Recommend Players: 1v1
Recommended Gametype: Conflict

1v1 Conflict, Round 5 (Winners & Losers Bracket)

In a stark deviation from the conventions of our 1v1 Conflict maps thus far, Contention is set in the sunny reaches of the middle level of Sandbox, giving it a beautiful, bright and airy feel. Don't let this fool you, however, you won't be walking for miles to find your opponent in your upcoming 1v1 showdowns, Contention truly creates an environment of its very own.

Again showing that refined use of filters really can work wonders on Sandbox, and putting the last nail in the coffin of those who doomed Sandbox maps to a future of dull aesthetics, Contention's crisp, bright feel perfectly compliments its geometry as a whole. With a flowing network of almost organic feeling chambers spread over two levels, twinned with the breathtaking central hall, the weapon set follows suit, with a varied yet balanced selection for the working Spartan. Whether you're still in the Winners Bracket, or even in the tournament at all, Contention is a must-see if you enjoy the focused competition of 1v1 Halo 3.

Yes, the map has a very different gameplay style than much of the other 1v1s. It's all about quick spawning, varied weapons with low clip sizes. The idea is to use them for minimal kills, and switch up on your weapons a lot. The BR takes a pretty big backseat here, and I recommend running another weapon with it at all times. Equipment is quite big, especially the power drain, because it lets you use your BR a lot more effectively. Brute shot, Sniper and Shotty are the three main weapons, and there is a CPU is well. PR's and Carbines are quite effective, and there is a mauler to counter the shotty.

I'll be honest, the gameplay isn't my personal favorite. Others seemed to like it in testing, and it was a change from the other maps, so I opted to listen to their feedback and keep things the same.

BTW the lift sucks ;)
