Windward is a remake of the classic Firefight map Windward from halo 3 ODST. Although this is not a 1:1 remake, it is a faithful recreation with some changes to improve the original map for halo 5 multiplayer.
This is my first official map in Halo 5, and I started making this map since forge was released in Halo 5. It took me a long while to test the map, as I don't have many friends who play halo 5. It's not perfect, as location volumes are absent from this current map, I've spent long enough on making this and want to move on to other projects.
I may revisit this map in the future and adjust it for infection, but until then, the only updates this map will receive are minor gameplay adjustments. I would appreciate any feedback possible, and I hope that you guys can find enjoyment from this map. If there are any major mistakes in the map that effect the map negatively, I'll fix it as soon as someone presents the mistake to me.
Thanks to Duke of Mearl and Pineapple Rocket for helping me test out the map while it was in beta Stage.
