I made this map out of my love for conquest maps. This is my first map for reach and i made this map to gain knowledge over the new amazing forge. Took me forever to find out how to work the objectives. As usual i am horrible with creating stories.

Now this map is made for neutral bomb assault and king of the hill/crazy king. I made a gametype for assault that is basically like sabotage for modern warfare 2. Meaning you name is displayed to everyone instead of a huge KILL marked above your head. No active camo and No decrease in running spead.

For sabotage their are 5 different classes. I included a jetpacker instead of a bubble shield-er.

I love making enclosed maps but while making it i realized some love the jetpack and it would take away from gameplay.

6 dmr's on map -- 3 on each side.
2 needlers -- 1 on each side
1 grav hammer -- in middle of hill (for KOTH only!)
2 spartan laser -- didnt want to use rockets since the middle will be getting fragged up. -- 1 on each side
2 Falcons -- 1 on each platform

Now i made this map on the rock in forgeworld and yes i incorprated the upper most grassy walkways which wrap around. I made the biggest cave possible in the middle.

Big thanks to ivanone and fatal sloth and all their friends for walking through it.
"Walking" because everyone is too involved with campaign and matchmaking that i had little help testing the map.

Warning: Please pick either orange or the blue team!

Now while playing sabotage with a couple of guys i found the funniest way to arm the bomb is to sprint to the middle grab the bomb and then run back through the base and make your way to the falcon. Once there jump on top and have team mates pile in. It is more than easy to get from your side to theirs and arm the bomb and then gun them down while they try to defuse...but after a while they catch on and then get a triple kill with the spartan laser.

Bomb is instant arm...30 second countdown...and 5 second disarm time. First to score once wins.

If you try to fly too far away from rock you will be given a ten sec warning before Zeus knocks you out the sky with a thunder bolt.

Made two color sides because when your in the middle of the cave do a few slick maneuvers and you forget which way you came from.

looks bad a** while flying with bomb

journey down the halls

he see's what he wants

just walk up...one way door pulls you in

upper part

after dropping down....(if you jump on boxes you can enter alcove where spartan laser is held, most people run right by it.)

...you get sent back up. (another man walking past splazer)

exit

color coordinated

denied entry

4 ways in -- 2 from each side

that's all folks. i put a lot of two day work into this.

p.s. when entering man cannon just walk right in. sometimes if you jump i believe you can miss it then fall to your death.
