Hello everyone, RaInCrY22 here, I have just watched the making of halo 4 part 2 and had come up with a brilliant, yet simple trait that 343 Industries may want to add into the game. Okay here's my idea : Scorpion/vehicle Emblem customization. When watching the video I noticed the new scorpion was so detailed that it actually had a skull emblem on the side + I think the UNSC logo. Imagine this.. You enter a scorpion tank, and the emblem changes to your current emblem, which will then display on the outside of the tank. COOL ENOUGH FOR YOU?!? How about.. 10 tanks with the same emblem on the side - awesome enough for theatre mode? Teams would have a whole new detail to enhance video 'uniqueness'. NOW FOR ALL THE FORGERS ! - LIKE MYSELF, I <3 FORGE Now that my brain is bubbling with ideas, I think it would also be cool if they could make a 'plate' - like the objective plate shape you see in forge mode, or even a square one. Imagine if it could display YOUR unique emblem, then PLACE THAT BAD BOY ON YOUR BASE! Don't forget, my main focus is customizing emblems on vehicles. Try to get enough attention to this so that 343 might consider it! Remember, the game is less than 60 days away from being released!

I was wondering about the new palettes for the new forge environments. First off, I thought that there was going to be four forge environments, not three. This displeases me slightly however. In that space envionment (I forgot the name of it), there was some tunnel pieces, which inspires me to make a basic racing map. I also like the oceanic palette, it reminds me of the forge world's lagoon and shorelines. Anyhoo, I was wondering what you thought about the palettes, because I was excited about th enew forge vidocs. BTW, if you want to know why the text is so big, it is because I am no longer going here on computer, I am on the XBOX's Internet Explorer, and it is hard to read from four to five feet from the screen, so yeah.

So The Question Of What Will You Build First In Forge Has Been Rolling Around But Now The Question Is Where? Now that we know the locations to choose from where do you think you will forge first? I think I'm going with Impact.

Steampunk is the New Black Forbes has picked up on the trend and located some hot ticket items. From: Forbes The First of these three is awesome but odd. It has a nice wood finish and lettering on the thumb sticks to help you know Right from Left. But it has a key for the home button, I'm not quite sure how easy it would be to check your latest friend request when you have to push on that every time... but heck it looks sweet. Next in line has an amazing wood finish. This one has a cool typewriter layout to it even with the thumb sticks being the shift keys. The A button is set in crooked and has some purposeful damage done to it to make it look authentic. The last one is my favorite. This one makes me think Bethesda Studios or Bioshock all the way. I love the green liquid side panel and the little metal connectors at the bottom. The finish put onto the controller looks amazing and the texture of the thumb sticks and buttons looks amazing. These hot ticket items are selling on eBay for around $350 So make sure you save your allowance for these ones. (Tʜɪs ᴘʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴛ ɪs ɴᴏᴛ ᴀᴄᴛᴜᴀʟʟʏ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏғ ᴡᴏᴏᴅ)

These Two New Vehicles Are BAUS!! Halo 4 is just around the corner and 343i does not want us to get tired of waiting. So here you go some brand new vehicles to check out. One belongs to UNSC and one to Covenant. The Lich and the Broadsword. Broadsword Lich (Sorry for the difference in picture size. Couldn't get them to resize properly.) Both of these bad boys look sweet. I can't wait to give them a spin. Let me know what you think. Source Halo WayPoint View full article

I just thought of a brilliant idea (and I know that the game has gone gold so shush!) What if we make a playlist where you can either play as a Mantis or a Promethean Knight? Figuring that they are bout the same size, It would be like BTB Infection. If only we could have Knights in multiplayer...

This is SweepsP2K, here with my newest linear infection map, Countdown to Destruction. It is my entry into ForgeHub's Hub of the Dead III contest, and may be one of the best maps I have made on Reach. It goes along with the gametype C2D. Story: Countdown to Destruction is set in a ruined city ravaged by natural disasters. High magnitude earthquakes have led to the release of an undead horde sealed away underground long ago. A group of soldiers, the last remaining survivors in the city, must hold off the horde for as long as they can. There is nowhere left to hide. Time is running out...

(It can be shot up the ladder out of the sewer) -Who put this here? (5g) Find the hidden rocket launcher in the first phase. -Secret (50g) Find the hidden easter egg in the sewers.

As a constant YouTuber, I have noticed that their is a couple Halo 4 commercials before any gaming related video. I am yet to see a Halo 4 commercial on public television, an I am starting to wonder if Microsoft is paying their efforts. I am also worried about this low amount of advertisement, for you see, Halo 4 is going to be the biggest game of 2012. On another concern, none of my peer friends at school have said a single thing about the game, probably because most of my friends play Call of Duty: Black Ops and Borderlands 2. I was wondering about your thoughts on the commercials, are they bland, are they annoying, or whatever else you need to give out.

