Hallway 2.0

First off, this was not originally my project. I was invited into a build by my good friend Scet Shin. He was having difficulties blocking off the back corridor of Foundry so i volunteered my services and embedded the A and B signs into the floor and ceiling. Afterward, he asked me to play a game on the map to give it a test and he invited 2 friends. 5 seconds into the game i knew he had a winner on his hands, i have never had so much fun playing such a simple, yet extremely intense game. In fact it was so much fun i decided to build 8 more hallways, each with their own unique characteristics and features.

(For the record, Scet Shin and i have no idea where this game originated from. A thorough search of Bnet and Forgehub revealed not even a clue. If anyone knows who the original creator of this game is, please PM me and i will replace this paragraph with proper thanks and credit)

Hallway - The Game

Hallway is an extremely simple 2v2 or 3v3 Snipers/2 Flag game. In fact, you do not even need to explain the rules in the lobby. You just grab 3 friends, start the game, and instinct takes over from there. The maps are 99.9% unbreakable and no honour rules are required. Scoring is 5 points for 2v2, but should be reduced to 3 points for 3v3. (4v4 is possible on the open maps Stand UP, Stand Down and Dark Corridor)

Hallway - The Maps

NOTE: All maps have been set up for CTF, Assault and Neutral Assault (Grifball!), Slayer and King of the Hill. Click on the Map name to download, Click on any pic for a slide show.

Hallway: fallway
Fallway on Avalanche was built by the Forerunners for Scet Shin.

The first of the expanded set. I decided to use only Forerunner pieces for this build to keep the map clean looking and functional. Notice how the entire second level is floating.

Hallway: Stand Down
Let's get in one more game before this thing collapses.

This is the fan favourite. We have played several dozen matches here and it never gets tiring. This location was selected as much for it's proximity to the death volume, as it was for the outstanding view.

Hallway: Tympanum
The triangular map with the grenade gutter. Watch out for the ricochet.

The Forgers favourite. This structure, made with stairs and double boxes on a timer, practically built itself. Your Sniper shots can ricochet several times before hitting their target.

Hallway: Haunted Hallway
The afterlife should be this much fun.

This is my personal favourite. The map looks rough and chaotic, yet is built to exacting standards. The walls and game elements are perfectly placed. The central 'closets' meet in exactly in the middle of the hallway. All maps have some form of cover at the halfway point. Each is unique in construction and playability.

Hallway: Dark Corridor
¨Wow, this combines the joy of killing with my fear of heights!¨ pxr

Built in the Blackout skybubble, this one takes a few seconds to get used to due to the low light level. But once your eyes adjust, this map is a blast to play on. This one has 3 different forms of cover at the center, including descending stairs which most people do not notice at first. All maps feature very creative use of hill markers. If you play KotH, set the hills to 10 seconds and sequential.

Hallway: Hallway 2.0
The original Hallway Map (i think). Built by Scet Shin & NOKYARD.

As far as i know this was built from the original, then cleaned up and improved using more advanced Forging techniques.

Hallway: Stand Up
Hey look, a floating bridge. Wait a second EVERYTHING is floating!

A re-worked version of Stand Down where you have to actually aim your Sniper Rifle. Strategic use of your 2 Grenades is very important on this map.

Hallway: Steam Pipe
Do NOT touch the steam pipe, it is HOT!

Built outside the Tympanum map, this map features 'stacked' spawns instead of rows of spawns on the ground. If you jump while you progress to the flag you will not be killed by the steam pipe.

Hallway: Habitrail
Get it? The tubes rats run through. Oh nevermind, just go shoot stuff.

Although built on Rat's Nest you would never know it for this map is completely enclosed in open doubles.
(Not recommended for 3v3)
