"Apparently we're looking for a bug nobody's ever seen before...Some kind of smart bug." -Lt. John Rico, Starship Troopers

Next Wednesday presents:

THE HIVE

NOTE!!!!--- This is an updated version of "The Hive", it now has:

1. More cover on the main level
2. Only two types of grenades (plasma and frag)
3. Kill Balls at the tunnel escapes (so nobody can escape the tunnels and access the rest of the unbuilt crypt)
3. Support for CTF (multi-flag)
4. Support for Assault (2 bomb as well as 1 bomb, but 1 bomb may not play as well)
5. No Mongooses (people were driving them down into tunnels)

Map Description:
This map has many, many hours of forging. It employs both the main level and the crypt of sandbox. Everything in the crypt was floated/interlocked as best I could. It currently supports slayer gametypes, capture the flag (only 2 flag), and assault (both two-bomb and one-bomb).
The theme of the map is a giant anthill with two bases on either side of it. Two mancanneporters lead out of the hive and back up to the surface.

Weapons/Equipment:
Sniper X1
Rockets X1
Sword X1
Brute Shot X2
Needler X4
BR X16
SMG X10
Plasma Rifle X10
Spiker X2
Bubble Shield X2
Assorted grenades (a bunch of both frags and plasmas)
Warthog X2
Machine Gun Turret X2 (took the place of the mongooses)

Without further ado, here are some pictures.

Enjoy THE HIVE, and let me know what you think!
Also, if anybody knows a good way to get custom games going on Live, please post a reply to let me know, I want to test this map desperately.
