Description: Symmetrical arena-type map inspired from past Halo 2 maps Beaver Creek, Foundation, and Warlock. I built this map with CTF in mind first, and it supports both Multi and One Flag variants. Works well with Team Slayer also (either Head-to-Head, Doubles, or 3v3).
The layout is basic, and takes just a minute or two to get your bearings. The match starts off with a rush to the center of the map for the Rocket Launcher, blood will be shed.

Each side has 2 rifles (1 BR, 1 Carbine), a Mauler, a Needler, and 2 SMG’s. 1 incendiary grenade, 2 Plasmas, and 2 Spike grenades per side also. A Rocket Launcher and 4 frag grenades line the center.

The teleporters shown in the pics are connected to each other, giving the map a Warlock-type flow.
Equipment can be found near the back of each of the 4 staircases lining the corners of the bases. One flare and one Radar Jammer for each side.

The layout is slightly different for One Flag. The dumpster in front of the Defender’s base is moved to the same spot in the back of the base, and the fence wall on the 2nd level of the Defender’s base is moved forward to the edge. This makes it a bit more difficult for the attacking team, but a grenade jump is possible if your sneaky enough. Also, in one flag, I took out the grav lift and the Rocket Launcher…it just didn’t feel right in One Flag.

Suggestions for both CTF variants: reduce the Flag Carrier speed so it makes it more difficult to score, since its not a very long way to travel.

This is one of my more basic maps, and I cant wait to share some more innovative ones with everyone in the very near future. Many more maps to come in the next few days, actually. They are all done basically, just finishing up the spawn points/areas on most of them and I should have about 9 or so more maps ready to publish (yeh I said it…9).
