Facility 17

This time, I set out to create a map that would have a more "outdoors" type feel (if that's possible in foundry) and this is what came out of my efforts: Facility 17.

It uses all of the (somewhat) recently discovered techniques to create a very aesthetically pleasing environment.

It is a symmetric, competitive map for 4-8 players. In the center back area of foundry, there is a central base that is pivotal in the outcome of the game. Positioned opposite this base is a giant monolithic central structure which houses the sniper hallway and rocket platform. On either side of the central base are twin mini bases, designed to counter or assist the central base. Atop each of these bases sits an active camo. As we move along towards the weapons lockers, there is another small camp where a machine gun turret rests. Then, the actual player base comes into view, revealing another turret.

As much as possible, I've tried to balance this map well. At each turret, there is at least one fusion coil to make it impossible to simply sit on the turret and dominate. Each side gets access to the exact same weapon selection.

There is only one problem with this map, and that is that it currently only supports FFA slayer. This is due to the item maximum that Bungie put in. I can no longer place spawn points, objectives, and the like. If someone would like to do this for me, by deleting things you see fit, please do so, just give me credit for the map itself.

This flaw is extremely disappointing because this map would absolutely shine in team games of all types.

And now, the screenshots:

There is a glitch that allows you to get outside the playable map on this level. I'll leave it to you to find.

Hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to rate and comment!

I laughed as soon as I saw the first sentence of your description. Your right, foundry can never have an outdoors feel. My spartan has gotten pale from playing so many foundry games.

I should go on a vacation to Valhailla and get some sun. :squirrel_giggle:

Anyway, the map looks pretty solid from what I can see.

Yeah I know. It would be nice to have another foundry type map with an outdoor setting and skin set, wouldn't it?
And thanks for the solidness comment.

We should all go to a giant spartan getaway to Valhalla. :D

is there a way to get the warthog, or is it just there for jealous purposes. anyway, nice 'outdoorsy' feel for the map it looks pretty good

[LethalAftermath]

Well, it was originally meant for jealousy purposes, but during testing I noticed a hilarious glitch: you can glitch into the fence box and into the warthog. So yes, you can get into the warthogs, but its pointless. I decided not to fix it because you have to actually try to do it in order to succeed.

And thanks. I tried my best with the drab surroundings, and it worked pretty well.
