Created by Irc WindDragon
I'd like to point out that this is my first competitive map, so there will probably be things that don't seem to work out. So far, I haven't found anything that impeded gameplay, but I'll keep working on it.

Story:
A virus has escaped underground facilities into the outside world. With humanity fighting two enemies (Covenant, and the new virus) scientists are stretched thin to work on finding a cure. During transportation flights to an Arctic facility, many aircraft have crashed and been long buried deep underneath snow. Lately, a helicopter making a requested drop-off of supplies, and other equipment needed by the scientists at the Arctic facility came in contact with an unexpected snowstorm which brought down the helicopter, but the crew survived. While hauling the supplies to the facility, a few of the troops were hit with the virus, but no symptoms were shown. After reaching the facility, the troops who were infected showed multiple symptoms and the facility was locked down to keep the virus from spreading to the scientists. The facility was in lock down for years while the scientists were working on the cure. During these years, the virus died off due to the freezing temperature. Without knowing what has happened to the world beyond the facility, scientists and troops succumbed to mental distress and reverted to primative capability.

Now, a team of infiltration units have been sent in to search the facility for any person who hasn't collapsed from the distress of being locked up in the Arctic for years. After making a successful landing outside the facility, the team scours the area to see if the helicopter hasn't been taken over the snow. After reaching the helicopter, the team moves to the facility but is attacked by the scientists and troops. The team has no choice but to defend themselves and try to find any survivors who haven't collapsed or been taken over by the virus.

Red team will spawn with the evac. ship and try to recover the banner that was stolen from the previous team sent to aid the scientists.

Infection: Search out the area for any survivors and make it back to the evac. ship.
Infected scientists/troops will spawn inside the facility and try to infect the infiltration team.
The infiltration team needs to hook up with any survivors and hold out until the evac. ship is ready to go.

Screenshots:

Downed helicopter (partly buried in snow)


Arctic facility (2 turrets for defense)


Inside view of the Arctic facility's entrance (it is well fortified, but not impossible to get into)


Old transport dropship (just what's left after years of snow and wind)


Evac. ship (first and only successful aircraft to touch down on the Arctic plateau)



Weapons are all over the map for attackers and defenders alike. Be weary to use them though, they don't respawn and have almost no ammunition.

Comments:
I'm going to be working on finding out, and fixing anything that doesn't seem to fit into the map. Be sure to expect updates every now and then for add-ons, removal, and other items for not only the map, but the gametypes as well. Not much interlocking was used since most of the scenery was meant to look destroyed and covered in snow.
Please don't post anything that along the lines of "dis map sux. ur teh horribl3 forger"

i like the idea of one time use weapons, it adds originality to your map. 4/5

[Ryan. K.]

Yea I'm doing that right now. I didn't have enough time on the 360 to get all the weapons and such.

[Own3dyoo]

looks wierd
some parts are good but things like the downed helicopter are kinda unessescary
also next time use a smaller font size

[Irc WindDragon]

The font changed when I was adding the weapons/vehicles to the list. It's fine now.
Thanks for the comments guys.
