    Yes! This was my favorite custom FFA map from Halo 3 :D One thing though, just from the pix, you should consider adding some lights. I know my biggest problem on H3 with it was that it was hard for newbies to tell where they were, because everything looked the same. Of course, on Halo 3, there were budget constraints that made lighting impossible. With Reach, though, you should light this place up

    Honestly i wish i could put in lights but they create a lot of screen lag. I hated having to get rid of the ones i had before but bottom sniper and pro pipe became unplayable with them there.

    Took you guys long enough.

    Anyway, I loved this map in Halo 3; it honestly must have been my favorite skybox map of any custom made ones.

    The asymmetrical deliciousness of it all...

    I think my spine is tingling.

    Son, I am disappoint.

    Anyway, downloading now; I can't wait to see how the DMR plays out on this map, along with the other differences that Reach has to offer. I am getting giddy just thinking about it!

    Well it was just me who made the Reach version, Goat has been MIA for a few months now. The map would have been out a lot sooner but the first version i finished got corrupted so i had to start over.

    I closed off 2 of the 3 windows at top Snipe to try and balance that area out, the DMR is just too powerful at longer ranges and everyone just camped Sniper before I closed off the windows. Pro Pipe 1 also has a few walls added to help enclose the first floor since it's a lot more open than Snipe 1 so now the map is a lot more balanced.

    Is that right? How unfortunate.

    Ah; I guess the DMR is much more consistent due to the no-spread aspect to it. Makes sense.

    Sounds good. I was only givin' you a hard time. :]

    I'm gonna run some 4v4's later on this today; thanks again broskie.

    I think I can help with your thumbnail image. But maybe you already know what I'm telling you. If while under edit you go to the advanced edit page, you should be able to insert your thumbnail image into the slot allowed. Hope this helps and isn't too vague. I've done it myself on my map Never Far, took a few tries to make sure I put in the right type of link, but I finally got it.

    played some casual 1V1 on this last night. The map still holds up just a well as it did in H3. The lines of sight and flow of the map are top notch, and i had a great time playing. The map is easy to understand and intuitive in its design. There is never a moment where you arent sure where to go or what to do.

    I really looking forward to getting some serious doubles games in on this map, it feels like it would be gorgeous for that. Great job on bringing this to reach man, truely awesome.

    Once again this map looks great! I'm gonna download it to see if it is just like Halo 3, which I already know it will be, but yeah!
    That sucks you could put lights to signify the bases, but I know it's fine....I wish Bungie would make it not glitch, but I know that will never happen XD
    Anyways great map once again!
