Halo 4 Novus

[Zandril]

Hey guys. I'm proud to show you my latest map in Halo 4.

 

I call it Novus. Latin for new.

 

I named it that mainly because I wanted to show off the little knowledge I have of the Latin language and because this map is a new start for me. A map I built without basing it off of anything other than my own ideas. First time I've done that. And I'd say it worked out pretty well.

Novus is an asymmetric map that plays best on Extraction and Slayer. CTF also plays pretty good. This map has undergone so many changes I've lost count on how many. And all these changes only made the map better.

 

Weapons in the map

 

Power Weapons

 

- Rocket Launcher x1

- Sniper Rifle x1

- Sticky Detonator x1

 

Other Weapons

 

- Battle Rifle x2

- Plasma Grenade x2 (4 total)

 

This weapon set is working well so far but it is not permanent as I'm still testing the map.

THANK YOU

 

After working on the map for three months, I decided to release it. The barrage of feedback I received was overwhelming that it led me to change the map even more.

 

I'd say that it has changed for the better. Both for gameplay and aesthetics. I've made major changes to this map for 4 times now and I can safely say that each update improved the map.

 

Of course, I couldn't have done all of this to the map without help.

CHANGE LOG

 

- There is now a tunnel that connects bottom Green and bottom Gold.

 

- Top-left Red is now a powerful position in the map due to the bridges that served as LoS blockers being removed.

 

- Rock cave has been reforged. It's not as big as last time. Because before, the rock cave 

was just a path. There wasn't anything in it that would make players want to go there. Players only move to the rock cave once the Sticky Det spawns and then it is barely used. Now, rock cave is home to the counter to top-left Red's power position. This counter is in the form of a ledge.

 

- This map is no longer compatible with Extraction 2-site. Just 1-site now.

 

- The spawns were cleaned up a bit.

 

- The bridge from bottom Blue to top Gold has been removed. It was not necessary.

 

- Extraction cylinders were added to the map to provide as contrast and for callouts. Also, they're pretty.

 

- Changed the location of the BRs.
