Notes:
A luxurious underwater aquarium.
This level took much inspiration from the original Halo levels Rat Race and Chiron TL-34, with its many ramps and teleporters giving players quick access to multiple points around the map.
BSP planning, modeling, unwrapping, lighting, and population by Higuy.
Thanks to AVP Dragon for the textures.
Thanks to Bobby Darin for his two tracks "Beyond the Sea" and "Mack the Knife" which are featured within the level.
Thanks to SBB Team and CE3 team (MattDratt) for allowing me to use their servers for server testing!
And Killa_FTW, thanks for all the fish (models and textures of fish).
As you can tell, this level greatly is based off of my previous map Garden in terms of aesthetics. This time however, I used default Halo lighting and still managed to find the results I wished for. I also believe the fidelity level was increased as well, with more knowledge acquired over the years of the HEK compared to when Garden was created way back in 2009.
Kinda just wanted to release the level and be done with it :-). Some small portal errors but nothing major.
Also, a quick note about the Sharks: They are AI. They have a small issue on servers: If you join during a game, they do not sync (as in, you will see their retarded bodies floating in the tank in random areas.) Not much I can do about that as far as I know but they look great for portfolio pieces and don't affect the gameplay :)

For reals though I just ran around the map, it's really nice. I dig the fake caustics and the huge lensflare in the big tank. The music was a nice touch too. Textures seems kinda low res though. I also feel like you could have make the geometry a it more rounded and hi poly considering it's 2014. Those inaccesable side hallways seen through some of the aquarium windows are nice too. Makes the map feel bigger without actually being bigger.

I thought it was Misty, but saw everyone saying Asuka so I played along and tried to be cool.
