HR: Maps - Overlook

Overlook is the map that Network Test 1 (a.k.a. Generator Defense) is played on, the playlist that went live yesterday morning.  It is a medium sized, asymmetrical, outdoor map that pits Spartans against Elites.   Click for huge:



These are the locations you should be aware of:
  1. Spartan Spawn - This is where the Spartans start.  There are a couple points to choose from, but they're all basically around this base.
  2. Elite Spawn - This is where the Elites start.  Again, there are a couple points to choose from, but they're all basically below the river in this picture.  From the Elite spawn point, both Generators A and C are visible and hittable with ranged weapons.  Generator B can be hit from a perch on the hillside on the bottom right of this picture, reachable by jetpack from the spawn.
  3. Generator A: This is the hardest one to get to from Spartan Spawn and generally the one that falls first.  It should still be defended to tick time off the clock.
  4. Generator B: This is actually inside the Spartan base so is usually the last to fall.  Note that it can be hit from outside the base though, so Spartans will want to keep it continually locked down.
  5. Generator C: This is easily accessible by Spartans from a number of paths and has a chaingun mounted nearby.
