I have heard that this is going to be one of the worst level released on the new map pack. But the run-thru of it, made the level seem really neat and strategic. The only thing i am worried about is the balance of CTF games, but i am sure it will play out great like bungie always makes it. So i am looking foward to playing this one along with all the other new maps. Heck, i just like playing halo 2.

It is an interesting twist about having to go past the actual flag point to get to it. The idea of a teleporter that needs to be activated is intesting also.

That level looks really cool. While I hate sniper rifles (and the damn Rocket Launcher), the view is amazing, and it looks like it'll be really fun for any game type.
Why are the new maps so much better than the originals?

i keep my posts clean, please do the same =].

DOCTOR BOB - To answer your question..the map pack cost on download content is 11.99 [12.00 >_>]

Also...the Relic offense base looks awesome..I mean first off you get to unlock a teleporter..then you can get easy access to a sniper that is in one of those barrels from Campaign...and also you get to see that big thing light up when the teleporter's unlocked....AWESOME!

[Also for the defense base..you get to go in that covenant watchtower..lucky]

This is going to be the best map made. Theres an advantage for the more experinced players, and a disadvantage for the less experinced people {Noobs}.

Sick map. Zanzabar was too simple, compact, and one-sided. this looks more ballenced with the dropship as a base. and interactive... I like. nice job Bungie!

The Zanzibar gate idea turned out to be a dud. Upping the ante with the transporters is an AWESOME idea. This will be the new and improved Zanzibar!!

I have a sweet game idea for this map....make it like a Normandy type map and have mounted guns on the base and play assault with lives...sweet. Oh...and nothing but BRs and shotguns.


And maybe nades.....

no rockets though cus they are for noobs

Dear Community Guy,

I have read the entire pre-view on Relic, and bought the 2005 July issue of OXM with the promo video's of all the new maps on the game disc. I think that Rellic will be an awsomely great CTF map and I have some suggestion's. First off, I think there should be a second ( and maybe a third and fourth ) base, were as the gigantic relic is guarded, yet open, the other(s) should be in the open ( i.e. a base surrounded by nothing ) but heavily guarded, what I mean is a small base ( like those little forts right before you get into the tunnel on Outskirts in campaign mode ) with two warthogs park directly behind the tiny base, and a series of weapons leading away from the base ( towards the relic ). After your slightly away from your base you come into bunch of huge rocks ( like a landslide recently happpened ). Where if you were in the warthog you would have to go on foot or drive in the open sight ( or just not go that direction ). Also I think there should be an opening to a underground tunnel which leads to the basement of the relic, which has a gate that can only be opened for a specific amount of time, by finding a button/switch on the outside of the base, and once you have entered the base you have to go up ramps and such ( like in the new map, Elongation ). Where you will find the sword in the heart of the base. There will be more ramps and a variety of cover ( i.e. walls, boxes, bulletproof windows, ect. ) and some plasma grenades along the way to the upper level of Relic. there you will find the flag and be able to drop the flag off the edge. Plus if there were mutiple bases for assault the game would be a bit more intenses, because you would have to protect the carrier in the openness of the map in a shorter distance, which would make other players more defensive then just leaving their base for someone else to plant. Another thing that might be cool is a banshee on the inside of the base which a player can obtain and patrol the ancient base. But cause of that a rocket launcher should be in favor of the offensive team. I think a good thing would be is to put a bundle of rocks around the back and side of the relic for a sneak attack on the defensive team. though, all these things seem to give the attackers a upper hand, the defenders should have a mouted turret on the ledge of the relic where the flag is posted. Also, I think there should be a variety of long-ranged weapons and magnums on the upper level of the structure, and SMG / Plasma Rifels ( and other weapons that fall into that catagory ) on the middle and lower level of the forrunner building. So now that I can't think of anything else my must say good bye and please take my suggestion's in to concideration. Thx =)

Sincerly
PimpAznBoi,

P.S. I know it's to late to put them in, but possibly you could make them as downloads in the following months ?

don't you think the teleporter in relic will allow the defensive team to spawn kill the offensive team throughout the game? the can just camp at the defensive base and kill us with awesome weapons and a ghost.
