"Once home to gods, this station is now the location of one of many battles in the galaxy" Olympus is the result of my anger over a lack of, and hatred of a few, maps in Arena. After getting madder than normal one day, I set out to solve this problem. I was determined to make a fun map that worked well with arena along with objective gametypes. The result was this. This map is set up for everything excluding invasion & Race. Its fast-paced, and can become quite fun. It works for both team and FFA, although I didn't try out multi team. Both side are armed with a sniper and a pro pipe in the middle. Most action takes place in the center main layer and outer arms. Not much important happens in the center main layer, but the outer arms are the opposite. They leave players vulnerable, primarily from DMR fire. However, they are the location of the sniper and provide a quick route to the enemy base. From the outer arms you can jump onto suspensions that "hold" up the outer arms. These lead to the top center which is just about the deciding location. Finally theirs the bottom which is the location of the propipe and two man cannons leading to the main area. Enough with my chatter, unto the good stuff.

Has a nice looking layout. The aesthetics are pretty nice and I like the way the two buildings look. I'm not sure how this map plays out gameplay wise(yet at least) but it looks like a pretty well designed map. Good job.
I like how the main attraction brings the whole map up. I like how you put an underground section. Looks Nice
I really like the layout you have. I'm gonna download this once I get home. Hoping for some nice flow throughout.
UPDATE: Played the map. It had some really smooth gameplay. The man cannons in the middle were MUCH more useful then expected. The out parts of the map were great to pick off people with the DMR or Sniper. It's a pretty fun map to play. I wouldn't mind seeing it in matchmaking (unlike cliffside or atom -_-)
Agreed I agree that the underground part is cool, and it looks like a sweet map! But I really have to ask Informist, what is that thing in your picture. I've seen it all over the internet and I have no idea what it is, except that it has to do with Halo 3.
