    Hey! I have a 4v4 called Composer V.2. Because of the layout and spawns of the map, only Strongholds and slayer are available at the moment. I intend to create CTF and Ball spawns in the near future.

    GT: Regret Fear
    Map: Composer V.2

    Early versions of the map can be found here




    Since those videos have gone up, I've made some major alterations along with minor weapon swaps.

    Hey there guys! so last few weeks have been hectic because of my new schedule, and looking objectively I realized I needed to change my lobby time once more. My lobby will be running at 12:30 AM EST Saturday and Sunday, as this is the only way I can promise to get the 10 maps per week testing. I will let you guys know if this will be final.

    Whenever you get the chance Dempy, I'd like you to do another run on Zone Art. It's been updated exponentially, and I'd love to see the consensus of people playing it.

    Can't join in, but I'll be sure to watch the stream.

    By the way, be sure to test Slayer and Strongholds on Zone Art. No Oddball.

    First time on ForgeHub. I've only made a couple maps since I started in Reach, but I've been much more active in this forge. Quick question, should I go ahead and submit a map before it's been play tested by groups on this site? Anyway,
    GT: zecuse
    Map: Mutiny
    Gametypes: CTF, Assualt, any Slayer should work
    Players: Primarily 4v4, but each team has 8 initial spawns
    Description: I've tried to stay as close to the original Boarding Action as I could. Halo 5's movement should be good and clamber is the only required spartan ability (should classic gametypes be used) as it replaces the ladders (I never liked the man cannon approach of past remakes). I've also added a couple of scripted areas, one is required for Assault. The only problem I have with the map is that it was first finished before the Memories of Reach update that changed the textures of the, now, detailed primitives used on the map, and lighting might be a problem in some areas.

    Hey there guys! jumping on to let you guys know I am unwell right now, I feel a tad ill after work and I cannot keep my eyes open :(

    So for today, I won't be able to run my lobby. Besides, I do need a break every now and then.

    However, next weekend will run as usual as I will be off for both those days. See you next weekend guys!

    Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly dude. Got a new one to add to your ever growing list - Fever Pitch (alpha) 4v4.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    GT - LoTuS

    Map: Jarvik
    Gametype: 4v4 Oddball
    Supports: Slayer, Strongholds, Oddball
    UCC: Yes
    Link
    Lots of changes from the last time you played this. Tried to tie together visuals, less jarring color palette (bright green forest area). Yellow corner/building have more paths for less stagnant gameplay and many more player options.

    Map: Shambles (lights)
    Gametype: 4v4 Strongholds
    Supports: Slayer, Strongholds, Oddball
    UCC: Yes
    Link
    (Lights) version is a working tidal canvas with 230 lights placed on map. When 343 updates tidal, the original 'Shambles' will be the correct one.
