P.S. Forge Hub sorry about my prveious post (this map wasnt forrmated right but i fixed it and thank you) DOWNLOAD Battle Grounds:http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=18749076 CHALLENGE, do you accept? There is a hidden spartan laser on the map heres a hint, its near one of the bases, when u find it, post a pic ************HERES SOME COMMENTS FROM PLAYERS************** It's a lot better than what I've ever made. I loooove the overtop Foundry feature via the Teleporter. I also like the two bases that are suspended in the air. For those reasons, I just hosted an AMAZING Shotty Snipers game (featuring your map). I haven't tried it with the other Slayer gametypes yet. But it looks great! Good map, keep it up, PM me if you have some new stuff Cheers! ~Doc This kinda reminds me of a map I'm working on, but this is deffinately more aestetic, it loooks great. ~poopiedeloopie God's gift to gaming Dld the map...like it a lot. Nice job. ~Atheos23 Looks like a map I would like. The bunker ideas are great; having 4 guys hold up in there firing on everyone else would be fun. Seems like this map would work best with 10-12 people. Good job ~b3ware Looks good! I like the sniper towers ~MNM1245 ok i would like to say that this is a well designed map i give it a 5 out of 5 ~edox54007 Some great ideas, nice work. ~EL173 R3Ap3r 257 brilliant ~McNab 1 spitfire, best slayer map ever 5 out of 5. keep it up ~snowball277 This map looks killer .I give this map a 5/5 ~Hunter288jmg
Re: Battle Grounds Don't double post; just edit your thread with messages like these. Bumping your thread here is a sure way to turn people off.
Re: Battle Grounds Yes I second squiddy. Also you should really avoid taking screenshots from forge, it isn't appealing to viewers to see all the spawn points, try to take a screenshot from a game video with no names or other player indicators in view unless it is an action shot. Otherwise this is a great post, solid map and detailed desription.
Re: Battle Grounds! (A uniqe map) Found it. I had to dissect the whole friggin map in Forge until I finally saw the wall propped up there and then I was like...Crap...Wow. ~Doc
Re: Battle Grounds! (A uniqe map) good job, but i forgot to mention u cant use forge (too late) So what do you think of this map?

Re: Battle Grounds! (A uniqe map) please change your thread title to only your map's title. It is a Forge Hub requirement and helps keep our forums looking alot cleaner, separating us from the garbage at BNet
Re: Battle Grounds! (A uniqe map) The only issue I found with the map was in the overtop Foundry feature, you need to walk into the teleporter really slowly, as well as take care when walking across the rafters, otherwise, you just fall off and then you have 15 snipers aiming at you. But that's probably a problem not with your map itself but with Foundry itself -- Bungie didn't make it so you could balance yourself well because...you're not supposed to be up there in the first place. Good map, keep it up, PM me if you have some new stuff Cheers, ~Doc
Re: Battle Grounds! (v1.2) [red] thanks dude thats a problem with the foundry not my map (i think) u dont have to walk in slowly (at least i dont) JUST DONT JUMP and yes you have to be very carefull when youre on the catwalks
Re: Battle Grounds! (A uniqe map) Ahh Double post... >_< But looking at the screenshots closely, it looks like you should seal up the sniper towers a tad bit more.
Re: Battle Grounds! (v1.2) Things that would improve your map: Turn all your closed single and double boxes upside down and interlock them together so that they are smoother to walk on as well as more appealing. The ground floor seems really bare, you might want to ass some more cover for players that are bound to spawn down there when opponents are up top. Dont take as many screenshots in Forge, one is sufficient. Its good to see one pic in Forge so that we can see the spawns seem to be alright, but the bright blue spawns take away from your actual map in most pictures. Other than that i would just say take a look at the Forging 101 section we have here at the site. The video tutorials and articles are very helpful and will imprve your forging skills 3-fold. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future
Re: Battle Grounds! (A uniqe map) Haha, Im downloaded it, next time I have Halo night with all my friends this will be the first we try out, I will get back to you in about a week about how the gameplay is The top level looks great but bottom might be majorly underpowered, if you want I can help you playtest for version 2, to help make the bottom level not so hostile abdn barron.
Re: Battle Grounds! (v1.2) u may be right but the bottom level has rockets, BR's, AR's, swords, shotty's and sentinal beams
Re: Battle Grounds! (v1.2) if i was on top though, you wouldnt live long enough to even get to the rockets. just somethin to think about
