Map Description
Hecatomb is a two base symetrical battleground. Perfect for 1v1 up to 6v6. Over 15 hours of testing completed. Each base has two entrances via enclosed staircase and ramp-way (are on opposite sides of each base.) The bases have a very unique feeling to them. Partially because you can defend them easily with a decent strategy (which comes in handy in most gametypes.)

Between the bases lies the battlegrounds. In the absolute center of the battleground is a tower-like structure. This is not by any means the objective of the map, but it is however a vantage point. It's also not an area that can be used to "run" the map, I personally made sure of that. You must find your own way onto the first level of it (It's the size of two double boxes next to each other.) From there you can teleport yourself up to my favorite part of the map [The Catwalk] Once your there you have a pretty good overview of the battleground. From the catwalk you can make a leap to the roof of the tower-like structure. Around the structure is where most of the fighting happens. My favorite section is where you have one point where you can view each other from base to base (from ramp-way to ramp-way.)

Hecatomb is intended to test you down to the nitty-gritty :) The weapon placement and spawn/clip settings are absolutley perfect in 11 different testers opinions. Like I have mentioned before we have spent around 17.5 hours in testing alone. This map will definitely test your real halo skills, because that is how I have designed it to play.
