Atrium "Exquisite in appearance, the intention of this Forerunner facility remains arcane." 2-12 Players Video Preview: Screenshots Below Youtube Video Link (Weapon Spawn Preview starts at 2:40): reach22228927 0 - YouTube Bungie Link to Rendered Film: https://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=22228168&player=Br4nd3n Description: Atrium is a aesthetically and competitively pleasing design. I had no intentions of a design originally and changed the map various times before arriving at the final draft. I understand that the name "Atrium" is used on Forgehub for other map designs, however I felt it was the only appropriate name for the map considering it's built around a sky-lit center room that's filled with water; which is the definition of Atrium. The map is side to side symmetrical, but not four way symmetrical. In length from Red Base to Blue Base it is 100% even, however one of the outer connecting sides is a tad bit wider; this was done on purpose (Think Purple side Vs. Carbine side on Midship). The less wide side has less cover, to help attribute to map balance. There is not a single spot on the map in which you can only get to one way, in fact most spots you can get to three or more ways; this ensures camping will not be a problem. Specific respawn area's have been properly placed in all and individual gametypes to limit the ability to spawn kill. Balance and Spawns has been tested in each working game type with 4 players on each team.

I am currently working on other forge projects and plan to release more map builds in the future. I appreciate your time in reading my post, and hope you enjoy the map. Feel free to contact me via the thread, my Xbox Gamertag, or a private message. Thanks, Branden.
Cool aesthetics, I suggest removing the words - "aesthetic and competitive" in the tittle, I think theres a rule about that, better be safe than sorry.
In the future, report any issues you find with map threads. Let the mods do their jobs. Like previously stated, map threads can only contain the name of the map. I've already changed it for you, just make sure to remember this in the future.
Great looking map especially for it being the first one you posted here on Forge Hub. It is very aesthetically pleasing. I cannot comment on gameplay because I have not tested it out yet, but it looks like it would play great. When I get a game on this, I will comment on the gameplay, but as of right now I cannot see anything wrong with the map. If you keep creating maps like this, then you are going to have a great time on Forge Hub. Also, next time you can use the Tester's Guild to test your maps and give you additional feedback on your maps.
Thanks! I'll make sure of the Tester's Guild next time around. I'm not to aware of the way things completely work around here, but I am learning as much as I can to start off. I appreciate your comment about the map. I've been forging for quite awhile, just haven't went public with it.
Thanks! Everyone that I've played it with has told me that it played awesome. I'm just waiting for someone here to try it out and post some feedback. It was killer for KoTH in the center, and Multi CTF.
You were the one who helped me test it out.. Thanks for posting buddy! I really wish I could get more comments about the gameplay. Over 400 views, but barely any postings.
