Rise Created by Solo & Sethiroth87 Recommended Players: 6-10 Supported Gametypes: MLG Three Plot, Domination, Team Slayer In my tradition of terrible puns and incredibly not funny jokes, there is never a shortage of material. I can go on for hours about how we are reaching for the stars, or how I got my halo when I was an angel. But this map’s namer deserves some serious praise; I could not think of a single instance of wordplay that could be used to get a rise out of you. I spent all day, from sunrise to sunset thinking of what I should say, but nothing would rise to the top of my head. It’s been terroriseing me for days now! So just for you, we have Rise. If you have ever played Modern Warfare II then you would know two things without a doubt. First of all, that game is simply atrocious and makes me highly question my sanity! Second, this map is ever so slightly inspired by one of the default maps – namely, Highrise. Thankfully it plays much better in Halo: Reach than it does in Modern Warfare II (because we all know how wonderful that map was.) This map is very good at what it does; play MLG Three Plot and Domination like none other. Solo XIII and Sethiroth have done a wonderful job in crafting this that in all of its glory with ramps, Overshields, Rocket Launchers, inaptly named Helipads, etc, one can almost forget that it was posted in the wrong section! Intentional manipulation of our forums aside, very few have done such a good job of creating a layout that is as good as this. It is unusually different in its use of surprisingly long lines of sight. Somehow, the two of them managed to create a well-designed 4v4 that feels like you can see almost the entire map at once, without making it a wide open mess. For this success, and the crazily hectic fun of MLG Three Plot, you should give this map a download. Solo and Seth definitely put their heart into this map; it certainly rises above the competition!

HOW FRIGGEN LONG DID IT TAKE TO POST THIS MAP?! Seriously, that map deserved that feature lonnnngggg ago. This map is amazing. And I agree, it plays a lot better then the one in MW2. Congrats you guys, this map truly deserved it.
Congratulations guys! I'm not a big fan of the block textures, but I am a fan of the layout. This played really well last night.
this looks sick.. i dont see anyway that this map could be inspired by high rise. but it still looks awesome. cant wait to play it with my custom game buddies. EDIT: so i just got done with a fly through.. i dont understand why there arent any neutral spawns. only red or blue. so you cannot do free for all anything on the map, red team vs blue team. fail. but otherwise this map's layout is bomb, very cool and nice to look at. also i somehow was an elite when i went into forge. (damn you roommate) and the teleporters wouldnt work for an elite. Reflex iron. i think you mean "makes me highly question my sanity." you have "makes my" =)
It's about goddamn-****ing-time. This map has finally risen from the masses, after so many weeks and months.
Yeah this really took a while to get featured. I saw this map soon after Reach was released. Congrats.
Most overdue feature so far. Got any more maps from the first couple weeks of Reach lined up to feature? lol
This map is more than worthy of the feature! This is a prime example of excellent craftsmanship and well thought of layout. Nicely done, if I ever seek professional grade playable maps in the future, I will be sure to look you up!
Very, very good map. I have only had the pleasure of playing it once but I could see that the layout was picture perfect, as were the spawns. The aesthetics are subtle and not overdone to boot. A well deserved feature.
Spoiler You to?! This map is well crafted, I've only played on a few times with small parties but it the games I played the matches had good player movement.
You've got the wrong Solo. This feature is very well-deserved. I've loved this map ever since I first played it just a couple weeks into Reach. Amazing job.
ahhh nice. this looks like such a clean forge, i dont believe i've played on it but it looks absolutely awesome. good work guys, hopefully i can get a game going on this soon, i love MLG customs. congrats. if you guys throw out another feature in the next few days i'll be a really happy camper. i love features, and lots of them. Get these good maps out in the open.
Quoted from October 14th! Yes, that long ago... and I still stand by this comment from last year. Grats!
