Welcome into sobriety. This is a puzzle map, and yes I am back again for round two.

Reach is finally out and right when I got it I went straight to the forge, then put my attention into the campaign and an occasional matchmaking game here and there, and after about two days of that it was pretty much nothing but forge. While you guys have been doing whatever it is you crazy party animals do I was working hard on my puzzle map. That’s one of the things that disappoints me the most is that people don’t understand how hard these things are to build, I can make a competitive map so easily it’s not even funny, but let’s not get off topic. So, literally working day and night on this map basically just destroying my social life so I could get this out there.
Allow me to answer one question while I’m giving the map it’s description; yes this is another map in my drug series. For those of you who don’t know let me recap on the Halo 3 maps I had and the addiction I struggled through. First there was Ecstasy, Valium 10mg, and finally Rehab. I had a whole bunch of other Halo 3 puzzles but those where my main series, and the series was going to conclude with Rehab with the basic hint of finally entering into sobriety. However, as you all can see, here we are again with a brand new and I promise you the last map in the series. I couldn’t leave you hanging with the trash that I going to originally. So yes, TecH has finally become clean, but now this map is the basic struggles of fighting to stay clean on the 12 step program. As you progress through the map the more steps you complete… Get it? So everyone is going to have to put their feet in the shoes of a past drug addict and complete your steps in order to live for what really matters and not just waste your life to drugs.

Now that I’m done describing the map, it Is time to explain the game and map name. Each name has subliminal messages to them, you just decide which one you think would make more sense. Redemption means redeeming myself from the last map that you've seen, I do apologize for the map as well for I do realize now that it was just "ehhh" (sorry Em). Just around that time, forging became more of like a chore then it was recreation, so I had no motive to forge, and just wanted to put out another map. But now I have fallen in love all over again with forge, and this one was made out of pure enjoyment! Hmm, where were we? Awe, yes! Aaaannnnnd the second one is redeeming myself of sobriety, as you've noticed a connection with drugs and all that good stuff. The map name means, one, flushing out the drugs and getting back on track to what really matters. Then the last definition is flushing out the competition in the puzzle community. (Which there really isn’t, basically just raising the bar to the normal puzzle standards?) I have just been completely disgusted by the name people have been giving puzzles recently, I won’t say any names but let’s just say pretty much every puzzle map I’ve seen in reach is just completely awful. However that will now change ;)

Now that we have all of that covered and out there, I think it’s about time for the pictures.

Here we have the starting room. It is a suicide challenge, so be prepared..

This is the first respawn area. (there's a lot of them) Take note into the open world feel from this point.

I wonder if he's gonna make it??

Welcome into my house! Take off your shoes before entering, thank you!

Time to party!

Hmmm, this is a very old challenge that I thought of in Halo 3, but never used it.

If only there was some way to maneuver through that land mine!!

Not a kill ball!

You like the big rock in the middle. I thought it was pretty sick!

I'm not gonna show this room, you'll have to get there yourself to see how awesome this one is. Credit goes to Creech n Spawn for this room and the challenge within it. Thanks homes!

Ohh! The end never seemed so close.
Welcome to sobriety everyone! Hopefully you can get there as well, it's not as hard as it looks! ;)

Up next for the map post is a journal log we came across, there was only one page in it and the rest of the pages seem as if they’ve been ripped out. Here’s our discovery-

Every day is like a fight just to stay away from drugs and not get urges, which I feel like I’ve been doing that pretty well, but an occasional thought here and there does come across my mind. My name is TecH, and I’m a drug addict.
I try to wake up as late as I can so the days go by faster, normally end up finally waking up around 2pm. Sometimes I’ll even manage to sleep through the whole day, and night time isn’t a problem since I can just take my sleeping pills and go to bed. I don’t count sleeping pills as drugs, sure they’re addicting, but still, I was prescribed them because I have a sleeping problem. I do try hard to stay away from just taking them whenever I want to like in the past, I do. But sometimes I slip up and just take one. I don’t wanna sound like a teenager complaining about life, although I have had it rough. I don’t go to school, haven’t gone actually for about 2 years now, I would be a junior if I had wanted to apply myself to something however around that time it felt that everything in my life was just going down. I lost my best friend in a car crash, and it felt like I was losing friends all around me even though I wasn’t. So I would do anything to fit in with anyone, and then that’s when I was introduced to Dilaudid. That’s a pain pill, actually the strongest pain relievers you can get, they’re so fucking addicting and expensive as shit at the same time. So whenever I ran out of money I would have to just take like 6 Tylenol just to get somewhat of a buzz. After money became an object between me and my drugs, next stop was at the doctor’s office. They’re so stupid, honestly, you can just make up some phantom pain and they’ll give you whatever. At first they prescribed me Codeine, which was shit, it didn’t do anything for me, so I went in again and said it wasn’t working for my back and then next they gave me Percocet. Still, not that high up in the pain relievers but sill worked for a buzz. Then, that’s when I had a sleeping problem, no matter what I couldn’t fall asleep. It was probably because I was just on that shit so much I couldn’t actually get the down time to just lay down. So they gave me what’s called Ambien. I would take up to 5 Percocet’s in the day and at night take 2 Ambiens. I was living the life and it felt great, until I overdosed. Around this general time the drugs weren’t getting me high so I took 7 Percocet’s and 3 Ambiens. Next thing I know, I’m in the hospital getting my stomach pumped. When I came close to death that’s when I actually woke up and realized what was happening so I had to gain control of my life again. That’s when the Rehab trip came along, My name is TecH and welcome to my struggle of sobriety.

Shout outs- Big shout out to Creech n Spawn for the very last room. You’re sure to notice it once you arrive there, it’s the one that is awesomely forged, he made that one and put in his challenge, so thanks for that man. And also to Mander A1, for helping me test out the map and give me inspiration. To anyone else I didn’t put that feels they deserve to be in the shout outs, there’s a reason why you weren’t on my mind at the time and you probably don’t deserve to be noticed.

Testers-

Anyone else who tested feel free to comment saying you did and I’ll put you up.
