Description:
This map was inspired by a Quake Arena map I once played. It is however very unique from the map that inspired it. As you can see from the photos below it is above Blackout. My friends and I most enjoyed Slayer and Team Slayer game types but it will work for all default Halo 3 game types as well. This map consists of 4 platforms and a center turret tower. I went to a great deal of effort to control people's "flight patterns" out of the 8 "man cannons" despite whether a person enters at an angle or jumps upon entrance they almost always land where they should. Also each man cannon has a single fusion coil that you can lunch to the opposing platform into a few well placed propane tanks or you can surprise an unsuspecting traveler in midair with a fusion coil to the face. Also there is one overshield in midair between the 2 back man cannons to help ensure safe passage when ambushing someone on the other side.

Weapons and Placement:

*Platform nearest Actual the Blackout map has the Spartan Laser.
*Lower Platform you will find Lots of different duel weapons, a mauler, and a rocket launcher/fuel rod cannon on a 2 min delayed respawn.
*Center tower has 2 human and 1 alien turret.
*The 2 opposing Platforms are very symmetrical and have Lots of BRs, Carbines, 1 sniper and a Sentinel Beam (on each side).

Weapons list:

Spartan Laser x1 on top middle platform
BR x4 (2 on each opposing upper platform)
Carbine x2 (1 on each opposing platform)
Sniper x2 (1 on each opposing platform)
Rocket launcher x1 (on lower platform with a 120 sec delayed respawn)
Rod cannon x1 (on lower platform with a 90 sec respawn
Sentinel Beam x2 (one on each opposing platform)
Needler x1 (on left upper platform)
Brut Shot x1 (on right upper platform)
Turret x1 (on turret center tower)
Plasma cannon x2 (on center turret tower)
3 sets of Duel weapon combos on lower platform inside boxes (SMG/Plasma, magnum/pasma pistol, spiker/smg)
Mauler x1 (on lower platform)
