Quantic

Created by Harmonic Bliss

Map Description
Quantic's layout is composed of three lanes with symmetrical basses. Basis. Bases. Baaayyysez. The middle lane includes red and blue bases caged off on opposite ends connected by an electrical current buzzing below the 5 lightbridges that cross the deadly divide. The half sphere cage enclosing each base can be opened from the top mid lightbridge and closed from within each respective base. Outside area has a lot of cool looking aesthetic garbage and neat little water fountains with floating fishies that are actually grav lifts. Also, there's a spaced out pyramid in the middle inside of which sniper spawns beneath a breakable barrier in the floor. Other side has some fancy lookin curved stair case up top and a slide to the bottom. Grenade launcher spawns within a container at the bottom that must be broken open to access. The idea with this and sniper is to require an additional nade, lots of bullets, or time (and your physical force of choice) in order to access the power weapons, making the very first rush of the game more challenging. Invis spawns in a hovering, open, and vulnerable room accessible only over a death defying jump or teleporter from the opposite side of the map. Oh, also there's windows at the bottom of each outer lane that make for really cool firefights across the lightning struck, camera shaking, electrical current in middle lane. And the top lightbridge in front of each base (arguably the two strongest power positions on the map) can be deactivated with a single shot to its glowing light core. The shot causes an explosion at the core that despawns the lightbridge (but not the support beams). When triggered it deals damage that could potentially be lethal to a weakened player standing too close to the site of the explosion.

In summation, I've lurked Forgehub since Forge became a thing in Halo 3 and this is the first time I've felt confident enough to make a complete actual map post. I think this map is good and fun. Hopefully you will too. All feedback, comments, questions, insights, thoughts, feelings, whatever, are welcomed. Huge thanks to everyone on my friends list that helped test and in particular to BodeyBode, Stunt Artist, and the 222s for giving very honest, knowledgeable, and constructive criticism on my earlier methods. Pastaraptor for finding absolutely every possible exploitable area of the map. Even when I already thought my map was fullproof. Xx the end xX for help with scripting, aesthetics, and the design of the sphere cage switches. The entire forge community has been a big help as well. I've jumped in the chat room at all hours of the night asking for help and tips and more often then not someone is on and offering advice. Any tips and/or advice and/or information on how to get this map considered for matchmaking is appreciated.
