<div class="IPBDescription">It's about time.</div>So, co_halo is a map I've been developing since probably about 2004. I got pretty far with it; it was even being playtested for official inclusion at one point. But, as is often the case, other personal obligations got in the way, I wasn't able to make the required changes, and ended up leaving the map behind. Stilll, I was pretty proud of what I'd done so far, and bar a few problems with the original hive, its tight, frantic gameplay seemed to work well.

A couple of days ago, I was looking through my hard-drive and came across the RMF. I took a look through it and found I'd done far more to fix it up than I'd thought. It started to weigh on me that I'd never gotten the map past beta, so I decided to finish it up properly and release a final version 1. There's not much of a reason to it other than getting it finished and behind me, but I figured that was worth the effort of a couple of days work. Screenshots and a download link below:

    Hey, I remember this!

    The games we played on it even while it was WIP were always fun. Good to see that you finished it.
