    Hello,
    Welcome to my first post here on these forums. This is probably my most well made map to-date as i consider myself only an average Forger(for now anyway). It is a small/medium mostly symmetrical map that focuses both on vertical and horizontal gameplay.

    It is probably best used for slayer games consisting of smaller teams and while it can accommodate up to 10, I recommend 8 players at max. This map is also set up for KoTH and Oddball. Any feedback is very welcome as i have only had limited playtesting so far.
    Thanks for your time.

    In the future, it would be better to post more screenshots to give viewers a better idea of what your map is like. Based off of your screenshots, i would also suggest that you try to stay away from prefab "building" items as much as possible in the future. They have their purpose, but you shouldn't build most of your map out of them. Also, this map appears to suffer from the same issue that all maps built in the coliseum suffer from: you just filled the coliseum with the map, meaning the map is just a bunch of stuff in a box, and not a very interesting design. Speaking of which, why the HELL would an observatory be built inside of a massive interior space?

    Don't let the negative points I brought up discourage you, just take them into account with your next project, and learn from them. Welcome to forge Hub!

    Alright thanks for the advice, I was trying to take a more simple route for this map which is why i stuck with prefab for the majority. The reason I built it inside of the Coliseum is because I thought it would be a good size for games like 2v2 Slayer and small FFA games as with some larger maps it's tough to keep it fast paced when you hardly encounter your enemies. My explanation for the name is that it's more like a laboratory with the Forerunners observing the Flood in captivity. I will most likely remake this map at a later date when I've got some more experience under my belt. Thanks again for your help.

    Edited by merge:


    I've just completed an updated version of the map. the original layout is mainly intact however I've added more cover to the sides and took out the randomness of the structures surrounding the inner circle. I will post the revamped map most likely tomorrow.
