    I think I have a thing for rocks. There's something enjoyable about taking a completed map and adding your own flavor to it. Spawns and game types are already set and you can focus on aesthetics. This one is just the default Hemorrhage from the disk, Scorpions swapped for Wraiths, Plasma Launcher replaced with Rockets and moved to the center, Grenade Launchers (2) and Banshees (2) added, and a whole lot more cover added.

    It's a nice idea but I think you should consider the rocks and their placement more cause this looks really odd :p

    You're on the right track with this but I think you could do better with the default layout. Back in halo 1, Blood Gulch was amazing. The bases had two levels in which the bottom contained a banshee. If you are not familiar with this then I would suggest you look it up. I'd say try and remake the original bases then add your extra rock cover.

    I belive you mean halo 2, (halo custom edition non withstanding.) and anyhow we already have a good remake of that.

    OT: i like the idea, but the rocks could be placed more strategicly. the rock arches are cool too.

    I don't think there's much motivation to download this map because you say that you are adding your own flavor it this but with the overwhelming amount of maps on this site available to download, a map that it simply regular blood gulch meets a whole lot of rocks probably won't get a lot of downloads. Sorry about the negative comment I just think most people look for something they've never seen before to play.

    Yeah - I get that. I'm not real worried about shooting for a huge download count on this map. It was something I threw together for fun, so I thought I'd share it with the community. I got to try it out last night and aside from some timer issues with the wraiths, it played great - exactly how I was hoping it would.

    Thanks for the comments all!
