Covenant architecture is rather difficult to pull off in our given set of tools in Halo 4's forge. Luckily, there are some who choose to tackle this enormous challenge and attempt to bring curves to custom games in Halo. Timmypanic has always been a wonderful aesthetic forger, often bringing his maps to the breaking point of framerate lag due to the mass amount of beautiful arrangements. He has given us great maps in the past, some fully aesthetic and some made for competitive play. Clarity of Faith combines both of these interests in two versions of the map.

Clarity of Faith is impressive to say the least. I knew Timmy for this sort of work before; in fact this map is a remake of a Covenant ship he constructed in Halo Reach. However, when I downloaded this map I just flew around it in forge, trying to figure out how he managed to form such beautiful rounded structures and still have a playable map within the vessel. While the map is not designed to be a competitive layout, the very fact that it is playable is rather impressive. The large masses of the ship are wonderfully made, and the details are not lost on such a vast project, as the ship's engines glow white-hot and large display screens give an illusion of control decks. Timmy makes use of the dominion and impact pieces by integrating them as part of the ship's engines, glass screens, and body. From the hull, to the ship's weapons and even some fun use of gravity zones, the Clarity of Faith has it all.

Timmypanic's Clarity of Faith draws you in and doesn't let go from the moment you see it. In comparison, the super soldier that you claim to be feels like an insect. The very fact that this exists is fantastic, and it's been an honor to know the creator. If you want to see an incredible forged Covenant ship in person, download this map. It has two versions, a 2.0 and 3.0, the latter of which uses fewer objects to reduce on framerate. As a forger, I found this map highly intriguing to run around on and explore the piece usage. I'm sure that anyone will feel a similar sense of awe when they step on to Clarity of Faith.

We hope that you all love the beautiful map that timmypanic has given us as much as we did. It's a bit older than some of the maps coming out, but the ship still remains a testament to what can be done in forge. The images above don't do it justice.

Love,
