	Hello and thank you for downloading my first public map, cubix.
It is in the alpha stage of development and I hope to have feedback to
improve the map. My Name is Thomas Betterly [I play Halo PC / CE online
typically as [BAM]Shadow]

The map should support all game modes.


--------
Note to people  who handle new maps on http://hce.halomaps.org:
--------

Less an an hour after I uploaded the original I had figured found and fixed 
the capture the flag game mode problem in the original, cubix.zip.
The reason I've uploaded the fixed map as new_cubix.zip rather than
otherwriting cubix.zip is because I did not think overwriting one's
own map in the upload folder was allowed. If you are considering placing
my map, cubix, on your website, consider this version over the original please.
Also, delete this section from the readme also. Thank you so much for collecting
all those maps into one place.

	Thanks to these people for stuff they put on the web for 
	without them doing that I could not have made this map.

Background Story for entertainment purposes only and an attempt
to make the map more interesting
-------------
	On a remote part of Installation 03, 2 life pod crews crash land
in a strange, arena like place. Their communication equipment was destroyed
uring the crash landing. Several months go by and hallucinations set in and
the survivors managed to record and set a playback message on the damaged
sound systems in case they were ever found.
	A Convent transport ship carrying war supplies is trying to evade
Cortana's laser cannon fire from the Pillar of Autumn. One cannon blast connects,
blowing open an unoccupied cargo bay, causing a Wraith Tank and a prototype cannon
to be lost over the same area as the 2 life pods.

Contents of map
------------
The map itself is textured with a low res moon texture and is about medium size. 
For a map size reference point the standard maps Longest and Blood Gulch are small
and large compared to cubix, respectively
 
It includes the following weapons on the map itself:
Sniper rifle
Needler
Plasma Rifle
Halo 1 Pistol
Assault Rifle
Battle Rifle
Energy Sword
Shotgun
Flamethrower
Rocket Launchers
CPS_Fuel_Rod_Cannon - a prototype being developed by Covenant
		    - to replace the Fuel Rod already deployed
		    - in battle. It forces twice the normal amount
		    - of energy into each shot. It also includes 
		    - energy saver equipment so that the battery is
		    - not drained at double the normal rate because of the
		    - increased strain. A draw back with this prototype
		    - is it has a tendency of exploding, possibly kill-
		    - ing the user, if fired while overheated. The project is likely
		    - to be scraped by the Covenant
		    - :)


Vehicles:
2 Rocket Warthogs (default on every game mode)
2 Banshees (default on everything except CTF)
4 Ghosts (not default - you have to specifying turn on ghosts
	 to have them in the game)


Errors in map:
The non-standard weapons (Battle Rifle, Energy Sword, CPS_Fuel_Rod_Cannon) don't have
a unique string for them (ie 'You picked up a Battle Rifle', 'You picked up an Energy
Sword', ect... I do plan to fix this in an update

Email feedback and suggestions to improve 
the level to CM10thFan@aol.com, please.
