"The Crag is MEGA! MEGA bad, MEGA tough, MEGA EVERYTHING!"

DOWNLOAD THE CRAG

I had originally worked on this 5-story map I dubbed The Aggro Crag back when Bungie's Forgetacular contest was still up for grabs. After Forgetacular ended, I took another look at my original creation and decided that I had finished up pretty hastily in order to meet the contest deadline.

I thought the map could really use some beefing up and tweaking. So with that in mind and not a single Forge Buck left, I set out to do some revamping. It took some work but I managed to add more cover, more platforms and add more playable space on the structure.

I now call it The Crag.

It's leaner, it's meaner, and it's way more badass.

Aggro Crag: Halo Reach Forge Map

Design

To start, The Crag is a 5 story symmetrical map ideal for 4 vs 4 combat but works perfectly fine in FFA. 1 sided objective gametypes also work particularly well. I wanted a map where the players main focus was to control the top of a structure. I forged in the coliseum area but I think it's excellent use of the given space.

Weapons

4 x DMR
2 x Needle Rifle
4 x Assault Rifle
2 x Plasma Rifle
2 x Needler
1 x Shotgun
1 x Energy Sword
1 x Concussion Rifle
4 x Plasma Grenades
2 x Frag Grenades

Power weapons focus heavily on close quarters combat for gaining the upper hand. I originally opted for a Rocket Launcher but instead decided the concussion rifle was better suited to the space. Tested out sniper rifles but they had to be cut because they just are not suited to the play area.

Gametypes

Because of the layout, The Crag provides for some really nail-biting FFA objective games (think Oddball, Headhunter, King of the Hill, etc. on top of delivering an excellent team objective experience, which it is intended for.

Performance

The Crag is absolutely free of lag, despite coming close to the budget cap. If you explore the map in the forge editor you may come across some skipping frames but that's due to all the extra visual aids that forge has to spawn.
