That map looks really good. Sometimes I wonder why bungie won't let all the community maps go into matchmaking.

Welcome to my third map on Halo Reach, Impulse. I got this idea from one of the maps that Bungie made called 'The Cage'. The reason I got the idea from that map is because I am very interested in maps floating in the air because I think it gives it a more of a momentum feeling knowing your so high up in the air. Thats probably why I liked Sandbox from Halo 3 so much.

This map is asymmetrical and it has many different paths and obstacles. Since it has no bases, there is no supported gametypes for team games other than Team Slayer. I like to make team based maps but I felt like I wanted to make a large structure up in the sky because I see alot of them around the community and I enjoy them.

I have had many test runs on this map. I have made sure the initial spawns aren't to close together because with a big party, the action will start pretty much right when you spawn if the spawns are to close and I really don't want that. One thing that a lot of people liked was the man cannons. They also said they liked other stuff but the thing that was an important thing to me was the man cannons because I really like how you fly over the middle of the map while going on them. It really gives you a good feeling getting a 'no scope' while flying 50 feet above the map. XD

There are a few things I should talk about in the gameplay. Each power weapon is on each side of the map. The sniper, the sword, the shotgun, and the MG Turret. Even though the turret is kind of useless at its perch, you can still rip it off so that you can use it as a LMG like in Call of Duty. I also made it so that one side is higher than the other. This does not affect the gameplay though since there is a teleporter from one side of the map to the other. I also made a lot of cover so just in case you go one on one against a sniper, you get a fair deal.

I think all the gameplay is pretty balance from the matches I have played. The only thing I noticed is that this map is huge and it may take awhile to find one another if you are playing with a small party. When you have a big party though, this is the kind of map everyone will enjoy because it has just the amount of weapons on the map people will want so they will be satisfied. All the weapons and how many there are are below this along with the gametypes I have set up for this map.

Weapon Set:
DMR - 4
Needle Rifle - 3
Plasma Rifle - 3
Plasma Repeater - 1
Spiker - 2
Needler - 2
Concussion Rifle - 1
Plasma Grenade - 10

Power Weapons:
Shotgun - 1
Sniper - 1
Energy Sword - 1
Machine Gun Turret - 1

Gametypes Set:
-Slayer
-Team Slayer
-HeadHunter
-Infection
-Safe Havens
-Juggernaut
-OddBall
-King of the Hill
(Remember that these are the only supported gametypes, the only team based gametype is Team Slayer)

One custom gametype that I thought would be fun to play on this is Team Snipers. The reason I think this gametype would be fun to play is because the map is very large and there are many sniper spots and cover along with the many obstacles and platforms on this map.
The download link is right here: Team Snipers
I think this gametype is better with teams because I don't like the feeling of trying to snipe a guy while three other guys already have a scope on you. It just makes things to hectic.

The Tunnel

The Bouncy Walkway (Be careful!!!)

The Lifty Walkway (There is two of these on this map)

As you see, this is a very large map in the sky. It is very competive in gameplay and I think it is fun to play. In all, I think this is a very cool map I made and from what I heard, it is very successful.
