UNSC Dawn Under Heaven

____________
Background:
____________

Over the canyon floats a mighty Halcyon cruiser named "Dawn Under Heaven", the sister ship of the popular "Pillar Of Autumn". Reparing the damages on the hull that where taken in the battle for Arcadia, the Dawn is not fighting in space for the moment.

Covenant scouts reported this to their leaders and they decided to send out a special team of elites to take advantage of the moment. Their task is to take out the engines, so the Dawn isnt able to escape anymore. Then they must gain access to the bridge and finally blow it up.

But the spartans on the Dawn will give their best to prevent this!!!

Map Information:
________________

I worked quiet long, but finally its finished: The Dawn Under Heaven is the sequel of the "Pillar of Autumn v.2". So you could call this map also "PoA v.3".

The map is designed for Invasion, BTB, Slayer, Teamslayer and Infection/Safe Havens. The invasion gametype has its focus on air combat (outside) and close quarter combat (inside), while the other gametypes will take the battle only inside the Dawn.

Please take a look on the aesthetics of the map as well, as i spend a lot of time for them. I worked long to give the map the best gamebalance i could, but if you play the map with some friends and you notice some hints that give one team a really unfair advantage, please report to me !!!

Pictures:

rocket launcher action !!!!

New hangar design. You can get into the falcon from below, by jumping to the cockpit and pressing the x-button!

Briefing room or conference room, with hologram.

Acces to the engine rooms from the hangars second level.

Be careful with your equipment, not everything will respawn in invasion. Just like in real life.

Your mighty rocket launch pad!!! You can get there from the gunnery station.

Theres now a mess hall. You should try the chilli con carne, just delicious...

HINT: This will be very useful for invasion: You can get from the engine rooms to the fusion core and the server room, but you need a jetpack.

________
Invasion
________

As invasion is the most important gametype for this map, I'll give you now some more detailed information:

This is not the invasion gameplay that you're used to. The different sides play now very different. The elites spawn in the cave with 8 Banshees and try to enter the Dawn and take out the engines by conquering them. The spartans spawn in the gunnery deck and defense, but be carefull. The tank and the Warthog wont respawn just like the rocket in the armory, so be carefull with your equipment!!! This map focuses a lot more on air combat, so get in your falcon soldier and defend this ship!
A second very important difference to the usual invasion is the fact, that the loadouts are not the same. Spartans have more conventionel powers like armor lock, sprint, and bubble shield, while the elites have the armor abilities of a real spec-ops team. They use the jetpack, evade and active camo. You have to use your abilities to your advantage !!!

Where elites spawn...

Enter the Dawn !!!

1st phase: These are the two points in the engine room, that have to be conquered.

2nd phase: Now the elites try to hack the server rooms or to short-circuit the energy source (fusion core) to gain access to the bridge. Elites spawn now in the hangar and have many ways to get to the objectives.

The bomb will spawn in the hangar, that is now controlled by the elites. You have to plant it on the bridge.

This is the bridge. ou should notice the AI pad... Plant the bomb and get out of here !!!

When the bomb explodes, half of the ship will be destroyed. "Elites win!"
