    Campgrounds
    Created by MickRaider & Bloo Jay

    Recommended Players: 4-12
    Recommended Gametypes: All Competitive Gametypes

    Grab some marshmallows, pitch your tent, tend to the fire. And sing about love and strum your old six-string in the cool darkness from dusk to dawn. Embrace the moment; this is the last bit of solace before reality is loosed upon you in the most painfully metaphoric manner conceivable. These campgrounds aren’t your typical park! Most of us can’t even find a good enough place to set up and camp for the night, but if you are lucky enough to find a manageable location you won’t be given enough time to set up and sit down. Campgrounds is a fountain of movement that flows ceaselessly until the end of time (usually about fifteen minutes, unless you manage to get those tricky flags sooner.) Guess what else? It has a Sentinel Beam too.

    Of course you must now be wondering, “How is the accurate Quake remake with perfect flow and a Sentinel Beam not a winner in the bygone Foreign Treasures Contest?" Well, this map used to be holier than Swiss cheese in the Pope’s underpants before MickRaider and Bloo Jay made some much needed renovations. Now Campgrounds can also boast that it’s as waterproof as the poncho you wear when it gets wet, along with all of those awesome traits it already claimed. And those marshmallows; since you’ll be dying you won’t be eating them I presume?

    What the-? Are we featuring ALL the Foreign Treasures runner-ups now?

    Lol, jokes aside, this map is IMO pretty feature-worthy. It's balanced, aesthetically pleasing and is very accurate to the Quake 3/Live map. Congrats Mick & Bloo.

    The first time I saw Campgrounds I was like: "Oh hey cool, wait, you guys did what?" ... Okay maybe not, actually I was like: "...This is that one map from that one game!!" --- I recognized it instantly. And when you're restricted to dirt blocks, that can be difficult to achieve in a remake. But no joke, I've thoroughly enjoyed every game I've been able to play on here. Ah loves it.

    I really do enjoy this map, it has such a unique playstyle that you don't get too often in Halo anymore. I only wish that you had taken the time to clean it up a bit; there are so many little bumps and rough edges that could be fixed so easily. Although, you guys were pressed for time, so I don't blame you at all. And what makes so much more impressive is the fact that it wasn't budget glitched. Excellent job, and congrats on the feature.

    We tested extensively and found absolutely no way to just "Fall" out of the map. Show us where you apparently did.
