Halo CE Non-Race Maps #1

This is my first in a series of posts about Halo CE maps that are not for race. Some perhaps could be made into race maps but none of these currently support race. I would love to play around on these, either CTF or KOS or just messing around.

Room Final


This is an efficiency apartment with a kitchen, living room, and front patio. It has teleports to take you up on top of the furniture as well as ramps to drive up on the couch. This could be a fun slayer map. It wouldn't make sense as a race map. It might be okay as CTF if it supports it. I haven't checked where the hills are for king of the hill, but it could be good.

Toys in the Warehouse


This is another map where you play a toy-sized MC. This map is the inside of a warehouse full of boxes. Some of the boxes are open and boards make ramps up and down. There are mouse holes and pits in the floor, as well. I love this map but it would be a terrible race map. It's a great sniper map.

WPITest


This map is the campus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It's nicely done, though not complete. The main courtyard and a few other buildings are detailed, but many are still blank brick. The map is primarily an outside map, though a few interior spaces are detailed as well. Teleporters take you to the rooftop sniper posts and tunnels take you underneath. It doesn't look like they'll ever finish it, but it would be a nice race map. The map has a web site where potential modders could contact the authors.

Solitude


This is a nice, medium sized map that takes place on a series of structures suspended over a long drop. The map is visually appealing and has lots of places to go and hide. It might make a decent race map, but is probably better for other game types.

Soli Deo Gloria


This is a large outdoor map with cliffside bases with tunnels and ladders. A middle structure provides some cover, as well. The existing race takes you out of your vehicle and up into the bases but it could probably be modified for a good race. It would also be a good CTF or other map, as well.
