Altar

Overview

The map Altar is centered around a middle 'altar.' The 'altar' is surrounded by two bases each guarded by a turret. There is a bridge that goes over the 'altar' which contains the energy sword. Surrounding the entire map are glass covers which allow for access to second levels (along red and blue sides or 2x2's) without using ramps and is useful for combat getaways. There is only one ramp that leads to each base but you are able to jump from the side 2x2's to main bases for possible counter attacks. There may not seem like a lot of cover but you can get away from most combat situations. DMRs are going to be a useful tool in this map. This map is smaller than any any original halo : reach map. That is why this map would be better for 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 but 4v4 or 5v5 may be fun but may become hectic and not fun for some (because of grenades and not being able to capture anything due to camping).

Q&A

Are the turrets overpowered?
-They can only shoot a certain distance (left and right) because the railings next to it block the fire.
Is there anyway commit suicide from the water?
-Yes, only in the middle if you slip between the satellite antennas. But nowhere around the sides.
Can you reach the 1x4s and camp there?
-No the is a soft kill boundary and the only way up there is by jetpack. But any other spot on the map is able to be reached.
Are there any frame-rate problems? - Asked by 'Jackknife'
When I finished this map I was worried about frame-rate problems. I have not play tested this map so I couldn't really tell you.
