Terminus by Wraith2098 Halo Reach Map - YouTube

Terminus. This is my latest map for Reach, a symmetrical 8v8 Big Team Battle map. Terminus is set up for Slayer, Capture the Flag, Assault, Territories, King of the Hill, and Stockpile. All game types have been tested several times over the few months of map design and I would say Capture the Flag, Slayer, and Territories are my most recommended.

I designed Terminus specifically for the matchmaking Big Team Battle playlist. I know it will likely never be on that playlist, but I play Big Team Battle 90% of the time I'm on the playlists so I wanted to take a shot at making my own Big Team map. I spent a great deal of time getting the map tested and tweaking it in any little way I had to in order to ensure a flawless gameplay with 16 people and I feel I've captured that to the best of my ability.

Terminus has several power weapons to choose from as shown below,

Other weapons include:
Designated Marksmen Rifle - 3
Assault Rifle - 5
Grenade Launcher - 2
Magnum - 6
Rocket Launcher - 1
Shotgun - 2
Sniper Rifle - 2
Mounted Machine Gun - 4

Concussion Rifle - 2
Energy Sword - 1
Fuel Rod Gun - 1
Needle Rifle - 3
Needler - 3
Plasma Pistol - 7
Plasma Repeater - 4

There are several routes to take on the center structure.
- Teleport from the main bases to the bottom floor.
- Walk the top side of the rock tunnel near the cave.
- Walk up the rocks on the cliff side.
- Take the Man Cannon to the top.
- Take the Gravity Latters on either side of the second level to the top.
- Walk along the cliff side.
- Jetpack!

Although it may look like it, this building has no extra advantage for either team. There is little line of sight, no power weapons, and is just as advantages for the red team as it is the blue. You are not able to jetpack onto any area with out a soft kill in the way although there is a special surprise located on this structure...

There is a health pack and a few secondary weapons to choose from on either side of the building. There is also a Gravity latter located on the front deck for easy access.

The main bases of Terminus are inspired by the basic layout of other Bungie maps. It is a bit of a combination of Hemorrhage and Paradiso. On the bases are a DMR, an Assault Rifle, a Needle Rifle, and a Needler. Heading towards the Falcon you'll see the Sniper Rifle as displayed in the weapons picture. On the Falcon level you will also see a Grenade Launcher and a Plasma Repeater along with two grenades. Inside of the base you will find two Plasma Pistols, two Magnums, a Health Pack, and a handy gravity lift that will take you to the top of the base.

The Teleporters are set to asymmetrical so you will not see them showing up on Capture the Flag, Assault, or any other symmetrical gametypes.

The cave is a little used area other than an alternative route. However, there is a Sword located in the water area of the cave and there is also a territory in the water area. The cave does come in handy on objective gametypes as people will rarely see you heading that direction.

And a few extra action shots for your viewing pleasure...
