    Planet: Horizon
    Capitol: Discovery
    Colony Founded: 2168
    Species: Humans
    Population: 654,930

    Type: Garden
    Orbital Distance: 2.1 AU
    Orbital Period: 3.0 Earth Years
    Radius: 5,402 km
    Day Length: 37.8 Earth Hours
    Surface Gravity: 0.7 g
    Mass: 0.498 Earth Masses

    The map takes place on Horizon (Human controlled world). A group of aliens known as "The Collectors" have begun abducting entire human colonies. Discovery, The capitol of Horizon has been captured by the Collector force. It is up to a small force of Alliance troops to retake Discovery and destroy the Collector Ship.

    The game variant is Invasion. The First Objective for the Spartans is to Capture the Outer defense platforms (or Docks). Spartans have two positions to deploy from in the first set. One they can spawn back at the air base or they can choose to spawn on the outskirts of the city. The second objective is to secure the North portion of the city. Spartans can deploy from any defense platform on the outskirts of the city. The final objective is to plant a bomb underneath the Collector ship. I did create a game varient with the map but unfortunatly I do not have bungie pro and cannot post it on my fileshare because my fileshare is full. If you want the official game variant, message me on xbox live. My Gamertag is Taurus480.

    Also the map is focused around teamwork and the use of vehicles. I wanted to build a map with vehicles being the center of attention. Different sets unlock new vehicles for different teams. Their is also no weapons placed on the map. I tried to make the map feel and play more like a battlefield where different classes you pick have thier strengths and weaknesses.

    LAST I want to thank you guys for taking a look at the map. If you have any questions or comments or even ideas for a new map please post! :)

    The thing that got my attention from this section was the city itself.
    I aplaud you for its layout. Even the docks on its outskirts were aesthetically nailed.
    Nicely done, looking forward to your future posts

    thanks guys! I did manage to post some more information about the map. I havnt been able to test the map with a full party but 5 on 5 seemed to be really fun :)
    As I said up in the post if you guys want the actual game variant for the map just message me on xbl and I would be more than happy to give it to you guys.

    Sick sick sick city dude. I love the detail you put into making it. One of the best I've seen since my time here with FH.

    Great idea with the buildings. I love the way the map stretches over multiple spaces in forgeworld. Good Job.

    I like how you seem to integrate vehicles into the map. It looks like you have a few options of how you want to attack, if you're on the offense. I'll give it a dl because of the way the gameplay looks and the sick aesthetics. Well done

    Hey, i was flipping through the older pages and saw this, i really like mass effect so ill definitely dl. looks very good, especially the city, i would probably dl even if i didnt play mass effect.
