::Description::

Battle Creek/Beaver Creek. This is my first map attempt on Reach. Been working on it on and off since Reach came out and I am pretty happy with it now. First thing's first, no creek, we can't make fake water, I tried. Rather than building in the air I went for a more natural look to preserve the grassy feel and look of the place sadly this also means no tunnels, since we can't build underground. Those not familiar with this Halo 1/2 map it is a simply two bases opposing each other which is supposed to be separated by a creek and a rock arch over the creek, as mentioned above the arch is there but the water is not.

Problems:

1. Bases are too big or the area I made the map on is not big enough. I am starting to suspect it is a combination of both.

2. Ran out of rocks to make the slightly higher perch one could get to from sniper cave.

3. No tunnels. Replaced tunnels with a middle hallway approachable by the front door which splits off left and right, drop down hole above the DMR in middle, grenades and stickys on either side leading to flag room.

I would live to make a version 2 in the future if you all feel it is needed to make the bases smaller, if so I would like some help with that if someone is willing.
