Raze is my latest and greatest map, forged high above the sandy dunes in the sky box. The map is small and symmetrical, providing fast and fair gameplay. The map provides great height variation, with three stories of play space. With multiple ramps and lifts, map control becomes key to victory. The layout of the lifts gives the map a construct feel, without the frustrations of the top being such a powerful position. The map supports a variety of gametypes, all for up to 2-6 players. Slayer is pretty standard, Oddball is very tactical, King of the Hill is by far the funnest, and Flagis very fast paced.

Pictures: Please note that the pictures are a bit old. In some spots railings have been added and it's been cleaned up a bit.

Thanks for checking out my map. It’s most likely going to be my last major release from Halo 3, so lets hope it’s a good one. Before I hand you the download link and leave you to go crazy, I’d like to toss out some special thanks.

Rorak Kuroda- You’ve really helped me with the formation of this map, back when the front half of the map didn’t even exist. You’re a great forger with great creativety, and a great friend. Thanks a lot.

Forge Hub tester’s guild- You guys are doing a great service by testing people’s maps, with little reward in return. So thanks to those members who tested and helped me iron out the kinks, you guys are great.

All those who played or saw the map before its release and contributed ideas, you know who you are.

Well that’s all people, see you in Reach!
