UNDERKING

Plaza, looking at Blue Base

This will be the first Reach map I'm pushing out, and it took me around 10 hours or so to make - not including the playtesting.

The theme of the map is the hollowed inside of a mountain, and it is best suited for 4v4 conflict or four to six player free for all. The best map to relate this to I suppose would be something reminiscent of Gemini from Halo 2. It is designed to suit both Slayer and CTF variants especially.

One key feature I kept in mind while doing the concept work and while forging was to make each area distinct enough to have its own callout, such as Red Tunnel, Garden, Under Blue, etc. Y'know, for the hardcores.

View from the Garden down to the Plaza ^
The Sword is located in the Garden
(Not pictured: last second edit to extend the Cliff into each Base so the jump is no longer neccessary. Some testers struggled with the jump so it hindered gameplay.)

Nifty spot to catch a breathe and some health

Special thanks to II Tyspartan II, Da Rel Slim Shady, and a bunch of members of the ODST 42nd Recon for the help with testing and kicking my ass on my own map. It helped a ton guys.

So if you're interested, download, and give me any feedback you want, every last bit helps.

Peace,
