    This is my newest maps. Most of them are remakes of differents maps, campaign levels, and more. There are six maps in all. Enjoy.
    Stronghold
    This is my version of the upcoming map called Citadel. It is made for 2-8 players, and can be played on with Slayer, CTF, and Infection.

    Crossfire
    This is a remake of the bridge on the Halo CE campaign level, Assault On The Control Room. 4-8 players. Slayer, CTF, Assault.

    Facility 343
    This is a remake of the Halo CE level, 343 Guilty Spark. 2-8 players. Slayer, CTF.

    Deployment
    This is the remake of the hangar off of Halo CE level, Truth and Reconciliation. 4-12 players. Slayer, CTF, Infection.

    Extension
    This is a simple map made perfectly for CTF fans. 2-8 players. Slayer, CTF, Infection.

    Oh my gosh, the remakes look amazing, the originals don't look the best. Ill definitely download a couple of those.

    EDIT: I actually did a forge through with crackah 4 lif33, and while these maps look pretty good the floors are very crooked. this really comes from using walls as floors. you need to use blocks next time. also, sacred seems to have a ridiculous amount of power weapons, so you might want to lose a couple of them.

    Perhaps... it's not a good idea to release 6 maps at once.. It makes each level lose appeal. A better idea is to release all maps individually, but still label them as a "series of 3".

    Well I've always wanted to actual remake some of the great moments from CE but haven't yet. I'm gana take a look at these, hopefully I'm not disappointed, most remakes of CE aren't ever to scale nor represent true geometry and spacing of CE.

    the maps look like really good remakes i really like the hangar one for the middle walkway and the CTF one looks really good and very aesthetically pleasing.

    keep up the good work :D

    EDIT: wait i have just seen that stronghold map its even better than the hangar and looks really fun to play a match on 5/5 on every one DLing now :)

    I'm interested in seeing how a few of these play out. Truth and Rec was my favorate map as well as the Cartographor(wish you had built the drop zone portion of that level). I have a lot of memories of the bridge, and I'd like to see how territories played on it. I kind of remember it to be spaced further out, but that just maybe from the angle of the picture.
    I'll edit this later and let you know my impressions...

    seriously dude, all of those maps are built on the skill level of the forgehub staff and probably higher, they look so smooth and so flawless, the light falls exactly into place in every map, they all deserve a feature if not together with something bigger than that.

    My conclusions are that:
    1.I need to download these really badly
    2.OMFG %!@#@^&*%&*#$Ê (really thought through)
    3.you are either a forge-god or you have absolutely no life what-so-ever or you stole the maps, at any rate you rock for posting these jewels, amazing forging there, I hope to see more in the future.

    The CE remakes are fantastic, judging by the pics alone. I especially like Facility 343, I'm suprised noone has attempted to remake that area before. Perhaps if you were to do a V2, you could increase the overall size of the map (while keeping the same sctructure) and give both teams a Mongoose or put a single Ghost on the map as a means of crossing the energy bridge.

    Well i do have to say, i explored some of these maps and found them to be quite well forged. Exstension and Delpoyment to be were by far the best to play a good game of BR's on. Anyways i still feel that each of your maps should have more screenshots.

    Great maps. I love the remakes from Combat Evolved! Very nice!


    I would have to say my favorite would be either be Deployment or StrongHold. I tried to make a remake of that hangar but failed.

    I wonder if Citadel will really be that small... Either way, great job!

    I am trying to find some things to remake from CE too. Like maybe the Detention Quarters of Truth & Recon..

    Or like the First little section on the Halo 2 level:The Arbiter.

    5/5 Great work!



    EDIT: So far, Sacred seems to have the best gameplay, there are some MAJOR troubles though.

    The 3 maps Facility 343, Deployment, and StrongHold all have spawning issues. I played a 3 person FFA on them. Got a Killtrocity from spawn killing and StrongHold and even a Killionaire playing Deployment. So I went back to the Forge and saw that you placed a very little amount of spawn points on your maps, and you seem to have only placed like 2 starting points. I would suggest going back and re-doing those.

    Also, make the respawn times longer for your powerups and power weapons. I picked up on Overshield on Facility and like 10 seconds later another one came.


    Same goes for the Beam Rifle on Deployment. It spawned very very quickly.

    But despite all of that I still loved your maps. StrongHold was my favorite by far.

    Crossfire is for sure my favorite. It is a great for CTF.

    I actually attempted that before, I just never posted it, However my version is nowhere near as good. I'm trying to make multiplayer maps for all the best bits of campaign at the moment, I've got sevral underway but none finished yet. All of these look pretty good, however the bridges from assault on the control room had a bottom floor with crab ramps to get up/down (think of the bridge from narrows, but not curved) like in my version.
