Being new to smaller competitive design, I got involved with the 1v1 design portion of the Halo community to understand what they take into consideration when creating a level. I came to understand that spawning and map control were vital to a solid 1v1 experience.

Being asymmetrical in design, I tried to find ways to include symmetrical aspects within Flux’s asymmetrical layout in order to create a form of ying-yang gameplay, that would keep players dancing around the map in quick and easily accessible routes.

For instance, the Hydra (a Halo 5 power weapon) and the On-Map-Power-Up spawn on opposite sides, in risky, and exposed locations, divided by lanes of segmentation, so that players must traverse the map in order to control both.

Thematically, my goal was to give the geometry a gritty, cliffside mining facility theme, looking out over a large vista that would contrast significantly with the dungy and claustrophobic artificial interior.
