This complex once hosted crucial inter-government meetings. Obviously they didn't go so well.

 

This map is a spiritual successor to my Far Cry Instincts Evolution map by the same name.  It is designed to appear as the base level of a grandiose government building.  There are many lines of sight and not many safe areas so expect long range fights despite the majority being indoors.

There are a few spots off the beaten path that you can camp at - just keep an eye out for camping stools.

This map is being submitted as my Team Slayer entry into the Forgetacular Contest at Bungie.net.  Thanks to all of my supporters who want this in matchmaking.  If I'm lucky we will get our wish ;)

Wow, it looks really good. I'd review this but #1 I don't have an XBOX and #2 I don't have 'Reach' (why would I, I don't have an Xbox!). I have however played 'Reach' and have made a small level in 'Forge' and know the difficulties of making a map. So based on the video and photos I'd give it a '10' but I can't rate it because I haven't tried it.

If I ever do get it I'll post a real review but for now I can't so TTFN (Ta Ta For Now? You know, Tiger from Winnie the Pooh? Ah forget it!)! B)

Oh and BTW nice job on only dying twice!

I really like this map, this for me is one of the first real Quality maps on Reach. Your attention to detail, was at the time new and exciting. And of course you followed through with this on your next maps, keeping a easy to identify style that made everyone know "This is a Toastman Map"

This map also shines in its layout, its simple enough for new players to pickup. But complex enough to keep players moving and not finding one spot to hide (but I still have a few spots I hang around..) The height is also a fun feature, running up the central stairs and seeing players up on the upper balcony and deciding right there whether to fight or make a mad dash for the stairs.

The Turret room is also a favorite, two nodes make it less campable. Its also just fun to drop down and rain death on the ground with the turret.

I guess my one complaint is.. well we don't play it enough! Well we need to get together and have a weekly server again, and play all of the fun maps. My real negative is, I'll get back to you ;)

A fun map, a real "Classic" if that term can even be used yet. If you get Halo Reach, make sure you check out this map first. Its one of those maps that everyone has fun on!
