"Lethbridge industrial applauds you for helping Auriga Station stay 117 days accident free"

Overview

Encompass is a symmetrical 1v1 map designed to be a fantastic way to test your magnum skills and gun down you're friends and rivals in the most personal of all arenas. Drawing inspiration from classic arena style maps like warlock it will bring forth fond memories of the halo 2 days. If that's not your gig it's plays well as a small FFA map and can be used as a more casual 2v2 map.

Layout

As mentioned Encompass proves to show a strong resemblance to warlock but when I originally glitched out of Torque and started building it was supposed to be a mini version of Torque basically. There are obvious similarities in the general layout but half way thru the build it started to take a life of its own and i made whatever changes I thought would benefit the gameplay. The sightlines are long and the center structure boasts some good CQC skirmishes. It's a blast!

Aesthetics

The plan was to make it look like torque or at least a part of Auriga Station. Overall there were some changes made to compensate for a high concentration of objects towards the middle. I had to use less lighting and decals than I originally intended. But for the most part the vibe of the map is still strong. Torque' s unique decor shines thru onto Encompass and it feels right at home in the halo universe

Weapons

As always the weapons listed will be subject to change but this map is less about contesting weapons and more about finding your comfort range and blasting away.

2 gunfighter magnums (1 spare clip each)

2 BRs (1 spare clip each)

2 silenced Assault rifles (1 spare clip each)

1 Storm rifle (45 second respawn)

2 frags

4 plasma grenades

The storm rifle is strooooong on this map hence the longer respawn time. But there's not to many hidey holes so just keep a distance and get headshots!

Thanks, enjoy!!!
