Maintenance Hall

Maintenance Hall

I remade, well recreated I guess is more appropriate, another map from my Halo 3 forging collection. This one I actually put more thought into the setting of it as well.

Welcome to the Maintenance Hall, the Forerunner facility responsible for the upkeep and functionality of the virtual realm known as "Forge World." As you may guess the story of this map is that of a monitor room that overkeeps a virtual world. This is represented by a Holodeck on the bottom floor that overlooks the Paradiso island(Pics below). It's a three story map built symmetrically for Red and Blue Teams, and supports FFA groups.

There are four one-way drop holes that connect the middle floor down to the bottom floor and house the main power weapons of the map causing any player who wants the weapon to have to drop down to the bottom floor to get it. The holes are made so you can only pick up the weapon from dropping down the hole and not from just walking around the bottom floor unless you have jetpack.

The red team has the advantage in getting the sniper rilfe and shotgun while the blue team has the advantage in getting the rocket launcher and energy sword. I did this cause I felt that with the map overall layout the rockets had higher efficiency than the sniper so I gave what I felt the stronger of the two close range weapons, the shotgun, to the team with the sniper.

Me and a friend of mine were also messing around with one-way shields the other day and discovered a cool trick to do with them. My friend coined it head tram and it works by simply jumping on the ceiling of the "head tram" space and riding along the ceiling to you designation. It's kinda hard to explain but is quite fun to use.
