Halo 4 Lunar Outpost

Lunar Outpost is a big team battle 12-16 player map designed around warthog and infantry combat. Infantry has multiple routes to take including a large central structure overseeing each teams base, as well as teleporters crossing green and gold side. Vehicles have multiple set paths designed for high speed hog runs, big air jumps, and escape routes. The Mantis will not spawn on objective games to help avoid base camping. Instead a second Rocket Hog will spawn in its place. Lunar Outpost has been in testing phases for over three months now and I feel it is ready for release. 

I would like to thank everyone who's been in testing lobbies as well as forge lobbies with me. I've received a lot of helpful feedback from several forgers and players.

UPDATE

 

I redid a large amount of the map since posting it. 

-Framerate has been reduced from original version. 

-New central structure. Less objects used and covers cross map lines of sight. Added a lower level as well.

-Gold side restructured as well. New Rocket Hog platform, more cover from red base, new Ghost spawn.

-Teleporters removed from green/gold side. 

-More cover added to green/natural side.

-Replaced Rocket hog by crane with Ghost in objective games (mantis still spawn in slayer)

-Cleaned up hog routes as well as jumps.

-Spawn times on vehicles increased.

-Less power weapons spawns.

 

The new updates are in my fileshare and link to map has been updated.

We got quite a few framerate drops on here when we tested it today.  Other than that, things felt pretty good for the most part.  The use of prefab buildings isn't great. but isn't a huge issue.  The roads curving behind the silos by the bases were so steep that hogs got air when driving up them at high speed.  I like the overall design and layout of the map, as well as the vehicle set.  Some of the forging comes off as a bit sloppy in some areas (again, the prefab structures don't help this), with some areas being a bit awkward to drive on.  Overall, I like the map quite a bit, and think it's a big improvement from Plateau, which I know was essentially the map's predecessor as i understand it.  However, I don't think it's quite feature-worthy just yet.  Do you think that you could at least fix the framerate?

Thanks for the feedback, Psychoduck. I've been reworking the map the last few days trying to break up some of the lines of sight in hopes of reducing some frame rate issues. I scrapped the original central structure and created a more closed off building. I've also tried to clean up some of the structures, like the Rocket Hog spawn for example. Driving is still a bit awkward in some areas, but I personally like that it takes a good driver to maneuver the map. Frame rate appears to have been reduced, but I can only get rid of so much with such a large and open map design. If you're on tonight I would like to get a lobby going and see what you think of the updates.

Good to hear.  I will be on tonight, so I'll see about hopping into customs.
