Hey everyone, this is my first serious attempt at a competitive forge map. It was heavily inspired by Lockout, as it was my favorite map in Halo 2. I didn't have a plan when i started out making it so i kind of just took it one step at a time and it evolved into a small to medium sized map very reminiscent of Lockout or even Guardian. I tried to take that time to make it all as aesthetically pleasing as possible and to make sure all the pieces fit together properly so that you wouldn't find any "bumps" when walking on the map. I started out in the coliseum area of Forge world but then about half way through realized that this was a map entirely in the air, so instead of moving it all out of the coliseum i just placed a kill box at the bottom, so dont fall off! Power Weapons on map: Rocket Launcher, Sword, Sniper. I made it so that either team would spawn near the sniper or rockets but this may prove to be a balance issue. I tried to give the sniper some advantages like the long tunnel but on a smaller map like this rockets may still dominate. Sword is in the wide open middle part and can be fought over. I scattered various DMRs and Needle Rifles as well as some plasma grenades on the map. Here are some pictures: This is where red team spawns and at the very end of this hall there is the rocket spawn. This is the long tunnel and roughly where the sniper spawns. In the middle of the tunnel is a ramp leading down to the wide open middle of the map. Here is a view from the middle of the tunnel looking towards the sword spawn and the big platform beyond that. And of course an overall view of the map coming from just above blue team spawn. If you want any more pictures just let me know, still not shown is the area under the sword spawn (similar to bottom mid of lockout) and some other areas of the map. Any feedback on spawns, one sidedness, weapons misplacement or anything else would be greatly appreciated. Let me know what you think.

You will probably want to rebuild it outside of the coliseum. I imagine people are going to think they can jump off, lol. Anyway I'll DL it and try to get some custom games going. Will edit with any feedback I have.
Thank you very much, and yea lol i know its just the amount of work required to do that is a lot so i just want to see what people think of it right now and if it gets some recognition i will work towards moving it outside.
