag etc, the defenders are set on the top floor and are provided with multiple barricades as layers of defense.

As one defensive layer is penetrated, the defenders can fall back to the next.

In Asymmetric games, the lifts are effectively sealed off by means of teleporters as are the support struts for the sword catwalk. This forces the attackers to take the ramp or gravity lifts to reach the top floor. As a result, it is generally a good idea to lengthen the time limit in objective games, with the possible exception of Infection.

One more thing, the map is positively Littered in equipment and weapons.

Asgard
Formerly a small reserve, this gorge was repurposed as a communications relay following the advent of the firing. 6-16 Players
Asgard is a refocused Valhalla. The map incorporates a Scorpion, two Hornets, four Warthogs and Mongooses.

To counter the heavy Vehicle presence, each base is equipped with a Spartan Laser in addition to it’s default equipment and weaponry.

Instead of a Laser spawning in the center, a beam Rifle is the reward for anyone who reaches the central ridge first. Four Human Snipers are placed on the map, but they all take a hit in terms of Clip Size. Probably the most unique feature of this map is the tele taps. The teleporters next to the Scorpion (see above) send players to the tips of the spires on each base.

Stranded
A hostile environment drove the original inhabitants away, now this place is a treasure trove of their history. 6-16 players
Stranded takes Sandtrap back to epic infantry battles. The vast majority of the map’s resources, (Weapons, Equipment, Vehicles, etc.) are concentrated in four places. Each elephant sports a sniper, Laser, Shotgun, 2 BRs, a Warthog, Trip mine, and more.

Each elephant is also linked to a two way teleporter that sends users to the opposite side of the map. These landing points are the other two primary resource points, each houses a Needler, Regen, Chopper, Brute Shot, BRs Grenades and other supplies.

The central trench is flanked by two bunkers, where smaller concentrations of resources are focused.

The final touch to this map is a Scorpion behind each Elephant’s primary starting point.
