The Aleatorio Map Pack

Aleatorio Map Pack

Aleatorio is the spanish word for Random. Now why would I call my maps random? I'll explain with each map. These are my first three forges ever and I will go in the order that they were made. First up House of Boom.

House of Boom

House of Boom is my first forge map and its located on Blackout. It doesn't use any special techniques other than placing objects in places that I think would make game play fun on the map. This new Blackout map is named House of Boom for one reason. Fusion Coils and lots of them. There aren't any falling fusion coils, but they are placed in clusters in spots where if you have a sniper rifle and you are in one of the two main sniper spots then you can cause a random explosion to kill someone walking through the cluster. A bunch of doors are blocked off to change the flow of regular Blackout game play. The bottom area where the shotgun usually is has the doorway to the lift blocked off to make a hallway where the rocket launcher is located. The top of the BR tower has been blocked off so there is only one way up there, a mancannon from where the sniper rifle usually spawns. There is one thing about the map that may look like somethings wrong but there isn't. The bottom part of the center of the map is blocked of by energy shields so you can't shoot through them but the gaps are big enough to throw grenades in so you can set off the fusion coils. House of Boom plays best as two team slayer or FFA slayer.

The man cannon to the sniping point.

The next two maps are random because I just randomly named them because I couldn't think of names.

Jokers are Wild

Jokers Are Wild is my second forge and first on Foundry. It is a Slayer map with two bases and a Y-shaped hallway with a small close quarters room at the intersection. There is a way onto the roof of the hallway. In the roof is a triangular hole right in front of the barrier that you can throw grenades down. Invisibility is also placed up there along with a couple BR's and a beam rifle. In small FFA slayer games most of the action took place in the hall or on top of it. Each base has a "secret" area that has a strong weapon and a teleporter. One teleports you to a floating cage in the back center of the map with a sniper rifle, and the other one teleports you to an armory with a shotgun and a needler. The two bases are connected by a long bridge that has a barrier separating the two sides, a pair of spikers, and a pair of SMG's. On this map you really have to watch your back especially in FFA. Jokers are wild can be played with up to 4 teams in team slayer or FFA.

Burnt Cheese

Burnt Cheese is my third and latest forge and the one I am most proud of. Burnt Cheese is a fairly symmetrical slayer map. By fairly symmetrical I mean a few things are a bit off in their placement but they are essentially in the same places on each side. Also the secret areas on each side are different each with its own weapon. The entrances to the secret areas are both hidden in the middle of the map. One secret area contains Rockets and a radar jammer along with assorted grenades while the other secret area contains a Sniper Rifle and a flare. It also comes with assorted grenades. Now, unlike in Jokers are Wild, the entrances are not easily found. If you want to know where the entrances to the secret areas are read on. If not skip to the next paragraph now. Secrets are revealed after this sentence. Ok, go into the sword base and scoot back until you can see the energy shield and the walls to its left and right. Ok walk into the middle of the wall on the left to go to the rocket area. Do the same thing to the wall on the right to go to the sniper area. Now that is how to get to the secret areas.

No Secrets Revealed Beyond this point.

This map plays well in slayer. At the moment it is also set up for oddball matches with the oddball spawning in one of the secret areas. In team slayer up to 4 teams is best with 2 or 3 people per team or 4 per team if there is less than 4 teams. In FFA slayer I would say 8 people at the most, but you probably only want six. Anyway onto the pictures.

Overview... one thing wrong with this picture is that the A side of the bridge is missing its wall, I had accidentally deleted it before the picture but its there in the map

Another overview

This is the location of the shotgun. The area is kind of like that spot in the original foundry

I'd like to thank you all for checking out my maps. Please download each one and please leave feedback either here or on bungie.net. Thanks again and happy forging.

Well I was home alone and it was around lunch time so I decided to make myself a Grilled Cheese for lunch. Well between working on my map and listening to the new Weezer cd I had forgotten that I was making a Grilled Cheese. Once I had remembered the sandwich, it was a little to late. I took out the grilled part and basically named the map I had been working on after the event.

Actually, this is pretty much the story that I expected. I said to myself "Self, he must have burnt something cheesy while making this map".

Well thanks for the honesty. Im just wondering to help me with my future forges what kind of work. Concept, asthetics, what?

Swifty2400 · 06-04-2008

ok the maps look sloppy so on my next map I know to make things look better. Now can I get feedback on the gameplay of the maps because I feel that is more important than looks in a slayer map
