    Hello forgers,

    I tried making the famous Taj Mahal, which is built in Agra, India.
    But I did not want a map that is an eye-catcher only, so I turned the interior
    of the building into an awesome battleground.

    I just want to let y'all know that this is the first time that I have ever made a map in
    Halo, so don't flame me. I hope you'll enjoy playing on my map.........


    Let's see some screenshots:

    An overview

    The elevator shaft and the two bridges that lead to the roof

    I'd like to get some feedback,

    Thanks!

    Whoa oh ho! This looks really cool! Can't believe no one has thought of it yet. The aesthetics are great, and I like how you can actually play in the inside and it's not just an outside map. I love the door arches and the top ball thing's look pretty nice for the objects you get in Forgeworld. This looks like a really good first post, you actually followed the rules! Good job, and welcome to ForgeHub!

    Nice! I tested it out with friends, and the thing i like most is the center grav. lift.
    thank god, this map isn't only for viewing pleasure, but also has the option to actual play slayer on it.

    5/5

    very cool.
    i'd like to see this turned into a competitive design.
    if you can find some of your aesthetics that you can afford to delete,
    you could use the money you gained from that to add some cover and small bases to the outer area.

    I know this won't happen, but titmar is right about making it competitive. You should have definitely built this on the ground somewhere, that would save on building a floor and that combined with the removal of some aesthetics would give you the budget for bases, weapons and vehicles if it needs be. But rebuilding this somewhere else might be a big task and I understand that you might not be up to it.

    Amazing map aesthetically of course.

    wow.

    aethetics and playability. This may be one of the greatest rookie posts ever. I also like the roof area, as it splits the map into two fronts which balance each other out. The top has easier access to the bottom, but the bottom can have more cover.
