The Ark is a map which I need to play more. After playing several times, I'm still learning new things about the map.
The Ark is special because it creates an excellent competitive arena map experience, but still manages to feel unique and interesting (too many arena maps are merely old dogs that have learned a few new tricks). The asymmetrical qualities and thematic aesthetics of the map really help to set it apart, but the underlying design is excellent to begin with.
Good work, Fated. Thanks for finally posting this over at HaloCustoms!
