GryffinGuy007 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 *drops to knees* Thank you so much! Been waiting a long time for this. Can it be a previously-forged map, or must it be specifically forged for this contest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconShelf Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Probably won't be able to do this one. Sorry! The map has turned out... Just... terrible. I'm going to focus my efforts on Dominion (I'm better at forging Dominion anyway, Flood isn't my strong suit.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzarahn Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 This looks like fun. Just some tips: Hivemind works better on short to medium sightlines. ARs and Magnums are great initials to place right by the human spawns, while more powerful weapons should require you to spread out away from teammates and safety. Good luck everyone! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sikslik7 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 GT: Sikslik7 Map Name: La Villa Map Link: http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/games/halo4/fileshare/details/db0552cd-5cb0-45f0-a609-0ea0c7b60850 Description: Built long ago by a warlord as his personal estate, it has become a historical landmark known for the atrocities committed there. During a recent restoration, the real horrors of what happened there were uncovered. Spartans have been deployed to end the contamination before it can spread. This map was semi inspired by a short story I had to read long ago about a man who hunted other men on his personal island. I decided that just an estate would work much better and I could incorporate some aspects of maps I made back in Reach. Be prepared to face the horrors within!

GryffinGuy007 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 GT: GryffinGuy007 Map Name: Hurricane Z Waypoint Link: http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-au/players/gryffinguy007/halo4/fileshare#!/?section=GameMap&SearchDate=7&SortBy=2&view-select=Tile&startIndex=0&details=e33dba79-6862-4e23-9df0-370fa1de1fa7 Map Description: [Command, this is the Seattle Highway Department, there appears to be a situation going on in Area Code 37, do not enter, I repeat, do not enter. Riots have erupted all over the city, with civilians even attempting to bite those offending. The violence cannot be controlled, I repeat, cannot be controlled. Requesting immediate quarantine actions, command code 007, over. Send in Spartans from Infinity immediately, over.] The year is 2557. After the catastrophic events of Hurricane Zero, the city centre of Seattle now houses the plague that carries similar characteristics of the Flood infection. The city, and its people, are now infected with what has been identified as a cannibalistic virus. Your mission, as Spartans, is to eliminate the threat. Destroy all who possess this horrific disease; there is no cure. The city has been quarantined to prevent the outbreak spreading any further. You will not leave until you completely eliminate the virus. Kill them, or become one of them - your decision. Good luck, Spartans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagoner1993 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 GT: Wagoner1993 Map Name: Breach Description: The map takes place at an under ground bunker on Erosion; however, this map truly sets itself apart from all other underground bunkers by the aesthetics and gameplay. I hope everyone who plays this map will enjoy it. I apologize for my technical difficulties earlier so consider this the submission rather than my sad first attempt.

Team Heroic was sent to investigate, but was surprised when a group of unknown hostiles boarding them were marked with friendly tags from long since KIA allies... (this was placed "late" due to nonresponsiveness and the sudden realization that other individuals were placing their submissions here instead of just tagging and leaving in fileshare as I had understood we would be doing...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
