[b]**Not forged, Created using computer***[/b] Hey, I've been looking around the community forums and ive noticed that many people want a water based map created. I took the liberty of creating this map, so ive been hard at work doing so. Below are some pictures of the map, which is relativley basic so far. Please note that many elements are missing, but will be added soon, such as bridges, trees, docks, water, etc. I will keep adding onto this thread with updated pictures in the future. There will be 10 update over all, 1 being basic concept and 10 being fully colored, textured, etc. If you're just coming to tell me that I'm wasting my time, dont bother posting because I'm not aiming to do anything special with this map unless Bungie takes notice of it. This is just something I did in my spare time because I thought the community would take interest in it. Which the did. ________________________________________________________________________ [b]**Official polls**[/b] Please vote for this map to be made a real Halo 3 DLC map! the official thread it here: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=20883594&postRepeater1-p=1#20883903]Poll made by legendofslotter[/url] [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=20958291&v iewreplies=true]Official Name Poll[/url] [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=21022314]Official Map Backstory Poll[/url] ________________________________________________________________________ [b]**Name Ideas**[/b] -Hurricane -Flood -Flash Flood -Wreckage -DeepSea -Oceanic -Deep Green -Lagoon -High Cove ________________________________________________________________________ [b]**Our Groups**[/b] [url=http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/197643/Group/GroupHome.aspx]The skechup group[/url] Join today if you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced and become a part of our soon to be growing community.
