Sandbox coliseum & coliseum-nades

Coliseum, And Coliseum-Nades
Created by chung wii

This is my third and forth map to be posted on forgehub so any constructive criticism would help. =)

Coliseum

Supported Gametypes
Slayer
Oddball
KOTH
CTF
(Great for BR's, no matter what gametype.)

Design/layout
It is a Symmetrical 2v2 map, That has many tactical options. The "small corners" are great for BR battles... you can throw grenades off of the wall, You can jump on to the corner and surprise the player on the other end, And more.

The "sword bowl" in the center of the map is good for bubble shield placement, And is the spawn of the oddball and locations of Hill.

Gameplay
Great for BR's, no matter what gametype. Spawns are effective, And work correctly. The layout is simple and easy to maneuver around. Weapon placement is spread out, And Weapon power is limited.

Weapons on map...
Sword (60) The sword sounds too overpowering, But actually it is very balanced and Isn't overpowering when playing BR's.

4 BR, 2 clip (40)

4 SMG (40)

(I know that sounds like a small weapons amount, But keep in mind this is a 1v1, And 2v2 map, So not many weapons are needed.

Coliseum-Nades

Gametype

Grenadiator (REQUIRED!!!)
[Grenade+gladiator=Grenadiator] LOL

Design/layout
It is a symmetrical milti team map, Which fits the gametype "grenadiators". The only main changes are...

Magnum/plasma pistol (starting weps.)
Regular shields
Grenade regeneration
Infinite ammo

And that's all. It sounds boring but is a bundle of fun!

Gameplay
Fits gametype grenadiators. "What that is that gametype?" You might ask yourself??? Well, It is suitable for those fans of grenades. It basically is a grenade war in the middle of a coliseum.

Weapons
None

Video's of both maps

(I spent HOURS trying to get these to work and a whole lot more editing, Capture card problems, And... URG! just be thankfull that I tried, and Spen hours for you guys! thanks. =)

That's all folks. I hope you liked these 2 maps And I hope to make more in the future. (any tips on the v2 would help, And Don't tell em how much I suck at halo cuz I know i do. lol) Happy forging!

This is definitely one of the best colosseum maps ever! and one of teh first on sandbox. The aesthetics are great on both, but i would recommend on the first one is that the sword pit should have ramps to lead up to it so that you wouldn't have to jump, but thats jsut my opinion. It looks like a load of fun and am queing it now. Im gonna give it a 4/5 based on overall amazingness!

1ST POST YAY, i watched the first video and it seems like a well made map, my only concern was at one point near the begginging the dude throws a nade and it goes under the double wedge ... this could prove annoying and wouldnt take 30 mins to sort, just use double walls on the very bottom of the blocks in literally the exact same place and this prevents nades from getting trapped becase the walls are perfecrlty straigh whereas the blocks often have inperfactions ... also only a small point but ... my god find a better player to showcase your map as you want someone showing you all the tactical advances to the map - jumps etc ... not just someone who cant BR for shit and moves round the map in the same way all the time ... it got boring ...
other than that a nice looking map a V.2 with fixed problems will definatly get a spot in my cue ... nice one

Um I think the pics are to big because you have to scroll back and forth just to see one. Anyway to the map, there is a lot of cover for you but, this has been done many times before (no offense but some are better looking). The wall for the orbs I think should have been a wall instead of the wood, just to make it a little better looking. Overall it's an okay map the rating for me (with out playing on it) is 3/5.

Blood of the Fallen · 05-04-2009

Yeah the player sucks, like badly, but the map isent bad. its not really a coliseum though, its more an arena.

chung_wii · 05-05-2009

MAP MAKER, What double wedged are you talking about? And That was me playing (FYI) and I know I'm not very good, you don't have to shove it in my face... i already stated that I wasn't amazing. It isn't a post for showing off my playing ability, its a post for my map... And if you are judging a map by the player playing on it, Then that is truly sad... Thank you ShortKidPena For your kindness. (lol) But Ix Massacre xxI, Idk what you are saying about the pictures because they are perfect size for my browser. Unless you are talking about when you click on it to resize it... but idk. Blood of the Fallen, Yeah I know I'm bad as said above... Thank you guys for positive feedback! Let me know if you guys see more problems. And I'd appreciate if you guys would play a 1v1 or 2v2 on it, And then leave me a reply telling me how the game went... I'd appreciate it.

This map is great. Coliseum maps usually don't have much gameplay to give out, but this one redeems itself from the stereotyped genre. The cover and the line of sight are really well engineered and applied into the map to improve gameplay, and make 2v2s something unique. The center structure is my favorite part of the map; it looks good, and it positivley defracts the LoS slightly to push more tactical manuevers.

I want to see more arenas from you! They're one of my favorite map types, and you know how to make 'em. Great job.

Thank you, I think I will make more, I am getting no feedback from downloaders. If you say you will DL, Give me some feedback on the map please. It helps me make my future maps better. f you guys could do that, I'd be great.

Fun map chung_wii. I would like to play a nades only game on the first Colosseum you made, but I never got a chance to. 1 vs. 1s and 2 vs. 2s were very fun though on both maps! Both maps looks pretty cool as well. 5/5 :)

chung_wii · 05-11-2009

Thank you man. I thinmk the idea of nades on the 1st one would be coo las well, I just never thought of it.
