For my Halo:Reach ForgeHub debut I give you an exciting map that provides a wealth of fast-paced gameplay and some good old-fashioned fun.

Ore takes place deep within one of Reach's many Titanium mines; the desolate, gloomy atmosphere and the tall ceiling looming high above contribute to a strong feeling of vulnerability as you work your way through the map. Though it's best suited for parties of 4-8 players, this map will make you feel very, very small.

On one side, a large cliff recess (which actually hangs over you) provides texture and several hiding places. Opposite this is a massive wall stretching upward nearly as far as the eye can see, making the map feel remarkably vertical for being mostly only one level.

In between, you'll find plenty of large rocks to use for cover, but you'll have to keep moving in order to survive; this map is very open and death can come from almost any direction.

However, if bravely charging through the middle of the map doesn't suit you, there is a tunnel just below the surface which runs almost the entire length of the map and could make for safer traveling; just beware of enemies lying in wait with a shotgun in hand.

Weapons on Map:
DMR x 6
Needle Rifle x 3
Plasma Rifle x 2
Needler x 1
Shotgun x 1
Energy Sword x 1
Sniper Rifle x 1
Focus Rifle x 1
Rocket Launcher x 1
Plasma Launcher x 1
Assault Rifle x 1
Plamsa Pistol x 1
Magnum x 1

Plasma Grenades x 2
No Vehicles

A variety of weapons means every game could be quite different, but there aren't too many weapons, and you'll find it challenging to hold on for your Sniper Rifle or Shotgun for very long.

You may think that this map is all about aesthetics, given the ominous setting and the murky lighting (yes, Juicy FX is on, which I usually avoid, but I think it looks great here). However, lines of sight and weapon placement have been carefully considered to make for great competitive gameplay. Yes, it is very open, but IMO that adds to its allure.

Please let me know what you think. I'm open to criticism and would definitely consider releasing a second version based on the feedback I receive. My Gamertag: I am bad sorry.
