    I'd like to present 'The Forgotten Route'

    Update: Following testing which revealed game breaking bugs, The map has received many changes to the structure of individual puzzles. This will allow for the map to only be solved as intended. (Version 1.2 is now available for testing)

    About the map;
    The Forgotten Route is a puzzle map which will test your mind, but not make you break your television in anger. This is a puzzle for a single player. In this puzzle you will face multiple head scratching puzzles which lead you ever closer to the end of the map. As part of a Dominion Gametype, The Forgotten Route requires the Gametype 'Router'. Utilizing both old school methods of puzzle making and unique elements to Halo 4, The Forgotten Route is sure to bring a good time to those who want a change of pace from all other Gametypes currently available.

    This map is currently in Beta, please provide feedback on broken puzzles (If possible). Also, if stuck you can contact me via PM here, or an in-game message. I would be more than happy to help you along. I will create a walkthrough video if requested.

    Requirements for Success;
    MUST be Attacker/Defender (Red or Blue team)
    MUST be observant

    To Download Map Variant;
    Spartan Hub > File Browser > Map variants > File Share Search > (iSpree v3) > The Forgotten Route

    To Download Gametype Variant;
    Spartan Hub > File Browser > Game Types > File Share Search > (iSpree v3) > Router

    Credit: Thanks to iRemix v3 for extensive playtesting. Thanks to all other contributors.

    Everything else is up to you. Can you conquer it?

    Nope that is the end! I hope you enjoyed it! Did you find anything off putting or in need of a second look? I will hopefully be making another puzzle which will use the budget more efficiently. Also, the game should have ended once you captured C (Having Last stand for dominion enabled) maybe that wasn't the case?

    Nope the game did not end. And I'm not sure if I completed the first fusion coil/shield door puzzle the correct way. I'll PM you what I did.

    Thanks for taking the time to do this. I went back to the structure of my puzzles and altered them in order to never allow these breaks to take place. It was two specific problems that made all your breaks possible and I believe them to be completely fixed. I thought about that golf ball and decided it was indeed useless, and therefore removed it. I will be uploading the improved version to my file share. I appreciate all your help.

    The Forgotten Route 1.1 is up on my file share. I have changed the location of the teleporter to gold room which will not allow for you to bring anything but yourself.

    Looks interesting, I will search it out and let you know what I think. I really enjoy puzzle maps, have not seen many on H4 yet.

    Version 1.2 is in my file share. The last section (C) has been revamped. I removed all poorly built parts of the puzzle, which caused all sorts of problems. I replaced these with better, easier to work with puzzles which enhance the flow of the map.

    Enjoy.
