Halo 4 The Burrows (Collapsed Subway)

[Creative Gaming Inc.]

Gamertag: NOBLE E 2552

 

Map name: "The Burrows"

 

Game type: Standard Flood / "Biohazard"

 

Description: [Recommended 8-16 players.] "During the siege of New Mombassa in 2552, the metro tunnels collapsed, trapping hundreds and cutting off the city's last hope for salvation."

 

I've been working really hard on this map for the past week and I've finally gotten it to look and play exactly how I want it to. The Spartans spawn in the main atrium, which has a very creepy atmosphere thanks to the lighting. They usually hold out there until after the initial bloodbath, at which point they hold out in the tunnels or the maintenance shaft. The main problem with this map would've been the lack of LOS blockers, but I managed to solve that problem by putting down various barricades in the tunnels. The maintenance shaft is interesting because of the pipes, which are low enough to jump over, but high enough to not see over. Positions around the map are defendable, but not too defendable, which encourages movement. The crushed train also looks really cool. The Flood navigate the map via teleporter.

 

Sorry for no link, Waypoint doesn't allow my version of Safari. And I had to use a camera for the screenshots, my capture card is black and white at the moment.

 

My YouTube account is "creativegaminginc" if you're interested, but I don't have any videos yet due to my capture card. http://www.youtube.c...nc?feature=mhee And don't tell me to get a haircut, I got one today, haha.

 

 

 

 

 

Update:

 

"Biohazard" Game Type

 

The Flood have the Overshield visual effect to achieve a "nuclear" or radioactive look, which makes it scary when you're in the train and you see the zombies emerge from the darkness through the windows. They have access to all three armour abilities and a radar, while humans have no radar, but do have Promethean Vision, so they mostly rely on natural awareness and it makes it all the more frightening when you turn around and find a zombie there. Humans are each given one grenade which must be used wisely. Rounds last seven minutes respectively.

 

Update 2:

 

I will soon be changing the name of the game type to "HazMat" as it better fits the game type what with the bright yellow armour that Spartans are forced to wear combined with the radioactive Flood. Biohazard will be used as the name for my upcoming map, which will be a nuclear mining facility.

 

Really, another update?

 

Alright, so it seems that 343 has finally fixed the dynamic lighting (THANK YOU!) so this map will soon be getting some upgrades.

That looks like it would make a great flood map, I hope I remember to download it.

I just played this a couple of times with a party of 10 and a party of 8 respectively. Very fun map. Well balanced and fair for the both the zombies and the humans. The hiding spots are powerful but not dominate. The subway feel is very eerie and fitting for an infection map.

 

Well done Creative Gaming

Cool map! I was just wondering, what is a good amount to play this map with?

[Creative Gaming Inc.]

Our best game had somewhere in the 10-12 player range, not sure on the exact number.

 

It plays best with the "Biohazard" game type, you can find that on my file share as well.
