Church is a multiplayer map for the game, Halo: Custom Edition on the PC. Halo CE is a free downloadable expansion for Halo, which allows you to play new user-created maps. These maps can also support new weapons and vehicles, amongst other modifications. After downloading Church you must extract it into the maps folder, which is located within the directory where you installed Halo CE.
Church takes place entirely indoors and has three levels: the ground floor, a balcony running all the way around the large central room and a cellar/basement. There is a flag room for each team, though these are not identical, since the map is not symmetrical. The map is small enough for 4 players, yet intricate enough to sustain a hectic 16 player game. Church stands out graphically as a result of pushing the Halo engine as far as it can go while still remaining playable. Specifically, it uses over 60 new high resolution textures, as well as extensively detailed bumpmapping, 16 custom cubemaps and entirely new dynamic light sources.
