My newest map called Spartan Base 117 is now availiable for the masses of Forgehub.com to download. The first map in a series of 3 that I have planned to make takes you into almost every gameplay aspect of Halo 3.

To start, let me say that there are three full floors of the map each with its own unique strategy to be successful in.

Corridor of Death
_______________________________________________________________

The Corridor of Death as I call it has its own unique strategy in the sense that you can not simply walk through this battle field, you have to jump your way through. But the good part about making it across without dying is that there are strong weapons on either side that you can equip. There are also two gravlifts on either side so you can reach the top floor of the map.

The Spartan Heights
_____________________________________________________________

Just like the Corridor the Heights are unique in the sense that you have to try to stay on top without falling off while fighting. There are some weapon drops up here (mainly duals) and if you can find a grav lift, you can get the active camo along with a powerful weapon. You can get up here by either going on the gravlifts in the Corridor or the walkway coming from the Snipers Perch.

Sniper Perch
______________________________________________________________

(will have screen shot soon)

The snipers perch is the only place on the map that has a sniper rifle, and a beam rifle, and is a great spot to lay low for a second and snipe those trieing to get across the Corridor. But the map was designed so that you could not camp in the same place for long, so you might want to go to one of the other high points of the Base.

Shotgun Row
______________________________________________________________

This area is named obviously because it is the only place in the map that has the Shotgun as well as a few other powerful weapons to kill the enemy. As you can see there is a small pit in the middle of the area, but don't worry, if you fall in a gravlift will take you right out. (It can be used as a good way to dodge enemy fire!) In the corner of the picture you see the top of a gravity hammer, there are also a few helpful gagets up here to help you.

Weapons and Equiptment
______________________________________________________________

I am going to make all of my Spartan Base maps filled with weapons and even a vehicle or two. But for now let me tell you the kind of weapons it has.

7 Plasma Grenades
7 Spike Grenades
3 Fire Grenades
3 Bubble shields
2 Trip Mines
2 Grav Lifts
1 Active Camo
1 Assault Rifle
3 Battle Rifle
1 Shot Gun
1 Sniper Rifle
2 SMG
2 Spiker
1 Plasma Pistol
2 Plasma Rifle
2 Needler
2 Brute Shots
1 Rocket Launcher
1 Energy Sword
1 Gravity Hammer
2 Covenant Carbine
2 Mauler
1 beam Rifle
1 Sentinal Beam

As you tell, there are many weapons to kill the enemy with, but I placed all the weapons strategically. For example, the sniper rifles on high areas and powerful weapons where they are hard to get or will there will be much competition.

Game Types
_____________________________________________________________

After playing on Spartan Base 117 for about two hours straight on all kinds of game varients, it seems the games that work the best are Slayer and Team Slayer. Capture the Flag works fairly well on the map but there are only two ways to go with flag where you be well protected.
