1. Preface

It's been a long road for me with the map. I've been plugging away for 4 months. I've invested hundreds of hours and neglected a million things to come this far. My goal was to make the best custom map that I possibly could and perhaps the best overall CE map. But I'll let you do the judging. I'm too tired.

After all the designs, redesigns, textures, retextures, lighting, and relighting, it's a very difficult thing to let this map go. But I'm sure you'll give it a good home.



2. Backstory

Uhhh.... let's see... A section of UNSC Cruiser that was sealed off and reconfigured for Spartan training exercises during deep space voyages? That sound okay? Fine then. I'll go with that.



3. Weapon Modifications

Due to the scale of the map, I thought it was necessary to imrpove certain weapons, so that the pistol wouldn't be the mandatory choice. I was very conservative and left most weapons alone. Though I will say this: you can either live by the AR, or die by the AR. The bitch is back.

- Assault Rifle (greater accuracy, greater damage per round, lower rate of fire) Effectiveness: 8
- Pistol (lower damage per round) Effectiveness: 7
- Needler (faster needles) Effectiveness: 4
- Fuel Rod Gun (lower rate of fire) Effectiveness: 10
- Warthog Chaingun (greater accuracy) Effectiveness: 7

8. Thanks!

Thank you, Bungie, for making my favorite game of all time. Thank you, Gearbox, for shouldering the Custom Edition yourselves and making this map possible. Thanks to Nick from CEAds for letting me use his server to beta test. Thanks to Grenadiac for lending Nick the server. Thanks to the non-dead weight beta testers. There are a few that come to mind more readily than others, but you all offered invaluable help and I appreciate your enthusiasm. And thank YOU for reading this and giving my map a try.
