    " You have been called upon to serve" Said Dr Halsey, addressing the nervous children that sat before her.
    This is my interpretation of a room from the book Fall of Reach.

    [​IMG]

    The Amphitheatre was a room the spartans only saw twice. Both times their lives changed.
    Here ive tried to create as smooth and detailed a room as i can. I particularily like the centre podium and ramp leading down.

    [​IMG]

    I embedded a man cannon within the podium because the way they glow makes it look really cool.

    [​IMG]

    Apart from the main room, i created a corridor leading to it. For this bit i bothered to colour code the boxes. I didnt do that for the rest of the map because i would have either given up or gone insane.

    [​IMG]

    I made a nice feature running along the centre roof using barriers which is quite cool.
    And before anyone says, this map is supposed to be all about the interior. I know the outside looks very similar to a ship but i assure you that it is pure coincidence.

    This room is purely aesthetic. It might work as a playable map, though there is a lack of cover for the most part.

    I have a question: Is it playable? It looks purely Aesthetic. Regardless it looks damn good for the whole theater look, nice.

    That first picture blew me away. It looks absolutely stunning.
    I've loved your previous efforts, I guess this is another notch on your belt as a top teir aesthetic forger. I inquire the same question as danI, can we play some matches on this or is the map the equivalent to an Ace and King? (<-Poker reference)
    Either way, I can't wait to have this grace my TV screen.

    Wow. It's great to find such an epic aesthetic forger. This is simply amazing. Aesthetic maps that pay attention to such detail are hard to find. Your creations have always been far above average. (The "UNSC Frigate" link in your sig goes to the thread for "Loft", by the way.) I am definitely downloading this. Keep up the great work!

    That looks amazing. The only way I could see it being playable is if you add a few more corridors and some cover on the outskirts. Either way 5/5. The only thing I dislike is the bridge, it would look nicer upsidedown.

    It looks great, well forged, neat, clean and looks like an actual amphitheater. HOWEVER, :p i do feel the need to point out that the said amphitheater was underground, so those windows on the top kinda spoil that. Though its well forged and i have downloaded it and plan on doing a walk through =D

    Nice job. It really shows that you put your time and effort in making this. For the map in general I give you a 5/5 stars for everything else...well...the same pretty much.

    Yes i fully realise it is supposed to be underground. HOWEVER lol, If you go on the map you'll realsize that i have completely run out of objects
    It was a choice between energy walls or barriers. I tried to keep it underground in essense by puting the barriers on the top, though i know it was supposed to be DEEP underground this is the only way i could finish it.

    When I first saw this my heart kind of stopped! It is one of the most asthetic beuties in halo 3. I think this deserves not only 1,000,000 DLs, a feature, and a 10/5, but maybe even money. I like it that much. Can I use this for my machinima please?

    personally if you ask me, this Is Machinima only map. But an exelent one at that! 5/5! the only way to make this a combative map would be to allow people ono the roof, but anyways, wow, i read this part of the book, and its alot better then i imagined, (alough smaller) this is better then anything i could ever do! forget 5/5, it should be 10/5, i have dowloaded most of your maps and i enjoy them, Keep up the exellent work!

    When I saw this map, I just sat there with my mouth open, staring, I immediately downloaded and looked. To my utter surprise, you can walk UP the theater seats, I was like, OMG my life is complete! Anyway, This map is really uber. The interlocking is just... wow... and everything else is just... wow... I have to give it to you man, using my secret connections, this map is gonna be featured!!! Anyway, the only thing I can recommend is to color code the boxes :), and turn the ramp upside down that leads to the podium. Also, I see you have a lot more money left, so maybe you could put some weapons and cover on it, so I can do something on it besides drooling.

    This map would actually be good for people who like to talk on halo3, and instead of sitting in a party they can sit in a room built for it lol

    Very nice map, the first picture blew me away. It would be cool if this was used for announcments lol

    I've gotta be honest, this is one of the best aesthetic maps I've seen in a long time. Only if the objects weren't so limited nor was the budget, then you could definitely expand on the map and make it fully playable. Great work!

    Beautiful! I love it. You are a brilliant minded forger and I don't blame you for not color coding the rest of the map. Do I have your perrmission to make it playable or will you do it and have me wait? This is magnificent though. Can't wait to see it in person.
