    Like I said, maybe a good 1v1 map. I think it would play to this maps strengths.

    Beleive me guys. I played this with 5v5 and it played really well. Every1 liked it.
    I also balanced the map with weapon placement, with as you guys say, that the attackers have an advance for spawning up top.
    For example, less grenades for the top and an overshield at the bottom.
    I also made the flag spawn, 1 level above the defenders spawn for better gameplay.

    And beleive it or not, but this map is better for somewhat larger party's rather that smaller ones. The best amount of people is proably 8 or 10 peoples.

    Oh and btw, this map is a flag game, therfore it's a competetive map.
    Slayer would give the attackers a majour advandice, so that's why it's ONLY sutable for a gametype like this.


    So whatever you guys say, the balancing problems have been resolved in long time testing with allot of my friends.

    Play the requierd gametype and you'll be fine :)

    Jup. That name was made for more than just clone reasons.
    I made it with JR Eramthyn, but the author says: TympanicMetal, that's why we made two tags for the map, IN the map :p.

    wow dude, amazing concept = amazing map. sweet job on this, the guardians would be proud ;). that's pretty much all there is to say, i dont think anyone could have made a better 7-themed map. congradulations on being awsum. if I were YOU i would submit this to bungie because it might get published on the front page.

    True that. There aren't as many great ideas like this. But I think the initials could've been taken out. Or are they the forger's signature? I don't know. But from the side it looks like a perfect 7. And on the inside of the 7 it's not just thrown together, it has a surprising level of detail and depth. 10/10 originality, 8.5/10 for the otherwise rest of the map.

    Wow! This tread you've made looks really great!
    It's funny that you also put my screenshots on there, with my name on it.
    I hope to see this map in matchmaking any time soon.
    Great map ofcourse, and also VERY original, haha.

    5/5, see ya online playing some custom games.

    Im not going to lie when i downloaded this map i thought it was going to be great, but after playing about 3 times it just stops being fun. Its good fun for a game or two but not anymore.
    Design: 8
    Playability: 6
    Aesthetics: 7.5
    Overall: 7.5

    It looks like an awesome map and very original (you made it in a 7!) but unfortunately you did not follow the rules.

    Map Posting Rules

    1. Threads must include at least one picture of the map.
    2. All pictures must be embedded.
    3. Download links must lead to a posted map on the bungie forums, NOT your fileshare. [In this case, your "One Flag" gametype]
    4. You must include at least a brief description of the map.
    5. Thread titles must consist of the map name ONLY - no other symbols, comments or irregular formatting.
    Failure to post your map correctly will result in a topic lock after 1 hour in the absence of a fix.

    Oooh... the gametype. Why didn't you tell... whait what!?

    Ehhh.... where you looking at some other tread or something, because there's is NO link to my fileshare whatsoever!
    And you also reffer to my: ''One flag gametype'' link, when there isn't a link at all! It's just a description of the gametype it's self.

    ANd also, i have a legit download link that leads to the file, that is on my Fileshare, so not it won't lead you TO my fileshare.

    I really don't get what you are trying to say.

    Failure to post your complain correctly will result in a failure lock after 1 hour in the absence of a fix :p

    Yes, exactly, you did not have a gametype download. If you mention a gametype, you must give the download for it, not tell us what to put -.-. And it was really hard to read your post, you really need to work on your grammar.

    Edit: I tried out the map with the gametype I made, but right after it started it ended. I think your map may be broken or something.

    Like everybody else here, the only word I can think of to describe this map is original. I can't say how the map plays (although it looks very unique, therefore fun), but in terms of originality, 10/10.

    Wow, when I first saw this I though it was much smaller and wouldn't be playable but when I saw the gameplay I knew it was. I love the height differences and its a 7! A fricken 7! It being so original helps to :p. Overall 4.6/5

    Ooooooooooooooooh, so that's the problem. Well i quess i have to upload a gametype then. I will take off the description and put a gametype anytime soon.

    In the meantime, i will add another youtube/renderd video (i already uploaded the video before reading this, so the gamtype get's on here tomorrow) proably....

    Ooh and also, i refreshed the map download, and it's not broken anymore :) The last one didn't have any flag spawn points for some random reason.

    Thanks for the comments so far!

    umm, is there supposed to be a special gametype? i would think that you can just use the original One flag gametype THAT COMES ON HALO 3 :O i never would have guessed!!!!

    Originality gets 7/7
    I think you need to add mancannons outside the seven facing up. This way you can send grenades up to the top level. It compensates for the height advantage that the top team gets.

    No it actually won't. I've set the spawn point perfectly along with the spawn area.
    So no spawn killing in this map.
    It's also not as easy as it looks. Getting the Flag may be easy for some people, but getting the Flag to the top, almost always ends in a tragedy.
    So it's actually pretty hard to score at all.

    Also, i added and extra overshield for the people that spawn at the bottom.

    Have fun with the map!

    Question: All gametypes supported?
    Question 2: Doesn't it seem a little unbalanced that one team has the high-ground?

    P.S. downloading...
