    Story:
    This facility was the birthplace of Roman Industries' top secrete "PCII Project". Now it is home to the quarrels of rebels.​

    With Reach right around the corner, (only days from now!!!) I wanted to release at least one of the maps I've made over this past year. Though I have been with Forge Hub for quite some time now, I've never really posted any of my maps. So here is one of my latest maps that I have finished.

    Beta Complex is a throw back to one of my very first forge creations in Halo 3, and may seem quite familiar at first sight, and it should. Long before I got my LIVE account, I created a map that enclosed the inside of the defender's base on Last Resort. At the time it was very small, had way too many power weapons and grenades and I'm certain, only a gem in the eyes of my friends and myself. With the release of Sandbox, I had always wanted to recreate Beta Complex and I finally did. Although this is a recreation, it is not to scale and there are many differences. My goal was to capture the original feel of my first map and recreate it to be a bit more balanced and fun.

    The final product is what you see here. The area is small and meant to be played with 3 players, but can support 4. (I wouldn't go above 4 players, I just don't think the map will play well at that number but if you feel like trying go ahead, it's your choice.) Designed for FFA slayer and King of the Hill, this map is great if you want to have a quick game or two with your buds before Reach hits shelves. My recommended gametype is KotH, as that is where the action is intensified.

    Enough of my blabbering on about map history, which I'm sure no one cares about. Pictures!!!

    Here is where the Sniper spawns. (120 sec respawn - 0 spare clips) The warthog is there more or less for aesthetics. There is also a Teleporter that leads to the balcony. (not viewable from this angle)

    This is the balcony, a feature in the original which allowed players to spawn away from the battle safely but was a place no one could get to. There is a Teleporter that leads here and a lift in the back.

    Rockets spawn in the back area. (180 sec respawn - 0 spare clips)

    Well, that's Beta Complex II for you, perhaps my finale Halo 3 map. I wanted to post a video of the map but never was able to finish editing it, so you'll just have to live with the pictures. I know. *sigh* I hope you all enjoy Beta Complex II as much as I enjoyed making and playing on it. and in case you missed the DL link up at the top, here it is again.

    Wow, that looks pretty good it has a very good use of merging. But I think the warthog is kind of pointless/OP. I'll have to DL looks like a fun slayer map. But maybe a weapon list would be nice, or where the power weapons are.

    What a great map. After downloading it and checking it out, I thought that the layout was just pretty freaking cool. I like how the middle of the map was almost like a kill zone, and players would have to make a tactical choice of running through it and risk getting killed, or maneuvering around the side and staying in cover. I bet this would work great with assault of capture the flag. I'm upset/disappointed to see all of these great maps coming out in the final days of Halo 3; they won't get the recognition they deserve. Good job on this one, though.

    This is a very fun map. The forging isn't amazing, but it is very good. As I walked around the map, I noticed that it is an almost exact remake of the interior of the defenders base on last resort. I personally love this idea because I tried to make an FFA map in that area on last resort once. Love the referance. (please reply if I'm correct)
