1f:T7bc,

As promised, I give you Vindication, my latest Halo: Reach map.

Vindication is inspired by such Halo classics as Lockout and Ascension, although you'll immediately notice that this map is much larger than either of its spiritual predecessors. This is an entirely new and different map, not a remake.

Gameplay is fast-paced, as this map is fairly open and several of the walkways/bridges leave you vulnerable to DMR fire; more conservative "team players" will probably fare better than run-and-gun lone wolves.

I like to call this map semi-symmetrical, because while each of the four sides of the map are quite different, they're balanced in such a way as to encourage 2 (or even 4) team gameplay. Objective games could be quite fun.

Power weapons on the map include a sniper rifle, rocket launcher, shotgun and energy sword, but the map is more than large enough to handle them all.

Full weapon list:
DMR x 5
Needle Rifle x 2
Magnum x 2
Plasma Repeater x 2
Concussion Rifle x 1
Grenade Launcher x 1
Needler x 1
Shotgun x 1
Energy Sword x 1
Sniper Rifle x 1
Rocket Launcher x 1

Plasma Grenade x4

If you liked Lockout / Blackout and Ascension / Pinnacle or even Guardian, check this out. And please, please, please, let me know what you think. My last map (Ore) received some very helpful feedback and even made it to Bungie's Most Recommended maps list, largely thanks to your help. I'm very open to constructive criticism.

With that, I give you pictures:
