    Description:

    As some of you may know this map has been released before, and it was good but it could of been better. Well here i am to give you the New and Improved map that i like to call Artifacts. Why do i call It Artifacts, well with all the structures that have gold in them it kinda reminds of ancient times where the world made structures out of gold for there loved empire.

    This map has had many testers and well you all know who you are, if you forgot then i will say it here, all the testers for this map is everyone who has played the map and left me something that they liked or didn't like about the map. some of the most common dislikes were the man cannon and the center, i fixed both so the game shall play much smoother. These pictures will show you the awesomeness of this map.

    unique, interesting. I like how the bases are built. small and closed, but feels very well as a variable. nice job =)

    did you even download and play this?

    sorry if i come off ass a JackA** but i don't want to hear how the map plays if you haven't played it. i just don't like people judging off the pics, i believe people need to get into the game and play it for there selfs to see how the map really plays.

    Its ok, although i dont really see much of a difference. Instead on each pic saying something like " Its a bit different " Could you acutally point out what is different? Because i honestly dont want to download this and look for them.

    Hey man i checked out the version you sent me. I see you only changed a few things since the tour you gave me last week. But I can securely say that this map is complete and it has my full approval for the featured library. I'm glad you got this posted in time for your XF feature. Once again, a fantastic map and congrats!

    want to know the difference?

    They are the spawns, the middle territory, weapon placements are different, territories are different and the mirror is different. this map didn't need that many improvements but the ones that needed it were huge, so i changed them all. you should download this map instead of keeping the old one.

    YAAAAY... updated!

    The lights were my idea lol. And there's no more spikes! This updated version is so filled with epic awesomesauce. All the changes you made are definitely for the best. Sad you had to change the spawn rooms though... I liked those. Very nice job.

    this map looks very good from the pictures. i just downloaded it so please dont whine. i like your ceiling, very open in some parts and enclosed in others which makes for great gameplay.
    once i play this i might add more of my opinion.
    5/5

    Upgrade

    Ok I have had and played a couple of versions of this map and have gotten rave reviews from everyone. The aesthetics are obviously beautiful and rank up with some of the best maps Ive seen and sufice it to say ive seen nearly all that have ever been on this site. I wouldn't have changed the center section of the map by blocking of that little camp spot. I know the Conquest purists wont agree but I like it and it plays well.

    Great job. Should be a forgehub favorite.

    Thanks for the rave review, i just wished everyone else would look at this map for its playing and for its beauty. Gold Rush came out around the same time that my map did and most people skipped over my map to see GunnerGrunts map, which btw is a great map. i just sometimes wish people would look at both of our maps the same, since they are both great maps.

    Wow. Looks amazing great job I really like the layout. The only thing is that truthfully it looks a little like a--nevermind. Keep up the good work. By the way, I know conquest maps are usually a hallway or such, but I would like to see what the map would be like if it were more open-ended.

    I really like the look of the territories. It's a nice touch angling the red and blue columns as you did, I haven't really seen too much of that. Overall I feel that's it well balanced and should make for exciting gameplay. 4.5/5

    then center territory looks so cool, i like the colums coming out of the wall in there and its cool how you can see your enemys when you first spawn, its like orbital...

    well thanks i do like how the spawns turned out, although i did like the spawning system that i had before, this way did turn out well. i also feel that this map looks like it could be one that bungie would make. now only if it would get featured...

    I really like the center territory mainly because it has some unique and well done structures and a wide open area that is sufficient for the game play.

    I don't really have any complaint about this map, but my main recommendation is that it is better to transfer the location of the map to the main sandbox area because it makes the game play more exciting since the lighting is better in my opinion.

    Great job. Hope to see more from you.

    nice job

    well thanks
    and i did this map in the crypt to get this kinda of lighting, i wanted it look different from other maps in lighting and for me to get this i just simply made it in the Crypt

    thanks and yea this map is a lot of fun to play, but my only concern with your post is you said i needed more interlocks and i was just wondering where you think i should do that. When i play this map nothing sicks out or jabs at you, the only thing i can see where your talking about interlocking is on the walls where they are flush. so if you could clear this up on where i needed more interlocking to bring it up to your standards then please do so.




    thanks to everyone that has played this map and to all the great remarks i been getting on this map. only if i could get featured then i think my job will be done

    This map looks very promising. I did a run through of the map by myself, and it looks great! Your ver.1 was very good, but the improvments in this probably change it for the better.Although I never get to play a good conquest game because my friends don't like competitive games. If you could, invite me next time! But overall, I really like the map, it's very well made, and the aesthetic are very pleasing too. I give it a 4.5/5 for now.
