After many balance changes and adjustments I believe I am finally ready to release my latest map, radiation. Fiction wise, the map is set in and around the reactor room of Voi power plant. The map comes complete with fully interlocked floors, walls and ceilings. A great deal of time and effort was put into making movement around the map flow seamlessly.
The map is in a figure of eight configuration, with a reactor room in the centre. Now I warn you, the map is quite small and confined and as such not suited to particularly large games, with ten players being the maximum that can feasibly be accomodated.
One of the greatest changes to come about after testing was the removal of equipment, as it was deemed to be too powerful in the narrow corridors. That said, in asymetrical games there is equipment, to allow the attackers to sow confusion (radar jammer) and the defenders to quickly block off a corridor in emergencies (deployable cover). These have long respawns so must be used conservatively. It must be noted that the physics exploits associated with radar jammers do not make a difference on this map, the ceiling is too low.
The specific weapons on the map are as follows:

Four battle rifles
Four sub-machine guns
Four plasma rifles
Two covenant carbines
Two assault rifles
Eight plasma grenades (Long Respawn)
Four fragmentation grenades

The grenades may seem to be overpowered but due to long respawns they are used altogether more conservatively than one would expect.

Now on to pictures, now I warn you some of these were taken during playtesting and show equipment, which is not present in the current version.

As you can see from the image below, this map is great for SWAT!

This map works with all gametypes, though in objective games respawn times should be reduced from Bungie defaults, particularly for defenders, as otherwise stopping the enemy from escaping with the flag is extremely difficult. I would recomend SWAT for this map, particularly without grenades.
I hope you have fun with this map, I know I have.

Due to popular request I have created a map showing layout and weapon placement, this is below:

Black areas denote the walls, and the grey central area is the reactor. The background is a gratuitous picture of avalanche. I have just realised I left out the carbines, these are up against the wall oposite the frag grenades.
