    Anathema

    [​IMG]


    Hay guys this is my first map that I’ve posted onto Forgehub that i had done in Halo reach. I wanted to create a small 1v1 map with a simple layout but enough going on to keep it interesting. To be fair this was accomplished during the hours of 11:20 at night too 2:00 in the morning. As you can imagine I was incredibly tired but was happy with the results. After play testing it several times I have discovered that the map is in a constant flow and camping is truly minimal.

    Anathema was part of a forerunner research station into the local geometry and magnetic disturbances that had affected communication equipment. This led to the station being forgotten about as no contact could be made in or out of the station. The local inhabitants then decided to try and dig their way out of this cliff side research station but unfortunately were caved in soon after digging commenced. The remaining survivors returned to the main complex in hope of rescue that never came. After thousands of years the station has slowly stopped to work and all systems including the power supply has ceased and even the elevator has stopped working. You are now trapped here too but only one can escape this death trap. Who wins is all down to skill.

    Map has two Dmr's, two pistols and 1 grenade launcher. It Also has two sets of 1 frag and 1 plasma.

    Nice map.

    This map looks awesome. I'll download it when I get a chance. I usually don't download unless the map is one of my favorites. Good job.

    Im really glad you posted this, AJ. It's not often I get to see your creative spark in much a large dose. Even though this map is a 1v1, it never felt too enclosed. I thoroughly enjoyed play testing, and I'm glad that the issues raised in your first play test were all fixed by the end.

    For those who haven't yet downloaded the map, I would highly recommend it. The aesthetics are great. And it makes all of the areas of the map look different, making it easy to traverse the map. Furthermore, the gameplay felt perfectly suited for a 1v1. I loved how the Grenade Launcher is exactly 10 seconds from each players spawn at the start. Even though the map is asymmetric, you gave a lot of thought to balancing for both players.

    Wow, this map looks pretty cool. I'm amazed that you could make this asymmetric map work and prevent camping - I suck with asymmetry!

    Good aesthetics and good gameplay. Key to any successful map, well done. ^^

    What the..? I thought I commented on this Aj..My bad. Anyways, after getting some games on this, I have a few things to say. First, The layout was simple to understand and didn't confuse me at all. Second, the aesthetics were awesome, especially the elevator. Third, the weapons weren't overpowerd at all and seemed to fit the map well. Overall, I'd say this map was really well-forged and had many pathways to go. Keep it up man, I'm lookin forward to more of your maps.

    PS: I left a nice message on your profile ;)
