Asset: Lost Dunes

Created By Nuvnuv123
To EVERYONE viewing this thread, I have updated the map, and chnaged a few things to make gameplay a little better. Please download the newer version on my file share, in this link below. The asset gametype can be found below too. THank you!

Asset V2 (Gametype Needed):Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details

Map V2: Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details

Changes: I made the covenant spawn wall higher, to prevent being lasered when the covenant enter the map, for fairness

I added some more geomerged cover, hopefully it is better and more fair

took out the turrets on the main base, they were useless. Also took out the sniper rifle in the hornet spawn.

Hornet spawn has changed from 180 seconds, to 120 sec. Also the banshee has a quicker spawn too. The wraith has a spawn at start NO. It spawns at 45 seconds into the gameplay to make the covenant use the grounds, instead of the vehicles.

Hopefully these changes make your time on this map worth the download, I will try my best to update this thread as much as possible. THNX

Story:

As the covenant fleet held its position above the city of New Mombasa, It wasn't long before little but nothing remained of the Orbital Space tether. As this small lake was once teaming with life, it is now dried out only to hold a once functional satellite station. Now it is a stop for the ODST troopers and their VIP Virgil, on their quest to get out of the desolated lakebeds.

Map:

This map is my first of a series of Asset maps. I plan to make a 5 map series on all of the bigger maps. This map is one of my best, partly because I implemented a heck load of ghost merging. The map consists of the satellite station, two smaller bases, one of which the hornet spawns in. The major base has an armory, but houses nothing to fancy, except for the missile pod.

Game play:

The game play is a bit slowly paced, but in the end, it pays of with a victory. Staying with Virgil Is VERY important in order to survive a full round. Here are some pictures of what happens when the ODST get greedy:

You can see Virgil faintly in the background

Here is a dead Virgil, lost in the covenant world without his ODST friends. This is what happens when you ditch your VIP

Each base has a power weapon. The main base has a laser, the base to the right of the main base has a rocket, and the base to the left has a sniper with low ammo.

Here is the Map:

This is the brute spawn after they are killed in a room with a killball ;)

The Brutes gear up for battle

Brute's teleported to map and vehicles

Here the Main base, the y-intersection tube is the armory. The ODST and Virgil spawn behind it.

This is the base where the hornet spawns. Again, to get here means to stick with your VIP. The aesthetics may look odd, but it works during the game play. They provide more cover fr the covenant, as well as the ODST and Virgil.

I would like to thank ALL of the testers. You know who you are. Without you guys, this map wouldn't have been able to be finished, even biult in the first place. I also would like to thank Rifte Gifle for making such a brilliant gametype! Thanks!

Screenshots in post below! Thank you!

Screen Shots:

Sorry for the Wierd Screen shots. If you felt they were lacking in gameplay, it is because the ones that had better scenes did not upload properly to photobucket and got deleted. I will have some more sufficient screenshots up later. Please bare with me. =(
