The Courthouse is an aesthetic map for Halo 5.
It takes inspiration from Ace Attorney, a videogame made by Capcom where we are lawyers and we need to defend our client in courtroom.
If you are familiar with this series, you will notice this map is strongly inspirated by it. There are 4 main rooms:
1) Courtroom: The biggest room. The defense attorney and the prosecution may take their own place. In the middle, we have the witness bench. When you join the room, if you go to the right you will find a long hallway. This will bring you to the entrance for the guests and the judge.
The guests may sit in their chairs. While for the judge he has his own place, in top-middle. Also, you will probably notice that the judge can grab a gravity hammer (as gavel) and can choose 3 music you can select whenever you want (in way to look like Ace Attorney. Unfortunaly, Halo 5 forge doesn't have a lot of music).

2) Lobby: Here defense attorneys await for the trial.
This room is inspirated specifically from Ace Attorney Investigations 1. You will find the classic sofa, two guards, a window behind, and a miniature of the courthouse.
Also there is a background music, just like in Ace Attorney.

3) Rest Room: Two vending machines and two tiny rooms.
If you know Ace Attorney Investigations, you should know what happens in one of these two rooms.

4) Toilet: This was probably unecessary, but i love toilets, so i had space enough to make it. Here you have 4 WCs, 2 sinks and a Hand dryer.

You can play it with friends in free-for-all or 4 vs 4 (but i admit i never tried if it would work). Of couse it's an aesthetic map, so don't take this map too seriously for shooting the others.
Also, there is a way to go out from the courtroom. I think it will be easy to understand how to go out if you 'investigate' the map.
Once you're out, you will find some experiments i did in the meanwhile, like vehicles, weapons and so on. Just for fun.
I hope you like it. It's the first map i share with you.
