Description: End of world is an aesthetic version map of the original campaign scarab. The recreation of the covenant scarab has been tried before, but nothing that even comes close to End of world. This map isn't just show in tell the unique gameplay has been built around the construction of actual bases, bunkers, and terrain defenses. The terrain defenses that have been added are rocks and drop pods which hold supplies for the marines on the ground. Another feature is when you have destroyed the engine core the scarab will actually explode.

Wow, this is a really good aesthetic map that youve made playable aswell. i really like the crane the most. but each base looks great in their own way. Wish you had a pic of scarab exploding. my xbox is broke right now so i cant download. Me que it though

Well, I have to say this is definitely one of the better scarabs I've seen. The interlocking looks good for the most part, as does the geo-merging. My only complaints are that I think you should have put a little more time into geo-merging, such as geo-merging your boxes flat against the walls of foundry and slightly into the ground. Doing both of those would help to make your map's geometry look more like it is apart of foundry and not just a few boxes in a building, it would also get rid of those nasty grenade traps. My other complaint, which is minor, is that I feel that your map needs some form of structure behind the scarab. I know the map was meant to be open to alow for vehicular combat, but I fell something back there would really pull the map together. As the map stands, I would give it a 4/5, but if you were to aleast do the geo-merging I sugested, I would give it a 5/5

Grrrrrr. This is one of the only maps I've seen that I am daunted by. It's a really cool structure. I especially love the pic with the regenerator in the mouth of the scarab. The wraith on the top is amazing too. I still can't figure out why it doesn't move.

I could have sworn that I'd posted on this already, but after looking over the thread again, it must have slipped my mind. Luckily, it means the post is pre-composed in my head.I didn't think that the exploding feature would be very good at all, but actually liked it alot when I tried it. The fusion coils explode in the right place on the scarab so it looks as close to genuine as possible (barring multiple explosion points, but this would be a nightmare to set up a switch for). The way the power core was pulled off also impressed me, and its definitely the most immersive Scarab I've seen. The grav lift did trap me though, and whilst I could easily get out by smashing it, it did detract a little.The interior was bang on, and this does indeed seem like a genuine attempt at a solid repro of a campaign moment (turrets in the right place inside the scarab, map geometry gave the right impression etc.). The 2 back bases of foundry were very good, and the generally high quality of interlocking was present in them as well. I liked how playable they seemed, and this leads on to my only real problem with the map. Strictly speaking, its a problem with aesthetic maps in general, and is actually more of a suggestion in this case. Aesthetic maps fail to grab me often as they lack much playability, even in the run-around-in-forge kind, and they get old to me quite quickly. I thought that this map actually dispelled that in some parts, becoming a nicely aesthetic map that was also very playable and fun to run around, not something I stumble across often. I just feel that the area underneath and behind the scarab is a little bare, it fits the bill for accuracy and aesthetics nicely, so the map achieves its goal, but I'd really like to see a competitive version of this map, with a little more map geometry in the open areas and 1 or 2 more ways onto the scarab. As it is, for an aesthetic map, this grabbed me more than expected, and I genuinely enjoyed running around it and trying the elevator etc.
