    Anchor Estate
    Created by geranamo

    Recommended Players: 1+
    Recommended Gametype: Slayer



    Sorry folks, no lame puns or insensitive jokes here; all I can do is lay here staring dumbfounded at a piano… with a full set of keys, an open lid, a bench, and even what appears to be a fall. It is just mind blowing, almost as cool as the theater with full seating and a backstage, or the park outside and all of the tables and benches. Of course, the pool table is just flat out astounding. Real pool cues and balls are nice and make the effect, but the detail put into everything else is wonderfully done, and uses everything in ways you can’t believe. The large Anchor crest atop the stairs is almost as cool as the rest of this. Oh, I forgot to mention that this is a forge map. Created in Halo: Reach.

    You would think that making black and white piano keys, or going into enough detail to have every last bit of said piano accurate almost to the letter would be a challenge in-of-itself. I would probably say the same about the crest, or the pool table, or the theater, or the park, but nobody could imagine combining this all together. Then adding a bar and a patio. geranamo clearly put an unparalleled amount of effort into this, and in turn deserves much praise. Cheers brother, you did well!

    yeah when I saw the piano I was astounded. That must have taken some very delicate work.

    I remember walking around on this thing. ****ing amazing, I gawked at the piano for a while, watched the play Master Chief and Juliet in the theater, took a swim, grabbed a drink in the bar, and went and had a lovely dinner in the park. Totally deserved.

    A well deserved feature. The sheer detail of Anchor Estate was jaw dropping. Really loved the pool table room, with the bar & the grav-lift fireplace.

    You forgot the sink and drink machine! The way he made the piano will remain a mystery to us all.
