    Wow, that is an AWESOME idea! I would have never thought to use campaign missions as maps. It looks like it is a great competitive map, and the forging is amazing, too! I am definitely downloading this right away and playing with my friends. 5/5

    EDIT: Just queued for download. It says 0 downloads on bungie.net 'cus you have to actually go and let it DL onto your hard drive, I think.

    Wow Very nice! I have been waiting for you to release ever since you posted the teaser. It is pretty well forged and pretty exact. I love it and I think the gameplay will be awesome. Nice Job!

    Very nice, only thing i think you could add would be more cover on the open portions of the map. You could also add some more aesthetic touches to make the map look more appealing instead of so "flat" This kind of reminds me of a map i saw a while back that was made on foundry for "The Storm".

    Wish i could find it.

    I have to agree with everyone else and say that it was an incredible idea. I think instead of rebuilding past maps, we should start rebuilding campaign levels like you oh so kindly introduced. Great remake, it wasn't the best map I've ever seen but it was well past par. Some was a tad sloppy however.

    simply said, not everything is meant for re-creation. Therefore, this counts as too open, too low, needs multi-leveled floors....

    a few things i would do is, for the tower of power, for the top floor, i would add some shoot through walls going out into the main hallway, like two or two and a half far.

    Also add some stairs on the side instead of jumping. make it using bridges.

    Also for the long wallway of the tower of power, top level, pls add some big blocks as the weapon holders like in the campaign, but if there is those weapon holders in sandbox, i would use those, and add the weapons in those places. and add some borders, use the small ramps for that.

    For the attacker building where sgt. johnson was held, i would add a shield door back there and the covenant weapon holder thingies.

    Also some things you forgot that i suggest you add is on the Attackers side, the opening of the forest part above it, but only part of it, and the mart going down on the side.

    And for the Defenders side i would add the long hallway in the back above the attackers base where the skull was, and dnot forget the hole in the roof where sgt. johnson was held.
    Also on the attackers side is the big building behind sgt. johnson's base, but dont put in any windows, only the pillars once in a while

    still though, a definite download for me. make a v2

    recreation = 4/5
    gameplay = 3.5/5/

    just fix those

    It could be if you add more cover, just needs a v2

    I understand what you are saying but it wont be a direct remake down to every detail because somethings needed a little change for competitive purpose. I under stand andill try to change those things but i cant really add anything else.

    Sorry my man, but I don't think you represented this map very well, its too flat, the buildings are basically stacked double blocks, not too much room, and aesthetically speaking, it needs work...

    I loved the idea to recreate this map, because it has a good style and can be considered a conquest map. I just really think you need to re-do many things, and try your hardest to get details right, because buildings are curved near top, not just big squares

    This is a terrific idea. To be honest I always had an idea in my head that bungie should make a multiplayer map mirroring the last chapter of the 1st level in halo 3. I somewhat forgot about that idea untill now. The map looks fair enough in the forging, but I think that you should expand on it a little more. It's a bit down sized, isn't it? That's not a problem but I can see some things that I would fix up just a bit though. This map is a great idea and overall decently forged. 4/5 keep forging! :)

    I think a lot of the problems come from the fact that it's too open, as others have said, and that it's a bit too big. It worked in campaign when it was pretty large because of the volume of enemies. Here, at most you've got 8 guys rushing across the dam, not 20 or so. Shrink it a bit, that should make it a little better, and then you'll have more items to make it a bit more aesthetically pleasing.

    You should add the back area with the generators in, and a bit more cover, like random crates strewn about. They had that in the campaign mission if I recall so why not here. It looks really good though, so I'm going to DL. Oh and put the window in the top of the prison building, I can't tell if it's there in the picture.