Hey guys, i found a really cool Halo 4 fan made trailer, just wandered what you thought. Also: THIS IS NOT MY VIDEO, I SIMPLY FOUND IT AND HAD TO SHOW IT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL9vCNEsV5w&feature=player_embedded

Halo 4's Forge Menus Get a Close Up Gamespot came out with a video showcasing Halo 4's Forge mode in use. It was in super fast motion so we could really see what he was doing, but no the less we got to see what the pieces looked like. He went very quickly through the menus and did not show us any pieces that we have not already seen. So Halo 4 Follower took that video and took so screenshots of the menu's and then zoomed in. Now we get to see what was on those menus that were basically flown by in the actual video. Here is the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HxK6JTYo1I&feature=plcp Video By Halo4Follower So what do you think about some of the options that we now have? There is a list solely dedicated to the Ravine. There is an entire list dedicated to Dominion Gametype. Let me know what all of this means to you.

Infection is starting to get more scarier! Instead of being a light green spartan,you are now a FLOOD INFECTED SPARTAN!!!!Heres a picture I found on google! SCARY RIGHT!!!!So grab your shotguns and pistols!This is gonna get SCARY!!!

What Everyone Has Been Talking About Is Finally Here Halo 4 is just around the bend, 25 days from now to be exact. But What about the ranking system. Most people were frustrated with Reach's Ranking system. So will it be different or will it be exactly the same. Check out this video for more details. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8_H-vTXeLM&list=UUzGLSfWbq4CiqKFO9lU9HLg&index=3&feature=plcp Video by Ducain23 Also go check out the Halo bulletin for all the details Click Here You now can level up through all game modes, even forge. Let me know what you think about this information.

Halo Bulletin Has Information That Cannot Be Seen By The Naked Eyes Have we been deceived. Have we been lied to this whole time. Secret messages have been found in the latest Halo Bulletin. If you go onto the Halo Waypoint Website and look at the Bulletin you will find secret messages if you just highlight the page. Here is the Bulletin so you can check it out for yourself. Click Here Ducain23 describes it in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrgumePpclo&list=UUzGLSfWbq4CiqKFO9lU9HLg&index=1&feature=plcp Video By Ducain23 So what do you think? Like Ducain23 said I also have no idea what this means. The words are very random. Let me know what you think about this information, and if you figure it out let me know. Heres what it shows: PLNB PRIORITY TRANSMISSION [CLASSIFIED] ENCRYPTION CODE: [CLASSIFIED] PUBLIC KEY: N/A FROM: CODENAME SURGEON TO: CODENAME COALMINER CLASSIFICATION: ELEVENTH HOUR [1/5] SUBJECT: AFTERMATH /FILE EXTRACTION-RECONSTITUTION COMPLETE/ /START FILE/ Decades from now, when historians evaluate the war, what will they say about us? Will they claim that our victory was ultimately fruitless? That it failed to secure a lasting peace, or worse, that it was only a prelude to far greater horrors that now lay ahead? My hope – OUR HOPE – is that history would instead view this war as a catalyst. That the last thirty years were a crucible, a threshing floor for our species, sifting out our fears and frailties. And that ultimately it made us stronger and more vigilant in the end, fully prepared for whatever will come next. After all, what good is struggle if there is no change? What good is a fire if the sword is not made stronger? Attached are four reports accounting the major contingency structures our species currently faces in the wake of the war. Please evaluate them closely. Their outcomes will dictate how history views us, or if history even views us at all. Xenomorphic element [2/5] Martial element [3/5] Provenancial element [4/5] Primogeniture element [5/5] As Machiavelli once said: “the Romans, foreseeing troubles, dealt with them at once, and, even to avoid a war, would not let them come to a head, for they knew that war is not to be avoided, but is only put off to the advantage of others.” Likewise, we must deal with these issues head-on, without fear and without hesitation. We can afford no other stance. /END FILE/ Written down by Unease P34nut

Halo 4 forge option I think you should be able to change the weather of your map that you make in forge. For an example, if your making an infection map you can change it to a thunder storm or you could use the idea for machinimas.

