Description: The idea came for Brute Project came from 2 places. First, my favorite weapon in Halo 3 is the Brute Shot. Itâ€™s the best utility weapon in the game, and can be used in mid-range, close range much like a mauler, and can effectively drive away or even destroy vehicles. So I wanted to create a Brute Shot training ground, if you will. Suggested starting weapon is the Brute Shot (for the full experience). You will never be short on ammo on this map as they are littered all over the map. The 2nd place the inspiration for this map came from was Sketch (of Bungie) and his map Boxed In (Bungie Favorites). I like the idea of a symmetrical layout with 2 unique halves. Brute Project is like thisâ€¦an â€œalmost symmetricalâ€ map. The basic layout is the horseshoe in Foundry with the open back blocked off about Â½ way down. Each side has a unique 2 level interior with a unique 3 level structure at the back. Centered in between the 2 sides along the back wall is a lone-turret on a bridge, and some dividers. Spawning behind the turret 2 minutes (and every 2 after that) into the match is a Custom/Speed Powerup. Basically for 15 seconds you can rip through just about anyone with the turret. Both sides are balanced perfectlyâ€¦ so despite being different, they are equal.

Weapons besides the Brute Shot are sparse. There is 1 BR and 1 Carbine per side, both with 0 extra clips. I still wanted there to be some variety, but the focus to be on the Brute Shot. Use those Rifles wisely, or pay the price. There is also 2 magnums per side, and one Shotgun centered in the single open box splitting the map in half. The basis behind the lack of weapons is that I wanted Brute Project to force players to work together to achieve their objective. Multi-Flag, Team Oddball and Team Crazy King all work phenomenally.

Hallway (notice the door slightly openâ€¦although a player cannot fit through, the flag can similar to Sidewinder and Isolation) and a coordinated strike can result in a quick flag cap
