Back Story
A Wishing Well is a term from European folklore to describe Wells where it was thought that any spoken wish would be granted. The idea that a wish would be granted came from the idea that water housed deities or had been placed there as a gift from the gods, since water was a source of life and often a scarce commodity. People believe that the guardians or dwellers of the well would grant them their wish if they paid a price. After uttering the wish, one would generally drop coins in the well. That wish would then be granted by the guardian or dweller, based upon how the coin would land at the bottom of the well.
The same is true for this Wishing Well, provided you sacrificed something, be it an opponent or a fellow teammate. A safety barrier is in place now to keep things from being dropped into the Well which has long since dried up, but a grenade tossed just right will remove this safety barrier for 30 seconds allowing for sacrifices and wishes to be made before the barrier reactivates.

Map Description
I have been working on Wishing Well since I got the Mythic maps with HW: LE. Wishing Well has been created with 2 sided team games in mind. A game of 2v2 suits Wishing Well perfectly; however a game of 4v4 can be really intense. It supports most standard gametypes (Team Slayer, Capture the Flag [Multi & 1 Flag], K.O.T.H., Oddball, Assault [1 Bomb & Neutral] and FFA gametypes).

Wishing Well is inspired by several maps that can be found in the Halo Universe. This map has certain elements that will feel familiar to Halo Vets. Wishing Well is a symmetrical map that consists of a Wishing Well that sits in the center of a grassy courtyard that splits the map. Several ramps and tubes lead away from the grassy courtyard. On each side of the Well there are openings that give you a great view of each side of the maps elbow catwalks.

Both Red Side and Blue Side are identical but are not the mirror image of the other. Blue Side and Red Side can also be distinguished by the type of columns found on each side. Red Side has Red Columns and Large Columns (Orange with Hieroglyphics) while Blue Side has Blue Columns and the Large Stone Columns. Moving around the exterior areas of the map can take its time, but with well calculated jumps you can get around a lot quicker. Props to Skarrow ("Holy Grounds" map) for giving me the idea to use upside down Tin Cups for the courtyard. It makes the map look 100x better than what it used to with just Double Walls as the floor.

Download Wishing Well

I hope everyone who downloads this map enjoys it. Feel free to change it up in anyway you see fit. Just be careful what you delete as most of the objects that spawn on the main floor of Sandbox have been used in creating this map, and once deleted will only give you their money value not their object limit value.
