Hey all, I have seen a few Star Wars AT-AT’s that looked sort of ok but played very badly, just thrown together, so I decided to go all out and recreate the BATTLE OF HOTH, with my main goal being on large vehicle crazy action and a cool looking base that was also functional. I have spent about 20 hours building this getting all the lines clean and lots more time playing it with my friends to iron out the bugs.
It has three plasma turrets, a chopper as a main gun in the head, 4 ghosts set in defensive positions along the body and even a “tie fighter” hangar at the back. It is so sweet as a Rebel running across the snow looking at this thing firing down on you with all guns blazing.
The storm troopers spawn in a sealed cave with a full armory to choose from, teleports give you two choices to access the AT-AT, one sends you to the top floor and the other to the bottom. I deleted some walls so the layout can be seen in the cross section below.
The AT-AT is very well armored so I have beefed up security for the Rebels base as well, including a full spread of weapons, vehicles and shielding. There are three ways to get into the AT-AT from the outside, you can just fly up there, the rear left leg has a man cannon going up inside it to gain access to the bottom level, but my favorite way is to use the massive man cannon near the teleport cave which will send you landing perfectly onto it’s head. There are only two weapons on the map outside of the bases due to running out of forge dollars :( so choose carefully after respawn, a sword through the teleport cave and a missile pod near the Rebels end. Both have been placed so the time to get them is even for both teams. I have found the lack of weapons on map still works well, a minute in and there are guns on the ground everywhere.
I have set this map up for slayer, multi bomb assault and territories. All games are two 6-minute rounds each so both sides get a shot at attacking and defending, PP and BR start. This map does come into its own for 16-player slayer. I have put loads of effort into making and testing this map and the game types so I hope that you enjoy it as much as me and my mates, if so spread it around.