Two Amazing Videos Revealing Some Splinter Cell Info If you like sneaking around in the dark, and snapping peoples necks then you are in the right place. Splinter Cell: Blacklist is an up and coming game in the amazing Splinter Cell Franchise. The original Splinter Cell came out in November of 2002, and this new installment is due to release in Spring of 2013. That makes this game a legendary game with over 10 years of gaming awesomeness. With six games so far, making this the 7th, they have definitely held the audiences attention. In these videos we see a trailer for the game in full review mode, pointing out every little detail. In the second, we get to see Story Mode gameplay, with a "talkthrough" by Maxime Beland, the Creative Director for Splinter Cell: Blacklist. The Second Video is over a month old but it helps get a better picture of the game. They are both pretty lengthy so feel free to just watch part or all. In both you get the gist in just a couple of minutes. The first video takes a 3 minute trailer for the game and extends it to 18:37. But anyways sit back and relax to these awesome Videos. Check it out. Trailer Review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoNRQsy26WY "TalkThrough" Gamplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_W2t2ty-SU Videos by IGN Well I hope you enjoyed and let me know what you think of the new Splinter Cell Game. Splinter Cell: Blacklist to release in Spring of 2013.

Take a Look at the New Promethean Weapons Trailer (With a Twist) Bravo has come out with another one of his wacky quick worded weapons trailer videos. He does a great job at telling you absolutely everything happening in the video while you also get to see the weapons in action. Note there is some swear words, but they are :bleeped out: Here is the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU8n0Eashoo&list=UUq7AJTe2LVeTN_vanfZ5bkw&index=5&feature=plcp Video by BravoMLG It took me a while to get this one up for some reason, but here it is. Just wanted to shed some humor on our beloved Halo. Tell me what you think and like if you thought it was entertaining.

Get The Edge On The Competition With These MLG Strategy Guides Bravo came out with a Dominion Strategy Video a couple of weeks ago. That video got taken down for using video footage that 343 didn't want to be on the internet. But I bring to you today that same video done again. This video has some language but it is :Bleeped out: Enjoy the video and tell me what you think of these strategies. Here is the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJJYtqqsiqs&amp;list=UUq7AJTe2LVeTN_vanfZ5bkw&amp;index=2&amp;feature=plcp Video by BravoMLG In all dominion game types there will be 3 capture points one near each teams spawn and the other in the middle. This being noted there needs to be high emphasis on the middle base. Also focus on back routes and the vehicles that you are given These things are key to the success of this game type.

Ever since Halo: Reach, players had always dreamed of remaking the warthog run on "The Maw" for an infection gametype. Some had dreamed, others tried, but no-one could succeed due to insufficient pieces or budget. But now, in Halo 4, with the budget multiplying by one thousand, and multiple map zones, with unlimited piece intake (insure if stated), It must be possible...Could it be? Finally? The funnest infection gametype ever, since Cops and Robbers? YES!

