A Bridge Too Far

[ezekeil20five17]

SUSPENSION BRIDGE OBJECTIVE MAP WITH DESTRUCTABLE SECTIONS SET UP FOR ALL GAMETYPES ASSAULT CTF CONQUEST RECOMMENDED


GET OUT OF FOUNDRY AND PLAY A BRIDGE TOO FAR!!!!!!
A while ago I saw this map a great idea but poorly implemented it had no combat??!!So with the creators permission{who hasn't been here since august}I redisgned it to the map you see here and boy am I glad I did because A Bridge Too Far{BTF}is one of the finest maps I have built.Check out the pics{video on the way}play it and you will agree

BTF,unlike most forged map is designed to work as a natural exstention to standoff not replace it.The map is setup for all gametypes but it really comes to life while playing CTF and CONQUEST.

The bridge allows for blitzkreg style vechile raids on the bases so to counter this this middle section is exsplovsive,there are different ways to detonate this some will surpirse you some will confuse you but it can be completety destroyed from a single attack.This will stop vechiles{all of them} but not infantry.

In keeping with the desrtuctable theme the "suspension cables" can also be taken out to prevent the enemy taking the high ground and getting the laser.

As for the weapons,vechiles and equipment the weapons have almost remained the same but are in different locations,the turrets have been lowered to allow them to hit the ground and some of the bridge,

sniper rifles and a flamethrower have been added.The rocket launcher remains in the same place but there is an angled mancannon next to it to allow Avalanche-esque high rocket shots and a high drop onto the bridge

Power drains{i wonder where you are supposed to use them?}and bubbles are at either end of the bridge and there are grav lifts near the larger rocks which can be used to access the bridge.

Vechiles can be driven on to the bridge{just remember slow is smooth smooth is fast}using the Valhalla-esque mancannon atop either base this is also where the objectives points are to prevent camping.Choppers have been added to encourage use of the bridge but theres a catch,to get them you must oper the tunnel into your base.

Each base also have a couple of anti camp shield doors that have either been raised or lowered to allow grenades through.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO READ THAT THANKS AND HERES PICs
OVERVEIW


BASES-SYMMETRICAL STARING POINT WEAPONS SHOTGUN SNIPER AND BATTLE RIFLES FIREBOMB WIRE SPOOL{think about it}





CENTER SECTION-BE CAREFULL



AFTER DETONATION-use the barrel

TOP OF CABLES-EARN YOUR LASER

ROCKET MANCANNON COMBO-another way onto the bridge theres 6 in total jump into lifts/cannon for best results

CORRIDORS-Designed to create choke points

TERROTIES-1 ON EACH BASE AND ENDS OF THE BASE The final area is the destructable center peice which if protected will help if its detonated it will be a lot harder to capture


ACTION JACKSON




THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LAND FROM THE CENTER DETONATION-PAINFUL

F@£K FOUNDRY I know that it has to be used for certain things but it is far from the only choice seriuosly I can't even look at the greens browns and greys anymore this site will have to change its name to FOUNDRYHUB.COM but thats just me I have a lot of respect for people that can

Halo is a truly beutiful game and so much of the forge scene is devoted to the most visually boring map

I am planning to do something to change this but i don't think there is any point any intrest,ideas let me know

Hopefully sandbox will have a better look but i somehow doubt it

Thank you and others for the comments and yes it is a innovative cool map play it and you will agree

Ahhh, based off the infamous stand off at The Nijmegan Bridge during WWII Operation Market Garden.....

Seems interesting, Im not sure about the gameplay though. I guess ill find out....

spot on mate + rep for you I think Bothers in Arms-Hells Highway is also based on operation market garden never liked the other ones but this one look rather accurate and very very pretty

the game play is great its like the bastard offspring of vallhala standoff and longest{from halo ce}

And a standoff on standoff I can't believe that didn't occour to me until now

it looks really fun to play on and made really well, but since you cant just drive the vehicles onto the bridge is a huge negative.

This is why i don't usally post maps without a video its easy and can be done perfectly once you know how i spent a lot of time making sure that you could get the vechiles on the bridge but it requires skill

Also if you can think of a way to do it let me know bear mind the item limits on standoff

the video is on the way just waiting on gamevee

i made it for you, thought it might help you out, instead of you having to click the link HERE to watch it on gamevee

and BTW i like your map, although i think it should be moved into casual or mini-game

but definetely casual...
