Scarab Assault

Description
After finding evacuated warehouses, the Covenant use them to build and store Scarab tanks.

This is the scarab. The scarab says hi. I had some guy harass me about how I didn't like his scarab, and how he wanted to see if I could build a better one. Lets just say I won this argument..

There are a lot of bad angles and tight spaces on this map, so don't expect everything to be lined up perfectly. Although, I think I did a good job otherwise. Everything matches the scarab in campaign. There were minor details that I couldn't get, (the support pole in the hanger; more length to it), but overall I'm very happy with it.

Layout
Features a full scarab tank in the middle of the warehouse, two human bases in the "offices", and two outposts in the corners. The scarab has three levels, and sports a gauss turret for the main gun, and a ghost for the secondary gun. Both vehicles are immobile.

The Human bases both have a warthog and a mongoose. The outposts have man cannons that fling you to the scarab.

Gametypes
All gametypes are supported, but I suggest one bomb assault, one flag, and slayer. Zombies may work out too.

Another overview of the scarab.



The front. You can see the gauss turret and the walkway down to the hanger.

A view of the hanger. You can make the jump up to it with a support weapon, but still walk underneath it.

Profile shot. It sort of resembles the campaign counter-part.

The hoof of a mighty beast.

A good view of the gauss hog and the ghost.

Wow that is very detailed indeed, and looks fun

I agree, looks very scarab-like for a change. You won your bet I'm sure, but I wonder how the gametypes play.. only one way to find out...

I really just ran out of money in the end. Not a lot went into making sure it was a lot of fun to play. I didn't get a chance to do much testing on it, but from what I've played it was so-so. It's not supposed to be a combat map. Think.. Interactive scenery..

[Shock Theta]

I thought as much, and so I don't think less of it. IMO better than your pirate ship because I reckon it was harder to get right...?

Good job, on making that big...thing. You created quite a structure very well, I don't see how it could be fun or a scarab. I'm sure you won the bet, but this looks more like something to like at then to try to play.

[Coolant]

Much harder.. From my recent game history I have about 5 pages full of games. Each of those games was one object placed in order for it to float..

EDIT: It was never intended to be a combat map. In the case of gametypes, I just wanted people to have something to do with it instead of looking at it. The map's mostly for show.

WOW. Thats pretty impressive. It looks like it took a long time. About 3 weeks after halo 3 came out, i played a map where a scarab was attacking the Zanzibar, and u had to carry a bomb out to it and blow it up. It was cool cuz the bomb explosion sent boxes and crates flying all over. The gameplay itself was pretty weak. The gametype provided by the host was impossible for attackers, and the scarab was not very accurate at all. Yours looks much better.

WOW. That is all I have to say. :o

You make the most detailed maps, I'm serious. From the Pirate Ship, to this. This is crazy detailed.
