    This map was designed with a Narrows-type bridge in mind. It is inversely-symmetrical. I am fairly bad at Sketchup, so it turned out to be a lot larger than I had in mind, and when Reach comes out, I will edit the design to work better. Here are some pictures.

    Keep in mind that this map will be scaled down to about half this size when I build it in Reach. Comments and suggestions please.

    You definitely don't get that many of the huge wall pieces. I think you get 4.

    Honestly, it doesn't look like it would play very well. The very steep and wide inclines coupled with a large amount of open space would just ruin it.

    Yeah, and the slates ar $200 so you just hit the budget like 3 times over...
    Looks nice though, reduce it to about 1/2 or 3/4 that size and you'll be set. It would work better for just team slayer anyways...

    You get 50 Walls. The Wall, Colliseum is that big black piece.

    A more proper name would be Narrow-esque

    Thank you Mick and Coon, I had my Argyle's Fate Shot down from the sky by someone blurting out 4 only and 200 a pop. I looked it up using the list and some leaked footage, I know that to be false. Thank you for spreading the word.

    I also need to go see about finding that map from my recycle bin, I rather liked it.

    Anyway for this map, I feel it's a bit too high, I think really it should be more wide than tall, not certain though, and I was thinking you could make this in the gap between Alaska and Montana. You know where the gulch breach is? That could supply a similar area as the narrows and you could see how the distance is, I'm already thinking of ways to bring back Narrows (as I rather liked it) in that spot. It has the look it should be about the right size, and with the many versions of man cannons we should be able to reproduce the leaps of faith we had in the H3 version, only now imagine adding AAs to it, it seems like a lot of fun. I like the idea but that much open terrain leading up to the top of the map seems like you'd die and have death raining down upon you from that spot.

    Remake the sketchup with smaller pieces. If you don't know the scale of how big it'd be in-game, spawn a spartan and look at how big he is compared to the walls and stuff. He's such a small person in such a big world :(

    And if you meant to have it that big, ADD SOME COVER! How would you feel if someone had, say a sniper or a plasma launcher. YOU WON'T LIVE.
