    Hello all! I have been working on this map for quite a while now, and I must say I am glad it is finally out of my system. Like I said in the Map Preview, When I seen Forgeworld and the island on it, I knew someday, someone would create a Relic inspired map. And here it is.

    Now, I have attempted to make the 2V2 and 4V4 maps with no great luck, so I figured since Eightball and Ace Of Spades just to name a few, were making such high quality maps like those, then I would endevor to make one for Big Team Battle since there seem to be so few now-a-days.

    Ok, so enough of the prattle, Relic One Five Seven was inspired by the Original Halo 2 multiplayer map Relic. I used the natural area of the whole island and created this for you to try out. Please feel free to comment on it since I know you will.

    As always, please feel free to comment, they are all appreciated.

    I remember seeing this on the previews, the map looks great and very very astheticall pleasing. It looks as if it has a great balance between small and large areas of combat which is always great. I can definately see where your insipiration came from, very 'relic' based. The map looks great it's a definate download for me hopefully I will be able to get soe games on this. It looks as if it could play really well.

    A great map congrats!!

    Right, sorry bout the grav lifts, tried to aim them a best as I could, with the angle they are on, it was difficult. Thanks for the download!


    Edited by merge:


    Thanks much for the download, please let me know how it played out for you?



    Thanks so much for the kind words, please let me know how it played out for you? You may notice that i setup a soft kill zone in the tunnel so no one would camp it.

    Ok, so I'm liking the architecture overall. It seems a lot of effort was put into the aesthetics, as well as the layout. I don't know how it play out, but it looks like it would be fun.

    I do have to say, though, that I think that with the map being in the middle of the island, the gameplay will revolve just in that box and not around different parts of the the island. My suggestion, make other structures just a bit farther outside of the map for players to have more grounds to move about. I do see you have a few, already, but it feels like there should be more or, they should be larger.

    That's just an idea, though. I'm going to DL and hopefully get some games on this to see what gameplay is like.

    Overall, I really like the aesthetics and the layout.

    Great work, man.

    Hmmm,
    I dont think i will add the quote here, I know what you mean, but I have little funds to make them bigger. I did want to make platforms for a Banshee and Falcon, but ran outta moolah.
    I appreciate the kind words though, figured I would leave the small maps to you and the other ForgeMasters. Maybe It might get an Honorable mention in the FHF?
