Elegy is a small map made specifically for 2v2 or 2-5 player FFA slayer/oddball. The map's main feature is that it is totally enclosed, and includes a roof. About half of the map's floor is elevated, made out of walls and boxes. In almost every corner of the map, you will find another ledge, pathway, or hiding spot to use to your advantage. I've personally found that this makes Elegy great for games such as tag, parasites, shark and minnows or hide n' seek with smaller parties. I've made a hide n' seek gametype for you guys below, but because the other gametypes use honor rules (and take up slots on my FS), I will not be posting them or those versions of the map.

Hide n' Seek
Bungie.net : Bungie Online : Halo 3 File Details
Self Explanatory. You hide, the zombie looks for you. You have camo and a plasma pistol, he has invulnerability and a shotgun.
Kill a human=+1
Kill the juggernaut=-10
Last man standing= +10

Now for the pics.


Note the roof. The main feature of the map. Took FOREVER!


Inspired by some James Bond map. Snowblind or something like that.


Great place to catch people off guard.


Me owning.


Strategic cover. And an epitaph like walkway.

There is a back hallway here's the intersection.

And here's the hallway. You can drop down through the hole in pic three to get down here. Just like lockout's green room.

Inspired by Ivory Tower's stairway.

Thanks to all that helped me test it and thanks for checking out my map. I was going to post a video, but unfortunately, the guy who was going to make it got the red ring of death. Oh well. Here's the download link.

this is really good. i love it when people make enclosed maps, it makes the map feel more original. the aesthetics are also good and it looks appealing.

I doubt I will EVER do it again though. Enclosed maps are the hardest to make. I mean it's amazing just how many cracks, mass interlocking, and object conservation have to be watched.

Very nice enclosed map. I'm interested in maps that give you a different feeling, an atmosphere that says "I'm not even in Foundry". You did a good job with that. The halls all seem to be quite unique and there's like different paths leading everywhere. I like how you have a mixture of different map inspirations. Good job and I'm ever so proud of you :)

This looks really cool, I love all the elements you added (were inspired by) on here, really brings out the best int he gameplay. I'll check it out and get back to you.

I have no idea why you would call it Elegy, but I don't care!

Well, the name was actually pretty well thought out. The hole in pic three reminded me of the hole in Jeepers Creepers. You know, the one the creature stuffed it's victims down. From there I wrote the description for the map. Below.

"This building was once used by a cannibalistic serial killer to store bodies. Creepy eh?"

Then I went to some website to find synonyms of mourning and found this on wikipedia.

The term "elegy" was originally used for a type of poetic meter (Elegiac metre), but is also used for a poem of mourning, from the Greek elegeia (derived from elegos), a reflection on the death of someone or on a sorrow generally - which is a form of lyric poetry. An elegy can also reflect on something which seems strange or mysterious to the author. In addition, an elegy (sometimes spelled elegíe) may be a type of musical work, usually in a sad and somber attitude. It is not to be confused with a eulogy.

Map looks great. Of course already knew that. Hey once again sorrow about the video. I'll make it up...whenever my xbox gets back.

Very nice Zander, I believe I played on this with you and Goatnuts maybe a month ago glad to see it posted...well now onto what I like and don't like.

Likes: What I really liked about the map was the it was a small map yet it made it feel bigger because of all the ways you to could travel. This map only had maybe one bad spawn spot but I assume you have fixed that over the time. I also liked how you had the line of sight cut off at certain points so you couldn't just get spawn naded or shot.

Dislikes: I think the only thing I didn't like was the fact that it was a little frustrating moving around the map considering the main spot I kept wanting to go was blocked off by some window panels, but they were for the better as they made the map feel bigger.

Ha, electronic legos...

Anyways, map looks great but I just now downloaded it and can't really tell you much about it. When ever you put out a map it seems to always have good gameplay, hopefully this one will too.
