Harmony is a gorgeous Halo 3 rendition inspired heavily by the popular Unreal Tournament III map Shangri-La. Designed first in
Google SketchUp by HITtheLIGHTZ, and implemented into Forge by Squihands, Harmony is the perfect example of what a strong layout and proper planning can yield. With a 1v1 version, as well as a 2v2 Matchmaking version and even an MLG version, Harmony is the perfect playground for players of all styles looking for some intensely competitive, small-team battles. Harmony offers a variety of elevations in a somewhat separated map, making a relatively small space play much larger than it looks.
With gameplay centered around the 2 power-ups and 2 Sniper Rifles, players need to be on their toes in order to gain an edge on their opponents. Slayer games see players rotating around the map like a carousel in frenetic firefights while trying to maintain an accurate timing of the power weapons. In objective games, successful teams will reap the benefits of coordinated attacks and covering one another. Overall, Harmony's intelligent design and impeccable forging make it a top-notch map worthy of a spot on anyone's hard drive.
