PROPHETS' FIRE

"The lava in this ancient volcanic canyon was once harnessed and utilized by the Forerunners as a seemingly infinite supply of energy. Long after being abandoned by the Forerunners this site was discovered by the Covenant Prophets who worshiped and studied it trying to learn its secrets. Most obsessed by the mystery of this Ancient Installation was the "Prophet of Stewardship" who at times even ignored the Supreme leaders orders in the hopes that he could further unravel the secrets of this mysterious place and unleash its power on ALL who opposed him.."

Prophets Fire is a Forerunner themed/Covenant Occupied Symmetrical BTB map that takes place in a hollowed out canyon with Lava running throughout slicing the map in a diagonal pattern.The deadly lava flowing through the map offers some very interesting vehicle/infantry gameplay and is a danger to players on foot who are not careful or to drivers who don't jump the crevice gaps with at least a moderate amount of speed. Both Red and Blue sides of the map are clearly recognizable by the massive uniquely designed Forerunner Spires which also harness the energy from the lava and hold the Binary Rifles for each opposing team.The bases and caves located located on opposite sides of the map are also easily distinguishable via Forerunner light beacons and other subtle visual cues.There is a central bridge suspended over a lava pit which holds the Fuel Rod Cannon and also a switch which both raises and lowers a Forerunner bridge out of the lava for easier traversal through the middle for both infantry and vehicles(though the extra bridge is not needed for traversal through the middle, it does however make it much easier for both infantry and vehicles to bridge the gap in quicker fashion as well as provide additional cover.) This scripted bridge can also be cleverly used as a trap,lowering the bridge out from under the feet of unsuspecting Spartans and dropping them into a fiery inferno. This map plays best for CTF and Assault but also works nicely for all core gametypes ,Strongholds played well in tests and was very intense,especially the fight over the middle stronghold. There are many viable and useful paths to run objectives in and out of the bases and also a few clever and sneaky hiding spots to holdout for a vehicle transport with the flag if desired.A lift in each base near the flag spawns grant quick access to the top levels of each base and a man-cannon on top of each base quickly shoots players towards the opposing teams Courtyard and cave areas.There are many options of traversal for both infantry and vehicles alike.

I had a lot of fun making and testing this (My 2nd H5 map) and I'm pretty excited about how the whole Forerunner theme came together from my initial vision on how I wanted the map to be,thanks so much for looking,I hope you enjoy! Special thanks to INFINUT for helping with all the tests on this in his Customs Lobbies.
