    House of Horror was originally a map crafted in Halo 3. Built in October 2009, I had plenty of time to see, distinctly, what worked on the map, and what was broken and unfair, between then and Halo: Reach's release. With Halo 3's clumsy forge tools, I didn't feel the motivation to fix such problems. Fast forward to Halo: Reach. With the new and improved forge tools, I saw the opportunity to fix and create, ultimately, a great map. I rebuilt House of horror from the ground up, utilizing my knowledge, and tweaking some areas to be more fair. After much work, I give to you...

    A labor of love, this map has always been special to me since I first began building the Halo 3 version (Post Here: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/casual-maps/88919-house-horror.html). I felt it was a perfect canidate for coming back to my Halo Reach map list. Enjoy a taste of the map in this video.

    *Views expressed in quotes are not nessecarily reflective of my views.

    On to the meat of the map:

    The House of Horror is a two floor house with an attic, garage, and patio.
    It is quite fun with a lobby of 6-12 players, though the map works from 2 to 16 players.

    The first floor: An open foyer leads into a back room, the stairs, and a garage.

    [​IMG]

    The second floor: After entering from the patio, first floor, or attic, you'll find yourself on the second floor, a close quarters combat zone, with walls and doors dividing the place.

    The patio: This outdoor platform allows you to enter the second floor, or grav-lift to the roof.

    Back door: Self explanatory.

    Here's a full walkthrough:
    YouTube - Halo Reach Map - House of Horror 2.0 Walkthrough

    House of Horror 2.0 works with the Default "Infection" mode, "Safe Havens," and the "Braaaains Plus" gametype on my fileshare.

    (In Halo: Reach Main Menu)
    1) Press Start.
    2) Go to FILE BROWSER
    3) Then, go to NEW CUSTOM SEARCH.
    4) Go to FILE SHARE SEARCH.
    5) Search for my Gamertag, "Insanmiac."
    6) Click on "House of Horror 2.0" and choose DOWNLOAD.
    7) (Bonus Step) Download "Braaaains PLUS." The default "Infection" mode works pretty well with the map, but "Braaaains Plus" also works pretty damn well with the map. Also, make sure you set it so there is at least TWO OR MORE STARTING ZOMBIES for any gametype you play on this map.

    OR

    Download on Bungie.net in the dowload link attatched at the top of the post.


    Download and happy zombie hunting!

    It looks good, the trailer was impressive, and I'm short on Infection maps for the moment (Meaning I don't have 700 of them yet :/) so a definite download, and I cannot wait to play it with my friends.
