    Project X
    Created by: Shad0w Viper & Tex

    Recommend Players: 4-8
    Recommended Gametypes: Team Slayer, Multi Flag

    Nostalgia. The feeling known to those who find a home playing on Project X. A classic map from the era of forge when interlocking and geomerging were used only when completely necessary, result in gameplay taking precedence over aesthetic values. Perfect balance is timeless, and thus why Project X has aged so well over the past several months.

    Project X is a superb example of symmetrical equality. Comprised of an open expanse separate by articulate cover that breeds quick and competitive based gameplay, Project X's two mirrored bases face each other in the ultimate flag standoff. Movement is fluid with cross map mancannons and multiple pathways, allowing for unique experiences every match. Project X is a testament that great gameplay can be achieved through only necessary forging. A diamond from an age gone by, this map is an inspiration to those hoping to achieve objective superiority.

    Oh wow Shad0w, you weren't kidding. This is where I congratulate you for getting a feature, though Project X should have been featured long ago.

    Well, congrats.

    WOW, this is a good example of one epic map. The interlocking and geomerging is fantastic and the architecture is stunning. When playing this map it feels different. If you ever need a map to show you who is a better player this is one of them. Project X has an extremely basic design that was built upon until it perfectly incorporated elevation, angles, and long lines of sight. However this map still has its simplicity to back it up.

    Having few faulty spawns or weapon flaws it plays very well. However it has some interesting jumps and ways of getting around from place to place. or example stacking crates is a more exciting way of interlocked bridge ramps. Now most forgers wouldn't bother to respect these small "un-important" details. However, it is the small things that make a great map perfect.

    Implementing he man cannons into gameplay is another game changer. One could take their legs and try and stay unseen or they can take the shorter yet more dangerous path through the air. Overall there is not many mistakes in this map except for small flaws in geometry where the open boxes could have been slightly Geo-merged. Although this might not help with gameplay much it is a tiny improvement and it would improve this maps overall aesthetic quality.

    How did this JUST get featured now? It well deserved it the second it came out.

    Great map, probably one of my most favorite team sniper/multiflag maps of all time.

    Whoa, this is a golden oldie. I thought it had been overlooked. Congrats, fellows.
    I always thought Project X played exceptionally well. T'was the top of it's class in April. I'd been getting maps from FH for some time after the first Bungie spotlight and I particularly liked this map. The feature is belated but very well deserved.

    Congratulations on the feature Shad0w Viper andTex! Although a very old map, this definitely deserved feature a looooong time ago! Very nice use of mancannons with that whole, fence wall thing! Loved the symmetricalness (LULZ) of the map, and I can't wait to download it (Again)!

    Looks like the moderators are running out of maps to feature if they are featuring maps this old! Great job Shad0w Viper and Tex. We all hope to see more from ya guyz!

    Iz got yo shoes Tex!

    This map is awesome but wtf? This was one of the first maps I ever downloaded long long ago. I don't even remember how long ago I downloaded this map. For some reason I always enjoyed playing Spies vs. Mercenaries on it as well as awesome 2 flag games. This map is extremely epic. If it's not BGed you should submit it to atlas.

    Wow, this map is ancient and it is just now getting featured!? That is sort of odd but it deserves it I guess.

    I still have this map on my hard drive from way back then so I won't need to be downloading this. Great job though on the feature.

    Yes yes, everyone knows the map is very old, but i think its fun to look back at how forging has evolved. This map was great when it came out but the fact that it is still terrific almost a year later shows that this very delayed feature is oh so worth it.

    Uh wow... I never thought that they would actually feature this map. I knew it was worth being featured, but I never thought that they would. Nice job on this map guys, and congrats on the feature. I really enjoyed CTF on this map, and 1v1 was pretty nice as well.

    This is just now getting featured? Haha, I always thought this was featured already.

    The project maps are some of the, if not, the best maps I played on Halo 3. Really, truly fantastic work on both your parts. I was never able to conceive how all your maps were so perfect.

    Great write up, chrst.

    Woah, this was posted 10 months ago. I think it is kinda odd that it would be posted now, but it is still deserving. I always wondered why it had never been featured. Everything looks nice and as chrst said they only used interlocking and geo-merging when necessary.

    Lol everyone is asking the same thing: Why was this just featured now?

    I regret to say that I have never played a game on this map. Well, now I wanna try. This map is really a symmetrical beauty with very few interlocking. Next time, I would hopefully get a CTF game on this because I want to experience how good this is. Congrats on the feature.
