    Holy Grounds
    What was once holy is now a curse.

    For my second map that I made on sandbox, I decided to make a symmetrical map. This map was created with the King of the Hill gametype setting close in mind. The map is fairly simple. It has one base on each end, a courtyard in the middle and 2 buildings on the sides. It is set up for slayer, KotH and capture the flag. It plays very well with King of the Hill, but also quite enjoyable with capture the flag as well.

    WEAPON/EQUIPMENT LIST
    X3 Battle rifle (2 extra clips)(30 seconds)
    X2 Covenant Carbine (2 extra clips)(30 seconds)
    Energy sword (120 seconds)
    Rocket Launcher (1 extra clip)(150 seconds)
    X4 Plasma Rifle (10 seconds)
    Active Camo (180 seconds)

    I love the set up. It's really cool how you took the golf holes and used them for the grass, it took me a second to figure out how you did that at first. I will deffinitely download and try her out. 5/5

    Wow, this looks amazing. The courtyard looks pretty damn cool. Overall, the map looks pretty nice. I like the layout, and the bases look great. Nice job. 8/10.

    This map looks terrific aesthetically, but gameplay looks a bit too straight forward especially in objective types. Maybe you should consider making a side entrance to each main base, so those bridges don't become chokepoints? From a slayer and KOTH standpoint, though, the map is fine.

    the middle of ur map is great. way to think out side of the box with golf holes for grass. u should try to expand the outside of ur map. like adding more ways out of the bases. This would help teams avoid getting boxed in also it would make object game more tactical.

    This map looks grerat asthetically and i love how u used the golf holes for grass, i also liked how u used the lights at each base. And just like silverorange said the bases, just add another entrance, or a secret walk way. 5/5

    'tin cups' for holes, that's really orginal!!!, map looks great for gameplay, but there needs to be more areas in the base to be shot in, add a wall slit or something

    very original with the golf holes as gress and the gamplay is really good aswell. i tried it out with my friends we had a great laugh while playing it, thx for the great map i might start trying to use your grass technique but yea the name is also very suiting to the groud because i sort of see it as a holy center place where you goto pray. great map 5/5

    Great map, and like everybody has already said, the courtyard looks amazing. It does seem a little small where only 2-6 players could play comfortably.

    4/5 =D

    Great map dude.

    This map will really start a new style of maps. I love the center structure, how you used the bottom of the golf holes to make a grass field. The buildings look great and are very original.

    The gameplay looks solid. I will have to try some Slayer and CTF on it later. I cannot wait until the Mythics get released to the rest of the people who don't have the maps yet. So we can have more maps to be shown.

    It's funny that Larsamin just said before your reply that someones going to copy my idea. Sure you can use it. I imagine that it's going to be used a lot now that I got it out there.

    well the rest of my map is goinng to be different i had an idea before tthis about having a grassy area in between to buildings kinda like a courtyard or something and i dont know if it was intentional but u can use the ledge by the red and blue pillars to get ontop of them then jump throough the window area i dont know if its a good or bad thing to you so i was just telling you
