Sacrifice on Lava Pit
2-16 players. But, it is recommended to have at least 5 players. Also, 16 players can get very hectic.

Hello, and welcome to my very first ForgeHub Map post!

You may remember 'Lava Pit' from that Halo 3 classic of the same name. For the hell of it, I added ''. No, my map really isn't in HD, I just named it like that in order to get more downloads.

If you haven't played this map in Halo 3, then let me explain it to you. This game is like Monster Trucks. The name of the game suggests that this map is built around a pit - a pit of the lava sort.

Careful around the middle!

There are seven rounds, and each round is seven minutes long. At the start of every round, you will spawn next to either a Mongoose, a Ghost, or a Warthog, and there are eight of each vehicle. Get in the vehicles and push your friends to their deaths!

Watch out for the falls - they are pretty deadly!

Also, all players have certain player traits, which are as follows:

Starting Weapon: Magnum
Lives: Seven (7)
Shields: 3x Overshields
Damage Modifier: 75%
Player Speed: 75%
Armor Ability: Evade
AA Use: Unlimited
Weapon Ammo: Unlimited

As well, every death counts as -1. Kills don't count as points, so the only way to have the most points is to have less negative points than your friends. If you lose all seven lives before the time limit of seven minutes is up, you will have to sit it out.

If you are careless enough to lose all seven lives, you will have to sit it out.

There are, however, certain ways to escape dying. On every side of the map is a Man Cannon. In order to get to them, you must either drive your vehicle onto one, or jump at the edge of the platform. If you jump on them without a vehicle, you will be blasted in the direction of the lava pit, and your life will be spared. If you drive into one, the man cannon will blast you directly into the lava pit, and you either have to get out and risk being run over, or stay in and perish.

The man cannon - a friend, if used correctly; a foe, if taken advantage of.

In every corner of the map lies a single Plasma Grenade, which re-spawns every 180 seconds, and is not available at the start. If you stick a player who is near the edge, they are more than likely to fall off - and yell into their headset.

It may be small, but it packs a punch.

Enough of my talk. Here are some action shots:

A little bit of what to expect after a game-start rush.

Something your insurance probably won't cover.

Ouch, now that will definitely be felt in the morning.

Double hijackings.

Two new vehicles - the Invisible Ghost and the Civilian Warthog.

Make sure to avoid gang-fights at all costs!

"Hey! That's my car!"

"Man, I hate my job..."

Doctor, Doctor! This mysterious blue light appeared on my ding-dong!

Well, there is my map. In case you missed the download links, here they are:

"AHH! GET THEM OFF ME!"

Oh, by the way. Please use constructive criticism, as this is one of the first maps I have built on Halo Reach. Thanks.

EDIT: I am currently in the works of getting version 1.2.1 of this map finished. A lot of changes will be included in order to give the best possible version of this map.
