So, the Halo: Reach beta has come and gone, and I guess we’ll just have to wait out the grueling months until the final game releases…oh wait, that’s what I’m here for—Allow me to attempt to provide you some minimal comfort amidst our tragic loss. Welcome to the reimagination of the Halo: Reach Beta map, Powerhouse.

*

This map began upon seeing the very first concept art for Halo: Reach. From that first picture a very unoriginal idea sprang forward. So the map started and I spent hours looking back and forth between the concept art and my TV screen. Pretty soon I realized the map was going to have to be loosely based on Powerhouse because of the fact that I was burning through objects like crazy and that I could only see so much through the one picture. Nonetheless progress continued. By the time other pictures and even beta came out, I basically knew how I was going to finish the map. Eventually I finished after at least 100 hours of forging and testing.

Welcome to Powerhouse—well, sort of. Gameplay on the map ranges for the hectic, close-range battles inside the powerhouse to mid-range BR fights across the bottom road. The shotgun can be found centered inside the house, which you can expect to be constantly occupied. Another place the gameplay gravitates towards is the ghost and rocket spawns. The ghosts spawn on opposite corners of the map. They orbit the map around the center house in a rather large circle. Ghosts can cross into the building through the first floor, but are blocked form the second and third floors. The rocket launcher is perfectly situated as well. At the beginning each game is an amazing struggle to control the rocket launcher. Obtaining the rockets is hard, but getting away alive is even harder. The rockets are found in the plugged up pipe of the river. If you jump in the river, you will die because of the skybubble’s death barrier. The only way to get you and your shiny new rocket launcher out to safety is to jump across stepping stones to the end of the river, and the entire time you will be exposed to enemy fire. The risk is great, but it is certainly worth taking, as the team that gets it will have no trouble dealing with the other team’s ghost.

Quick Note about Custom Games and Stuff:

Hey, before ending this post I just wanted to leave a quick message that anyone who wants to can add me (Tiamat8). I’m up for customs basically anytime as long as I’m not obsessing over a new map of mine and I am sick of the 10 year old losers currently on my friends list. I’ve always wanted to get more involved in this community, and I feel like now would be a great time.
