This is my newest version of this map and I thought Id bring it to Forge Hub first.
The amount of interlocking and the attention to detail is easy to miss as I tried to make things look 'stock' and not out-of-place.

As far as Gametype and Respawns are concerned, most of the level is unchanged.
If you arent a big fan of traditional Slayer or Objective games, you could try my Custom Gametype 'DEATH RALLY' to give your Driving Skills a refresher.

The original Equipment and Weapon set is all still where it was, with the addition of 4 New Ghosts and several Power Weapons to combat them.

I always wondered why the map "Ghost Town" didnt have a single Ghost on it.
After adding a Ghost in the forge I learned that almost every doorway in the level was wide enough to allow it passage- but the actual flow was horrible. So outta curiosity I added a ramp system to allow the Ghosts quick transport from one end of the level to the other. It worked well but lead to problems with camping, so I added 2 more points of access by foot to this main 'Highway' which took a lot of time to fabricate but flowed smooth.

To further improve flow and furious gameplay, I created a new path directly through the middle of the main building using 4 teleporters and creating 2 points of access through a previously unplayable area. This middle room is sick, but it was a little dark- so I Ghost Merged a ManCannon under some rubble in the corner to improve ambient lighting. I also added a Gravity Hammer in here making this room a race to get to.

Now that 3/4 of the level was completely different, I felt the area near the Overshield looked a little bare in comparison, so I added a Watch Tower in the middle Tree with 2 points of access: one being a ramp to another tree, and the other being several stacked crates forming stairs. This little Watch hosts a Machine Gun Turret.
It was pretty popular so I added a new Sniper Perch with direct Line-of-sight on the opposite wall. I interlocked many Barricades to make this new perch look as stock as possible, and there are yet another 2 points of access to this new Landing.
I quickly learned this perch had direct line-of-sight over some respawn points, so I added a strategically placed barrier to prevent Spawn-Killing.
I then placed 1 more Machine Gun Turret on the building rooftop with another point of access to the 'Highway', and a Spartan Laser directly across (Opposite the level of the Rocket Launcher) to combat the increased presence of Ghosts.

There are many other touches I added to this level- But I have already written far too much.

I made a video demonstrating Gameplay but it turns out you need to be a Bungie Pro member to render video...
- So you can find it in the same Fileset in my Fileshare if you wanna check it out.

I hope you enjoy this map as much as I have.
