    <br />Impend is my submission to the 1v1 contest on Forgehub (smackdown); it is an asymmetric map inspired by the design of areas (the grated-upper floors) in the "Halo 2" mission, Cairo Station.
    Weapons:
    <em>Power weapon: </em>Overshield (90s)
    <em>Power weapon: </em>Sniper Rifle, no spare clips (60s)
    <em>Power weapon: </em>Assault Rifle, no spare clips (60s)
    Plasma Pistol (30s)
    Plasma Grenade x2 (60s)
    Frag Grenade x2 (30s)
    Needler x2 (30s)
    Brute Plasma Rifle (30s)
    Plasma Rifle (30s)
    Battle Rifle x4 (30s)
    Covenant Carbine (30s)
    SMG x2 (30s)
    Magnum (30s)

  1. Cool design Stone. I felt it had a few flow and scaling issues that held it back but it's still a really interesting and fun map to play.

    I haven't played this enough to feel comfortable giving super specific feedback. I think this and Finale are both close to being good maps (and for reference, I consider probably less than 10% of forge maps to be good). I hope you continue forging because you have the potential to do some good work.

    I like how you build asymmetry into what are essentially symmetrical designs. It shows a creativity that many people lack. Of your two 1v1 maps, I definitely prefer this one. It has a more interesting layout. It's very cleanly forged. You have interesting structures that make areas identifiable. Your play spaces have depth, through both major and minor elevation changes, though I definitely think you could've pushed the envelope by adding more major elevation changes on this map. I love the fact that you can push the crate off the platform (5th pic above). On its own, it's a pretty uninpactful detail, but it shows that you put a lot of thought into the map.

    Can't wait to see your future projects.

    Thank you so much for writing a response. I look forward to continuing in forge in H2A but I am on the fence with Halo 5.
