Colosseum (A great and authentic Coliseum/Arena remake)

And Yes this is also posted on Casual maps, Its just really its both a remake and a fun slayer map, and i got a few requests to put it in here so I did.

Before you leave this thread without checking it out, thanks to my wall of text, look at the pictures, i guarantee it'll be worth the 30 seconds of your life, and who knows? maybe it might get you to read up on it :] This map also so far has 860 downloads : )

The first thing that hit him, when the large steel gates in front of him rose upward, was the sound. The circular area was packed with what looked like every citizen of the city, and many merchants and traders just arrived in town. When he stepped out of the shadows and into the bright sunlight of the afternoon the wave of noise hit him like a hammer. Every one of the 10,000 that lined the stands was on their feet, stamping, shouting, some just making unrecognizable noises, all the sounds mashed together into a wall of white noise. That all changed when he emerged from the short tunnel and entered the area. On the opposite side another gate, identical to his had risen, and from the dark depths his opponent stepped out. They glanced at one another and their eyes met. Cold and calculating they studied each other, looking for fear, doubt, and cruelty, neither of them had mercy. In that second they locked eyes, the sound changed. From noise it became quiet, then slowly a chant emerged. "Spar-tan" "Spar-tan" "Spar-tan" on and on the crowd chanted, the one word quickly taken up by everyone, the one name of the favorite, the name of a hero, a gladiator, a Spartan...

Hey there, this is my map Coliseum, it has 201 downloads so far : ] Its based on the old Roman Coliseum's, that back then were used for holding chariot races, competitions of the bow, speed, fist fighting, and it was the home of the Gladiators. I watched the movie Gladiator last week, great movie, and decided that with the new resources sandbox provides, i should take a crack at building something like that. So I did, and it wasn't easy, getting it circular and interlocking the stands was hard, but I did it and here it is. Now I'll tell you a bit about the map.

This map is much more of a fun, maybe 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 battle with your friends kind of thing, since it involves a bit of honor and being fair. It also though can be good for competitive 1 vs 1 clan/group type things, since the map is very open it requires skill, no using the map to your advantage except for maybe jumping behind a column to avoid gunfire, but for the most part its just you and your guns. The map has 2 spawn zones, one underground and one in the sky bubble, at both are a small selection of weapons and equipment. Both are neutral spawns, although they can of course just be easily changed for team slayer. This is a slayer only map, its too small for anything else. Anyway now here's a run down of whats on it.

Each spawn zone has the following:

1 sword
1 shotgun
1 sniper
1 bean rifle
1 BR
1 carbine
2 SMG'S
1 plasma rifle
1 plasma pistol
1 mauler
1 needler
1 bruteshot
1 bubble shield
1 power drain
1 re generator
1 flare

Anyway now here's some pic's:

Anyway there you go, that's my map, I hope you enjoy it and also, to get into the stands for if there's spectators, just forge the map quickly and put in a few grav lifts, its pretty easy : ]

Oh and here's the link to the map on Bungie:

Well there you are. Fight like Champions, live like heroes, die like Gladiators. Have fun.