Hello Everybody and Welcome To The 2nd USF Presidential Election We wanted to do things a little differently this year and so Spyro has added me, CooliestRap, to the Roster of USF Presidential Team. This thread will give you a chance to see deeper into the lives of our lovely Candidates. This thread will be locked only to be used by Spyro and Myself so that it doesn't get to messy. We will be showcasing a lot of interesting questions for our candidates to answer so that you may have a better chance at knowing who you want to vote for. So please stay tuned in with this thread as you may not want to miss out on what our candidates have to say for themselves. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First Set What is you username, and why did you choose it? How did you hear about and why did you choose to be apart of the 343i Community Forums? What is your biggest aspiration or goal in life? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After 12 hours we will put up a second round of questions, the Candidates can still respond to the first set. 12 hours is just when the next set will be released. Don't forget to hit the follow topic button up there. Stay tuned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zelda What is you username, and why did you choose it? Zelda. Its my favorite video game of all time. How did you hear about and why did you choose to be apart of the 343i Community Forums? I didn't hear about it. I stumbled upon it when searching for what was changed during a TU update. What is your biggest aspiration or goal in life? That is a tough question to answer. Ummm... Probably would be to get up on our own feet and live a normal, happy life with my family. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ iTz Vplus2 What is you username, and why did you choose it? My username is iTz Vplus2. Why i chose it is actually an interesting story. On Xbox LIVE i have had many different gamertags over the years and when i played CoD MW3 and wanted to get into the competitive esports side of gaming, i needed a catchy, short name that would sound like a good name for a Pro Gamer. So after a lot of thinking, i came up with Vplus2. It stands for Valentine plus 2. I chose it because i was born on February 16, 2 days after Valentine's Day. Unfortunately the GT Vplus2 was already taken, so i added the iTz. How did you hear about and why did you choose to be apart of the 343i Community Forums? I heard about the 343i Community Forums through google I was looking for Halo 4 news and stumbled across the forum. So yeah, that's also the reason why i originally chose to be a part of the forums - for the Halo 4 news. But since then, i've come to appreciate the other aspects of this forum a lot too. The community, the other sections.. pretty much everything. What is your biggest aspiration or goal in life? Well, shouldn't that one be obvious? Right now, it's becoming the President of the USF, of course But if you ask life-wise and with a future look, i just want a good job that pays enough money. That may be simple, but it's all i ask for. And i don't mean a job that pays tons of money and all these expectations. Reason for that is i come from a rather difficult family where money, amongst other things, has been an issue quite often. But hey, i never lost hope that someday i'll do better than this. Never have, never will. When it comes to that, i am a very strong person. And i think this is also something that would make me a great candidate for the USF President spot. I don't ever give up. It's not my style, not my way to go about things. And i always try to improve. Always look for ways to make things better, ways to reach more people etc. I think these are traits that are very helpful for a President. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Bashful Brute What is your username and why did you choose it? My username is Mr. Bashful Brute. I started as The Bashful Brute, but when everyone started doing Mr., I changed it. The 2nd part is simply my gamertag, Bashful Brute. How did you hear about and why did you choose to be apart of the 343i Community Forums? I had joined 343ICF in December of last year, looking for some advice on pursuing a career at 343 Industries. I asked around in the shoutbox but no one answered me so I left. Shortly after that, I joined Halo Waypoint and posted there for a while. I liked it there, spending most of my time there aside from Halo. I got about 3500 posts (@_@) and Community Member of the Week once. But then Bungie closed up, and HWP started growing. The mods started banning good members for nothing, and "cliques" started forming. Then a friend of mine from Waypoint was saying how he was leaving, (for the same reason) and that he was joining a site called 343 Industries.org. So I decided to leave as well. I came back in March, and I've loved it ever since. What is your biggest aspiration or goal in life? I'd really love to work on Halo. Or do something related to Halo. Probably makes me sound like a no-life or whatever, but I love Halo more than anything else. Besides God, Family, and Country of course. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight Sparkle What is you username, and why did you choose it? My username is the name of my favorite pony, Twilight Sparkle from the MLP:FiM series. She is the smartest and most collected pony on the show. She has many similar interest as I do and she is a great match for my personality and character. She is someone I look up to greatly. I'm sure you're aware of what bronies are, so I won't head down that road further. How did you hear about and why did you choose to be apart of the 343i Community Forums? 2- Well, I was abused on bungie.net, always being made fun of so I remembered that 343 owns halo now, so I decided to find a new "internet home". I am glad I did. 343 has given me so much that bungie.net or any other website never did. The people here are overall kind and generous and are always willing to lend an hear when you have a problem. So here's a quick shout-out to you, the members of 343, thank you for your hospitality. What is your biggest aspiration or goal in life? 3- My largest apiration in life is to become an engineer and master every branch of it. I want to further advance or race to help make lives for those who deserve it more comfortable. (without rendering them lazy of course ) I also wish to learn as much knowledge as I can before my time comes. Your stuff can always be broken or taken away, but your knowledge will remain there forever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That Does It For The First Set Of Questions Now Onto The Next Set Second Set What is your absolute favorite thing to do in your free time? What is one experience in your life that made you a stronger person? What is one thing you would do to make the 343i Community Site a better place and Why? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Election will only have these two rounds of question since we are short on time. So Get to answering Candidates and best of luck to you guys. Also Go find the USFP Election Poll and vote for the right candidate. Click Here

Happy, Happy Hey everybody you may know me, you may not. But I'm a guy that lives inside of these forums. If you have not met me, you will eventually. So let's get down to the nitty gritty. For 3 and a half months I have been rigorously looking for a job. I just graduated college and was about to die (not literally) out of lack for money. I have seriously been looking for a job non stop. The economy in America is not the best, so places weren't really hiring. I was slowly but surely becoming "poor" (literally) I know these are forums about video games and the such but it is also a place to support others. So I just wanted everybody on this forum to know that today I am the Happiest Guy in the world. I GOT A JOB!!! THIS IS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PapG53eIM1M Video By FORtheGLORY Now I will be able to make money and all that good stuff. I just wanted to scream it off a mountain top and since 343i Community Forums doesn't have a mountain I thought I'd yell it from the offbeat topics thread. Anyways that is all. So I will finally be able to renew my Gold Membership and everything. So I will be able to happily game with you all now.

