    Map Info:



    Works for all game types! Best with 4-10 players. I most enjoyed King of the Hill, Team Slayer, and Oddball.



    Originally this map was inspired by a quake arena map I once played. While it is quite different than the map that originally inspired it, this map may look slightly familiar to some of you. Some of you may remember my first forge post Aurora v3.1. Because of Aurora’s location (above Blackout) I was not able to create the map that I wanted. Thanks to Sandbox I have finally been able to take this map to its fullest potential. My biggest goal with this map was to create a map that is truly unique to the halo community.


    **I have gone to a great deal of effort and testing to make sure that the man cannons and grav-lifts send you where you need to go regardless of how fast or what angle you enter them.**

    Remember kids, all human weapons(except for Rockets) can be fired through your

    deployable cover and your opponents can not shoot you … that is until your cover is destroyed =) .

    This look like it could be tons of fun. The design and everything look pretty nice. I'm going to have to give this a dl as soon as i delete some maps (stupid 100map limit...). I'll come back once i get to dl and play a few gametypes on it. So for now i give you a 4/5.

    Tis looks cool! The man-cannons to each base means people will fight in the bases more. I love the weapon placement too. Very good map, I dont know if I can give you any recomondations because you did a fantasic job. 20/20 Very Original, good job!

    Weapons

    I'm glad you guys are liking the weapon placement/selection. That was actually the biggest complaint about my first attempt at this map (Aurora v3.1 above blackout). People said it was too overpowered.

    I think you definitely got the uniqueness you were looking for. I'm really new to forgehub.com but this map has a truly unique look and feel to it. I love the sniper perches of to the side of each base. Its a simple but really fun design. At fist glance this map came across being to simple but when you start to play it I noticed all the little details you put into it. This map was built for the gravity hammer because when you have it you feel like a God =) Also the pictures can be a bit deciving on how big it acctually is. From what i can see that may be a bad thing for this community as it seems most of the featured maps are 2v2 maps. Its a bit bumpy in some spots but over all I think you have done a fantastic job. 4.5/5

    I put a lot of effort into fixing those bumps. On the upper platforms the most. I have tried using teleporter nodes to help even them out but it didn't work as well as i hoped. Thanks for your comment. The map has almost 58 downloads and no one has really commented on it after they downloaded it. Is that cause the map is perfect?? That cant be because I know there are some things that could be improved. I'd love to get some feed back from the people like you who have downloaded it to see what they thought of the game play and what improvments i could make.
