Hmm… Just judging by some of the screenshots, it almost looks like a map that should be in matchmaking. It just seems like what i would see in the selection.
And also, the presentation of your post is very nice.

We still have several months before Halo 4 is released, so there is plenty of time for a wave of community maps to be introduced into Halo: Reach Matchmaking. Personally, I won’t give up until Halo 4 is inserted into my disk tray. Thanks for the support!
