    Hi This my Covenant themed map called Peril.

    My focus for Peril was to make a map that doesn't look all grey, but still plays well. Peril supports a lot of gametypes, but was made for 4v4 Teamslayer, CTF, and Assault games. It also plays well on regular slayer which I found out by playing some FFA matches.

    To start off here is a FFA gameplay video of Peril.
    YouTube - Reach Map-Peril

    Needle Rifle x4
    Needler x2
    Fuel Rod Gun
    Plasma Pistol x2
    Concussion Rifle
    Plasma Launcher
    Focus Rifle
    Plasma repeater x4

    And screenshots...
    Heres an Overview shot of Peril.

    This is the middle structure. The shields in the door ways provide cover, but also give off a covenant feel.

    Above the middle structure is where the fuel rod gun spawns. Fuel rod spawns every 3 mins with 5 shots.

    This is where blue spawns

    And here is Red base

    For both of the bases I wanted multiple ways to get in and out so both bases have 2 paths that lead you away from the bases and toward the middle, however if you want to take a quick, but exposed way to the middle you can take these elevators.

    And here are some other picture if you wish to view them.

    Nice to play a map that isnt just grey and white. I played it with some friends on FFA and it gets realy frantic. Great fun and very original. Also very well forged.

    An interesting map, to be sure. I like that you used the big rock from Pinnacle; not many maps make use of that section of Forge World.

    Also, aesthetically, this map is pretty nice, but there are a few too many objects adding "clutter" in places. Not a huge deal, just a tiny suggestion that maybe you ought to simplify things a bit.

    My only real complaint is about the Fuel Rod Gun... I find that it doesn't work very well in competitive maps (unless they are very large and open) because of its slow moving projectiles.

    Nice work. Keep Forging.

    Thanks for the suggestion and I was already going for a real simple map that just played well and got a little side tracked. For version 2 ill definately simplify the bases to make them less of a base and more of a weapon path where battles will go on.

    And about the fuel rod gun I really feel like its the main power weapon on the map and if I took that away the action away from the middle. Again more feedback not just on the fuelrod gun, but the map as a whole would be helpful.
