Dereliction

Okay- so Derelict was one of my favorite maps from the original Halo. I liked some parts of the remake for Halo 2 (Desolation), but not all. This map is a combination of the best parts of both maps.

I kept the base tunnels connecting the upper and lower level, but also brought back the teleporters.

Most weapon spawn points are the same, although I changed a few. I put the overshield back in the upper middle, and included the active camo. I also put the sniper rifle back up top.

You will find, that overall, I went with the layouts of the original more than not- although I think I balanced the two fairly well. Once again however- I hit the item limit (even with a prepped canvas in the crypt)- so I had to delete a few things that were purely aesthetic (structures similar to Desolation).

It is set up for ALL GAMETYPES, though it works best for Slayer and Team Slayer with teams of 3-4 people.

Weapons:
6 Battle Rifle
2 Plasma Rifles
2 shotguns
1 Rocket Launcher
1 Needler
1 Brute Shot
12 plasma granades
2 Frag grenades

Equipment:
1 overshield
1 active camo

I spent A LOT of time on this one really trying to nail the key points. The hovering walls above some upper levels is to prevent jumping out of the map. (For some reason- after running out of money- it still allowed me to use single walls)

Anyway- hope those of you that liked Derelict/Desolation on the previous games enjoy this one. Let me know what you think!
