Snake Pit is a rotationally symmetrical 2v2 map that fosters very fast paced engagements. Even though the map is symmetrical, it often times plays asymmetrically with a majority of the action taking place on one of the two sides near OS spawn. Though the map is very vertical, and you can see that in the central shaft - the levels are separated enough that the high ground doesn't have a clear advantage over the other spaces in most firefights. The map takes inspiration from Rats Nest and the Crows Nest campaign level from Halo 3, and I would love to add more details to the map, but I can't right now without inducing framerate drops in the corners of the map. (I will revisit the map and add them if that issue ever gets resolved in a future update.)

 

The map supports Slayer, Oddball and Neutral Flag CTF, but I suggest either Oddball or Slayer - I added Neutral Flag after the fact, and didn't really design the map around it, so it doesn't play it as well as I would like.

Hey Aschur I recognize you from ForgeHub. I've looked at screens of this map before but haven't played yet. Welcome to the site and thanks for submitting to Zandril here!

For the most part, I liked it. Found some issues though

- The overshield can't be picked up.

- There are several objects in the map that I think are unnecessary. Stuff like crates and trash bags that are just in the way. Removing some of those objects would make movement in the map a lot smoother. It'll also look better IMO.
