So I've been teasing it for a while, but I finally have a working, finalized version of the map formerly known as Refraction. It's now called Glass House. It's named for the large panels of glass covering the exterior of the map. It stems from the phrase "don't throw stones in glass houses" and so I decided to incorporate that into the name and it's description.
Some of y'all have played on the alpha version of the map, and not a lot has changed since then. The map layout largely remains the same, with some slight changes to accommodate the desired aesthetics or from feedback received during the testing. I'm very appreciative of all the feedback I received in my playtests and hopefully I was able to address the issues without getting rid of the things that people liked. Having said that, there are still some changes that I wanted to make, but I'm still limited by the pieces available and the mechanics behind some aspects of building a map.
The design was originally done in 2009, as a more vertical take on The Pit. It was revised in December 2010 when Anchor 9 released and some concepts were taken from it. It as then left abandoned for years because Reach wasn't a fair vertical game and Halo 4 was well... I figured with Halo 5's great mobility additions now was the best time to bring it to life. It also helped that Halo 5's Forge was such an improvement over previous versions.
I'll write more on this later, but I wanted to use lines on the ground to help guide the players' eyes along paths that I want them to take. These lines will hopefully guide players to the Sniper and the lift.
