    This map is a Valhalla remake designed for maximum carnage, in and out of vehicles. This map is not intended to reinvent the game of Halo, but just to be a fun map for people who like explosive, chaotic, large maps.

    The map has a Covenant vs. Human theme, with each side having a base. The vehicles do not have a 1-1 ratio; I felt that 2 Wraiths offset 1 Scorpion, etc. Other tweaks and suprises include teleporters, a minefield, and a stocked armory (rockets, lasers, etc.) near the center of the map.

    Your feedback is welcome.

    Ideal for: Team Slayer (2 teams), Team King (stationary hill), CTF

    Human Base (blue base)
    -1 Scorpion
    -2 Hornets
    -2 Mongoose (geese?)

    Covenant Base (red)
    -2 Wraiths
    -3 Banshees
    -2 Ghosts

    *2 warthogs also on map

    FYI, Valhalla is the Norse heaven; Ragnarok is the Norse apocalypse.

    Look, I really like that your a new member and I dont ant you to quit because of the above comments, because it's probably a fun map.... to play with people you know.

    The ony problems with the covenant vs human thing is that covenant weapons and human eapons are NOT balanced at all. Covenant weapons are good at taking down shields and then don't do much, whereas human weapons have a more steady take down. Also, the covenant bansee is way more manuverable than the human hornet, which makes it unfair.
    Second, Its just been done too many times before.

    The fusion coil feild woould often make the game lag and the massive anti vehicle weaponry would soon have everyone just running around out of the vehicles which is not what your going for.

    You obviously want to be a part of this community, but what really gets you noticed is posting right the first time (Good Job!) and also the second is to have an origional idea pulled off with interlocking and geomerging, or at least make it look good. Many of us spend weeks planning and testing maps, and often ( or at least I) still fail sometimes but it feels good to put something out there that you know you like.

    On that note , Keep forging, I don't want you to leave because the community has seemed to be slowing down.

    Love,
    Zachary9990

    Im glad you posted your map correctly good job.
    Ok, the map looks nice however it looks rushed, I think you were in a hurry to post a map. This is not to offend you, you did a good job for your first map
    However not a lot of people are fans of armories for it sometimes makes the game a bit unfair.
    Other than that welcome to forgehub and keep forging.

    cleric, a lot of the above people were way too harsh. @The cruel people- he's obviously a beginning forger and this is supposed to be just a fun map, so what's wrong? Anyone can post a map here, that's why it's casual.

    Don't worry cleric, they don't really mean to be mean (no pun intended). It's just that there are so many awesome maps here on forgehub that whenever a normal map is posted it seems mediocre. I hope you understand.

    Oh, I didn't notice that. I'm guessing he didn't know, though. Thanks for telling me. cleric, ask a mod and he will move it for you. Just post and say you'd like it moved.

    I like how it is on vahalla and I like vahalla maps. I just think that you should spread out some weapons and not make an armory. Also, what is up with the minefield? Make it artillery.
