Ah yes, another map intended for CMT. I guess it's a theme. Too bad CMT never got around to releasing more MP maps after Snow Grove. We had some good ones planned. This was (at least in Master's opinion) CMT's best map. Hopefully you'll find it to be slightly more interesting than the other two maps I released earlier. That said, I'm releasing this map for the same reason as the others.

This map is a major update to one of my first maps, Atephobia. The layout has gotten a major overhaul, and all the structures are rebuilt and redesigned. It is a large, asymmetric outdoor map designed for vehicle use, but with a teleporter network to give players mobility on-foot.

This map was going to be a CMT map, but no such luck. I'm releasing it now so that it gets released at all, since the CMT version has been cancelled. It's fully playable, but not fully polished. This map was supposed to be released with CMT's wide variety of weapons, but with the classic weaponset, I had fewer weapons than I had roles for them, so that's why there's a special Needler on the bridge.

Special Thanks:
Tiamat for tags used in his ncyborg
CtrAltDestroy for the weapon backpack tags
Lightning and H2CE for teleporters and flag bases
Wave of Lag for making me learn how to UV unwrap
baturkin17 of halonews.org and Phil of modhalo.net for hosting
Kyle and Stormwing for some ideas I wasn't able to implement in the original
CMT for testing, and for their work on the CMT version
The beta testers for the first version (sorry, I forgot your names after two years!)

Meh. I don't like leaving projects unfinished. Better release now, instead of never. This map was so much fun with the CMT content in it, but alas, it was not meant to be.

[Higuy]

Nice job man! Itll be cool as a cmt map but, ive always liked the origional weapons as well. Im downloading right now.

[Sel]

This looks really cool.

Now to look at your third topic, and +rep the best one you made :o

[Martini-562]

looks very nice.

[supersniper]

I remember this one. It actually was a good map (well at least all the pics I saw of it.)

[LlamaMaster]

Hell yes! I remember betaing this like 2 years ago, and i was wondering if you were ever going to release it!

[ODX]

Well one, why does it say 'false' in the first picture? What'd you type in? Also, looks great, if only the Halo 1 engine could take more in multiplayer so CMT could insert they awesome stuff....

[Botolf]

This would have been all the more awesome as a CMT map :(

[paladin]

Looks good.

I didn't notice that it said false when I saved the pic. I was using "rasterizer_fog_atmosphere 0" so the map could be seen more clearly.

[PenGuin1362]

This would have been all the more awesome as a CMT map :(

trust me, it would not have been. i remember this :) so glad to see you released the classic version.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Nice, i like it alot :)
Reminds me of maps in Starsiege: Tribes and Tribes 2
And thats a good thing
Starsige tribes is from 1998 and still has 100's of servers :O

[ODX]

Too bad it probably won't be played much...or at all, online. If it was a CMT map, it'd be just as popular as Snow_Grove though.

.

You really should of just named it after CMT, even if theres nothing from CMT in it.

[Teh Ganon]

Holy shit keep cmt shit out of my bedroom. Classic maps are awesome imo. Good job arteen!

[supersniper]

I admit classic maps are the best but not that popular in the Halo CE community as a WHOLE.

[Lateksi]

I checked this map in my lonely lan and it's very good. I really like the parts where you're inside. Reminds me of a temple map from Shadowrun(the-newer-suckygame), also, it was the only good map of Shadowrun. I like the snowing too. I'm not going to judge this gameplay-wise for now, though. Just haven't seenany online games going with the new maps you released.. :(

[Invader Veex]

Been waiting for the CMT version of this map forever. I'm glad this got released at all. DL'ing.

[Corndogman]

I'm sure once these maps are on halomaps.org people will start to play them. a lot of people who play CE don't come to these forums so they wouldn't know about the maps yet. just wait for them to be uploaded.

Like Llama mentioned, noone's going to play it unless it has "CMT", "H3", or something like that in the title. Now, if CMT actually finished the MP mod instad of canceling it (and if the guy who was portaling it actually finished), people might have played this map.

[supersniper]

Well I do have a dedi up right now but before I put this map on (Because it really is good) I want to make sure that everyone downloading it will go on the dedi and play it. It is the FUN clan dedicated server BTW.

[Apoc4lypse]

This map looks neat, the layouts pretty cool too, I only wish it was more polished, would be amazing I think. Either way its very nice. It kind of reminds me of a map from Unreal Champion Ship I used to play on a lot I forgot what it was called though. Good job :)

EDIT: I guess the dedi isn't up anymore... bleh...

I wanna play one of these new maps but theres no servers for them.

[supersniper]

The dedi is up but I haven't had time to add the map. I will by tomorrow though.

[Masterz1337]

From testing this was byfar my favorite CE map ever. Can't wait to play this online. Although the inability to snipe people from acrosss the map with the laser makes me sad.

[n00b1n8R]

They'll just use it as an i-win gun like usual then :downs:

[Con]

releasing spree!

glad this finally got out, it was pretty fun.

[Sel]

ITs nice to see these maps helping to break the funk of bad maps that weve been living with lately.

Love you arteen :D

[Corndogman]

I love the map Arteen. It looks great and is really fun. i like the bases and the terrain. glad to see some good maps out finally.

[il Duce Primo]

Well I thought this video is nice. There are a few meh parts but there are a lot of nice parts that totally out weigh anything else and just blow you away of how much work went into the map.

Beta a released map?

Well, I actually do have an old (very old) beta version of this map. I probably still have the .map of it too.

[Corndogman]

hey, i recognize that base. its the one from the pre xbox e3 trailer that you used in that one map of yours. i even made my own version of it too.

[blind]

beta of your next map sweetie.

[stankpot]

yea me too beta

[bleach]

I'm trying to refrain from asking to beta. I remember a video about an old build of Vestige where there was the Apparition (aka. needler ghost) and the older Battle Rifle-Grenade from SPv1.

[Gamerkd16]

I found a glitch in your map. If you shoot the fuel rod it shoots one bullet. But while it is recharging if you rapidly click the mouse button, it will fire two bolts at same time once it's fully recharged.
Maybe it's already been found. I don't know.
