Struck Harmonious is a symmetrical style map, a project Ive been working on for quite some while. It is my first map in Reach... and second scratch map overall, which is the primary reason Ive spent about 60-ish hours of work on it.

This map has roots back in my Halo 3 forge days, where I started and scrapped numerous, countless maps... and when Reach hit, I had trouble comprehending the tools available to me, so I decided that I would give new life to a scrapped idea, and thus Crucifix was born.

When the Forgetacular contest was announced, I decided this would be my submission, but I quickly realized the religous connotations attached to the name of my map might negatively affect it as a submission... so I renamed it. I wanted a memorable name that would reflect my map, and not one that seemed to be pulled out of a dictionary... I have so many maps which I have no recollection of downloading or even playing because of their names just blending into my list. Wrapping up, I submitted an earlier version of this map to Forgetacular, but over time, I came up with a redesign for it in my dreams, and the final, last version of many different incarnations was born.

So, please download and give my map a spin. Any feedback, negative or otherwise, would be great, because Im still honestly new to this kind of thing.

Recommended Gametypes

Struck Harmonious plays best with either two four-man teams, or up to 8 player FFA. Primary gametypes are slayer and one-flag. Yes, one flag, despite being symmetrical. I have not yet found a way to split flag capture and spawn points, and I feel the split of these two objectives would encourage players to move between levels more effectively rather than strictly limiting the play arena to either the top or lower levels.

Other viable gametypes include:

Oddball
Multi-flag
Infection
Safe Havens
Stockpile
