Completed Maps: Foundry

Community General Discussion
1

DESCRIPTION: “Foundry” is a strong recreation of the classic Halo 3 multiplayer map called, “Foundry.” Built with replication in mind, this map attempts to reconcile every shape aspect of the original with the resources available; and, of course, it’s accompanied by a refreshing new color scheme. Although compromises had to be made, and some design liberties taken, members of the “old school” will discover, to their delight, the fond experience they shared many years ago remains intact for this forge iteration. The map supports all current game types, and its subsidiaries: team slayer, capture the flag, strongholds, breakout (max 8 players), and free for fall (max 6 players). While traditional game settings, no sprint or thrusters/ stabilizers, are recommended, the map can still support the newest mechanics offered in Halo 5’s sandbox.

NOTES: if you find anything wrong with the map, please drop a comment, so it can be updated. If you have enjoyed my work, please take the time to leave a comment or a review. Nothing short of “a labor of love” can best describe the dedication I poured into this classic Halo 3 recreation.

Farewell, and best wishes, until next time,
-Tex
