Onward on The Behemoth
Created by Speed e cake

Map and Gametype Description

Tower of Power was one of my favorite games from Halo 2, it was a game of Shotguns only and no shields where both teams rushed the tower that held the turret, the only ranged weapon on map.

Start of round spawn.

The Behemoth, however is a map on Sandtrap that uses the Elephant in a similar way. Onward is King of the Hill variant that is a Tower of Power counter part, tailored to Sandtrap's play style. Outside of the hill, players movement is double default (200%) letting them get to the Elephant quicker and not wasting too much time when respawning to get back into the fray. Everyone is armed with a Shotgun, just like Tower of Power and have no shields.

The Elephant.

The hill itsealf never moves and surrounds the Elephant, gives every player on the Elephant a damage boost (from 50% to 100%), speed reduction (from 200% down to 100%), ability to drive vehicles and finally, earns your team points. Every round lasts 5 minutes and there are 3 rounds, each with unlimited score.

Bubble Shields and other tools are on this map just for you ;)

With the turret, one may think it is impossible to over take the Elephant. I thought about that, so I added three different things to help you out: Bubble shields, Custom Power Ups and a Missle Pod. The Bubble shields spawn 45 seconds into the round in the following locations:

Notice the Custom Power Up.

The Custom Power ups give 15 seconds of invisibility, instead of regualar active camo that give 30 seconds. This should be long enough to run to the Elephant without being spotted. The Custom Power ups spawn 60 seconds into the round and are found in the following locations:

The Missle Pod is for taking out the turreter and possibly the driver of the Elephant if all else fails. There is only one on the map and it spawns 120 seconds into the round, and can be found here:

The turret can reach even the ramp leading to it.

How not to take control of the Elephant.

Hiding can prove useful in situations.

A lack of comunication with teammates can end up like this.

Rushing is simple, yet effective.

Even out of the hill, this tactic is extremly vital for a takeover.

Thank you to everyone who playtested this map, especially RPAL and evan12057 who gave suggestions for alternate weapons.
