Final Elegy
Winner of Forgehub Favorites XXIV

The Final Geminus
Final Elegy began with the idea only that I wanted to create a map with both blue and purple lights in a dark environment. After a few attempts in Forge I mixed what I liked about the other attempts and added new elements such as the silent lifts and the Armor Ability Evade, this being my first map to feature both lights and the previously mentioned map attributes.

The map is one of my more visually striking ones, putting aesthetics into mind as the main goal was those lights and no lag. Which somehow I acheived. Even on a split-screen game I played the lag, though existent, was not problematic to gameplay. The map is smaller and symmetrical, making for good 1v1 and 2v2 matches. There is a bounty of ways from where you are to your destination as well, as there are silent lifts (in the image below shown as a blue wall) and many paths that can take you all over the map, not to mention the tactical jumps.

Special Thanks
I would like to thank all of those who helped test and provide feedback, including my friends and the Testers Guild. A special thanks to Sinless Legend for his assistance in aesthetic designs for some parts of Final Elegy and Confused Flamingo, who tested this map for me and wrote a review during its beta form.

A Final Map
Final Elegy is my last Halo:Reach map I will be forging. This map and the map pack has been a delight to make, and great fun to play on. I am so happy to have met such good people who are willing to spend their time helping others in the projects of forge that we all here take part in.
I want to thank Forgehub for connecting us all and maintaining a professional place of Halo Reach forge. Without this site and all of you on it I would still be a novice forger at best, and I feel like I have become far better in my time here, learning new tricks and ways of viewing parts and what makes a map good or bad.
With my retire however I will not be leaving the site, but I will no longer be forging in the foreseeable future. I hope that you all had just as much fun here as I have, and I hope we can all continue to grow as a community.

Edit: So while this was intended to be a final map it seems after a several month hiatus I took up forging again, and with the expansion to 25 slots of file share space, I have released other map(s) and forged since, after my long absence.
