    Blast Off!!!

    Created by: Ell3ment

    Recommended Players: 4v4, 5v5
    Recommended Gametypes: Fly High

    Here's a recipe ripe and ready for a rip-roaring good time. Take one part grav lift, two parts broken column, and a sprig of KoTH. Combine those with Halo's physics and enjoy an instant classic. Well, luckily enough the recipe's been baked and we're here to showcase this delicious concoction of fun.

    This tasty treat hovers feet above Sandbox's mid-level and encases all of the essential ingredients, those being two-opposing teams. One team rains brute and rocket fire down to deter any would-be player looking for a grav-lift ride to heaven, or as close as they can get. It's not that simple though (things never are) as your team must strategize to gain the most hill-time possible. So download, and prepare to have a blast going sky high.

    Holy ****ing win, batman.

    The rocket ship looks beautiful, and the way the creator utilized the hilarious physics of halo are great. I love this map.

    First.

    This really deserved the feature. I remember all the good times in playing this game. Helpful Hint: Try throwing the gravity lift in the corner connecting four blocks. They will all four go up and I guaruntee you will be in the air a whole lot longer. Not that much fun for the people who are shooting, but lots of fun for the people trying to score the points in the hill.Congrats on the feature.

    I am really glad to see this getting featured. This is the first time in a long time when I can say that the forgehub feature process has done something right. This really is a great mini game and I reccomend everyone to try it. I would download it, but I already have it :D.

    Congratulations ell3ment

    True that Dow. I've always loved this map, and it's great that it's getting some well-needed recognition here. And the fact that it's a minigame show that games like these can have chance to get featured. Congrats Ell3ment.

    As soon as I played this map, I knew it was well worthy of a feature. It's unique, well made and a whole lotta fun! All the aspects of a great map are filled. I enjoyed playing this with my friends. Congrats Ell3ment, it's well deserved!

    This is an amazing WIN feature. From testing to after this map has always been amazing, and deserves a spot on everyone's map list. It has made a home in mine and i play this game every time i get a big party going.

    This wasnt featured allready? Wow...

    But this is an amazing map and game. The only problems that I had were that I could fly to the top and jump outside of the map and certain blocks get stuck.... Other than that- This is one of my favorite mini games.

    It took ya'll long enough. I'm surprised it's been two months since the map came out. Did the write-up actually take that long? :lol: Anyhow, I'm glad you guys finally decided to feature it. Like that guy said, this is definitely 'an amazing WIN feature'. My friends and I had a ton of fun playing this map. I can't wait until that v2 comes out! :happy:

    Cool. I always thought that this was really creative, and deserved to be featured. It took awhile, but it's finally here!

    DAMMIT!
    I always said I would be so ****ING ANGRY if this got featured!

    But oh well, it seems some people enjoy constantly deploying grav lifts. That or constantly reloading a brute shot. But either way, congrats on the feature Ell3ment..
    A lot of my friends enjoy this, and I'm actually quite sad I don't, because EVERYONE ****ing plays this.. all the time!

    I guess that means something, you did a good job! Once again, congratulations! =)
