Squirrel Yard

Download Map

Hello. Well now that we're friends, let me talk about this map I made. It's called Squirrel Yard due to the several similarities it has to Beaver Creek, a map in halo 2.
There are two bases, they're both small and house-like so they can be jumped up on top of and used as good vantage points. Behind and off to the side of each base, there is another vantage point with a teleporter, like Beaver Creek, that can be used to storm a base from behind.
In between the two sides there is a bridge-like structure (like Beaver Creek) with a single gravlift that can take you up to the main floor of it. A sniper lays there and if you walk to the end of the bridge, there is an easy drop down point with cover. Underneath that is the over shield (like Beaver Creek).
Keep in mind, this is a symmetrical map. The time it takes to get to both flags and bomb points is equal, and there are equal number of jumps on each side that can be utilized. The structures themselves are different though.

[BennyIV]

looks well done. however i think you should put the flags more IN the base and less in the open

I just downloaded Solace Benny. Your a pretty good forger for someone with not a lot of posts.

looks good but too open

[ZANDER1994]

I'm guessing that means your not going to download it? :[

[browniekillyou]

um it looks kinda plain could you add more detail like barrels and fusion coils and pallets? it would make the map loads better

I see you tryed some interlocking in there, but some places look a little messy because you mixed up the objects (EX: Below, the Blue Base). Overall I'm liking the feel of it and you deffinetly just got my download.

Fair, fair. I can take some criticism. I think a lot of people are thinking its open, which I guess it is, but the second picture was taken from the corner of the map to make sure I got that crate in which fills up the corner. If I had taken pictures from the ground it would look more crowded.
There is also A LOT of interlocking. See that whole wall blocking off the map? All interlocked. The bases roofs are interlocked with the walls around them. The bridge is, and so are both vantage points. (Note how one is not quite 2 boxes, yet not 1).
