    You know, Breakpoint has a ton of potential in terms of forging. I've only seen a small amount of maps made with it so I figured I'd put something together. It's small, kinda symmetrical but not really, and very snowy.

    It supports most all modes except Race and invasion types.

    Weapons include:

    Grenade launcher,
    Shotgun,
    Machinegun turret,
    and a plentiful helping of the usual stuff.

    I have yet to really get some games on it so some feedback would be appreciated.
    Now time for some pics.

    Thanks for looking (even if that's all you do).

    Ah, using Breakpoint gives some refreshing scenery. Points for that right off the get go. The map itself looks like it could be fun, and I imagine it would be quite a close quarters scramble. Grenade spamming may become an issue on this map.

    I like how it looks, but gameplay leaves me wondering. If you ever get a game together message me and I'll help. I just really want to play on a custom snow themed map.

    Actually that was mean. If you have nothing constructive to say why say anything?

    Moving on... I'm a big fan of creating maps from interesting sections of non forgeworld canvas maps and this breaks up the monotony of grey floaty maps quite nicely.

    Downloaded, but not had chance to play yet. I will give full feedback once I've had chance to play.

    Breakpoint would have been much better for forging if they gave it mergeable crates. Like they did for Avalanche in Halo 3. So much potential is gone since there just isn't an effective base item to use. That said, this looks fairly fun and the cave you made out of rocks is a nice touch.

    I his defense I did put them in there pretty quickly, not that I just threw them around without thought. :)

    I went for a more natural design rather than based on structures. I was aiming to give it enough cover without having the rocks towering into the sky as that would lead to jetpackers either camping up there or I'd have to make it accessable to everyone somehow. If I find it lacking in cover or anything, I do have a good number of rocks left to place. Actually I love the rocks on Breakpoint, you can place 150 as there are three and their limits aren't linked to each other as usual.

    Looks really cool! I like the little camp area with the fire made from the light, it looks really good. I will try this map out with my friends next time we get a game going!
