Pavilion

[/URL] The overview

Story
Pavilion used to be the main UNSC training ground during the war, however it was left when the forces trianing here were needed. As it was a top secret place no one knew the whereabouts of the facility and so it was left in prestine consition. Years later war veterans found it a turned into a symmetrical battleground for spartans to train on.

Description
Pavilion is an symmetrical map on the middle of sandbox with a base on each end of the area. It takes up about half of the area down in the middle. Pavilion is set up for team based games such as capture the flag, team slayer, king of the hill and team oddball. It does not really work on FFA because of spawns placed and the positioning of power weapons which would mean that some players get an advantage as the power weapons are placed in the middle which is an equal distance between the bases. The map provides intense gameplay with different heights and length of view and so on.

Wow, cool idea. It seems you took your time in the map and it showed off. It sort off reminds me of turf.
From the pics it looks like you can get out of the map very easily. Have you made it cheat proof? If not, a V2 might need to be done to fix it.
also I love where you put the sniper, It is stratigic and well placed.
overall 9/10
nice map

EDIT: P.S. dont rate your own map, it makes you look like a douche.

Hey hey, this looks really cool. Im not easily inpressed but wow dude. I really like the layout. The map looks really fun. Nice job. I would look into possible escape points though. This map doesnt look to difficult to escape. Other than that, nice job.

The map does look solid, but it shares the same issue a majority of these Main Level sandbox maps share. Many of these map that utilize a surrounding wall are too easy to be broken; one little grenade and you're out. So what's to keep someone from grabbing the sniper and going out to a dune to snipe. Exactly why the main level should be used for larger scale, free-roam Objective based maps.

I'd relocate for a v2 as this has potential.

I agree your pipeline is fantastic but lets not talk about that here. Your map looks amazing and the pictures show it off very well. I think your weapon choice was well chosen and their power weapon positioing must get a mention, for instance the shotgun placed on the ground floor in a tight sort of area just right for a shotgun! 6/5

Ok, lets get something straight please can you download and show me evidence of where you can get out of the map instead of saying you can do it based on the pictures. Relocating the map would be impractical because of the amountof items you would need for the floor and I cant see this map working in the crypt. Thanks

Thank you and yes when i get round to it I will fix the arch, got a bit sloppy at that bit because it was many for a roof until in the pic i realised its aesthetic look.

Very nice map. I'm liking this one a lot. Very intricate, medium-sized map with lots cover and opportunities for CQC. Nice work on the different levels of elevation as well. I'll be keeping this one and trying it out in a game.

I really don't get the big deal with escaping a map. Some people are so worried about it. Do you know how impractical it is to be trying to escape a map from grenade jumping or whatever if you're playing with people actually taking the game seriously? You won't even be able to make it out of the map. Besides, if someone is gonna be doing that, I wouldn't even be playing with them. Enjoy the map and the game for what it is.

Thank you! Someone who agrees with me finally! Thanks for the comment and I cannot believe someone voted my map 1 star without a comment... people these days

I have played this map a few times and i liked how the center was put together, also each end is well thought out and I cant wait to play other game types on it... The sniper in the middle is really somthing to chase after when you first start playing.. my friend played assault on it and he said it worked out well, maybe you should look into that..