Name of Map: KillHouse V2.0 Canvas Map: Forge World Link to MAP: http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/haloreach/Legit%20dp/fileshare#!/?section=MapVariants&MapId=&GameMode=0&SearchDate=7&SortBy=2&view-select=Tile&tags=&startIndex=0 Link to Gametype: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=27184480&player=MLG%20Gametypes Recommended Player Count: 10 Game Variant: Objective Gamertag: Legit dp LegitForger Creations This map was made and built in inspiration from TC's Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Any gamer of the series knows this map for its close quarter firefights and those long range Famas shots across the open top of the map to the other side. This map brings that and more. Designed in the mindset of CTF, this map can also be used in TS. The map from its V1.0 has been modified to ease gameplay and eliminate long sight lines. The images you will see will mostly be accurate, but the spawns have been changed. Instead of the ugly forge pieces you see in the images, I have made new objects back in the spawn area to make the area more aesthetically pleasing and nice looking. Unfortunately due to school the updating of these images has been rare. The best way in full aspect is to play it yourself and see the competitive side to it in difficulty. Guns Below: DMR x 6 ST: 30 Seconds Sniper x 2 ST: 60 Needler Rifle x 2 ST: 30 Plasma Pistol x 2 ST: 30 Frag Grenades x 6 ST: 15 Plasma Grenades x 4 ST: 15 KillHouse V2.0 Created by Legit dp Inspiration from Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Map KillHouse Map Description The map features an inspired design from TC's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Map KillHouse. The map has been redesigned with competitive gameplay in mind. The map is symmetrical on both ends and features two height variations. The map features two main buildings both with a front patio. Along with a back open loft area, which houses the stairs to the second level. Each main base contains five ways in and out. Two of which on ground floor. The map features two snipers, one grenade launcher, two plasma pistols, two needler rifles, four health packs, and 6 DMRS. The map has a top middle and bottom middle. The top middle portion is attached to the main buildings via the base bridges which protrude out from the second story of the buildings. And a main walkway which spans the whole one side of the map. Featuring an interesting High-Low gradient when looking at the map from front view. Spawning is key in this map and has been placed strategically to allow chances for a player to help teammates or in Capture the Flag put the player in a position to make quick decisive action depending on where the flag is ran. No high point is over powerful in this map because of the pieces of cover and line of sight breakers being used threw out the map, leading to an extremely balanced game. Pictures are below. Here is a above view of the middle of the map. Straight below the view you have (Which can not be seen)is the grenade launcher spawn. Which can be accessed by 2 lifts on either side. Or the top middle bridge itself. We also get our first look at the top middle layout along with the first floor cover pieces. (Left and Right) Here is a view of Red Base. We can see the patio where the Red Team Flag would be located in Capture the Flag. Also we can see the multiple access points located on the left and right of the patio.To the left is the main walkway. A Red light has been placed on the base to solidify the team the Base belongs. No framerate problems with the lights. Same with the Blue Base. Here we have the look at the front of Blue Base. As this can be easily seen the base is completely symmetrical to the Red Base. Here we have the first bottom middle view. Above the view you see is where grenade launcher spawns. (Top Lift) The lifts are located on either side of the walls, though not visible, left and right or the screen. These lifts are one way shields, therefore they make no noise when used. We can also see the line of site breakers in bottom middle. An interesting piece which creates and interesting battle in bottom middle. A health pack is located right behind the view this image gives us. This is also a neutral spawn area. Here is another view of bottom middle, but this time on the opposite side of the map. No lifts are located in this area. And the health pack is behind the view this provides once again. The walkway that spans the whole side of the map is located above this view. This is a neutral spawn area. Here we get a full length view of the Underneath Walkways side of Blue Base. There is a line of sight breaker immediatley ahead and further up. This area has no spawn in it for its lack of protection. Even though this area is commonly avoided by players. Making this a good flanking run on the enemy. Here we have the underneath walkway side of Red Base. We have the same line of sight breakers as on the Blue Base Side. Here is the view of top middle from the top walkway perspective. Here we can see the bridges from each base the feel of the map more effectively. The walkway is the same height as top middle so the image we see is a bird’s view of the area. Below this photo, though not in view, is a neutral spawn area based around a piece of cover. Here is the open side of Blue Base and as we can see there are line of sight breakers so players on the other side of top middle cannot see all the way through. Here is the first look at grenade launcher spawn. And the open side of Blue Base. Here is the inside look at the Red Lobby of Reds Base. A nice ceiling height allowing full jump and close quarter turns around each wall opening to the wider portion of the base. Here we can see Blue Lobby of Blues base. It is the exact same design as Reds Base. I would like to thank all very close friends of mine who helped test the map.I would also like to thank anyone in advanced for submitting feedback to the map. It means a lot.
