The Hive
by a Polish Korean

The Hive started months ago when Uno and I were trying to come up with a middle of an arena map. He eventually layed down what would eventual become the middle platform that exists on The Hive now. After not seeing Uno for a week on XBL, I decided to continue with the idea, and quickly forged a version of The Hive that was much smaller and a lot simpler than what The Hive is today. My original intentions with The Hive was to fill the void of decent small arena maps in Reach. I also tried to keep the map relatively simple so that the map wouldn't alienate newcomers, while still creating geometry that allowed for smart movement. The first version was completed and tested a few days before the arena Submission was announced. The Hive is very fast-paced, and keeps players on their toes from the moment the game starts and until the game ends. Although I don't consider this map as one of my better projects, it seems to be one of the most praised by the community at large.
