EPISTROPHE
(by n1n3CAL and UPG Uzumaki)

After the Covenant took over this human power facility, it was turned into an enemy base against the human race. 4-8 players

Overview 1

Well I'm back everyone with yet another map. This one is called Epistrophe (eh pis trauf ee). It is a map inspired in a way by Colossus but nothing like it entirely. It's background story is stated in the details. It was originally a human power facility. But as a tactical war manuever, the Covenant not only eliminated the human power supply, but turned it to a base. So in case you don't know, there will be very few human weapons. Here's the weapon list:

2 Battle Rifles
4 Carbines
4 Plasma Rifles
1 Beam Rifle
1 Plasma Pistol
1 Spartan Laser
1 Flamethrower
1 Needler
1 Plasma Cannon
2 Spike Grenades
2 Plasma Grenades

Despite what many of you may think by looking at the list, this set up is pretty well balanced and works well in gameplay. And keep in mind, when this map was made, some boxes represent structures and some represent well...boxes.

Overview 2

So there are two main specific structures that signify the map: the giant cannon and the archway. The archway is one of the highest points on the map for sniping and the cannon makes for great escapes or jumping into battle. Another feature that seperates this map from my previous is that it incorporates a vehicle (hence the spartan laser).

Cannon

Archway

The cannon is accessed by going under it and simply jumping. This is demonstrated in an action shot that will be further along in the thread. Though you can barely see it in the bottom right hand corner of the archway picture, there is a small shielded off box area where the flamethrower spawns. The spartan laser spawns closer to the defenders as the beam rifle to the attackers. It is the central power weapon of the map. Ghost is pretty much central as well.

This map has been my work for the past two weeks. My friend UPG Uzumaki came in and helped me finish up, place spawns and weapons,a nd contributed in almost everyway so I cannot take full credit for this map. This map is set up for slayer, flag, and bomb varients only. Recommended players are the usual 4-8. Don't forget to rate and comment preferably on both the B.net and here. Thank you for taking your time to review the thread. Hope you download.
