    *DARES AND LIES*

    Disclaimer: I'm not very good at this forge business. I wanted to [finally] make a map that would look half way decent and be fun to play on. I used Truth as a template because it's one of the easier maps to understand. You won't find much envelope pushing or innovating here because I'm not the guy who is going to redefine the boundaries of competitive 4v4 map design in halo 5. That said I am proud of what I've done here, I stand behind it, and I do want to make the best possible version of this idea. A creature that is half man and half unicorn would be called a manicorn.

    ***

    4v4 map based on Truth (oh no! Another one?! Yea... sorry?...) and trying to incorporate a playable bottom mid section (for potential flag runs) and more developed (larger) bases. There is also a sizable deathpit and a Construct-style 2 tiered bridge, and no P3 location.

    Map is ready for play testing and supports slayer, strongholds, CTF, and FFA.

    The map is pretty much in blockout phase. I had more of an aesthetic but the frame drop was getting serious so I scrapped it.



    ***

    I owe a huge shout to @BodeyBode and @xdemption. They showed up when I was out of ideas and ready to throw in the towel and ended up getting me really excited about a new direction and a bit more purpose.

    So for both their good timing, their energy, and their general forge-genius, I offer a very sincere "thank you, gentlemen."

    Hey man! I appreciate the dedication to the simplicity of Truth. Dont let anyone tell you you can't make 4 base symmetrical maps. Make whatever you want!

    That being said, there's something slightly off about the textures, lighting and colours. I see where you're going with it, but I could possibly take a look and get the visuals to 100% :)

    I appreciate the support man. Im bad with aesthetics, plus I had to delete a lot of what I'd originally put in there for the sake of frame rate. You're more than welcome to take a stab at putting some lipstick on this mutt but I think ur gona see the frames take a dump.
