[**END TRANSMISSION**]

Description:
As you can see, Sandstone Plaza is a holdout map, much similar to the Asset map: Protocol, which was recently featured on XForgery. Congrats to Rifte Gifle. There are multiple classes for the Attacking team, the brutes, including Brute Stalker, Chieftan, and Jet pack brute. There is also the normal brute, who sapwns in a room full of organized covenant weapons and equipment. The asset gametype can be found and explained here:http://www.forgehub.com/forum/halo-forge-discussion/91142-asset.html.

The defenders: The ODST's and Virgil, spawn with SMG's and BR's, and gain Overshields, as a proximity trait when near virgil. Saty near the VIP at all times, and Protect him, no matter the cost, if the VIP is killed, the round ends, and the Attackers get 4 points, now we dont want that now, do we?

Strategy:
Defenders: Stay with your VIP, if you try to spawnkill the Covenant teleporter, plain and simple, YOU WILL BE RAPED, do to covenant spawn traits, they are invincible for 10 seconds, and they will still probably have a good 5 seconds of that invicibility left once they exit oneof the 2 reciever nodes.

Plain and simple for the ODST's, stay at the holdout, stay with the VIP, wait for the hornet spawn. (on the Helipad)

Attackers: Use the power drain to your advantage, a well placed power drain near the VIP could lead to multiple ODST's without shields, as well as Virgil, Headshot frenzy, anyone?

As for the map, Sandstone Plaza offers thrilling gameplay, whether defending your VIP, to Planning before the Covenant horde, to being IN the Covenant horde, Sandone Plaza offers Fast paced, fun, communicative gameplay, for both the Defenders and Attackers.
