    Gaza

    Created by: Zombievillan

    Recommended Players: 4-8
    Recommended Gametypes:
    FFA Slayer, Team Slayer, Odball, KoTH


    The community prepares for the next installment from the Halo series. Forgers put their last touches on their final Halo 3 creations. Their Halo 3 forging careers slowly come to an end. Meanwhile, one of our favorite forgers, Mr. Zombievillan, adds yet another map to his portfolio. Our newest architect dazzles us once more with his latest map titled Gaza.

    Gaza is a fitting name for a crypt map set in a temple-like environment. The map shows off some unique aesthetics which break away from today's maps' molds. Gold pillars and archways are placed throughout, giving the map its own feel. In addition to its trademark appearance, smooth forging allows Gaza to be a location of its own. The design itself provides a solid layout great for competitive play. This gameplay is not limited to one type but expands to encompass all of Halo's great styles. An array of weapons promote many different encounters from the normal BR battles to elaborate power struggles for the best weapons. Players of all types will be pleased to have a few matches on this map, but it's definitely something worth holding on to.

    I don't really like any of the maps that are featured now they get very boring very quick. It annoys me how they are putting maps like this now. The aesthetics and ideas are cool but after a while the maps don't really feel like they were worth the DL

    You know SenorFluffyBuns, playing a map more than once is how you actually appreciate it. So when you've played a map 50 times and understand it then you can complain. Like how you can complain Epitaph because you've played it 700 times.

    If you have something you feel is more worthy go right ahead an nominate it. We look at every map brought up.

    I was wondering when this would finally get featured. The couple games I played on this were FFA snipers and I must say it was definetly a pleasure even with that gametype.

    Congrats Zombievillain, he's an architect now correct?

    Theres probably one in the original thread.
    I didn't even see this map before, but it's a well deserved feature based on aesthetics alone. Hopefully I can get some good quality games in on it tomorrow.
    Congrats zombievillian on being our 5-6th(?) architect.
    Edit*
    Do you have to post that on every featured map?
    Proof:
    Gophers on your lawn - Proximity - Shipment - Pinball - Halfghan - Shipment (again, in the same thread, not even on a different page)

    Congrats! Usually I hate everything, but I must say I played a few games of FFA Fiesta on here and had a blast. Nothing blew me away, but I liked how everything came together into an environment. It is clear you know what you're doing :)

    I think I played this map during the Foreign Treasures competition, It was pretty fun although I don't generally play competitive maps so I can't really give a good comparison but it was alright except for one part was a little confusing and awkward for me when I played it.

    Anyway good job on the feature :)

    Congratulations Zombie, you truly do deserve this one. Gaza looked and played incredibly... There's so much gold... Cowboypickle would not approve. :D

    Edit: Congrats on Architect as well, I didn't see that one coming...

    I didn't think those auto features for the 1v1 Tourney actually counted towards feature count. Least that's what I remembered. If I'm wrong apologies and congrats on Architect Zombie :)

    This map is one of the sickest ive seen and this is a download for sure. I like the merging and hardwork put in the map and you are honestly a pro.
