    Hey guys, this is my first map up on Forge Hub... I'm fairly new to the site. I appreciate any input... and constructive criticism.

    OK. Map is called Catacombs (obviously). It is symmetrical (...as symmetrical as Foundry allowed, at least).

    To be honest, I decided to do this because I was sick of the smallest base-orientated map being The Pit or Standoff... neither of which I am a fan of.
    The basic premise is that you can do smaller games of CTF, Assault, Territories (or whatever - everything works) on this map - something that should make a nice change to the lineup of behemoth maps out there.

    It's not overly confusing - there are two bases, each with a short tunnel connecting it to the main courtyard (see Central Area screenshot), and a tunnel leading around the side and to an elevated "sniper spot."

    I named it Catacombs because the original intention was to have a series of tunnels and caves connecting, but it soon became apparent that it would be incredibly stressful to get everything right - Catacombs took a good 12 hours to finish (another hour or so to make sure every default game mode worked).

    As I said above, any input and feedback is greatly welcome - I'm glad to find a site that values the hardworking Forger (unlike the bungie.net forums).

    Here are some screenshots:

    P.S: My sincere apologies for not including more screenshots. The cramped nature of the map prevents shots from good angles.

    Good potential for crazy "GET THE SWORD/BOMB" confrontations.

    You might want to put bigger pictures in your post; Look at the options from imageshack to take off the toolbar. That way, I can see your images better.

    Thanks - had a bit of trouble deciding what to put in the middle...

    I'll look into those images too.


    Update: Images fixed!
