Halo 2 A. Map: Blood River

Do you have friends? I don’t! Right now I’m wishing my amiibos could also play Halo with me, sadly they cannot. For now I have to stare at this map wondering what it would be like to play with a full game of friends. I’m sure it’s either great or absolutely terrible. You see I’m not exactly able to play test it, so I have no way of knowing how it is. The map is Blood River, you may have seen it before in Halo Wars.

Basically there are two sides to this map. One has a Covenant base in the back, the other a UNSC one. Both sides are relatively similar, some rocks and trees are placed differently however. The Covenant owns 2 Banshees, 2 Wraiths, and 4 Ghosts, while the UNSC has a Hornet, a Scorpion (not the bug), a Gauss Warthog, a regular Warthog, and 3 Gun-gooses. Thinking about it now I might have to change that a bit, the UNSC side still seems OP. At each base, garage doors can be opened and closed, and vehicles even use teleporters to spawn similarly to how they do in Halo Wars. Each side has it’s own Forerunner Outpost, Sentinel Factory, and Resource Supply Elevator (doesn’t actually work). At the back of each base I placed Flag Stands and Capture Plates incase CTF was a desired gametype. Like I said before though, I haven’t gotten a chance to play test this map at all. If anyone downloads this and is capable of playing the map with balanced teams, I’d appreciate it if they could let me know how it goes… and if there’s anything that needs to be changed or added. I’ve also left out placed weapons, for now I wanted to focus on vehicle gameplay.

The pictures are taken from a phone… of a screen, in a game… So they’re not the best. Why no screenshot upload? :frowning:

Edit: It just popped into my head, I didn’t give a download link, then I thought about it, how do people share maps right now? I heard sharing isn’t as easy as it used to be, so how do we do this exactly?

I love Halo Wars! Looks very true to the original, and the bases have a nice aesthetic. You can check out my map, Zephyr, as well as a very nice remake of a Reach forge map, Select, by watching the short 1 and a half minute Flythrough videos at the link below if you feel so inclined! I’d love to play this with you if you can get a group together!

Hey thanks! Honestly though I’ve got one friend who plays the game, I wouldn’t be able to supply the players for a Custom Game. On top of that I play on PC too much. Sadly I haven’t been good with a controller for quite a while. So I’d probably be useless for a play test! Really I built the map for others to enjoy, hopefully some do.

Zephyr looks really good. Leaving it open like it is also gives it a nice view of the Skybox. It is a bit small though, what gametypes is it intended for?

If referring to my link, only Select is a remake :slight_smile:

Hey thanks, guys. I decided to show off more. I posted 3 new pictures, two of the Bases and one from the middle.
