Video is a little outdated, some of the strange visuals have been fixed since then.

<cool story about map here>
This is my first completed forge map in Halo 5, and I think my first publicly released forge map ever, though I've been forging since the beginning.
I wan't to thank everyone who's helped with playtesting or anything else, there's too many to list, but thank you.
Started its life as 2v2 map, but didn't work out, so now it's a 4v4 slayer map. Plays well for CTF, though capture times can be quick, so you have to play pretty defensively. I haven't found a strongholds setup I like yet.
I've incorporated some things I like like:
Contrast (map has bright places and dark places)
Symmetry
A Bridge
Rocket in an open area in the middle
Lots of ice chunks (LOTS)
Lots of flag routes
A couple skill jumps
I will say that this map isn't intended to play like a lot of the smaller midship-esque arena maps with tons of verticality and super-fast paced gameplay. Hopefully it emphasizes teamwork and map control, though.
Also I like Halo 3 a lot. Hopefully it feels like a Halo 3 map.
