    Never liked the map honestly, but I actually would love to play on your version, don't know why, but I like yours better, might be because it has some color now unlike the Reach version XD

    Thanks man, yes, the colors and aesthetics make a difference. Feel free to add me and invite for customs. I've been forging since Reach, but just recently trying to jump into the community and find others who like to play customs on remakes of classic maps.

    Having played it, its way to small. Not enough room to move. It needs to be Alot bigger

    Pulse grenades need to be more sparsely placed amd not in twos

    Thanks for the feedback. When you say too small, is that in general or just specifically for halo 5 mechanics? I could see how that could possibly be the case if it was the later, but I feel that, Halo 5 abilities aside, it feels like the original. If you use thrusters a lot, especially while jumping, then yes it's going to feel small because like me you're going to be falling a lot. Again, I appreciate the feedback, but would like to see if more feel the same way before I make any significant changes after so much time already invested in this one.

    No its to small to move around on just walking. Player collision boxes are bigger as a whole now in Halo 5 So areas need to wided as a result. The maps is to tight across the board. A 1 for 1 remake is just too small path wise. Theres just no dancefloor to strafe on.

    I can see where you're coming from. Just from a forging stand point though, when laying out path widths, I generally went with 24 wide blocks. While that seemed closest to me, if not slightly on the tight side, 32s were too wide (IMO). It would have been nice to have like 28 wide block for this map, and asside from phasing a ton of blocks together to get a more comfortable fit while staying true to the flow of the original layout, what would have probably WAY exceeded my light budget. But again, I was sure this wasn't going to be one for everyone. This map is definitely suited for specific playing styles, and if you're primarily a strafer, this one probably isn't going to do it for you. I did have some enjoyable 1v1 matches on it though.

    Really? That's strange. So have you played mine. I'm really interested to see if you still think mine really needs to be scaled up in order to be enjoyable. Again, this is not a great map for thruster pack while jumping, but for me it really did feel like a Halo 5 re-skin of the original in reach. It's probably one of my most memorable multiplayer forge maps from reach. I did a remake on Halo 4, but never got much excitement about it and and that probably has a lot to do with the fact that 4's forge palate is almost nauseatingly stale. I'm hoping to bring back nostalgic gameplay with this one.

    Was looking at your map and it seems like you put the spawns in the place that they are in infection. Slayer spwans are different .

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm not the greatest and laying down spawns on maps, but I've had many people play it and haven't had any reports of issues with spawning.
