YouTube - Halo Reach Forge Map: Theta

Hello everyone!

Joke included upon request (sorta):

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: Because he couldn't think of any good jokes.

But enough of the jokes; Let's get down to business. Theta is a symmetrical competitive map built ideally for 2v2 games. It supports team gametypes as well, and works quite nicely with large Free For All matches.

Weapons
DMR x2
Plasma Pistol x1
Needler x2; 45s respawn time
Rocket Launcher x2; No spare clips; 120s respawn time; Do not place at start
Energy Sword x1; Team games only; 150s respawn time

Frag Grenades x4
Plasma Grenades x4/x8 (Free For All/Team games respectively)

Pictures

Just to help visualize the entirety of Theta, here is a useful little map for you to have a gander at:

The Red team's start area. Remember, that Rocket Launcher doesn't spawn until two minutes into the game.

The Blue team's start area nestled just off the edge of a cliff.

This is the facility's main entrance located outside the blue team's base.

This is just as you enter the facility. The bedrock surrounding the map is closer to an intrusive plant than a mass of immovable stone.

Features

"Okay, that's all well and good, but what makes it different from the thousands of other maps out there?"

Well this is my little contribution to all the little gags out there:

Aesthetics
-Unique weapon and grenade holders
-A vast, purely aesthetic cavernous area.
-A seamless layer of rock surrounding all possible exits of the map, along with a moodier overtone which all adds to the illusion of being underground.
-A radioactive centerpiece which was once used to test primitive forms of nuclear fusion.

Function
-Supports local split-screen games with absolutely no lag.
-There are two underground-tube-transport-thing-systems! (UTTTS)

Okay, so when you see the UNSC sign you know you're in the right place. Drop down into that little hole there and let gravity do the rest.

You shoot along this UTTT

And pop out here! These things make for some great escape and chase situations.

Thanks goes out to all who helped me test the map in its most early stages, and also to the guys who gave feedback on the preview, (especially pyro6666)! I hope that this map is as enjoyable for you to play on as it was for me to build and test it! Thank you again for looking through this, and don't forget:

Make a dude really happy.
