    TARRASQUE is a symmetrical two-base CTF map designed for 8 players. Taking place in ancient Sangheili ruins as the covenant begins to destroy them. It features covenant energy shields at the bottom of each base that through teamwork can be disabled for a quick flag run, and the maps weapons and powerup are centered on this mechanic. The map utilizes several jumps to get around, and uses lighting and scenery to differentiate between the two sides.

    I love these cliche symmetrical maps and wanted to make one that is really fun, engaging, and most of all vertical. I was inspired mostly by beaver creek, sanctuary, and the rainbow six siege map. I've been forging since halo 3 as a way to relax, but this is really the first time I think I have made something good enough to be tested. my worries are that I have too many weapons, but not enough rifles and that my lighting is messed up a bit but I cant seem to fix it. Any words of wisdom on either of these topics would be great. though I am very open to criticism on how to improve this in any way.

    UPDATE:
    -made the base interior more open
    -removed the doorway in the front of the base to promote going in from the top
    -replaced rockets with grinder gravity hammer, the blood of suban with carbines, and the wicked grasps with plasma casters. the blood of subans will be brought back once they fix the req spare ammo bug.
    -decreased piece count by about 200 pieces to increase performance/ help the awful lighting problems. it didn't really help. dont really know what to do about this.
    -will post new screenshots sometime this weekend.

    ALSO: I'm having a bug where its reverting the name in the file browser to what it was when I first saved the map. I don't know whats wrong but it may come up as THITCHS. It's really strange and I can't figure it out so I assume it's something on 343's side.
