    Observatory
    Created by: Possessed Goat
    Difficulty: 10

    Map Variant: Observatory v1.3
    Game Variant: Observation v1.1
    Walkthrough: Observe

    Goal: Get to, and grab the ball by yourself using the given gametype WITHOUT using friends to cheat or editing A: the map or B: the gametype.

    Story: Ok, well I joined ForgeHub not too long ago and started downloading maps, Great Maps!, Eventually I downloaded a map called Re on carnation Ahh and that was such a horrid map :p It was my first Puzzle map and of course I later find out it is one of the toughest made. Damn you buddhacrane. So, anyway, obviously I could not beat it, so I ended up watching the walkthrough. (He tea bags cigarettes, its worth watching.) After that map, I fell in love with Puzzle Maps. So, me and my friend flippilf have ended up playing pretty much every single Puzzle map on ForgeHub and successfully completed them (I shouldn't be proud of this). So here, I offer this puzzle map back to the community (Why doesn't Bungie allow the word "Puzzle" in the description?"). I tried to make this map as hard as I could make it without making it impossible to figure out without forging. I honestly would hate to try to figure out this map. Just to make it even more difficult, I will only give you a few hints and only 2 pictures.

    Hints: OBSERVATION IS KEY. Note everything you see that may help you, and remember where it is. Firebomb grenades are ONLY for killing yourself. (I have fool proofed it so they cannot be used to cheat). Try to use both your firebombs before dying because It leaves a firebomb on the map that will not get reset for a while and it throws off my grenade spawn if you do it more then 4 times. Last hint, you make your own dead ends.

    Good Luck!

    Note: I apologize in advance for those who get frustrated trying this. You may ask me for help, and I will do my best to aid you.

    You are only supposed to have the map name in the title, remember that next time. I've always been fond of puzzle maps that have sort of clues. Does this one have that? I guess I can't really rate unless I actually play it. I also downloaded re on carnation and OMG that was amazing. I see you didn't interlock or do any complex forging here so go here for more techniques. ForgeHub - Forge 101- Halo 3 Maps

    I guess the map looks ok but I'm a bit confused. Do you just have to get out? Looks pretty good tho. Good sized prize too. BTW the title says observatory but at the top of your thread it says observation lol.

    Hey I solved your map by following the rules. I think you may consider what I did a cheat, but it is technically part of the game and is possible for anyone to do. [Link Purged] (By the way what I did was called a ghost jump just so that you know)

    I can't beat it, I only can beat it with cheating, lol. I got to the part with the soccer ball and the grav lift.

    Sush :p I was tired and hungry when I made this.

    Behemoth will you please remove that post for it gives away a part of the map. Thank you for finding that, I fixed it with a simple fence box.
    I have tested everything multiple times, it all works, every time.
