Isolation Heavy
Atlas

I know what you think:
Isolation = Fail
Heavy = Fail
Then Isolation Heavy Must = Fail. I can assure you, Isolation Heavy will change your mind. The goal was to give players a choice on how they play the match along with giving them some variety. It is NOT a vehicle-centric gametype, Lasers do not rule the map, and it is balanced fun for free-for-all, 4v4 Slayer and 4v4 Objective.

About Your Map
Isolation Heavy gives the power back to the player, allowing them to chose how they want to fight their war. Isolation has evolved from the standard shotgun/sniper control and will require entire map domination, otherwise you will find yourself at the wrong end of a laser. Every player of every skill ability will have fun, thanks to the ghosts and warthogs, but one will need to master the Laser, Banshee, hammer, gravity lift, and even the flare to truly earn the victory.

Lets do a quick review on the common complaints against Isolation:
1.) Repetitive weapon gameplay (BR with occasional sniper usage)
2.) Repetitive location gameplay (Top center and sniper are the key control points)
Heavies:
1.) Typically, Games are based around the multiple number of lasers
2.) It is primarily a vehicle gametype

How does Isolation Heavy by Odin12345 get around this?
1.) Greater weapon variety
- Two Spartan lasers grace each base
- A human turret can be carried around the map, giving vehicles and infantry a good reason to take cover
- the Bruit Shot will become a new favorite since it works very well against vehicles in a close-quarters situation.
- Your BR will still be your primary weapon. The map layout has not changed, so mid to long range BR battles are still a large part of the fight.
2.) More points of interest, including a teleporter.
- A one-way teleporter was added behind the original ghost spawn. This allows for more fluid movement from the bottom to the top of the map. In addition, it provides another attack angle against enemies camping the top of the map
- Thanks to the lasers and vehicles, people are forced to move from the top to the bases. The top center still allows you to control the map, but you will need to move to capture the new lasers
- If the enemy has all of the vehicles/weapons, you still have a chance to get out of their spawncamping. Easy laser access and tripmines within the base give you a great chance to counter the spawn campers

What about Heavies?
1.) Only 2 lasers, and they have a 3 minute spawn. Since it is more of a close-quarters map, it is easier to BR someone before they can charge and fire their laser.
2.) The vehicles have a short life. (typically less than 1 minute, if it even gets away from its spawn) The goal of Isolation Heavies was not to create a vehicle-centric map, but to give players another tool to eliminate the opposition.

Common Questions:
"What about the death ceiling for the Banshee?"
- If you hit the ceiling, you were running away from the battle. Yes, you will die at least once from this, but it does not stop the fun.
"This map is too closed for Warthogs"
- The warthogs were better used as portable turrets. In CTF, they are great for sealing off an entrypoint or covering an attack. This is not standoff, so don't expect total ownage. However, they have their uses, espeically against a banshee.

Here is the quick list of changes:
Removed: Mongoose
Added or adjusted: ghosts x2, warthogs x2, Laser x2, banshee, gravity hammer, turret, plasma pistols x4, teleporter, flare x2, gravity lift, magnums x2, tripmine x2, and several grenades.

I would highly encourage you to download this and try it out in a Free-For-All. You might come to find out that Isolation Can be fun again.
