This is version 2 of the map formerly known as TRON. See my last post for a list of changes.

SUIT UP, SPARTAN!
THIS GIG JUST GOT VIRTUAL.

Enter an explosive, plasma-fuelled ghostarama of a map. Small but perfectly formed, this arena is ideal for more intimate games - 1v1 up to 4v4 and free-for-all.
Compatible with all gametypes (including race), Afterglow is especially good with the below:

Elite Slayer
Headhunter
Team Oddball
Stockpile
Neutral Bomb Assault
King of the Hill

Want the full cyber-tastic experience? If you're feeling in a plasma mood, try replacing the default weapons as below:

Assault rifle > Plasma repeater
Pistol > Plasma pistol
2 frag grenades > 2 plasma grenades

This is not necessary to enjoy the map, but does gives an authentic TRON-like experience.

Brace for carnage!

It all kicks off here in free-for-all. You'll be spawning into one of these bunkers, of which there are eight spaced around the edges of the map. The shield doors provide a safe-zone so you're not spawning into a hailstorm of plasma, but don't get comfortable in there. Those soft kill zones mean you've got 10 seconds to get into the fight.

Team games start western style, with each side facing off across the grid for a good old-fashioned quick-draw. Players respawn in their half of the arena around the perimeter and in the spawn bunkers, able to quickly rejoin the battle.

This will most likely be your first objective. We've got 4 ghosts and an overshield (replaced by the neutral objective in objective games) in the centre of the map. This is where things get very messy, very fast, so if you want one of those goodies - get amongst it.

If you fancy your chances on foot then you'll want to go for one of these two bridges. There's an energy sword on the blue bridge and a plasma launcher on the green one. Cause some carnage.

Other equipment:
2 x needle rifle
2 x needler
4 x plasma repeater
4 x plasma pistol
8 x plasma grenades
2 x healthpacks (1 pictured above)

We've also got a two-way teleporter next to each bridge. These provide you with quick escape routes and a means to flank and disorientate your opponents. If the plasma hits the fan and you've got a ghost on your tail - these teleporters are your buddies.

These corner arches provide you with a little extra cover, and each holds a plasma pistol - handy if you're being buzzed by a pesky ghost.

Got all that? Good. Prepare to terminate.

Watcha Forgehub! This is my first post and indeed my first Forge map (in either Halo 3 or Reach). Constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement are welcome - if I get enough then I will make a version 3.

As it stands I'm quite proud of it, and it's proven to be a lot of fun in playtesting. Any feedback on the various gametypes would be appreciated. Capture the Flag, Assault and Stockpile are only set up for red vs blue.

Thanks to those who playested and provided feedback on TRON and AFTERGLOW - Grant, Umberto, Ollie, Rob, Bob'n'Ted, Bradders and Firefly Benzu.

Thanks for looking!
