Updated 1.3 Version! by LD and Zneakey Special Thanks to Equin0x and nibbles for their awesome feedback in the TG ♥ and Plasma Blades for the best Of Legions v1.0 feedback ever ♥ Halo: Reach Forge Maps - "Of Legions" - YouTube Of Legions is playable with an Infection Gametype of your choice and designed for a maximum of 8 people. After several months of forging I am very proud to release my first CoForged Infection map, Of Legions. We started planing the map several months ago and redesigned the map over and over again since then, so this is definitely the map I worked the most on in Reach. Of Legions works perfectly for Infection, the short lines of sight give the humans a hard time to find a secure location on the map without getting surprised by a zombie that took one of the several routes to flank them. Together with the LoS, the lightning and the FX in the Cave create a unique and scary atmosphere, without having places on the map that are too dark to play on. We wanted to give you the feeling that you are not on Forgeworld anymore, I hope we did a good job 1.3 Updates Removed bridge - Rebuild area beneath the bridge - Rebuild area where the ramp up to the bridge used to be - Added an additional wall where the bridge used to end Reopened Cell 1&4 - Cell 1 is now a additional pathway around the glass in the control room - Cell 4 leads to a new ramp up to the observation balcony Removed the part with the windows to ForgeWorld and all the aesthetic parts out there Moved/Added some rocks to block of the lines of sight from the observation balcony Added aesthetic collums next to the monitor Cleaned up some ugly parts of the map, mainly in the underground tunnel Moved/Added some spawns to make spawning saver Since 1.3 is out now, I provided you with some mouseover pictures to compare v1.0 and 1.3.

Map is boss. I downloaded it off of your fileshare about a week ago. It's an awesome infection map, I <3 it. I love the bars and the rest of the aesthetics. 9.75466456/10 ??
I can't imagine a more disgusting picture to put in your signature. lol. Played this when it was in the TG, man it looks good. Creates an awesome atmosphere for infection.
Hey! I was quoted in your sig! And special mentioned in the beginning of the post! But seriously, this has to be put in Matchmaking if they put the player count down to 8. The short sightlines and many paths, make for an easy way to overcome any camping position, given the zombies are coordinated. Glad to see you decided to block off the zombie spawns, though. As they were easily camped by the humans. 9.75/10, LD. Always room for improvement.
This map was fun and terrifying to play on. The aesthetics are great. Nice job on this. I love the bars combined with the rocks. The cones and the crates were nice touches too.
This map is a beast. I loved playing on it, creates a unique atmosphere for it's location. It's a map that is fun for zombies and humans to play on. It has a campable but not too campable feel. Of Legions also has this dark feel, but not to hurt your eyes. Can't wait to play on it again.
Yep, I played this with nibs, nox, Soul and Kuroda and a few others. Anyways, I loved the little rooms with the bars, they were very creative and a great place to hold out against the zombies. This is one of the better infection maps I've played on. The colors make it eerie and dark and just give the map so much detail. I also have to point out that there was not one area that was too easy to defend against the zombies, that's what really makes this map fun. Great work, LD.
Man, I love the look of this map, I haven't gotten a chance to play on it, but I am looking forward to getting a group of my friends to play it. Just the pictures of it seem frightening, but in a good way. I love how it looks old and broken, which to be honest, is something I could never do. I could never intentionally destroy my level to make it look even better. Lol. Anyways, great job, and keep it up!
Oh no! I was thinking of doing infection in the Cavern, but you did it before me Well, I guess a have to admit your map is good looking with an awesome feeling to it. It's really scary to play on it sometimes! Great work!
Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm glad you like Of Legions, and thank you very much for all the FHF Nominations, we already made it into the voting thread, let's see if we are able to make it into FHF ♥ In case you downloaded it before I released it here, I changed a couple of things, I blocked off the cages and, well, destroyed the whole place to give it a raw atmosphere
First of all, Awsome, epic, uber map! Just wondering if its impossiible to play with more than 8 players or if 8 is the reccomended amount? Was hoping to play with a full party (downloaded and recommended either way for awsomness).
to much camping spots just played it with Plasma blades and it was Way to campy and the bridge you should make it a soft kill or something cause it was WAY to campish so 1/10
I only played one round with 10 people and there were too much people in my opinion, but you can try more if you like to. But check if there are enough spawn points on the map First of all, were was the map campy? I highly doubt that the bridge had anything to do with that, the zombie team had to consist out of total idiots if the humans managed to camp there. There are Several ways to get to the bridge, including two tactical jumps that are impossible to guard as humans if your whole team is on the bridge. Could you please tell me some other campy spots, because I just can't think of any. There were 3 spots on the map that were easy to defend and I removed all of them during testing, if there are more, I will be happy to fix them, but so far your feedback isn't helpful at all.
Well you know where the Crates are also they were Campy and well Yes i agree my Teammates were Idiots but other then the Bridge the map was good
Ohh man I can't wait to play a zombies game on this, it looks perfect! Reminds me alot of all the different zombie variants of halo 3 maps. Congrats on getting FHF, it deserves it. Edit: OHHH MAANN Now I REALLY can't wait to play zombies on this! After looking around I decided that this is like, the best infection map ever. Of all time. The FX make it just dark enough to keep the creepiness while not affecting sight too much and the crumbling structures really add to the look too. And using a shield door to make a TV with static on it is absolutely phenomenal. Seriously, congrats on the feature. You earned it like ten times over.
There is NO camping spots on this map, it is perfectly fine LD, I played this with a few friends and NinjaDeLaNoches, and we had fun. It showed basic survival, you don't camp because that is what kills you, you need to move around more, but I think you should add some weapons on the map, scarced and scattered of cource, but all in all a great map 9/10. Sniper's 1/10 = WRONG! GruntHunter's 9/10 = RIGHT!
You were the main camper while we tested this out.. At least this is better than your dead air maps. Those ones are bad.
I tested this with a couple of review hub members and I thought it was great. It feels like you are in a horror movie. There are some camping spots where people could get a good advantage. Other than that the map is good.
Map looked pretty good. Had lots of great detail and if I had high speed in stead of dial up I would probally download it and check it out.
