Halcyon Created By: Fritzster Recommended Players: 4-8 Recommended Gametypes: MLG TS, MLG King Mr. MLG is back in action with his newest project, Halcyon, and it's glorious. Were you a fan of Amplified? Well this is nothing like it, so I guess that's irrelevant. Fritzster steps into a whole new and unfamiliar world; taking on the challenges and benefits of Sandbox forging. A Transforger project that spanned the last year, Halcyon has some real dedication injected into its bones. No one can say it better than Fritz himself so: Wow, that was easy. I guess I should do this more often. Anyway, despite my cheap cop out, Halcyon is truly a testament to what a powerful Forger can do with the best Forge tools Halo 3 has to offer. As Halo 3 winds down, it is important to show your support to maps such as this and remember what made it such an excellent game.

Fritzer is a true "Architect" He has what i think to be the most impressive line-up of gameplay-enriched maps and still continue to pop out matchmaking-worthy maps even after not as many people play halo anymore. now THAT is impressive. Gratz to you fritzer, and your abnormally gifted brain.
Wow, there certainly seems to be an increase in the amount of map features lately... I like it. Halcyon has a wicked design and layout. I love how you pretty much covered the entire crypt floor, great job on budgeting it. Congrats on the feature Fritzster.
WOW just such an amazing map and beautiful geometry, too bad you cant have the filter you used to edit the images it makes it look mystical
Fritzer, how you make me envy you and your work. You are truly an artist and a gifted individul, and yet you seem to poop out epic creation after epic creation, oh how I envy you so. Congratz on yet another feature my friend, hopefully you follow the trend with reach's forge.
I don't know why, but I had a feeling this map would get featured. Besides the fact that Fritzser made it, the map's name just sounds like the kind of map you'd see on Forge Hub's front page. Weird... Anyway, onto the map. It's incredible. It tends to be hard to achieve both stunning aesthetics and smooth gameplay in one map, but Fritzser hasn't failed to do it in even one map. This map especially. The map size is perfect for MLG, and the multi-level structure works perfectly for BRs. The map has cover, but not too much, making the gameplay flow smoothly. The merging is top notch and the map was (evidently, from the video) well planned out. In conclusion, Halcyon is one of the best MLG maps ever made, and a definite download for all players, weather they're "MLG" or not!
IM glad we are out of that spree of no featured maps. I dont know about this with a new feature every 5 days but alright why not. Im glad this got featured, ive had some fantastic custom game experiences on this map. Fritzster you win. Its because he is a goddamn mastermind.
Yeah I was thinking the exact same thing. I remember getting on Forgehub to see if there was a new map only to have my realize that I had my hopes up for nothing. And yeah I knew this map was going to be features although it did take a while.
Another well-deserved feature, guys! I'm liking this new frequency of featuring map. Perhaps I'm one of many to blame for this demand of feature frequency?
Well deserved feature fritzer kinda over due if ya ask me , lol. Anyway I like the idea of more features considering reach is around the corner.
This map is da bomb. When I first downloaded it I played it so much that I just couldnt stop. I find this to be one of my favorite maps to play MLG TS on just because I find everything to be balanced perfectly and the design is great. Love that lift btw.
Ladnil's comment was completely fair, and I'm afraid it is you who's missing the point. Just like our decisions to Feature, this thread is for discussion about the map and not the creator, much less questioning the Staff's motives for Featuring in general. Whilst I think (actually, 'know' would be better word) your assertions are unfounded, we're not trying to deny anyone a voice. But this thread is simply not the place for it, and discussions about general map Featuring do detract from what this thread should be about, what Fritz has done with this map, by going off topic on a thoroughly negative note. If you really want to pursue this point, please do it here, in the proper place. However, I think you'll find that this isn't a new criticism, and will be met with the same plainly contradictory facts that chrs posted. As for this thread, let's keep discussion where it should be, on the map itself.
Sorry, that was my fault peg. Anywho, I deleted that discussion, if anyone would like to continue it please follow the link at the bottom of the post. Lets get back to discussing Fritzsters map kthx
Well I think the map is great! Can't wait to see more from Fritzsters! P.S. - Sorry for the argument. Just really frustrated with everything in general.
I was not impressed with the quality of forging on this map. I haven't gotten a chance to play it, but the area around custom worries me.
Really just because hes Fritzser and every new map get featured. This map is SO unclean and game play is really mid leveled. I did customs and after the first game they were begging me t switch the map. Dude really this forging was sloppy and don't even get me started on Ignite. Dude your REALLY overrated.
Personally, this map isn't quite for me. Aesthetically its ok, but nothing very special. Gameplaywise I only had one game on it so far, but I wasn't screaming omg godly. I was a little upset about this one since Fritz's past maps have been pretty good. This maps forging quality just was not impressive. Sorry to be a negative person here, but just thought I'd express my thoughts. Anyway I'll try to get another game in on it soon and hopfully It'll change my mind, but I'm not counting on it. Congrats anyway Fritz, You are a good forger, and I hope your next map will be better than all the rest, but until then, I'll be going back to Regicide.
