SHOCKOUT

"Overlooking a chilling waterfall, some believe this station was used to study Flood. Its past remains unknown. 2-6 players."

Yo, I'm Kermit and this is Shockout. (clever name, no?)

This is a medium sized Slayer map best suited for 2v.2's, but up to six players can work too. This version currently only supports Slayer and Team Slayer but that will change very soon. It is obviously inspired by Lockout, Guardian and a little bit of The Cage. But when I say inspired, I really mean inspired. This is in no way a remake. It has its own unique layout. It also takes the best of Guardian, Lockout and The Cage and blends them together, naturally. I tried very hard too make this look "Bungie" official, as if it came with the game. I also tried to get rid of the "sea of grey" effect. Look for lots of yellow, but no lights. This map is very different in its current form then it was 3 months ago. This map was originally named "Rockdirt" and was a direct remake of Lockout. But then I realized that there is too many of those. So I went back and deleted most of the map, and basically started over. After 3 months of working, I think I can finally say I have got it right. The unique blend of Lockout, Guardian, The Cage and original design really make for a great map. There are things that I think need improvement though. Like the DMR Tower, I don't think the one way-ness of iit is all that hot. Oh well this is version 1. I also made the map look pretty :)

Here is the weapons list:

AR- x3
DMR-x4
Grenade Launcher-x1
Shotty-x1
Sniper-x1
Concussion-x1
Energy Sword-x1
Needle Rifle-x3
Needler-x1
Plasma Pistol-x1
Spiker-x1
Plasma Grenades-x4

I chose these weapons with very specific needs in mind. For example, I put a Concussion to counter act the sword. The Spiker was just put in here because...I love the Spiker.

EDIT: ^The map isn't tilted or off centred like that picture, thats just my sloppy theater picture making skills.

So, there you have it, Shockout. A mix of my most beloved maps from Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo Reach. Also note this is my first "professional" map, so comments, questions, critics and concerns are all welcome.

Thanks,
