Obviously this map isn't being featured because it was created by an admin. Rather this map is being feature because Shad0w Viper is my friend and I'm super corrupt and stuff. Or in actuality it is being featured because it's a super cool and awesome map. Your choice (see we aren't so bad...at least I gave you a choice.) Anyway, if you haven't heard of Attainment then you obviously aren't "with it" or "hip" or "super fly". In other words, you're a loser. Or maybe sifting through 25 pages of maps to find it makes you a loser; either way it doesn't really matter because we're here to talk about Attainment.

If you haven't played Attainment, that's okay because Bungie has and they loved it, they told me last week at brunch. However, I do recommend you get off your lazy butt and use your thumbs to download Attainment and take it for a spin.

This map is personally one of, if not my favorite Halo: Reach map to date. Shad0w's first original, solo creation came off a lot better than I had expected it to (really, I was cringing). However, jokes aside, Attainment did turn out to be one exceptional map. There was just something special about this inversely symmetrical, mostly enclose slayer map of Shad0w's. I've never been able to quite put my finger on it, but something about how this map plays just feels like "Halo" to me, and that's something I feel Reach lacks. Maybe it's the lines of sight that make the Sniper skillful and dominant, or the control points that are just too addictive to not contest, but Attainment just has some special qualities that more maps need to find in themselves.

Whether you love him or hate him or (most likely) don't know he exists, Shad0w Viper has made one helluva map with Attainment. As much as it pains me to say it (more so even than that kidney stone), good job buddy!
