    Phase 1- Disrupt the Com Dish: Arial Combat

    Good map, i did a forge through and spent some time on your final stage. I couldnt resist a good jump around on the large building. I found a really quick route to the core point, not sure this was intentional but i thought i should let you know anyway.

    Also from the other side of the building where the banshee spawns its possible to get onto the roof. Again not sure if this is intended.

    Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Yes there is a quick way to get to the bomb site. The last part is assault and from play testing the close route is there to put pressure on the defenders. It also discourages energysword cmping for the defenders. Prior to that the spawns were further away and it made it too easy for the defenders to reset the bomb. The defenders have energy swords so it was only fair to give the Spartans a slight advantage otherwise the bomb would reset before the Spartans had time to re-aquire the bomb at least one more time. What my friends and I found out soon enough was that It brought plenty of action into the building. Also you'll notice on the picture above, that with a sniper on the gate walkway, the attacking Spartans can gain intel on enemy movement as well as sniping the elites camping the bombing hallway.

    I don't mind anyone getting on the roof as it doesn't give either team an advantage. Because the building is closed off from all sides on the 2nd floor, most of the action will take place on the stair side or gravity lift side. Also the gravity lifts are a dead giveaway for attackers.

    Hit me up online if you have a party going to play the map! It's plenty of fun. The different strategies involved on the map will keep this map fun to play.

    Wow, this looks crazy. It looks really thought out and is probably a bunch of fun to play. I like how the battles seem to get less epic as you progress through the mission, as in you start with aerial combat, then ground combat, then advanced to infantry; but it actually gets more hectic.

    I'll send you a friend request so we can play customs sometime, I actually want to check this out ;)

    Thanks! I made sure there are plenty of fun combinations and strategies for both defenders and attackers.

    Thanks! Forge is great, but it would have been better if Bungie made a better way of delivering custom content. Including adding thumbnails with map content and organizing custom maps just like this site. The guys on this site had the right idea. Everything is neatly organized by category and it's easy to find great content. Also it would be great if Bungie made a button ton find people playing a custom game or a specific custom map.
