DOMAIN. FINALLY.

[English Mobster]

Finally. I swear, if I hear "Dropship Victor 9-22 to Pillar of Autumn" ONE MORE TIME, I WILL SCREAM.
Kidding. My map is awesome.
And its release time!

Title : Domain
Release Date : July-03-2009
Author : English Mobster
Description : The Halo 2 map "Turf" set in post-Slipspace rupture New Mombasa.
about:
"Just hours after the New Mombasa Slipspace event, the streets of Mombasa lie in ruin."

Domain is based on Turf about 4-5 hours after Regret's jump at the end of Halo 2's "Metropolis" level. The sun has set, and rain falls from the sky. Debris from the jump litters the streets. Malfunctioning signs are found here and there.
While this map is near-identical to Turf layout-wise, aesthetically, it is slightly different. Now there is debris everywhere, with burning cars and overturned crates.

The Warthog is now tipped over and needs to be flipped. The Wraith it had destroyed just before the Slipspace jump is destroyed and is not drivable.
Although it IS NEARLY identical, there are some modifications. For one, there are now several office buildings which are able to be explored, most notably near the ODST pod, where a damaged air lift in a heating vent leads to a Flamethrower, and near the burning Wraith, where either Active Camo or an Overshield sits near a bank of decimated computer systems.
Another change is the placement of Flags for CTF. The bases for CTF are completely reworked to promote better gameplay, and to get rid of the advantage formerly held by the Blue team. Also, you play as an ODST with colored undies camouflage which matches your team's color.

Recommend Gametypes:
While this map supports all gametypes, in testing we discovered that King of the Hill and Oddball are especially fun to play on this map.


THANKS TO:
Bungie for making the Halo games and Halo 3: ODST as well as Turf, both of which this map this is based off of!
The H2CE team for their "New Mombasa Classic" map, which was not only a great inspiration, but also the source of some of the (heavily modified) bitmaps!
DEEhunter for the :awesome: baked lightmaps!
Inferno for the 1337 air lift, as well as bug testing and his "Inferno" graffiti (like he really needs the credit for that part =P)
KiLLa for Hypothermia's sky!
Codebrain for his Phantom!
Tiamat for the Mythos!
Jay2645 for the Mongoose!
Hunter for the Medkit Dispenser model!
Infamouslink for his dumpster!
Munkee for his "Make luv, not war" graffiti!
Rhydgaled for "The Rookie" graffiti!
AdmiralBacon for his "Flying Brick" graffiti!
Heathen for his... erm... graffiti!
Ro0ster for the "Superintendent" graffiti!
The folks at Modacity for offering their honest-if sometimes harsh-critism of my work. Oh, and beta testing. Lots and lots of beta testing.

If there's anyone I missed, I'm terribly sorry.Map is named "Domain Final" due to a bug I encountered VERY last-second where, for no apparent reason, naming the map file "Domain" caused it to not show up in the map list. It compiled and was in the maps folder, but ingame, the map was nowhere to be found. I tried it several times with the same result, but renaming it seemed to work.

One final thing: My dedicated server (well, the computer running the server) had its fan burn out, so the dedi can't stay up very long. Can Rams or Bacon (or both =P) host a dedi of this map this weekend? Or maybe add it to the Bunghole weekend bash?

[Kaishounashi]

Don't know if it's just me, but I tried downloading it (in both FF and IE and opening it with different utils (winRAR and 7-zip) but the file seems to be corrupted. =/

[Disaster]

ehhh :3

downloading :p

[Siliconmaster]

Nice. I'll be downloading this. :)

[Arteen]

Looks fun. It's nice to see a map with a unique style. We should play it the next time there's a gamenight.

[English Mobster]

For those who have had issues, I have uploaded a second mirror, which is an RAR Archive. I think Filefront may have screwed up the first file when it was uploading.

[Inferno]

The lights are kind of disappointing. The bright spot under the signs is gone and I liked that.

Otherwise its great and I want to own you in your server.

[PopeAK49]

Good thing it's released today because I'll be able to play on high speed internet finally.

[DEElekgolo]

Why is the lighting all noisy? It wasn't like that in sapien.

[Higuy]

Looks cool, bit dark though. I'll have to try this out.

[Ki11a_FTW]

pretty cool map but for some reason i get like 12 fps on it

[sevlag]

well i'll DL this and play a few matches with anyone who wants to see what its all about because its that time where i get on the CE laptop

[klange]

My server is going up in a minute, playing a short rotation with a few different games.

No clue. I thought it was supposed to be like that.

FakeEdit: It ISN'T like that in Sapien, but it IS ingame. Odd.

[Alwin Roth]

Y halo thar featured maps.
E: ome people have told me that Halo thinks the version of Domain I uploaded to Filefront is different than the one uploaded to Halomaps. I downloaded both of the versions, just to check, and, yeah, the Filefront version is older than the Halomaps one. I must have screwed up somewhere and put the wrong file into the zip I uploaded to Filefront, but Halomaps has the right version.
So you'll have to re-download, using the correct version I reposted in the main thread. Sorry. =\
