The maps plays in a similar fashion but with it's own unique style. Lots of thought went into the design process of this map and many different stuctures were drawn out as ideas. After 2 weeks of designing, the map took around 4 days to make including all of the test playing. The map is set up for basically every gametype in the form of Slayer, Team and Multi Team settings. Recommended match and Gametype: Slayer on Reminiscent (8 players max) Weapon Loadout: 4 x Battle Rifle 2 x Covenant Carbine 2 x Assault Rifle 1 x Sniper Rifle 1 x Gravity Hammer 1 x Shotgun 1 x Brute Shot 1 x Needler 2 x Plasma Rifle 1 x SMG 2 x Spiker 1 x Plasma Pistol 1 x Magnum Equipment Loadout: 1 x Overshield 1 x Active Camo 1 x Bubble Shield 1 x Regenerator Plasma grenades have been placed suitably around the map.

Looks really solid from the pictures Waz. I'll give it a download and try it out. I especially love the use of wood merged with the rock - gives it a really unique look. I'm curious - could you give a little more information in terms of where the teleport(s) lead to? Are they one way only? Cheers, and once again - great work. ~Sik P.s - you posted this to Atlas yet!? ;o)
The teleporter information is in the Youtube video which i'm uploading again because of the copyrighted music. I'll link it within the next hour. I'm typing up the Atlas post at the moment. Thanks!
Awesome. I'll make sure I give it some attention over there too dude. I'll come back with any thought on it after I've played it (Left 4 Dead DLC comes first tonight however!)
I can see where your map resembles Guardian and Blackout. My favorite resemblences are the elbow and the center structure. I really admire each base, as well. Great job.
impressive, i have to say this map is very eye catching, especially as i can clearly see the resemblence to guardian and blackout (two of my favourite maps :]) ill give it a download and have a mess around later today. 4/5
Wow, this looks really nice. Although I don't like the idea of teleporters on a map (camping ensues). You should call it "Guardout". How did you get guys with recon to play with you?
The Atlas post is now up. I decided to use teleporters instead of man cannons due to man cannons being unreliable in directing players. (especially in laggy conditions). Teleporter camping is not an issue as the receiver nodes can be seen from the postion of the sender nodes and through playtest, this never cropped up as an issue.
Looks awesome, it's a good remake-combo-type-thing map. But just as constuctive criticism I'm not sure about the whole "sniper & nearby overshield" and "shotgun & nearby Active Camouflage" thing. the powerups seem to be a bit close to the power weapons. But if it hurts, it works, I guess!
Very nice. I've always loved Guardian and Blackout/Lockout, and have wanted to see some similar designs made in Forge. Until now though, I've not seen many good ones.
Mini, hey! OMG YOU HAS RECON TOO??? Lol, just kidding. Though, I've quit Xbox, I still like to look at some maps. Nice map, by the way. Looks good, the only thing I would suggest would be to merge that mancannon under the map. Other than that, 5/5!
Hey nice job ill give it a download and check it out.Its pretty neat so ya.I like every thing so its perfect you dont need to change a thing.:0)
OMG i just played a game of slayer on your map, and i have to say, i absolutely loved it! the layout is fantastic! the weapon spawns are spot on, and the cover is just right. however, i did find 1 small thing that i wasnt to sure about: when u pick up the sniper, u can see straight across to the top of the man cannon area, and when i shot someone who was above the man cannon once, he dropped down... normally when this happens i would drop down underneath and make sure he doesnt get away.. but on here it just isnt possible...so IMO a dropdown from the sniper tower to the ground floor could be quite good, but thats just my opinion so w/e. anyways congrats on a brilliant map! well done! keep forging !
Easily reconizable "Areas" to call out. Map is beautifully made with seemless lines, something I have come to expect from Mini. I like how you took the "elbow" concepts that Bungie used on Guardian and Lockout. I am very impressed with how well thought out the layout of the map is. Seems as if it would be a map you could tread and easily remember how to get from point A to B. Which alot of maps lack. Very well done Mini. I would love to play some games on it! 10/10!!!!
Thanks so much, it means a lot when someone make a lengthy and helpful review. I decided against the third level on the Sniper Tower as i didn't really want the sniper to be able to dominate the map. If i had the bottom level then the sniper would be able to cover most of the power weapons. The bottom level is still there but it's basically rotated 90 degrees.
This map is well done. I do like Blackout/Guardian/Lockout. But does look like they may have influenced you too much. It mostly looks as if you took pieces from each and put them together. it is good tho. 4.5/5
that is a good mixture between guardian and blackout/lockout. i love small maps like them. personally, i dont exactaully see the need to put some teleporters, even though it was for camping most likely. well it looks like a nice map for gameplay. will have to give it a DL and a test
