Well here is my first post and my first *attempt* at making a playable forge map so I hope you enjoy it, I certainly did when making it.

First, a little back story to the whole idea of the map and where it came from, feel free to skip down to Overview if this isn't your thing, if it is then read on!

Back Story

For thousands of years a battle scarred people lived in constant fear of complete destruction from frequent meteor showers which varied greatly in size and had, in the past wiped out whole continents. Then the ancients, fresh from their endeavours in the construction of their mysterious Halo’s and brought with them their technology. In a stunning feat of engineering they managed to capture a small meteor and using their advanced technology altered it so that it resembled the sun. A temple was then constructed to house this “fallen star” which in a manner of speaking still stands today. The Local inhabitants named the construction the Temple Of Raj after one of their gods (loosely based on Egyptians Sun God).

Such fabulous technology did not escape notice for long and two powerful factions comprised of both UNSC and Covenant troops have landed and now fight for possession of the temple and the secrets it posses the resulting conflict left the once fertile landscape pock-marked with craters and two factions deeply entrenched within the valley, the once great temple is now reduced to a crumbling relic with only a modicum of its original glory remaining intact.

On either side of the main structure are two alley-way type area's with a machine gun and plasma cannon covering the centre pathway

Plasma Cannon, with shield preventing all non-explosives from damageing the turret operator.

Both gun emplacement's have a corresponding structure opposite with brute shot's to counter excessive turret useage.
