So a while ago, after I got the Anniversary Map Pack, I decided to do some pancaming and scenery screenies of the new maps. While I was on Ridgeline, I pushed a teleporter outside of the map boundary. After going through, I totally expected to instantly die...that wasn't the case. Instead, I was perfectly safe. There was no countdown at all. I was in a pretty sizeable safe zone outside the map boundary of Ridgeline. Then I got an idea. I mapped out the soft kill and kill zone boundaries(which turned out to be a big V shape), and I started forging using the limited map building resources available on Ridgeline.
The outside safe zone is large enough to make a moderate sized map with the available resources. After the map was completed, I barely had enough of my forge budget to place an equal number of weapons to balance out the map, and just enough to place the necessary safe zones and soft kill zones. The map takes up the whole of the V shape safe zone. No, there's no big V shaped map, rather the map is spaced out throughout the safe zone. The red and blue bases are separated from the main part of the map. To access the main part of the map, there are man cannon's located at the end of each bridge at both bases, as well as teleporters at the back of each base that take you to respective sides of the main part of the map. The main map is symmetrical, as is Red Base, while Blue Base is asymmetrical. Here's the map:

One more thing. The map has yet to be tested. I will say that the only framerate lag I managed to find was at the very back of the main map, just above and below the triangle you can see in the last screenie I posted.
As for recommended gametypes, there are three: Anniversary Slayer, Anniversary Team Slayer, and a custom gametype mix I made between Reach slayer and Anniversary Team Slayer with the Anniversary magnum - 3-Shot Team Slayer, which can be found here: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=25346246&player=sheesh1991
And here are some overview screenies of the map:

Hope you guys like it! Really my first major build.
