    Okay, here goes: I am a big fan of viewing other's map variants, and I feel that I am an at least average forger myself. This map is one that I have been tweaking for awhile now, but it is without overlapping since I only recently learned this trick. This has been sitting in my fileshare with no downloads yet, so here I am! I hope you enjoy my map!

    The map is based upon Foundry, and is a basic symetrical castle shape. I mostly play Slayer, but I imagine that it is also fitting for other game types as well. I was initially going for a map that played like the twisting maze-like layouts of the Wolfenstein series, hence the name. There are numerous weapons, yet the map does not "feel" overloaded. There are a well hidden Gravity Hammer and Energy Sword, as well as sniping spots and a missle launcher for the centralized tower. There is a small passageway around the perimeter of the castle to quickly get to the action.

    Here is the map link: Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details

    I will pre-apologize for newbie mistakes I have made in this post or in the Map. The important thing is that I had fun making it, and I hope you have fun playing it. I think it's pretty good.

    And here are a few screenshots:

    Thanks!

    Yep. Apparently I missed something in the "embed your pictures" thread.

    You mean sandbox*
    And you might want to prevent double posting (posting twice in a row, with no post inbetween) in the future.

    And here's the problem:
    Your map is pretty basic, not advanced forging techniques were used, and it includes too many jumps. Although it may be an interesting map, the community will be far less interested in it if it doesn't look good.
    Browse the Forging 101 section, and maybe make a v2.0 of the map.

    Here's things that might be of interest:
    -Interlocking
    -Advanced Interlocking & Merging
    -Geomerging
    -Advanced Geomerging

    Hope I've been of any help - I'd like to see more advanced work from you in the future :)

    Thanks for the reply Spirit. I have some other Sandbox maps I am experimenting with merging and interlocking, but I haven't been able to come up with anything good. And I always mix up Sand Trap and Sandbox. Must be a mental block!
