Bungie (BUN-GEE) Studios

Hi, this is my first post on ForgeHub (which I must say is a pretty interesting site). This map, as of posting already has 700+ downloads and supports all game types, but I haven't really received any feedback other than the norm. I was hoping the serious forgers here could point out some things for me, such as overall structure, opinion, glitches etc. I have spent over 20 hours on this map and I'd really appreciate some of the above feedback.

Here is an exerpt of the backstory, description, and pictures of my map:

"In my opinion, this is an excellent map. BELSKI23SLAYER and I have probably spent over twenty hours building, testing, and perfecting this map. We didnâ€™t make any custom game types, but since this map supports every game type, quite well, I may add, we didnâ€™t feel it was necessary.

This map has a parking lot, office, board room, rec room (sealed room with man cannons, soccer balls, and a grav lift), and the â€œBungie Bunkerâ€ where their most powerful weapons are stored. This map is very unique and I believe you will all enjoy it. There are also hidden weapons, traps, and alternate paths you will have to discover on your own. Happy hunting, have fun, and read below to find out why Bungie Studios has become a battleground!

HERE IS THE BACKSTORY:

The year is 2009. Bungie has made billions from the copies of the various Halo games. They have alluded to a new IP to the public, but it couldnâ€™t be farther from the truth. Deep within Bungie HQ, they are planning their total domination of the Earth. They have taken the props from the Halo movie and converted them into working firearms. They have also built Spartan and Elite exoskeletons with working shields.

Their plan is simple. They wonâ€™t use their â€œSeven Steps to World Domination,â€ as Bungie felt that the world would somehow find a way to counter it, as they have released those plans on the internet. Bungie then developed an entirely new planâ€¦

Using some of their earnings, Bungie bio-engineered a real-life Mister Chief (not Master). He serves no purpose in 2009, but he is the one that patches the Halo servers, unbeknownst to the outside world. The â€œgameâ€ is to be released in 2010, but is really a brainwashing device. The brainwasher promises its victims that in exchange for their undying support for the new order, flaming Recon Armor and infinite Forge budget will be theirs. The army will begin to spread, and the message will reach most of the planet. For those who can not be brainwashed, Bungie also has a plan. They will construct a massive radio antenna that will trick a Grunt armada into attacking Earth, and when it appears all is lost, Bungie will send their then combat trained Mister Chief to unleash dual lightsaber justice upon the ill-fated Grunts. Afterwards, the brainwashed and resistors alike will elect Mister Chief President of Earth. He will then create the capital in Kirkland, Washington, and will rule on the behalf of Bungie, who runs things behind the scenes, and has Halo multiplayer arenas built where teams of grown men wearing red and blue armor fight pointlessly over flags for Bungieâ€™s amusement. Winners will receive cups, only to always be stolen by the losers. Also, the phrase â€œseven continentsâ€ will be replaced with â€œseven columnsâ€ the worldâ€™s anthem shall have the word â€œMarathonâ€ every seven words, and the military will come to be known as the UNSCDF.

The current design of the flag looks something like thisâ€¦
Bungie World Domination Flag

Something Bungie didnâ€™t anticipate happened, however.

On this day, Mister Chief accidentally sent a patch to the servers that essentially broke online play. From that moment onward, the Halo fanboys had had enough.

They were tired of not having Recon Armor. They were fed up with not having new multiplayer maps. They wanted to search for custom games. They were once hardcore Halo fans, even knowing the meaning o the phrase â€œfrog blast the vent core,â€ which normally only Bungie employees knew. Some even realized the answer to the closely guarded secret to why Bungie is known as â€œBungie.â€ At the moment the patch went up, they decided it was their turn to develop Halo.

The nerds among them created working copies of the Halo weapons, and stole shipments of Spartan and Elite exoskeletons that were meant for Bungie. They were then prepared for their uprising.

After a normal day of planning world domination, Bungie employees heard a loud explosion, followed by an army of heavily armed Spartans and Elites chanting â€œpatchâ€¦â€ directly outside the studio. Immediately, the Bungie staff prepared for what seemed likely to become an all-out war.

What happens next is up to youâ€¦

GAME TYPES:

Since all game types are supported, there are an infinite number of ways the scenario can play out, but Iâ€™ve thought of several myself.

TERRITORIES: The fanboys attempt to take over Bungie little by little, inch by inch. Battle over control of the parking lot, office, roof, wreck room, bunker, and much more.

CAPTURE THE FLAG: Bungie employees have moved the activation code for Recon Armor into a flag pole for safe keeping (NOBODY would think to look there! :P), and the fanboys attempt to recover it. In two-sided, the fanboys have their gamertag information, and while the attack has temporarily shut down Bungieâ€™s servers (even though technically, if you read above, were already broken); they can use that information to permanently ban the fanboys.

ASSAULT: In one-sided, the fanboys try to bomb the â€œBungie Bunkerâ€ to destroy all of Bungieâ€™s powerful equipment and servers, so they can take over. In two-sided, the fanboys go for the boardroom to prevent Bungie from planning any more patches or play list changes that they donâ€™t approve of, while the employees try to use a bomb to seal off the parking lot to stop the fanboy onslaught.

VIP ESCORT: Bungie decides this attack is the perfect time to test Mister Chiefâ€™s combat abilities. Escort him around various points on the map to get him ready for the new world order.
*NOTE* Since this is Mister Chief after all, I recommend the VIP color be green and for him to spawn with an Energy Sword (to represent his light sabers).

SLAYER/ TEAM SLAYER: In Slayer, the fanboys begin to have a dispute over who is the ultimate diehard Halo fan. Why donâ€™t you help them decide? In 2 Team Slayer, the two factions duke it out for total control over the studio, while when there are more than two teams, each represents a rival fanboy faction.

KING OF THE HILL: The rival factions try to remain in control of areas of the studio for as long as possible.

INFECTION: The battle has been long, hard, and trying for both sides. They both have now used their last resort weapon: the Flood Infection form. Both have extracted the flood from the source code of the games, and have unleashed it upon their opponents. Unfortunately, the Flood Zombies turn and gang up on both the employees and the fanboys. The two sides have decided to team up to survive the teeming Zombie hordeâ€™s relentless attack.

*NOTE*
As I have stated before, this map supports all modes, so Juggernaut and Oddball are also supported, along with normal VIP.

Thanks for all the help!

IF THERE ARE ANY BUGS/GLITCHES REMAINING, LET ME KNOW. I WILL FIX THEM IMMEDIATELY (if I spent 20+ hours on this map, whatâ€™s a couple more?). MY GOAL WAS TO MAKE A MAP THAT WORKED WITH ALL GAME TYPES, WAS SEMI-FUNNY, AND WAS JUST PLAIN FUN TO PLAY. I WANT IT TO BE PERFECT, SO Iâ€™M GOING TO NEED HELP IF A PROBLEM APPEARS THAT I DIDNâ€™T ANTICIPATE."
