Grunty Thirst
Thousands of grunts died from thirst building what was once a religious colony for the Prophets. These structures are now the home of millions with the thirst of BK's blood and scrub sauce.

Original request in TRC Tester Guild

I started making this map a week ago off a conceptual design that I thought would complement the needs of a successful competitive map in respect to the movement through space and placements of weapons and key items as to not overload one side of the map. Both sides of Grunty Thirst mirror each other in every way except in topography of the sand and colors of the bases. Map control can be maintained from the perimeter walkways, or a strategic control of either blue or red base. 2 snipers on 3 minute respawns with 1 spare clip are located just outside the base for support, as with a bubble shield on the corner piece on the front entrance of the bases. I attempted to merge as much as I could within my level of forging skill. This map isn't per-say loaded with "cool stuff" like 6 different equipments, lasers, missile-pods and nuclear submarines, but I believe that the weapon set is a classic set for many halo maps old and new. Bubble Shields were added to add that extra amount of security at the bases, especially for assault or ctf variants.
