Haunted Coast Created by ThrowinDemBows Recommended Gametypes: Infection Recommended Players: 8-12 Welcome to Haunted Coast; our recent winner of the second Not-So-Annual Hub of the Dead contest. While most of you are already well acquainted with this spectacle of forge mastery, we still haven't gotten to give this map its full due. So friends, that is why we're here today. Everyone sit back and be prepared to pick up your socks after the show. When I first saw ThrowinDemBows' Haunted Coast I knew I was a witness to something special. It may have been the way the smooth curves of the rocks arched upward into the heavens as if they were praying for some higher power to save them from their fate. It may have been the settling of the violet dusk, which caused me to doubt the shapes and shadows in the distance. Or maybe it was the single, lonely and forgotten structure; a cruel reminder of my fate. Cruel indeed, for it was my lingering gaze upon the wonders of this map which soon had me respawning in 3...2...1 Now the coin was flipped. No longer were shadows something to fear, but rather they were prey to hunt. Rocks now invited me me to traverse their slopes; ready to spring me into their air. Most of all: I was no longer a part of a dwindling, ruined group of survivors. However, I was still respawning... For some, it might be the purple hue of the map matched with the serene coast of Tempest. For others, it may be the almost indistinguishable forge pieces from the natural geometry. For the rest of us, if nothing else, it is playing Infection on a nearly flawless map. Haunted Coast is a deserved contest victor, a deserving Feature and most of all it deserves to be a Matchmaking entrant. So everyone give Bows' your support and cheer for him in his conquest for Matchmaking! Download Haunted Coast You can view the original map thread by the author here. Want to see a map featured?

FINALLY! A feature that's not in the Throwdown (minus Of Legions). This is feature worthy, even though there is not much to the map. Good luck in MM, Bows! Edit: What do the stars on Bows's Artisan rank represent? I'm sorry if this is spam, but I'm just curious.
Shouldn't Bows have a star on his rank? And this feature was one of the most deserving to date, IMO. I would absolutely love to see this in matchmaking.
Yeah I actually want to apologise about the lack of non-Throwdown maps. With 2 old school juggernaut journos back on board along with our refreshed compliment we're working on bulking up feature output as well as other front page content. Gratz to Bows as well. You're one prolific map pooper and no mistake.
As soon as I get back on halo I'll definitely be playing this as zombies is my favorite Halo custom game and I've heard a lot of good things about this map.
Not that the map isn't enjoyable to play, but the map is basically just half of Tempest with a filter on it, set up for infection. That does not scream "feature" to me by any means.
