I made this map with the intention of focusing on Sandbox's "sky box" and utilizing the air combat aspects while still being able to go it "On foot"...so I came up with Base 2 Base (also called "Ship 2 Ship")

:The idea:

Create a decent sized map that one could traverse via aircraft or via the derelict orbital platform...I sorta was inspired by DMT Cairo station for the "on foot" and "in vehicle" action....

:The layout:

Each base has 2 banshees and one transport hornet, the transport hornet has a 20 second respawn (because it was prone to getting raped hard by banshees I turned down its respawn timer) and banshees have 90 second respawn timers.

Inside each base there is:

*4 MA5C ICWS (20 seconds)
*2 BR55HB battle rifles (45)
*2 SMGs (30 seconds)
*2Magnums (30 seconds)
*1 missle pod (90 second respawn)

The "on foot" aspect takes place on a decrepit orbital platform called "Platform Sigma", Sigma has been around for several years and the lack of maintainence has caused the orbital platform to fall apart with some portions exposed and others either falling apart or pieces free floating.

inside Orbital Platform Sigma there is...
*2 shotguns (1 extra clip 45 second respawn, 1 per side)
*2 spikers
*2 plasma rifles
*4 plasma grenades (2 on each side of Orbital platform)
*1 Plasma Pistols (great for taking out hornets carrying flag/bomb guy)
*1 power drain
*4 spike grenades
*1 SPARTAN laser (on a high exposed area of Orbital platform, aquire at own risk)

At the given moment the map is only built for objective gametypes:
*Capture the Flag
*Assault (neutral as well)
*team slayer
*team oddball (yep oddball)

best with:6-16 players

I have only 3 pictures...but they pretty much show the level...bear in mind that this is a vehicle and on foot map...

and yes there ARE ways on top of sigma station...but being THAT exposed to aircraft gun fire isn't a good thing
