Temple 2

Reminiscing the memories of the past can be fun, especially when it comes to video games. Recently a couple of friends and I decided to pull out my old 64 and play some classic games such as Perfect Dark and 007 Golden Eye. It was then that one of my friends suggested that I bring back a map or two. So I started going through the maps and I came upon Temple, which I knew would be suitable for Sandbox for its Egyptian like setting.

I eventually got back on Halo after a few hours of 64 and got started forging it. As a few hours went by, I realized that budget takes out a lot of the fun when creating a map on a massive scale.

So with this small but fixable problem, I decided to connect the rooms that I had by linking smaller hallways so that the entire map would flow evenly, as well as having all areas easy to access.

for instance, this the the Golden Column room leads to the upper corridor, lower tomb, and down to the Overshield hall

after passing the overshield hall, you will be forced to go up ramp to the left wich leads you back to the main corridor

back to the lower tomb, which again can be accessed through the golden column room, has multiple rows of columns that players can use to their advantage for either stealth or protection. The easiest way out of the tomb, would be through the cloak room.

the cloak room is the second largest room on the map, mainly for the three way access points, and for those who really dont feel like going out to the main corridor for confrontations

last but not least, the Main Corridor for which most of the confrontaions occur, there are 6 access ways to this place and an additional way out through the hole near the center that leads to the tomb below. This allows an easy flow for its upper and lower level, and not to mention a convenient way out for one who has taken a considerable amount of damage

The main focus on this map was for free for all based game play, or zombies for all you hard core fans out there.

The weapons on this map are:

Spartan laser: north side in the main corridor
Sniper: south side of the main corridor
Sword:on ramp accesing the cloak room on the north side
Plasma Rifles(2): west hall near ramp accessing center
Mauler: north east side hall leading to overshield hall
SMG(2): south west corner leading down to small room
Brute Shot: south west room
Shotgun: east side hall near ramp accessing center
assault rifle: golden column room south east corner
Gravity Hammer: lower tomb

Power Ups on this map are:

cloak: north east corner in cloak room
Overshield: north west in overshield hall

The credit for this map variant goes to the RAREWARE developers who created its original design, and may their games never be forgotten!
