The Waterfall Club

"Although it was approved as a recreational establishment, it has since become a hotspot for more unscrupulous endeavors."



I'm relatively new on Forgehub, and this is my first Halo: Reach map, so any feedback or suggestions for improving my map would be greatly appreciated.

This is the Waterfall Club, located in that little nook beneath the cliff next to the waterfall (hence the name). It's a pretty sizable building that incorporates a bar on the 1st floor, some platform space on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and a spiral walkway ascending to the highest floor. Easy movement from floor to floor is provided by several lifts (with the exception of moving from the 3rd to 4th floor).


It's a predominantly vertical map, so if AAs are being used, a Jetpack is preferable in most cases.

Cover is abundant on the bottom floor. Four bars, several tables, two balconies, a small rock garden, and an elevated circular walkway are the most prominent.

On the 2nd floor, the VIP room and the inner platform provide the most cover.

The 3rd floor is the smallest, and safety is more easily found by dropping a short distance to the 2nd floor.

The Administrative floor (at the top) is a pair of large rooms connected to the central spire by bridges. The sword is located in the office, and a health pack is in the adjacent room.

Yeah, I know what you mean. There's definitely quite a bit packed in there. If I work on a V2 i'll definitely try to smooth all the rough edges though.

 

Thanks! Actually, Club Errera did inspire me to have the theme focus on a club atmosphere (and yes they're bars). In regards to the pathways, they mostly just go outwards from the center. With walkways going around the center on each floor. Though the pictures do make it look a bit confusing.

 

Thank you, good sir (is that map in your file share). I really like the aesthetics of club maps.

 

Thanks! Actually, the juicy effect is being used on this map. I guess on some parts it's hard to tell, but on the red side, which is darker because it's in the cliffs shadow, the lights and colors are much more vivid.
