My Opinion - High Treason is a marvel of a Foundry modification. It is unique in it's construction and it plays very well on all game variants, assymertical played the best, but it also plays well on symmetrical.

LE610N X is a genius, he brings an artistic approach to forging that is unparalleled by no less than the best of best. Like Aspire and 4RUNNER, High Treason was constructed with an unusual yet extraordinary design. The author makes use of every piece and they are as important as any other. Every staircase, weapon holder, window piece, etc. serves it's purpose either cosmetically or interactively. It also has a windy shape to it that makes the level seem more fluid and less blocky. LE610N X also used an interesting theme, whether intentional or not, by making corner piece roof tops that gives it a cityscape feel.

There are no real flaws to this map, if anything because of it's clustered design it is a bit confusing at first. That doesn't damper the map though, Ghost Town annoyed me until I learned it's layout and now it's one of my favorite Halo 3 maps. Also, there are a lot of hiding spots and sniper positions that can and will aggravate unfamiliar people as those who are familiar have the advantage. But, that is not the Author's fault, learn your enviroment because this is a fantastic map.

In retrospect, I monitor a lot of custom maps and at the request of my groups and individual users I submit reviews. I have seen almost everything and there is a reason why LE610N X is one of my favorite forgers. His maps are intricate and original and his forging skills are top dog. High Treason is certainly no let down, it is in my opinion his best to date. Download this map it is worthy of Bungie Favorites.
