    Anchor Estate

    Map: Anchor Estate
    "Let your troubles 'sink' away"

    Being a Halo house map designer, Halo Reach has provided more than I need to create a dream house. Of course since this is an aesthetic map, not much will be put in the description. All I can say is much of the inspiration I got for making the lounge (besides the pool table) came from angusyung255. Thanks Man!
    Here is a list of possible interests you might find in the map:

    • Anchor
    • Piano
    • Pool Table
    • Swimming Pool
    • Theater
    • Cavern Dining Room

    This looks pretty sweet :) I'm wowed by the amazing aesthetics and attention to detail you put in. It's so clear at first glance what the purpose of each room is. You've definitely got my DL.

    Some sick aesthetic details. The first thing that I flew twards was the piano, and I gotta tell you -those keys did not even look like they were made in forge! very impressive! Like I said on XF, we need to start calling you the "Halo Realestate Guy"

    Wow! This is freeking awesome. Your attention to detail is second to none. This has so many great ideas, nice rooms and aesthetics I have never seen. I have to download to see how you made the piano and keys. The pool table is cool and funny man. You have some awesome talent. Looking forward to checking your map out. Top class

    Man, I've got to get in there and check this stuff out. Haven't tried too much detailing myself but I think I'm going to get a lesson when I get in and snoop around. Sweet work

    Amazing work bro!

    lol when i saw the first picture of the piano, i was like "eh, its alright i guess" then on the 2nd pic of it, i laughed and felt like i had been hit so hard across the face, i wouldn't find my teeth within a mile. How did you do the keys, i'm just curious, and the pool table was great! btw, i guess you cant actually go in the swimming pool? (you would just die)
    Nice work, wish i could do that =(

    The piano keys are made of flag stands; being very careful when placing them down to make sure they're all raised above the base at even heights...it took a long time. The pool table however is "swimmable," there is a grid on the floor of it so you can't necessarily see it but you can stand on it. I'm glad you got a kick out of this map...I think literally too.

    Okay I have to admit, the main picture that you used as the thumbnail picture at the aesthetic menu didn't amaze me, but now looking at everything, I really am amazed! The piano is just astounding! I think the aesthetics are amazing, and it also looks as if the gameplay is evenly spread out to the point where the only area with what seems to see more action than all the other locations is the cavern Dining room. I don't know why, but I think that would be the biggest battle field.

    Map: 10/10

    Gameplay: 10/10

    The best furnished map ever!!!

    This map is possibly one of the most beautiful maps I have ever seen!
    I congratz you on putting so much detail into everything you built.
    The highlight of the map is definatly the piano. All the keys were so neatly created. And it was extremly creative how you used flagstands to create them.
    I also really love the pool table. The way you used the plasma grenades to simulate the balls.
    This map is fantastic, and I will say it is most certainly one of the best houses ever built.
    Only one question : How does it play on infection?
    ( i know its really only built for aesthetics, im just wondering)

    I first saw this and thought that this is EXACTLY what I needed for clue. I am amazed by the amount of creative uses for things like Flag Stands, 7-Woods, etc... Bravo!
