Halo 4 Echelon

[Mike Foster]

Echelon is a mirrored symmetric map set in Erosion's interior room. While the Forge pallet for Erosion isn't the prettiest thing in the world, Echelon attempts to turn this 6-at-best into a 10. Featuring hectic gameplay and engaging geometry, Echelon will surely put players though their paces.

This map has some interesting structures but they just don't fit. You should rebuild this somewhere else. The flooring and walls clash with rest if the map (almost burns my eyes). Maybe elsewhere on erosion or forge island.

[Mike Foster]

Your detraction about Echelon is not a unique one. It has been expressed by a few others that were in my testing groups that I should've built it somewhere else. The good thing is that was the only bad thing about the map my testers brought forward. I wouldn't mind revisiting this map again down the road, but I would much rather have a prebuilt enclosed space to do it in (Reach's Colosseum for example).

[AbleSir Thomas]

You should submit this to TNT, I would love to have a game on it.

[Mike Foster]

I'd love to, but I can't seem to find a forum for TNT. I'll just chalk it up to being super sick right now and not blind-as-a-bat

 

 

Do I need to be present during the test? I know it's ideal but if I'm still feeling like garbage I probably won't be on at all.

 

 

 

Edit: Nevermind, found it!

The event rules require you to be present, but given your circumstances I"ll try to run a game on it anyway. I'll upload the game-play to my FS and give you feedback over live. If you feel better send me an xbl msg and ill invite you.
