I started building this map literally, the first minute I turned on Reach upon picking it up after the UK midnight release ( I am an American, just visiting my girlfriend). It took me 58 hours+ to complete and I finally finsihed it yesterday. I had some help from one of my best friends who always been an excellent decorator on my maps since forge came into being. It has 3 buildings, all of which you can get to the top from the bottom. It is flawlessly built and works perfectly with it's gametype.

The " main building"
which players have named (the second building I built which was not even supposed to be the main building) is the widest, and just short of the tallest, of the three and is complete with a helipad, a little sandbag wall, and turret. In the bottom there is a lobby, which in fact does look a lot like a lobby. There is a lot of walking up staircases whilst worrying about zombies to make your way up to that precious falcon. There is also a few " weapon vaults" on the way up which either tease you, or trick you into going for weapons that you should have known, were too good to be true. This building is also fully warthog and mongoose accessible and have already had great times with people who have successfully gotten a rocket hog on to the roof.

The " spiral" building is a tall spiral staircase that leads up to a roof that appears to be a sort of penthouse or a millionaire suite. It has a landing pad, a glass room over looking the beach, gorgeous decoration, and an ingenius little device I call the weapon shaft. The weapon shaft is a slim tube that has weapons that are spawned at the top of it, and they drop down the shaft. All of the weapons are set to completely odd respawn times and, obviously, the better weapons take longer to spawn. It adds an aspect of danger to camping in the glass room because in order to get ammo and new weapons when you camp you need to leave your nest and travel around a balcony and up to the roof to check the weapon shaft, which will usually have something that made it worth your while to risk your life for. The glass room is a great camping spot not only because it is a good place to camp, but because the zombies have 3 good ways to kill the humans who camp there. One: they can wait behind the shield door at the entrance until they reload. Two: they can drop in through the roof and charge. And three ( which was found out on accident, oddly enough) the zombies can sit on the outside of the glass and continuously swing their sword until by some glitch they hit one of the less informed humans who doesn't know not to stand next to the glass. For the glass zombies though, it is not all fun and games. I have placed a golf club which spawns occasionally in the glass room which people call the " window cleaner", you can take a guess yourself why people call it that.

The third building is fairly tall and the only way to get to the top is through the broken elevator, which is a teleporter in an elevator at the botttom, which teleports you to a broken elevetar at the top.

In other words, there is no getting back down the way you came up. However, there is a crane located on the top of the building which you can climb and use to make your way onto the top of the " main" building.

There is also a small road which looks great from both ground and aerial view, the road leads to a collasped tunnel which really adds to that " damn, I'm doomed" kind of feeling.

The game plays out like this: I have placed a gigantic ammount of starting points on the ground. The humans randonly spawn somewhere on the ground near the building, usually together for some reason. But there is always one spot of worrry: a zombie randomly spawns somewhere near you, as well. When the game starts to progress after some people did or did not get killed by the first zombie, it usually ends up to be a few people in a Falcon flying around, some people camping in glass room, another few camping on main building roof, and the lone wolves who set up shop randomly around the map, more than not on the crane. There are weapons hidden around the map, so the observant survivor always has a bit of an advantage. The jetpacking zombies are quick and sneaky so your best bet always watching your radar and stocking up on DMR and sniper ammo so you can pick them out of the air.

I am free almost anytime this month to play the game with whoever wants to, so just add me my gamertag is: Tyier Lyons. I will also be starting work on a new map with in a few days, any help I can get is greatly apreciated. Thanks for reading!
