We called it *”The Tauren”* and today I still revisit the map and always walk around “The Tauren” as my son moved to Missouri for college last year. My son placed a sign down when we finished building “The Tauren” and the sign states: “UNSC TAUREN, Built 2014, Number Of Components; 4,326,709” and yes we used a total of 4,326,709 blocks to build it.

[@jacobrispoli4351]

They've been updating the one in their new marketplace. Bought it, so worth it! They went back, added command blocks, turned it into a mini story! Each area is now a level, which has it's own unique minigame, and the last 'level', the ice one, combines everything you've used in the previous levels! They've added chests throughout the map in the different locations, The Didact's cryptum is no longer hollow, and is FILLED to the brim with TNT, ready to detonate with the throw of a UNSC grenade(flint and steel) or plasma grenade(fire charge)! And with each recent update like tridents, shields, and the newer mobs all getting Halo themed skins! Shields are now hunter shields, shulker boxes look like those colored barrels on "The Maw" from CE. I'd TOTALLY recommend checking out the newest version! Every time I load up a new map of the Halo Mash-up, I'm finding something new!

You missed out on so much, I bought it on the Xbox One and if you played through it in survival, like you were supposed to, you got a level based campaign of sorts. The portal to the Didact was blocked by several iron gates that would disappear as you beat the levels. Each level had a mission to complete and the music discs were there to try and collect all of them (so in a way your skulls). I don't remember where it was, but one of the Warthogs actually blew up if you flicked the turret lever.
