I'm sorry to say but Luke has left the community. Please don't let that get in the way of what I really want to say though. I want to say that this post means a lot because any member who's been around from Spring last year knows that that was a much different time and can absolutely see the difference between then and now. And any member who's stuck around knows that even though this place has changed, it's been for the better and although members have left we have still remained close. The older members still have that in common that we all cling to but we also make friends with the new members to help them feel wanted and to build new ties. Thanks for this post TsicksSense. I still remember when you were a green

These underwater maps that are coming out are truly awesome looking and I have yet to play on one but this one caught my eye simply through its name. I like it.

Oh I guess that's been gone a while now... ... Now scroll back up and read it all over again. This post has been promoted to an article

Next Saturday join our Halo 3 Community Play Date. That's all I'm saying

This map was very fun Wraith but I think it could do with less vehicles and maybe more cover. I'm no Forger but that's just my opinion from playing last night in Vincent's lobby

Very interesting map, it looks like Escalation from Halo 2 in some aspects and it looks like it would have fast competitive play. Also, great sig.

Well she was also in the Librarian and Sentinel's care at some point for a brief period of time while the Librarian was talking to John

PLEASE keep going with this. Please. And give her a name eventually, I think that'll build the character develop in a great way.

What map? Midship?

I don't think maps need to be symmetrical necessary to be balanced. I think a power weapon or powerup in the middle to bring on a competitive race for it. Equal cover on both sides along with equal leveling so that one side does not have a height advantage over the other. Equal amounts of ammo on both sides is good too

This is a very good looking remake of Ascension but I suggest removing the Magnum on the map and lowering the amount of grenades to make players rely more on saving their ammo. Again though great looking remake.

This is beautiful. I can't wait to give this map a try

This sounds very cool I can't wait to see pictures!

Wow this looks very well done I like it. I was also a fan of Asylum from Reach because Asylum itself is a remake of the map Sanctuary from Halo 2. Looks good However, now don't quote me on this cuz Psychoduck will tell you for sure, but I think THFE is looking for original maps in their submissions. Don't let this ruin what I said up there though!

Dude Gryffin nice map. If you join the Halo 4 Play Date at the end of the month I hope we get a chance to play on here. It's got a great story and it looks like it has that eerie feel of suspense on Flood. You know where you know they're coming and they're probably close but you can't see them but you're afraid they can see you and then suddenly you hear that loud scream they make like HHRRRAAAAAA and they slash you and your dead. Like I said, good map.
