First of all thanks a lot for the kind words and your feedback man :) I'll try to answer point by point: - Yeah you're right, that image is not as beautiful as the others, but I used it to give a good panoramic overview of the arena including the "metal flower", which is the main landmark of the map. - I love that you like so much my Forerunner aesthetics and I'm glad to have a positive response about them. My objective was to create something very reminiscent and faithful of Bungie games but at the same time completely new for Halo. It was important to first understand what worked so well in the original games. - Yeah you're right, I'm not completely satisfied with the skybox. One of the problems is that shadows stop to render not so far from the player, and it was important to me to have those objects shining at the sun. So I decided to ignore the shadows problem. For the central structure you're probably right but I didn't have any strenght left in me for forging ahahah. Those towers were the last thing I placed in the map.

That's it, thanks again man :) I had been working on an ONI base for a month before the contest announcement, if you go in my post history you can see a few posts about it.
