[SIZE=+3]Unethical[/SIZE] YouTube - Maps of Halo Reach Ep27: (Unethical) [SIZE=+1]History:[/SIZE] Unethical is a map that I have been creating ever since Halo 3. The original name for my halo 3 version of my map was Taboo. I put thirty hours into creating it. Geomerging, interlocking, and budget glitching were all part of the foundation of my map. I often found myself frustrated due to the time consumption and slow progress as I worked on my dream map. But after weeks of work I quit due to other things in my life forcing me to put them higher on my priority list. After six months of not forging, I spotted a video Bungie released that displayed forge 2.0. Eager to forge again, I made a design using CS2 InDesign. I contributed a numerous ammount of views to youtube as I watched the vidoc repetitively, trying to memorize every little detail I could. The hardest part was trying to visualize the size proportions of the new pieces, but I finally came up with a more sophisticated design of my map taboo. At midnight I picked up my copy of Reach and raced home. Sticking it into my 360, I fired up the forge. I completely skipped multiplayer matchmaking and campaign, all I cared about was forge. Unfortunately, my redesign of Taboo was to large and I had to spend a couple extra hours in forge observing my predicament. After fifteen hours of straight forging, I finally posted my map on forgehub under the name Chaotic Realm. It was the first one up and I couldn't wait to see peoples reaction. The results were great, people downloaded my map and I received 400+ downloads. But the next day, I play tested Chaotic Realm and the results were terrible. After a couple of hours of rethinking what was wrong with the flow, I decided that a version 2 was in order. After changing up rocket base, removing a teleporter, etc. I finally released it. The community reacted even better to version two of my map, reaping in over 600 downloads. I was satisfied with what I had released to the public. Months went by and I saw others in the community release their maps that they had kept under cover and they blew me away. Yes my map played well but it didn't look anything like theirs, so I decided to go to the drawing board again last november. By that time, Chaotic Realm v2 had over three months of testing and I knew exactly what needed to be changed. Originally I had in mind Chaotic Realm V3 but once I finished forging it, it was so vastly different, that I felt it deserved a new name. After a week of thinking, I settled on the name Unethical. Unethical is a symmetrical map built in the colliseum. It works best with two flag ctf and 4v4 team slayer. Hope you enjoy the map.

Seems like an interesting layout with many options for moving across the map. You made really good use of the forge area, not too full and not to sparse with a variety of different sized areas and sight lines. I also liked you telling of the history of the map. You should fix your thumbnail picture though, so others will want to check the map out. If you are having trouble with it, click the edit button on your maps thread. Click the "go advanced" button.

Very impressive...honestly I never downloaded chaotic realm...but this version looks many times better from the before and after shots...Youve added more aesthetic value to it and more cover through that making this map play better and look better...the map has an interesting layout...in the before I could barly see what was what with all the open bridges everywhere on the map...but with the after it looks clean and has plenty of cover making this version look professional...although the weapons on the map seem to worry me just a bit but it might just be me...keep up the good work...
