    "City Streets" is an urban map built around the idea of a city block. Each building is enterable, and most have several floors with lots of windows to shoot out from. The entire street level is raised above the ground, so you can actually move from building to building using this underground route if it gets too crazy above (the underground area is also a great spot for losing a pursuer while in a vehicle).

    The map was built with team slayer in mind, but I've taken the time to add all gametypes so you have some different options. Each one plays slightly differently because I placed objectives in different locations. In the Invasion mode you can even blow up a few of the buildings, removing part of their geometry. Since there are few weapons on the map I'd recommend setting up some custom classes. Here are a couple gametypes you can use for this map:

    Team Slayer:
    Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details
    Invasion:
    Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details
    One bomb Assault:
    Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details


    I realized some people would like to tweak the map with changes they'd like to see. To help accomadate that I made a version of the map with a slightly less expensive large building, and used the extra money to throw down some cover. At any rate this could be considered an alternate version:

    Bungie.net : Halo Reach : File Details

    ... I am speechless. This is one of the best maps I have ever seen, in any game. Made by anyone. I thought surely that the insides must look like crap, but they look good too! This is the best representation I have ever seen of what forge 2.0 can really do!

    Downloading now. Ever since Halo 3 i've really tried to make a good city street/block map but never had success. I always wanted to make it for Infection. Humans can hide in various buildings, etc. This one looks great! I will check it out and post a critique later.

    Finally you finished it! I really really need to get some good games of big team and invasion goin on. The fact you took so much time to make different versions and kept delaying it to fix it up, makes me feel that it will play well.

    i think he posted a preview a while back.

    this map is pretty sweet though. im interested in how you implemented invasion into a normal looking cometitive map. you definately got my download, as an urban map would be a pretty sick change of pace when playin customs

    Here's my critique, remember this is just meant to help and not to be negative or insulting.

    1. Framerate issues up the wazoo! So much going on that when you enter/leave the map or sometimes even turn a certain corner you start freezing up until the city loads.

    2. Lots of your ramps aren't very fluid and simply traversing a building means you need to find the ramp, run of the jump, jump at the top of the ramp to the floor, etc.

    I just couldn't seem to find my bearings on this map at all. No matter where I spawned, I couldn't figure out where I was and ended up dying pretty quickly. I love the effort you put into it but I couldn't see myself enjoying playing on this again. All the buildings are built very well but when it comes to actually using them to their full potential (scaling up multiple floors, killing people across the street) I feel it falters because its so much effort for you to try and find the right places to jump and find the right ramp to where you want to go, only to sometimes have someone spawn in the same building as you and kill you immediately.

    For some strange, ridiculous, reason the thread singing your praises is only 2 pages long.

    An entire forum site could be dedicated to how stupidly amazing this map is. I would love to see what you could have done with this with a few more thousand in the budget.

    An inspiration, quite literally.

    The aesthetics of the map look great, and have earned my download as well.
    BUT
    i'm more concerned with this post than the rest in the thread that are singing the map's praises.

    the one person who has actually offered anything constructive to say besides "omg its city its so great 10/10 havent played it yet though" has given some minor negative feedback.

    to me, the issues this person points out are gamebreaking.
    i'd like to see a V2 that addresses these issues.
