"Time and time again intelligent life always attempts to control nature and the world around them, they build there machines and there guns, they even create laws to maintain order in all the chaos that is the universe. But in the end nature restores the balance with one simple Flood.”

this is my frist forgehub map, Sand of time if, the map is set at the center of a massive Precursors dooms day clock that slowly counts down to the distrution of intelligent life at the hands of the flood but the hands of this clock(repersented by the three floating killballs in the distence) have mysteriously come to a complete stop, but for what reason have they come to a stop, "cough! events of halo3 cough!".

For those of you who have know clue what Precursors are, i'll explane. the Precursors were an advance race of being who exicted long before the Forerunner came to be.The Precursors achieved a higher level technological advancement than the Forerunner, Tier 0, or (Trans-sentience) on the Forerunners' Technological Achievement Scale, but much like the Forerunner, had mysteriously disapired.

the idea for this map was to create a small sized map made for quick and carzy team and ffa gametypes. the map is set for slayer, CTF, assult, and oddball and has firebomb grenades to balence out all the close range weapons and feul rod gun. I haven't been able to test the map out on assult yet because of the lake of friends with the new maps and have only tested it out in a 5 person ffa, 2v2 flag, and a small game of team swat on it so please do tell me how it plays with larger teams.

here's the part of the map i like the most the grav lift, it can be used for getting the sword and quick flag captures but beware when in the sky your easy pray for snipers.
