    HeadlongCreated by The Articwolf67
    Map Description"Although during the day Section 14 monitors almost all harbour traffic, at night it's one of the city's most notorious hangouts." This is my remake of my favorite map headlong from Halo 2. Cause of money and item shortages the seven column has been replaced with a cross.

    Well done! You've remade one of the greatest halo maps ever. This is the first Headlong remake i have ever seen and it is done well. A couple of improvements could be done though like the use of 4x4 flats are ugly and look nothing like headlong. You don't even need to remove them. Just use railings as the stuck out girders. The hanging girder is a bit fat, is it not? I know it's probably unavoidable so i won't bother you too much with it. I will definitely dl though. :)

    Ahhh those freakin blue ramps take so much out of this map. I would highly suggest replacing them with something else.. those tend to destroy looks of maps because people use them as roads. You can use other stuff that would look nicer, just look around.

    If you were gonna take out the septagon, I would have just left an empty pedestal instead of trying to make something to replace it. I can see what you're trying to do with the map but unfortunately I've gotta say Headlong is too big of a challenge for the greatest of forgers because there isn't enough budget, items and it would then play horribly (all H2 maps do on Reach). The map looks sloppy, with the stunt ramps and multiple spots with z-fighting

    Even though Headlong has much more of a cityscape than the Forge World environment could provide, I think you did an adequate job recreating the map. Perhaps more aesthetic qualities such as boxes and anything decorative could make the map look nicer. And if your budget is an issue, try using some of the options in building blocks instead of the more expensive objects. Overall, good work.
