Avarice


Avarice
By squidhands

Recommended Players: 2-8
Recommended Gametypes: Team Slayer, Slayer, KOTH, Oddball, One Flag, One Bomb

Good ol' squidhands is back at it again. His latest, Avarice, is a mid-sized marvel complete with both matchmaking and MLG varieties. Varying elevations and a mix of medium and long range sight lines truly capture the classic Halo: CE feel in all its glory. Fantastic for a wide array of gametypes, of both FFA and team capacities, Avarice has something for everyone to enjoy.

Fan of those one-sided objective games? Assault the blue room with coordinated attacks in search of that coveted objective. Like you some King? Avarice shines in both Team and FFA Hill games. Lost that slayin' feeling? Use the high ground to your advantage and always watch your teammates' backs. Make sure you grab the recommended gametypes SkyFlag One and Team Skyball for optimal CTF and Oddball settings. Forged expertly, Avarice's unique geometry and its uncanny way of promoting movement throughout keeps this map fresh and exciting for about as many games as you fancy.

relly like the layout but for some reason reminds me of something ive seen before, hmm wish i could remember what, but anyway i love the layout and cant wait to play on it overall 9.5/10 would be 10/10 but because of the strange familiarity.

Congratulations on the new feature Squidhands! I figured this was one of the few maps going to get featured soon. And I was right! I have snuck a few games of this in with my parties, and if you know me *wink wink* I host a lot of parties. (Apologies to those whose testing sessions I have ruined by bringing my parties along).

/facepalm. this is standard featured map thread format. there is a link at the bottom that says VIEW ORIGINAL FORGEHUB THREAD FOR MORE INFORMATION

*shakes head in disdain*

also, you suck for voting already on a map you know practically nothing about.

WOW,

I am so glad this was featured, cause I was JUST checking out this map in the forge and thinking "wow this is awesome"

Great map. I can't wait to try it in customs when I round up enough people.

The first time I played this map I had no idea Squid forged it. I was amazed at how balanced the map was and (as my party would know) fascinated by those holes in the floors at the top hill. Such a well-deserved feature, Squid, make more asymmetrical MLG maps like this. These play so well. Congrats on the feature dude.

EDIT: Just a little side note: King plays amazingly on this.

WIN!

i think i played this in a previous TGIF and it was pretty fun, the only bad side was people on my team died too easily...at our own base, i mean our AVG life was about 5 seconds.

REALLY great map though.
but when you play make peoples shields a little stronger.

5shot br kills or somthing?
