Just to clarify, this map is actually Competitive and not Casual. I guess it was moved over along with Find God in my map classification dispute a few months ago. We have agreed to disagree, and I doubt it is ever going to be moved back.

4square (Thundercat Spaceship Docking Star) is a new map that I have been working on for a very long time. Unlike my last two uploads (Monitor vs Merrimack & Corporate Takeover) which I pulled out of the vault, this map is the real deal. It is my first new development since "The Pool" map that has been causing me so much grief, but more on that later...

4square is intended to create a totally new type of experience while still incorporating all of the classic elements that make Halo such a great game. The map is intended to be a 4 team map. 2v2v2v2, 3v3v3v3, 4v4v4v4, or even 1v1v1v1.

There have been several possible "camping" problems brought to my attention. I would like to assure you that I have worked very hard to eliminate all of these. For example: in the first picture it might seem like that position provides such an excellent sight line and view of the teleporters that it would be a perfect place to camp out for the entire game. Obviously that would lead to boring gameplay. However, I have built in ways to clear out campers in practically any location.
In that example, the four fusion coils on the platform are set up so that if one of the outside coils is hit, it will blow the second one across the face of the platform and trigger the other two, clearing out anyone in the area.
Also the weapon placement is balanced in a way that will motivate players to move in and out of the bases frequently, and the spawning system is set up to do the same.

I hope that everyone will enjoy this map. I have certainly enjoyed making it.

UPDATE!

The Pool FIX:

I am about as politically disconnected from the XBox Live/343i/Bungie community as possible. I am also pretty new to Forge Hub. That is why I couldn't have been more pleased to see this map spreading to so many people organically within the first couple days of it's publication. Unfortunately I was equally disappointed when I realized that I had left in a minor mistake, and now 895 people have downloaded a flawed map.

If you are one of the 824 people who haven't switched yet, or just someone who wants to check out the map for the first time, please download the fixed version! It's just going to keep driving me insane until you do...
