    STORY

    The UNSC and Covenant forces are at war in Forerunner territory, an ancient gorge known as Valhalla. Each base is equipped with a wide selection of vehicles and weapons of the species the base belongs to. The last men standing take the land. Be careful.

    Supports CTF and Team Slayer only!



    INFO

    What's up! This is my second map on Forge Hub! My first map didn't go so well, so I decided to try a competitive map instead of a casual. I actually made this map a long time ago when I first got the game, but I've been playing around with it recently, and it's really fun. I hope you guys like it.

    The map's concept is the "humans versus aliens" approach. Basically, both symmetrical bases have a variety of UNSC or Covenant weapons and vehicles. When one weapon or vehicle is placed in one base, it's equivalent is placed in the other. You might think this would cause poor balance (which is what I thought), but it actually works really well.

    The map is designed for 4v4 or 8v8, but others would work, just not as well. Only play CTF or Team Slayer on it. I haven't even touched the other gametypes, so they would be really dull.

    One last note before the pics; each base has two teleporters. The one actually on the base leads to the center of the map, and the one behind it leads to it's sniper/turret tower. I noted this because it can get confusing for noobs. :p

    um, all you did was edit the bases on Valhalla? I know you said you made this a long time ago, but all this is a variation of Valhalla... in my opinion there is no creativity here... 1/5 no DL

    I agree with Arvas, all you did was change up the bases, At least put something in the middle. Also for the Covenant Base, you should put the wraith on the actual land, and then the switch the machine gun turret to a plasma cannon. And like I said before, fix up the middle do something with, instead of just changing the weapons and vehicles. 1/5

    wow, you guys are mean.
    it's a map he made, maybe he just wants to show it for fun. And at least he's willing to forge on a map other than sandbox or foundry! I doubt he's expecting a feature from this, so he made a map for fun... is this a reason to attack him? No.
    though they are right about one thing. maybe a little platform in the middle? just to spice things up a bit. I like the turrets. are they aesthetic or reachable?
    but I like the UNSC vs. Covie feel to it.
    3.5/5
    it's not perfect, but at least it's not on foundry/sandbox!

    THANK YOU! Exactly my point. And the turrets aren't asthenic, you can use em.

    Do you get to the turrets with a teleporter? Anyways, I would get rid of the normal hornet if I were you, mainly because it dominates in the air. I don't think the wraith should be in the water, and even though you don't have to it is advised that you give a weapons list. All in all, satisfactory. I realize you made this a long time ago, so at the time it may have been a good map although now, it's below normal map standards, even for me. Back then, I may have given you 3/5, but it's not a new concept of human vs covies, and you may have gotten some more dl's had this map been posted before the heroic maps came out.

    EDIT: The title of the thread has to be the same as the actual map. I'd change it before you receive an infraction from a mod. Although I'm not sure how to change it...

    There's a good shot that this map beats out as many as half of the Sandbox maps on here. Because while those people were wasting away hours interlocking boxes, this person (hopefully) put some thought into gameplay. There are some inconsistencies; the gravity hammer is covenant and the machine gun turret should be a plasma cannon on the covenant side. I have it downloaded because unlike others I actually play Halo (Why are you here if you just post spam without playing the maps?) and I'll see if I can get a game in. If not, a forgethrough.

    i like the alien vs human theme but there will always be a balance problem. (tanks better than wraith, hornet better than banshee, there's really no good alien gun good at destroying vehicles, and so on). therefore i would consider this a casual map.

    but if you put some of your better players on the alien team i guess it would be good. 3/5
