Solasium is a 4v4 symmetrical* core map. The map has been tested for Slayer, CTF, Strongholds, and Assault (and my favorite oddball) and plays well in all game modes. The map is also set up for Arena Breakout, though the mode has yet to be tested. This map may support games for bigger teams as well. The map was forged on the Parallax Canvas using the Ascendance skybox.

*the map is symmetrical in layout, but different aesthetic pieces lead to slight variations in areas.

This map has gone through rigorous and numerous testings and I hope you will all enjoy it. While I consider this to be a completed map, I will always be up for suggestions on making it even better so feel free to message me if you have one!

Power Weapons/Power Ups:
Sniper, Overshield, SPNKr Rockets (except on Strongholds), Railgun (Strongholds only).

SPECIAL THANKS"
I'd like to thank the Forge Front team and everyone else who helped and gave input along the way. Special thanks to @The Finnish guy @Natabase @Bromaniac35 @Partarar @Zac Lee for helping with the aesthetics as well! Thanks to everyone that helped test the lobby in Duke after Dark, @Max Extra and Forged Friday, @Merder Smerf and the UCC team for the pro testing lobby and @GodlyPerfection and the Creative Force team for putting a couple tests on as well!

"Map Backstory"
The Forerunners have been manipulating an element, known as Solasium, in order to get it to change the weather. Their technology then advanced and they were able to keep two opposite temperature, zones in each side of the facility.

UCC Pro Testing Lobby"
An earlier iteration of this map was submitted to the UCC:Forge Pro Testing Lobby and played on March 4th, 2016. The UCC team found the map to be match-making quality pending a few tweaks (most of the tweaks revolved around colorization to distinguish the sides, but once the Ghosts of Meridian update came out natural pieces made this map easily distinguishable).
