Map THFE Feature: Alkaline City

Check out Alkaline City in the HaloCustoms map database!

One of the greatest triumphs of Halo's Forge features is the freedom it gives to players to create things the games' developers never imagined. In few cases is this more apparent than with the creation of linear progressive, or "journey" style infection maps. Pioneered in Halo 3, these maps create a progressive experience with story elements within a competitive multiplayer suite. One of the most important aspects of any map which sets out to tell a story is the level of immersion it achieves. This is where Alkaline City truly shines.

-Orzium- has created an atmosphere with Alkaline City. Sure, the abandoned city aesthetic is one of the most popular themes in infection maps, but in few cases is it achieved quite so well. The level of aesthetic detail on this map is quite impressive. The map may have gotten off to a shaky start in terms of design, but after a few months of testing the majority of these issues have been hammered out. Alkaline City will make a fine addition to any infection lobby's map lineup.

This is an absolute blast. One of the few games of flood i actually enjoy, as you have strategies to employ as a flood and dont need to just fling yourself at the humans over and over. I also infinitely prefer this type of flood game to free roam.

According to Paints, Orzium did not have the updated version on his file share. Paints was under the impression that this was the final version. It was simply a communication error.
