Habitat Alpha:

Based loosely on the location of the same name from Halo 2's "Cairo Station" level, This is a reasonably small map limited to two levels built in Foundry.

Habitat Alpha has only diagonal lines of symmetry as one base is a mirror image of the other and each is facing towards the middle. From either base to the right is the stairway, the only access to and from the bases, which leads down to a small alley with a Machine Gun Turret for defence. From there, the map opens up into the main alleyway. The main alleyway has 2 structures the size of 4 Single Boxes with stairways on either side of them for access. Both structures have Window Panels and Fence Walls for a limited amount of defence. The path between the two structures zig-zags to the other Turret Alley and Stairway.

The map is littered with all Human Weapons, bar Plasma Grenades. There are 16 Battle Rifles, 2 Shotguns, 2 Sniper Rifles, 4 SMGs, and 2 Machine Gun Turrets, each placed symmetrically to give each team ample weaponry. The map has been set up for all gametypes and tested successfully.

Please tell me what you think of this map, suggestions, faults, what you like about it, anything. Particularly tell me if there are any chunks of scenery that don't spawn until a wee way into the round, but I think I got them all. Thanks for reading all of this, and Happy Forging!
