Fy_Buzzkill, a Counter-Strike spiritual successor with a unique style of play

Hot death in a variety of flavors! Playing on this map with 12 or more people would be like...fighting an epic battle in the Baskin Robbins of destruction and mayhem, Halo style. Who doesn't want that?

Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details

Sorry guys, due to storage issues I only have a few screens and a link to the Map. No room for the gametype in my file share.

For those of you who don't already know, this is a remake of Fy_Buzzkill with a couple of twists. The top level of the bases can be reached from the ends of the lower passage and from the raised area near the center of the map. You can also drop down to the lower passage from the elevated walkway between the bases. There's a gap between the walkway and the wall.

Here are the gametype basics for a genuine Halo experience of the Buzzkill arena:

Shields and grav: normal (50% grav for a guaranteed good time)
Starting weapon: magnum
Starting grenades: frags only
Radar: friendlies only
Lives per round: 1 (recommended, as weapons don't respawn)
Number of rounds: however many you wish

Notes about the map itself:

Nothing respawns, which is why 1 life rounds are crucial for this map to play properly as-is.

I have only placed starting spawn points in each "base" under the Team Slayer gametype.

No other gametype's spawns or objective points have been used and can be found floating in the upper portion of the crypt.

There are 30 some additional respawn points floating up there too, knock yourselves out if you want to set this up for other gametypes...just remember nothing is set to respawn if you want to play extended matches.

Every weapon you could possibly ask for is placed in front of the starting spawns x2. You has options.

There are a couple of extra battle rifles near the spawns.

There are plasma grenades under or near the pallets.

There is a flamethrower in the middle of the isolated tower (since there can only be one).

I also added a couple of obstacles near the tower to fill an otherwise empty space.

There is one big difference between the way this map plays compared to the Counter-Strike version, and that's the agility factor. You can maneuver all over between the upper and lower levels of the bases if you're even just a little bit of a ninja. I think it will give the map a nice Halo touch, instead of gluing the players to the ground like Counter-Strike does.

But one way in which I do want this map to play like C-S, is obviously the 1 life per round setting. This makes the game much more strategic. I suggest that players choose their weapons wisely at the start of the match.

Let me know what you guys think. Cheers!
