    Thought Id give light to my most recent projects and let them taste some fresh forgehub air.

    This map is a remake of the firefight map 'Rally Point' from Halo:ODST. It is fairly accurate minus the inside area up top. Also there are giant LoS breakers in the middle.

    Designed with perfected simplicity in mind and the need to make something non-forgeworld, Reserve was born.

    I am at again, creating another unique and fun invasion experience. This time I have based my map off the level the Ark from Halo 3, but dont be fooled as it is completely different to the other Ark maps on here.

    I love firefight map remakes, so Checkpoint sounds like the one for me. Are you entering Reserve into the $5000 contest? Ah, yes you are. The pictures didn't load for a while. Nice banners BTW.

    Pics loaded instantaneously for me :p.

    Maps look cool, great work man. I like how you got all excited and made banners for them, too. ;) Interested to see how they turn out, you clearly have skill when it comes to map design.

    Dun be sad Crypto, Eightball is here. <3

    Well, I can see you've been quite busy with some interesting projects. I gotta say I'm looking forward to the Firefight re-make the most. I don't have Tempest, so I won't be able to play that one. Also, I've already played The Prophet. I like invasion and that map is really enjoyable. Keep it up, man.

    Oh yeah, nice banners. They look purty ;)

    Haha cheers mate. Yeah I remember you've played on The prophet at least twice, although back then it was called The Ark.

    Are any of these maps downloadable yet? I'd be interested to have a run-around in one or two of them.

    Doubt it, but no harm in asking, right?

    I have yet to play reserve, but it looks nice. Checkpoint looked good when you showed me in forge, and it sounds like you took my suggestion to allow players to go into the building up top? I've played The Prophet, and haven't been too impressed, but that was a while ago. I'd love to play any of these man. And yes, I know you invited me like 30 times yesterday, probably to play these, but I was just hanging out with a friend. Next time you invite me I should join.

    Haha well I can show you around but I never put up download links for non-completed maps.

    Yeah iwas trying to get a testing session in for reserve but I never got anyone.

    No I haunt actually allowed acces to the top building as there isn't really a need for it. I guess I could build it when I get the chance to see how it would work out.

    As for Prophet, I kind of agree with you. It looks amazing but the actual gameplay lacks. I've been tweaking everything quite a bit so hopefully after what I've done today it will actually play better.

    Yeah I know I tend to sit on my **** for ages befpre doing anything with it, but heres the thing. Im finding it really hard to get the The Prophet right. The first phase is good, third phase is good, second phase sucks ****. Everyone hates the second phase gameplay including me. They still love the map but they hate how it plays. Ive been trying to get it working but today everything went horribly wrong because the changes I made, made it worse during testing.
    As for Reserve I can never get 8 players who all have the Noble Map Pack. Thats the only thing halting its progress.
    Lastly Checkpoint... it... it does... wait... its finished. Derp I should post it. Im gonna focus the next week on posting Checkpoint. LOOK OUT FOR IT!

    tl;dr The Prophet plays badly, can't get testers for Reserve and Im submitting Checkpoint soon.
