Map Description

    Been working on this one for a looong time and finally finished it! This is a re-imagining of solitary from halo reach. It's setup for slayer (use classic settings), ctf, strongholds, and oddball. A new spin on an old classic.

    10/5,
    A classic returns with an amazing twist! Managing to make an almost perfect and scaled remake of Reach's Solitary for classic settings, Arpod wisely uses a palette to give it another vibe and evade the feeling of reiteration, creating an immersive concept for gameplay and giving a new viewpoint to the unforgettable layout.

    10/5,
    This is so good! Coming from someone who focuses on natural settings (Jurassic stuff) and helping reskin Lockout... this is perfect. You truly captured such an amazing theme! Captive's aesthetics alone are what most forgers think their map will look like when they are done before they have to make sacrifices. The focus to small details is excellent, the lighting is immersive, and the theme is perfect. Even with the sanhelios pieces usually feeling safe, this is done in a creative enough way to have those pieces lose their obvious characteristics and give you and immersion most forgers can only hope for. Given the fact this is a reskin, I mostly understand how it will play. My only suggestion would be to figure out a way to make the ledges clamber-able for Halo 5 settings. 6/5 stars!!!

    I think you did an amazing job for starters. I’m jealous on your ability to use the nature selection from the tools. Great job to detail.

    Thank so much guys! It was a long process, but fun to make too. I like giving the old maps a new theme. Makes them fresh. Glad you all like it.

    I'll tell you what it's a good break from all those questionable mini-games popping up in the Maps section. Good work.

    Nice work blending the textures with the natural look of decay. Looks sweet!

    Absolutely fantastic! 10/10, just a heads up tho, there is a bit of z-fighting on the boarder of the first upper level on one of the bridges. On the top, looking sniper to sniper, there is a bush out of place, just off the wall a few feet! I spent a full slayer match walking around admiring this.

    Thanks for the heads up. I will fix the bush out of place And the z fighting. I may have overlooked it on my final run through before i made it visible. So glad you like the map though. It was fun to build.

    This is one of my personal favorite maps from an OG Halo game. As an artist, I can say that your decision to rebuild it with the vision of a decaying temple surviving the passage of time looks magnificant. Great, job @Arpod and keep up the good work. I'd love to see more creativity with the Sangheili pallette from you in the future!

    Thanks so much! I love the sangheli pallette and you will most definitely see more content from me using those blocks. Wish we had more variety of them but there are other blocks that compliment them if used right. I will have to see what creative way i can use them next time.

    Great map, however this is TECHNICALLY Prisoner from Halo CE, and Solitary was a remake of that.
