Description:

This map is meant to be played with 8v8 Capture the Flag or Team Slayer. It is a narrow symmetrical bridge and is a remake of the popular Halo PC exclusive map "Gephyrophobia". Behind the ends of the bridge there are bases for Red and Blue and are the main hubs of navigation through parts of the map. The bases also provide great cover from sniper fire and banshees. In the center of the map there are 2 Shade Turrets. At the entrances of each base there is 1 Rocket Warthog, 1 Chaingun Warthog and 2 Ghosts. There are also 2 Banshee's on the map on the small highrises to the sides of the map. There are numerous weapons spread throughout the map. Compared to the original map, I had to optimize the weapons and vehicles for Halo 4 to ensure balanced gameplay.

I was a big fan of this map on Halo PC, and it looks like you've done a good job of remaking it. However, I'm afraid that the map won't transfer over to Halo 4 terribly well, largely due to the ridiculous range of the DMR. Still, I'll be checking this out soon.

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to look at the map in the first place. In the lobbies I've played, the DMR wasn't much of a nuisance as most players were in vehicles. What I did to encourage players to stay on the main bridge and/or in vehicles is I added the vehicles such as the Banshees and Rocket Warthogs (Gauss in the past) for easy access, rather than camp on the top highrise bridges with DMR's the entire match.

Cool! Nice remake. Although yea, only flaw is the big open sight lines, but nothin you can really do about that.

[Jesus in Malibu]

Thanks. Yeah, I tried the best I could to fix that.

 

Anyway, I just playtested the map on the last update and I proceeded to make another needed update, change log below:

-Slight adjustment in vehicle placement

LOOKS FUN TO PLAY.

 

This maps looks really fun and dynamic. To be honest, I've never owned Halo CE or Halo 2 myself so I wouldn't know how that map really plays, but it looks really fun to play. Nice job!
