Sandbox Nyx

ChAoTiC · 04-13-2009

Map Description
This ancient Forerunner power plant used to be quite hazardous, or perhaps it still is. . .

In Greek Mythology, Nyx was the primordial goddess of the night.

However in Halo 3, it is a small-to-medium sized symmetrical map built in the Crypt on Sandbox. I stayed very conservative as far as the weapons are concerned, and this map plays very smoothly with the current setup. I have tested this many times, and its gone through quite a bit since the first test. I've worked very hard in perfecting this one, and I think I got as close as I can get to doing so.

I would like to thank everyone who tested this map (there were a lot of testers for this.) pvilleplaya77 (pvilleforger777 on ForgeHub) for lots of feedback on his part to make this truly great, and I would like to thank Zanitor for moral support while I was making this.

Very original and well planed out. Your forge is near to perfect which I like. I'll check it out even more when I DL it.

I really like this. The weapons were good, and from what I heard the spawns were a much improved over your first version. The ghost was my favorite though, deadly if you were careful, dead if you weren't. Not to mention the amazing aesthetics you made with the tube pieces and other varieties of scenery. All in all this is a map to behold. Great job!

looks very well made. Great use of items, killballs, scenery.
looks like a very good competitive map and deserves a feature!

great map!

I was one of the lucky few to test this map out in it's beta days and I noticed the game play has improved from the first version, which is what I always look for in a map. The map itself is pretty damn good and the forging is top notch.

9.5/10

I hate to leave such a short post, but I only have a quick suggestion:
The map looks really nice, but I'm concerned about the middle. It looks
like a HUGE choke point. I would suggest making it bigger somehow.

The screenshots alone have convinced me to download this. The map looks fantastic, and I really like the idea of the centrepiece. Everything seems cleanly interlocked and well organised.

I definately have to check this out.

You're right, it is. That's the way it was designed, and it plays great just like that. There are still three way to get across to the other side, actually four if you count a very easy trick jump. I can definitely tell you haven't played on it, so please do not criticize the gameplay when you yourself haven't even experienced it for yourself.

As for everyone else, I appreciate the positive feedback and comments. I also hope this map sees more attention, because I myself believe it is up to par with the other Sandbox giants out right now. At least I think so. :D

Thanks for everyone sending me messages on the break using the bubble shield.
Please redownload the map now, because I have updated it to where you cannot break the map anymore. :)
