EDIT: I found that there was a random neutral respawn zone on the map screwing with my Capture the flag games (and probably other gametypes). That has been deleted.

The Maw

Based on the portion of the final level of Halo CE where you have to draw back those three vent covers and blow the core of the Pillar of Autumn. I was playing it in the Anniversary Edition and was impressed with the layout.

I have attempted to create something that will remind you of that sequence... give you that moment of "oh yeah, that level" once you see it.

The bases are mirrors of each other and cosist of multiple levels- 1 underneith where you're likely to spawn. The next is up, raised higher above the floor of the center of the map. The next level is smaller and extends out to the center of the map with three arms, which are a key feature of the map.

The center of the map has a low level floor with a raised center to allow you to advance on foot without necessarily being under fire. Above that are the Power Weapon spawns, intended to be accessed from above. The upper level can be reached via the trio of arms stretching out from each base, or from the side of the map where I have ramps leading up to man-cannons.

Regarding the Power Weapons- the intention is to play the map without Jetpacks. Jetpacks ruin the flow of maps in many instances. I have included 1 Jetpack as a power Weapon. I'm not entirely certain on the list of power weapons, I've included Rockets, Snipes, Grenade Launcher, Sword, and a concussion rifle. So far none have proven overpowering, the difficulty in obtaining mitigating their power.

If you play without Jetpacks, keep in mind that the jumps onto the extending arms and from the arms to the upper level require 125% jump height to work well. You can play without the jump height, but I don't recommend it.

There is a single Ghost in the center, along with 2 mongooses (mongeese?), but those were included mostly to satisfy my 3 boys and their desire to battle over vehicles.

As well, each bases has a Machine Gun Turret at the ground level with limited range of fire.

Pictures!

From the Top Down

Sword Spawns inside the circular porton, rockets above. Man Cannons on either side lead to the upper most walkways.

From the center floor, the middle weapon spawns, blue base is in the background.

Same side of the map as previous picture, but looking at the middle from a different angle. You can also see the Ghost Spawn.

Here's a close up of the middle power weapon spawns. The concussion rifle is seen. The grenade launcher is on the opposite side of the staircase. I turned them on their end and positioned the openings such that from above you can choose which side to fall down to.

A long shot of how the arms from the bases extend to the center upper level.
