    Funded by the covenant government, a band of traitorous red Spartans attempt to retake this tactical Forerunner Headquarters.

    Welcome to H.Q.
    If you haven’t guessed yet, this is a Covenant vs. Human themed map. Although H.Q. is not intended for actual Spartans vs. elites, teams will be challenged by some minor terrain and weapon differences. The map is for the most part symmetrical, but the covenant side is all steel, and the human side is made up of a lot of grass and stone (the pictures will show this better than I can explain). Also, the covenant base spawns with 4x needle rifles and 1x sword whereas the human base spawns with 4x DMR and 1x Shotgun.

    H.Q. was inspired by a map I made on foundry, were I utilized the “U” shaped canvas. Teams spawn side by side separated by a wall//building and must trek forward, navigate around//through the buildings then head back up toward the other base.

    I haven’t done much testing, but in my experience, 4 vs. 4 Team Slayer (2x teams), Multi Flag and Team Oddball (2x teams) play the best here.

    Test it out yourself , if you think more game types should be added or something should structurally be changed, let me know, I will be happy to make a v2.

    Neutral Weapons:
    1x Sniper Rifle (2 min respawn)
    1x Rocket Launcher (2 Min respawn)( 0 Spare Clips)
    2x Needler
    1x DMR
    1x Needle Rifle
    12x Plasma Grenades
    6x Frag Grenades
    1x Active Camouflage
    1x Drop Shield
    4x Health Packs

    Human Side:
    1x ShotGun (2 Min Respawn)
    4x DMR

    Covenant Side:
    1x Energy Sword (2 min respawn)
    4x Needle Rifle

    I am really impressed with this map. It's very smooth, and I would recommend downloading it! But on a side note, you might get more views if you use an image for your thread picture.

    This map is very nice. Great mix of aesthetics and gameplay. Some unique structures that go well with your map color and some balanced weaponry placed as will. Will give it a dl. Did you consider making this map work for invasion too or no?
