As always, I have prided myself on my maps no matter how much I worked on them. This map is no other story, now having an almost equal number of days from conception to posting as some of my pre-mythic maps, even though it is much easier to buld maps on sandbox. And now I present to you, my first attempt at making a map to submit to atlas; The Architecht!

Made for rumble pit, team doubles, and team slayer.

Backstory

After the prophets' rise to power, things took a turn for the worse. Starting with their discovery of the architecht; an ancient forerunner temple containing information on the halo rings and shield worlds. With this newfound information to support their sacred journey, they became deep-seated heirarchs lustful for power.
The UNSC recently received radio signals originating from the desolate temple and with options running short in the war with the covenant, chose to send a ship to investigate in hopes of gleaning the prophets' plans.

Disclaimers:
A good majority of the outer catwalks is not interlocked, leading to the occaisional lost grenade, but it overall adds to the aesthetics making it to appear to have been built instead of carved out of a single giant rock.

Do not complain about this or I will deem everything you post complete nonsense

Thanks and Credits

All the angry testers - Thanks you for voicing the importance for railing, I added what I could... But not what could be considered enough by some.
Public Servent - The widened walkway owes its existence to your suggestion.
Given to Fly - Thanks for your continued support on the map.
Anyone else I forgot - Thanks

There are two easter eggs on the map... they are both in honor of bungie.
