   Hello fellow forgers!
   
   This is Turbulent, a re-imagining of a map I have made in previous Halo games. It's a custom, arena-style map set atop the waters on Alpine. The goal here was to make something that is fun to play; No more, no less.
   
   Now you might be thinking that so many power weapons is a bad idea. You'd be right, but every strong weapon in the map is in a position that will be contested by other players, as well as having less than average ammo and longer than average respawn times.
   
   I was very hesitant to put the Binary rifle at the top of the tower, but after much consideration, I've come to the conclusion that it will (probably) not be OP. Why? A few reasons, such as the respawn time, the amount of cover and the constant fear of someone coming through the teleporter to assassinate you.
   
   The man cannons on the roof of each base act as a shortcut to the center of the map. This will be very useful during CTF and Stronghold (which I only added for the hell of it). Why not use this route every time? Well if you do you will draw attention to yourself, have limited cover and skip a lot of weapons. Also, other people will be doing it too, which will likely lead to a hilarious cluster eff in the middle.
   
   Despite the appearance of the map, getting killed from out of nowhere shouldn't be a major concern. All 4 ranged (non power) weapons are close to the middle and only have one spare mag. Plus, as stated a few times already, there's a lot of cover. the longest stretch you will go without cover is if you take the aforementioned shortcut to the center. Speaking of which, some keen-eyed folks may have noticed the railgun on top of the cylinder thingy. If you get the timing right, you can dive bomb or aim and coast to it near the end of a boost from the mancannon. Also, dive-bombing to it from the top of the tower is fairly trivial.
   
   
   Thanks!
