    This is a very interesting map and I love how you made it. It looks pretty much like the 3-D pictures. You my friend have a forging ability. Great map and great post.

    well matt in slayer and all the other gametypes 80% of the time you spawn in the standup tunnels and the top.Also if you do spawn in the crouching tunnels you are right next to the exit.So while everyone else is playing on the top i guess you like to wonder around the tunnels which is not the fault of gameplay.So maybe you should just play it some more.But thanks for the "great job". =)

    Does this map allow me to add different weapons if I wanted?

    Lol... This map gets 9.9 from me, because it fails with zombies. You guys are wrong, zombies does not work well on this map, despite your attempts.

    All in all, this is a fantastic map. Already DL'ed because this was so fun to test.

    i have a really good feeling that this map will get featured & I'll be proud to see this map again.
    now for constructive criticism...
    ok this map has a good use of interlocking but it is very hard to see if you did any geo merging but the tunnels idea is great knowing that i have seen tunnels before you are able to us tunnels in a orderly way.

    also the continuation of Acroplis (which i downloaded) is great love this map & hope to see more work for these ancient maps you are currently making:).

    This map looks so awesome I could swear that it could fit in easily in the aesthetic maps category. That is how smooth the map looks, but is even better then aesthetic because you can also play on it, not to mention like every single gametype on Halo 3 can be played on here. 5/5

    Absolutely a superb map. 5/5 The layout has great aesthetics. Definitely a d/l. The design of the map is what really stands out. The walls aren't the usual flat and vertical.

    This is an absolutely stunning map. 5/5 for sure. The layout is completely original, with that awesome center structure to top it off. I can't wait for your next map. I'll be back with more praise later once I have a forge-through.

    EDIT: Alright, after my forge through, I really like the top level of this map. The only thing I don't like are all the tunnels and such--they are confusing. I never really liked tunnels anyway, I think they take away from gameplay. It's a great map, I just wish there was more space underneath. Everything else is top-notch though.

    This map looks like a work of art. Almost the entire thing is interlocked, and very nicely interlocked at that. All the different rooms and corridors make the map seem bigger than it actually is. Weapon placement, (from what I can see,) is perfect. An obvious 5/5'er from me.

    The tunnels do look very smooth and from the action shots, the game play looks superb. The whole map design is excellent as well. The top dome is cool too. Nice Job. 5/5.

    Thank you to everyone who commented, i agree the layout is pretty good.But killex you are way off, the zombies is awesome because if you camp you cant last more than 5 minutes and it isn't that easy to kill zombies so they actually have a chance.

    Your forging skills have come a long way American. You've done a lot visually with this map. I'll have to see how well it plays though. Crouching tunnels can cause problem in competative maps, but I'll have to see. I really liked the 3D overhead view you made, how long did that take?

    I like the layout and everything but all of the fighting seems to happen in the tunnels, I really don't like maps with alot of tunnels but alot f people do so i know others will enjoy your map. Nice job man.

    Well it took us about a 2-3 days.Also you are right tunnels mess with gameplay a bit but most of the gameplay is on the top and standup tunnels, like in competitive the crouching tunnels is mostly a sneakier way to kill someone or to grab a weapon or to.But if you know me im not much of a competitive guy i like aesthetic creativity.

    Ok ladies and gents. This is how it's gunna be. You are going to download this map, luv it, and then praise the lord for American and Toppum. Why? Here is why.

    Ok firstly, everyone must like a standard ole competitive map aimed at the normal gametypes, yes? But, after thousands of times on those maps, things can get a little boring. So these two folks have just completed their second addition to their almost done Ancient map pack. This is for those players looking for a little adventure. For a little excitement, and for those looking for a blend of the intricacy of Tunnel Rats and playability of Acropolis.

    This map from "the top" seems rather small and simple, or at least to me it did. But then, Sir Toppum says, "Dude come over here". Then He walks over to a nicely crafted waterfall, and dissapears. Well as it turns out this entire map is built on top of a painfully perfectly constructed system of twisitng turning tunnels. Not only that but when you get to the bottom there is a little shrine type area. Aesthetically, this map is amazing. The top floor looks so alien in respect to foundry. The center piece with the A/B sign roof. The little inlets and houses. I luv the house with the loft and accessible roof. It looks as if the sun gleams off of the walls. Well actually, it does. And then once you get into the tunnels the real fun begins. Chasing one another through the darkness, or springing up through the floor of a house only to claim and unweary victim. And I LUV the secret teleporter that takes you to the awesomest little sniper box/perch.
    Slayer works well, FFA and dubs! Oh and for Infection, especially for In the Shadows........... OMG! It is crazy running into a house only to discover the pallet floor busted open and a hole exposed, then an invisible zombie springs out and takes your life. And for those of you who play Clue, this might be quite interesting. All and all, download this map, luv it, then do the praise dance. Bee-oo-tiful.

    EDIT: One thing American, i forgot to put this in, I read the sidestory, how did the soldiers get in considering you expurtlee blocked it off? Eh? Cuz I know it is impossible to get out or in...
