DISCLAIMER: THIS MAP MUST BE PLAYED WITH PLATFORMBALL V1 GAME VARIANT

Click Here For the Platformball V1 Map

After a total of 25 Hours of handcrafting and testing, Platformball V1 is finally completed.

Best of all, Halo 3 players without the new map packs finally has a map to enjoy. No longer will you be shafted! I wanted my very first creation to be unique, and on a map that rarely gets forged. After checking around I realized that not too many people forges Construct (Also because everyone forges foundry). So I figured that it was an oppertunity to test the waters and hope to create something that isn't done too often. Especially on this map.

I kept three things in mind when creating this map. It has to be competitive, fast paced, and revolves HEAVILY around teamwork. I truly believe I accomplished those task. After a few test games, (Scrapped ALOT of things that didn't work) everything runs the way I envisioned it. Only the basement floor of the map is used.

Description

Round starts...

You and your brothers in arms are charging down the narrow hallway, Battle Rifle in hand. Better pick up that Deployable cover. Once you make it to the corner, its gametime. You and the enemy are exchanging fire, spike grenades soaring through the air. That deployable cover is mighty useful now.

Good. The enemy is eliminated for now. Better get to that bomb on the helipad.

Hey a bubbleshield...

Your team is on the helipad. Grabs the Sniper Rifle and Brute Shotgun. Those will come in handy. You grab the bomb. Okay, here's the plan. The Sniper stays on the helipad while the rest of your teammates escort you to the golden lift through the middle. Here they come! Fire erupts. Two of your teammates go down. Crap! One's behind me! You won't make it to the lift in time! *BANG!* Sniper bullet through the back of the head of the S.O.B. Whew! The sniper is a life saver. Teammates fall back to the helipad.

Up the lift. Through the portal...

Platforms. A staircase of them. Have to concentrate. One slip and your done for!

Jump, after jump, after jump...

Your teammates on the helipad are again engaging a relentless enemy. Damn! Taking fire! From where? One of the bastards followed you through the portal! You scream for the Sniper. He puts a bullet through his head. The Snipers attention is no longer on the enemy down the middle. Him and the rest of the team go down. The enemy has you in their sights down below. Your taking fire! Your gonna die!

......

Wait! You still have that bubble shield from earlier! You throw it down. The enemy is pissed. They can't get you in your cucoon of sanctuary. Quick thinking. You scream for your team to hurry up. The shield won't last forever. The enemy takes fire. Their too focused on you to watch your teammates advancing up the middle! The enemy gets wiped out... right before the bubble shield depleted.

Close one.

Your team says to get moving! You hop on your way. Almost to the goal. Whoa! Almost slipped. The enemy is tearing through your teams defense! One breaks through! He lobbs a Spike grenade! Watch out! It sails by...

You make the final jump. Bomb armed...

Detonated.

Good job team. Good job.

Screen fades black. Another round begins...

Neutral Bomb. 4 Rounds. One minute sudden death.

Screenshots

Watch your step... or leap!

Make sure your team is watching your back down there!

Get to da portaaa!

Don't even think about stepping into the forbidden zones...

Kaboom!

I am confident in saying this is the most original assault map avaliable.

General Tips:

1) It's not recommended for the WHOLE team to go through the big lift. Who's watching everyone at the bottom?

2) It's important to hold down the bottom pad in order for the bomber to make his way to the objective. If not, bye bye bomber.

3) Watch out for flying debris! It very well may knock you right off the platform! Not to mention it hurts!

4) Stay away from the forbidden zones! You don't belong there!

5) If the platforms fall, don't sweat! They will return in a short while. Hope you can live that long!

6) Equipment can play a big role in bringing your team to victory. Use them wisely...

7) This map is made for great wall sticks with the Spike Grenade. Take advantage!
