__________________________________________________
Hello Forgehub, while this is not my first forged map, this is my first map submitted to Forgehub. This map was supposed to be entered into the Forgotten Treasure contest, but as a result of a red ring of death 2 nights before entry i was unable. So i give you it now. All feedback is welcome, just keep it constructive. please. Anyways let us get on with the map. This is a remake of the Halo CE map, longest. Note the name similarities, uncanny I know. About 60 hours went into this map between planning building, and all round adjustments. But most of the hours went into the unique ascetic structures, as you will see.

Description

Longevity is a team and FFA based map. Being true to the original all except i have tried to do away with spawn-killing. While all spawn-killing is impossible it is a million times better than longest's, insta-rape. Being symmetrical in every way you can think of this "long walk a down a short hallway" is quite correct. Weave in and out of the middle isle. My map so far is UNIQUE, being the only* map on Forgehub to host a LADDER or two in this case. (* only, as of right now, I'm sure people will start to include them in their maps) This revolutionary advancement has allowed me to create longest into Longevity with utmost accuracy to detail and play terrific. All of this was done without budget glitching... its really amazing!
