Habeas Corpus is map is fully enclosed from Forge World. The goal of this map was to provide an equal balance of Gameplay, Aesthetics and Performance, I believe I have reached this. All the play-test sessions have gone well, and I've received a lot of positive feedback. Unfortunately, this map did not make it in time for submission to Community Cartographers for Bungie's final update this July, however my hopes are high for 343 in picking up the CC system.

Back onto the map, Habeas Corpus is geometrically symmetrical, but aesthetics and lights are used to determine which side of the map you are on. From the screenshots, you will notice it is quite distinct, and people haven't complained about getting lost after their first game. I have updated this map 10 times, utilizing feedback given from everyone. I am very proud of the result.

It is set up for Oddball, Assault, KoTH, Slayer, Bro Slayer, Stockpile, Speedpile, Speedflag and Head-Hunter.
I find the most enjoying / suited gametypes are Neutral bomb assault, Multiflag CTF and the new '3 flag'
The map features a round raised center, which complements gameplay as the highest point on the map is the center,which in turn complements the 'push/pull' gameplay for objective.

4x DMR @ 60s. 2 spare clips / 1 spare clip for neutrals
