Hello everyone, this is my attempt at recreating one of my favorite Mythic maps from Halo 3. The map itself is located in the coliseum of ForgeWorld and is elevated to have the natural ceiling that the coliseum has.

The center platform which has the rocket launcher spawn is accessible from each DMR/Needle Rifle spawn via a Normal jump. You can also Crouch jump from rocket spawn back to the DMR/Needle Rifle spawn. This was changed in order to preserve the original jumps.

The bases have 6 initial spawn points for each team but the depth and length of the bases had to be modified due to the width and length of the coliseum. There are also other spawns for FFA and multi-team throughout the map.

Coming out of each base, you are greeted with the SMG spawn being replaced with a single AR at each side. Again, you will notice a slight difference in dimensions and geometry from the original though it does not affect gameplay from the original as these areas were rarely 'hot spots' for combat.

This is a simple view of the DMR/Needle Rifle area in which the majority of combat takes place. The columns are all at 45 degree angles which allow you to walk up them just like in the original.

Replacing the Brute Shot and the Bubble Shield on each side is a Concussion Rifle and a Drop Shield armor ability. The above screenshot also shows the hallway in which Overshield is located.

Finally I present you with the sight-line from Sniper spawn to Shotgun Spawn.

I chose to leave off the boxes at the DMR/Needle Rifle spawn due to that area being slightly narrower than the original. Also, the plasma batteries at the top of each base were not included due to not having a tall and vertical piece that would react similar to how it did. I hope you all enjoyed the visual tutorial, I would embed a video but I'm afraid I don't have any render minutes or a capture card.

Weapons on map:

DMR - 6
Plasma Grenade - 8 (30 second respawn)
Needle Rifle - 4 (45 second respawn, 2 additional clips)
Frag Grenade - 4 (30 second respawn)
Plasma Pistol - 2 (30 second respawn)
Sniper Rifle - 2 (120 second respawn, 2 additional clips)
Shotgun - 2 (120 second respawn, 2 additional clips)

Spiker - 2 (30 second respawn, 2 additional clips)
Plasma Repeater - 2 (30 second respawn)
Concussion Rifle - 2 (60 second respawn, 2 additional clips)
Drop Shield - 2 (60 second respawn)
Overshield - 2 (180 second respawn)
Assault Rifle - 2 (30 second respawn, 2 additional clips)
Rockets - 1 (180 second respawn, 0 additional clips)

I have included new pictures of the v1 changes I made. Rocket platform is now accessible from the DMR areas through a normal jump. Getting back to the DMR areas requires a crouch jump (like the original). I removed the FX from the map to brighten it up a bit. I added 8 FFA initial spawns as well as a pair of initial spawns for Green, Orange, Purple, and Yellow teams. I added KotH, and Headhunter to supported gametypes. Please download and comment on the new additions and let me know which one you guys liked better.
