    This is the first map I've actually decided to make a big effort on, so as this is my first post forgive me if I've missed a few things, just ask and I'll tell you everything.

    So the map, its based on the Halo 3 map Narrows, however as I couldn't make all the scenery I decided to box in the map to create an enclosed area, but those familiar with narrows will recognise the layout.

    Its pretty much asymmetrical, each side has a back room, which leads to two corridors with a room in-between. Each side has one cannon to the other side. The two sides are joined by a top bridge and a lower bridge (smaller), the lower bridge are accessible from the two corridors on each side and ramps from the top bridge.

    Below the bridges there's what I call the ship core, however its just some cleverly placed shield doors and cannons. But fall in there and you will die!

    Weapons on the map include:

    4x Assault Rifle
    2x DMR
    2x Grenade Launcher
    4x Magnum
    1x Rocket Launcher (alternates with shotgun depending on game type)
    1x Shotgun
    2x Concussion Rifle
    1x Gravity Hammer
    4x Needle Rifle
    2x Needler
    2x Plasma Pistol
    And also grenades both sticky and frag.

    Please tell me what you think!! I've tried to perfect the map as much as I can, any ideas on Improvements would be appreciated!!

    Special thanks to HeavenlyXInglex (GT) for helping to put the finishing touches on it.

    First things first...You need pics of the map or the thread will be locked.

    They need to actually be IN this thread, posting a link to them won't cut it...

    Just take some pics, upload to your file share, then copy and paste them in full sized. Thats the easiest way to do it.

    PS: Welcome to forge hub!

    Is that supposed to be a light bridge in the first picture?
    If so, do you bounce on it or have you found a way to walk smoothly on them or something?
    And there certainly is enough cover on this map,that's for sure, good job on the map bro.

    Yeah its a one-way shield door, which means you do bounce. There is also a gravity hammer suspended on a fusion coil in the middle.

    Thanks mate.

    On the map I see nice aesthetics on the map and a nice layout. Now for the light bridge there is a way to make it without falling or bouncing on it...I just forgot were I found the video for it. Ill be sure to post a link in here as soon as I find it....if I do...lol

    Hmmm there probably is!! If you find the video it would be useful!! Do you think that changing the boundaries of the shield would do the job?
