Thus he came alone to Angband's gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth in single combat. And Morgoth came.

Here it is!

My friend ender made it.
It is not one of those huge screw around maps though.

This one is balanced, and has lots of weapon and vehicle variety!
It is my favorite, along with abridgetofar!

And there are super weapons, but you can only get them with dev.

So what do you think?
You guys will probably like it better than hotzone.

And you play as an ODST!

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

Looks like the maker just ripped a ton of tags from other maps and chucked them into his map without considering weapon placement. The map itself needs a ton of work overall.

Well, the weapons are scattered, but it is supposed to be a post-invasion setting.
Things would be scrambled up, but I see your point.

Just because weapons are scrambled up doesnt necessarily make it "new" even though the map enviroment/surroundings are new

By the looks on that video you can't even aim the guns on the phantom they just sit there, wtf.

It just goes further to prove that you don't need to design a good looking, well balanced, good gameplay map, you just need to throw in a ton of unnecessary, unbalanced and not thought out or polished weapons and you'll get thousands of downloads.

Sad when people who go through the effort of making maps on scale with what the game was designed for and balancing spawns and weapons, yet not using any or little custom content gets shunned. Look for Portent and Grove on Halomaps. No custom content but they play as well as Bungie's maps.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

I agree with the above.

This is an awful map, and despite what you say, this is nothing more than a screwaround map.

I always offer fair game and usually allow some "extermination" of my teammates. I think that anyone should be able to play Halo or any other game they please.

The character and bodies must be a glitch.

*Sigh*
When are you people who constantly rip on maps like these ever going to learn that people have different opinions of what is good?
I play custom edition to do something new. And do NOT tell me to get a map that you think is better.
Why is it wrong to love a map like this? It offers a new type of gameplay. Like hugeass and coldsnap, etc.
But do not rip on them just because YOU do not like them, because some people do.

The map...duh.
He may have used other peoples tags for just about everything, but he still had the idea for the map.

If you call just a bunch of random weapons and scenery thrown into someone else's BSP an idea then I guess he had a highly original idea.

Fact of the matter is this. This is nothing more than a good learning map that he could use to test how to place items, vehicles and scenery. There is no way anyone with any pride would release this as a real map.
