Halo 3 Map - Odyssey
I was very involved with the Halo content creation community from 2010 to 2015. In total, I spent around 1000 hours building maps and game modes. I included this in my portfolio because building these maps taught me a ton about game design and inspired me to seek a career in games.
In this Halo game mode, one team (the humans) progress through three levels in which they have to defeat the players on the opposing team (the monsters). All human players start in the same place with a sword and can walk around the map freely while monster players are stuck inside the three levels of the game. The humans have to kill all four players on the monster team before time runs out to win.
The first level of the game is a dungeon. Human players on foot fight against monster players that are inside a giant scorpion.
Players on the monster team spawn inside the scorpions head and stinger. They shoot rockets and lasers at the players on the ground.
Players on the human team have to climb the structures in the far corners of the dungeon while dodging attacks from the scorpion. On top of these structures, the humans can to find grenades that they can use to kill to players in the scorpion.
After the scorpion, player fight a minotaur (a monster player armed with a hammer) in a maze. The minotaur is the only monster player that can move within their area.
On the last level, human players use planes to fight a monster player that spawns in this dragon's mouth. The dragon player shoots homing rockets.
