    Citadel
    Created by Prophet Opeth

    Supported Gametypes:
    Slayer, but the point of this map is to be purely aesthetic.

    Map Description
    A long lost pice of an ancient fortress used during the christian crusades. The point of this map is to be purely aesthetic and can be used for machinama or any other type of Halo film. This map has no weapons placed on it and has the Gloomy and Juicy effects.

    This map was created over a time period of 6hrs and was inspired by Ilene Over's Cathedral map. Obviously they show no resemblence but it gave me the idea of building a structure related to the crusades. I hope you enjoy the map as much as I do.

    The aesthetics do look nice I suppose. This could be a meeting room more than anything, not much of an FFA map.

    Nice work on the aesthetics. It is easy to identify as a church. the blue glow you added is a pretty nice touch. As the comments above me stated, it seems well fit for a machinama. I just wish I had the maps to download, but I have bookmarked it.

    Well, first off, because of the effects that you added, the map is very hard to see. Also, this map is very offensive to me. Don't make a map about religion, halo is about killing people and having fun, not making a map about christianity. I think a mod should delete this

    I like this map a lot. I disagree with dow. A map can be made on anything, not just based on killing people. I love this idea and the cross is great. I never would have thought of this. The aesthetics are great and everything looks nice. I bet it would be used in machinimas. Good job.

    I do appreciate your opinion Dow but if you find this offensive then report the Cathedral map too. That has references to religion as well.

    I don't really know why this is offensive... seriously it's just a mp. If it really is offensive towards you, just don't look at it. Anyways, it's been beautifully merged, probably won't download, but it still looks nice aesthetically, and I can imagine it being used in a machinima, although it would probably looks far better on the ground or in the crypt to give it a mood effect. Wout definetly consiider taking off whatever effects you used, so machinima directors may choose what kind they want. Overall 4/5.

    Nice, I think the ForgeHub staff needs to add a Machinima map section. This looks like what it is ment for right? Anyways I am really glad the community is starting to post more maps, foundry just got old and I was glad to get out of it. Good cathedral, maybe for a v.2 add some more building and make a playable version of it.

    right now I'm gonna say it... i found a very obvious flaw and I'm surprised that none caught this before.
    a citadel is not a catholic religious place, a catholic CHURCH would have a cross on it not a citadel.
    4/5

    I just have one quick question. Can you intersect the new objects on Sandtrap or no?

    I think it would be better if it were placed on the ground instead of the sky bubble cause it would put more into the general outside look of a building
