Reach the Apex of these Monuments to achieve Enlightenment.

Temple Mount is a reimagining and extention of the first map I published on Halo 3's Foundry. I have been tweaking and tuning it and have expanded upon the original concept to create two opposing Temple structures, instead of just one like the original.

Temples
Both Temples are three levels high and the entire front face of each is traversable as well as the roof of the structure. Both Temples are identical and are symmetrical themselves.

The lowest level of each Temple(or grass level) are the Shotgun Rooms. These rooms can be entered from the Lower Central Entrance or either side of the base. There are two lifts found on the back wall of each of the Temples that will shoot you up to the Middle Chambers.

Shotgun

The Middle Chambers have several entrances that can be reached from all sides and from the lifts below. There is also a ramp that leads from the Middle Chambers up to either side of the Temples apex.

On the apex of each Temple you will find 2 Needle Rifles and a Needler. There are also four Fusion coils that can be shot by players down low in the grass, or if you are brave enough, try pushing the coils on unsuspecting victims as they move below you.

Central Tower

A Concussion Rifle sits in the grass underneath the Central Tower. The Central Tower can be reached by jumping from the apex of either Temple or by the use of a Man Cannon found on the edge of the map.

All the power weapons with the exception of the Shotguns, are located centrally on the map. Teams will need to venture onto both the Cliff Side area of the map or onto the Mountain Side Catwalk to retrieve them.

Sniper

Plasma Launcher

Brute Hammer

There are your typical choke points like the exits from the Middle Chambers up to both Temples apexes, and the Lower Central Entrances to the Shotgun Chambers from the Central Tower. Gaining control of the Temples apexes might seem like it would dominate the map, but with all the cover and routes I have created as well as the Central Tower, you are never truely safe gaining the higher ground.

I have set Temple Mount up for most gametypes but I feel that Team Slayer and CTF games play best. I am a huge fan of the new Team Classic playlist and this map plays excellent if you go through and delete a few Grenades. I will be releasing 3 more maps in the next couple weeks so if you enjoy this one let me know.
