Alright, so Reach has been out officially for 2 days now and I've already noticed lots of different Forge maps (mainly silly ones) popping up for download. Since I haven't had the time to sift through all of them of course and test 'em out I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread for posting your finds with the community!

That being said what I would like to see is, if you do find a good map whether its just a remake or someones original map, post the NAME of the map and the AUTHOR, maybe even a small description of its play style too or your opinions!

Use a template like so,

MAP NAME:
AUTHOR:
DESCRIPTION:

I'd post my first example if my xbox were setup so I could see the author of a nice Octagon remake. I'll share later after work though.

This is the "Reach" Onslaught made by Salot, the creator of the original one from H3. It feels wayyy different but it plays out amazingly. I definetly suggest checking it out.

The amplified remake from the people who did the original one is scaled to work with the reach spartans (since they don't jump as high). I really like it for TS, I'll put it up in my file share as its worth downloading.

MAP NAME: Octagon
AUTHOR: Akira
DESCRIPTION: This is a very smooth remake of the H3 map commonly used for warming up. I've tested MANY different Octagon remakes and this one is probably the only one similar in size to the original H3 version too. Also this one has properly sized walls and not all equal in width like most. This one is really legit IMO. Only issue is the original version does have a AA pickup on map so I removed it in my Forge for personal reasons.

Now we just need the 0 second respawn gametype if someone will PLEASE find one/make it. :)

MAP: Amplified
AUTHOR: Napolean Braa & Detenn
DESCRIPTION: This is the Amplified re-make that someone mentioned will a couple of extra tweaks added by me. Basically, I added the Gold and Pink light markers and lowered Gold 3 slightly to make it accessible (I couldn't get up there myself, but it may have been the gametype I was playing, but it seems to be okay now).

MAP NAME: lockout
AUTHOR: Useless NO0B
DESCRIPTION: 1:1 scaled replica of Halo 2's Lockout

It says 1:1 scale, its not in some parts but its understandable. It is one of the closest 1:1 scales I've seen for lockout though.

Map Name: Genome
Author: Ladnil
Description: Good map for 4v4 slayer, FFA, alright for flag.

I found this from a friend that plays with the kid that made it, I think he said it's based on an H3 forge map but I'm not sure. It's my favorite map to play on Reach so far.

He made that map in Halo 3. It is still in it's playtesting stages. I've playtested some CTFs and TSs on it.

My 'Midship/Sanctuary/Pit' inspired map is now finished, but only for TS atm. I still need to do 4v4 play-testing on it. Then I'll have to fix the kinks that pop up. It is not ready to go on my fileshare yet.

I have started a Narrows map remake twice already. Both times getting discouraged because trying to scale a map like that properly in reach is tough. I start building red base and by the time I get to start building mohawk I see all the inpefections and the bad scaling. Keep in mind I have my other xbox on running Halo 3 and using it as reference.

maybe I'm just bad at forge.

It's not as easy as it looks. Especially with a map like Narrows. It will take a lot of attempts and dedication. I think you can persevere through it.

i'm in the process of finishing off a guardian remake, i will not take credit for the base of the map but i have reworked almost everything to make it smoother, less cluttered and not quite so big, once it is done ill post on here to let you guys know and ill put it on my fileshare so you guys can test it for yourself. i'd love for you guys to test it. i have also started a narrows and am working on the bases which is the most difficult part apparently. that will hopefully be finished with in a week (hopefully). once i have done those 2 ill have a look a making a decent pit and construct.
i do try to make it as close to the original as possible but obviously i cant make it exact, im no pro :)
so guardian is done, ill be asking for some testers let me know if u wanna do it.
