    Hello and welcome to my map, "Pulse". This map is completely symmetrical and consists of 2 levels. One is the main floor level, and the second is a four way bridge level that leads to the center of the map. Originally what I wanted to do with this map was make it big, but, it actually turned out to be small. This map has a few unique feartures, which you could probably tell from the screenshots. If not, DL and enjoy.

    Alittle about me: I've been forging since halo 3, like most people, but I've never had the courage to put my work online. I just liked to forge, I didn't care about what people thought about my maps at the time. As time went on, halo reach came out and I decided to buy it and check out forge 2.0, as some people call it. I was shocked to see what a great job bungie had done with 2.0 and I decided to start forging again. More time passed and I kept forging and forging and trying to get better, I would show my maps to my family and friends, but they didn't seem to be impressed. But, that's probably because they didn't realize how much work I put into the things I made. So, one day I decided that I should put my maps online and hopefully my hard work would be realized by the halo community. I know, I'm not the best forger, but I love to do it anyways.


    Special Thanks: I want to thank Paranoia_uk for helping me post my maps. I couldn't have done it without him.

    Constructive critcism and feedback is always welcome.


    Weapons:

    x4 Plasma Grenade
    x2 Needle Rifle
    x2 DMR
    x1 Energy sword
    x1Needler
    x3 Health Packs

    Thanks for the comment. I fixed the screen pic that somehow got deleted. I'm new so sometimes I don't do everything right, but I'm trying.

    LikeMike you go man, your on a roll. In the past 15 minutes, i looked at all of your maps, and every map looks great. I like your forging style, alot. The water, glass, aesthetics of your maps are great. I love the center of this map, with the walkways around the rock. And below, the glassed in part looks great. Keep these maps coming, I'd love to forge with you sometime!

    Its good to see your maps are posted up. Im glad we figured out what the problems were with uploading your pictures etc. I've downloaded and had a brief forge-through of them all. This map is my favourite of the four. It has a really strong Halo CE vibe going on and is very well forged.

    The map has little to no frame rate drop which is impressive due to all the windows and colours dotted around. Overall id say the map is great, there is nothing bad I can say about it. I look forward to playing so customs on it.

    Hello! You have been busy and have forged quite a few maps in a short amount of time. Your work does seem very familiar. I like this map, has a lot of protential. The green room is really cool, nice use of lighting and glass. The overall layout is good, not too much cover , but enough to get around the map. The eterior map picture is cool. I would add a pic of it :) .
    With the sword, I can help you. No one seems to like weapons placed fixed or phased as they float around map and cant be picked up once dropped. But is an easy fix and am happy to help you with that. If you want?
    Also I see you have a lot of budget left (4050) although map does look cool and well made I would maybe add some wall or floor decorations or perhaps some inclines and drops instead of the huge walls for floor. Nice work!

    Thanks for the comments, I was kinda anxious to post this map. I know it need a bit of work, but I wanted to go for something sort of plain but yet creative. It's not supposed to be the most aesthetically pleasing map. Also, I could use help with the sword with it's fixed position. I wanted to make it fair to all players and put it in the middle. One more thing, I didn't forge these maps in a short amount of time. I have had these maps for awhile, then decided to put them online.

    Dude, I'm liking this map! I love circular maps that revolve around a central room/platform (ie: Guardian, Lockout/Blackout, Wizard/Warlock, etc.). From the pictures the aesthetics look good (I like the use of glass) and it looks like it flows well. Nice job.

    I'm glad you like it, because I've 2 more map that revolve around the center of the map. My best work has yet to come. The next two maps are even better than this one is. Thanks again for the comments.

    This looks very interesting for a 2v2 map

    I am getting a bit worried about the chance of frame rate issues due to all the objects merged together and windows everywhere, but we'll see :p

    Queue'd for DL

    Thanks, Stevo. This map, as said by Paranoia_uk, has little to no framerate drop, so there shouldn't be any lag. Let me know otherwise.

    Very, Very nice map EightBall you have really outdone yourself with the aesthetics! One problem with the map i can see is the pulse at the top. It needs to be bigger so it looks more awesome!!!!!

    Overall: 9/10 even though i haven't even played yet =]

    Well, thanks Matt. I didn't think of making the "pulses" bigger at the time, but I felt it was unnecessary to make them any bigger. This map is somewhat aesthetically nice. But, I'm sure my next map tops this one. Thanks again.
