    I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Halo 2’s Colossus so I decided to make a revamped version of it for Halo Reach. I know their are some great remakes already out their but I wanter to make my own version of it to make something fresh. Nothing was more satisfying then to work together as a team on Colossus and be able to captures the opponents flag. Though the map is not one of the largest, it is by far one of the most difficult maps for objective game types. This feature of Colossus has not been left out in my very own creation: “Aqua.”

    Aqua contains the same similar foundation as Colossus but features new aesthetics that have formed a unique and beautiful map. I’ve even added in the bridge that is only present in slayer game types to open up routes on the map. I really am looking forward to finalizing and releasing this map here on forgehub and I really do hope you guys do to. As for now the map is in the testing phase so that Aqua can offer the ultimate aesthetics and gameplay nostalgia of Colossus in a revamped design.

    Just got done helping playtest this map and it plays well. Sides are balanced perfectly, only took half the game to figure out where the sniper spawned right in the back middle. Plays almost better then Colossus and every thing is well placed with no major z fighting anywhere that I noticed. Also love the addition of the bridge for non-objective.

    Hey, ya this looks similar to colossus. I would only add some additional decorative selections to some of the open areas. I can only assume it plays well seeing that it is a remake. thanks for the build!

    I added some pretty benches to by the front of the bases if that counts! :D

    But I like it being open in the front because it's a risk reward area for team objective game types (mainly flag) and besides, I don't want it to be overly claustrophobic! I need to finally post this map up because it has been tested plenty and runs amazing! The only reason I've yet to have the chance is because of work and my focus on revamping my map Slants which is turning out pretty good right now but I am currently running into problems due to the budget and lack of items.
