    Okay, so this map isn't anywhere where I originally wanted it.. It was originally supposed to be a huge island.. but I guess I sort of broke off that idea somehow..
    I just don't like the look of things.. but whatever, here you guys can take a look:

    Just remember that this is a work in progress so I have lots of stuff scattered around...

    This is the part I really don't like:

    Please give me your opinions.. I'm really not sure where I should go from here.. and I'm really starting to wonder if I should just trash it and start over.

    Thanks.

    P.S. This is budget-glitched so I can add A LOT more.

    The death barrier is slightly below the grid.. I wanted the grid to look like water... for some reason.

    That's another thing I'd change if I made a v2.. cuz the grid gets a bit irritating after a while.

    Is there anything I could add? Like a building, or.. ANYTHING? Otherwise I think I'll trash it.

    Well unless you decided to just have a game of slayer in forge.. then you wouldnt see the grid anyway? :S
    So if you cant walk to the end of some of the angled walls (which i think you cant of some of them judging by the picture) your going to have a lot of confused dead people :S

    I know from experience a vehicle can drive on that bridge below the grid, iv seen that done b4 but never released. Idk about what to tell you too add, but if your going to trash it could u send it to me, i bet i could come up with something. And of course you would get full credit because well its your map i'd just be adding a little.

    looks sexy, but kind of empty. I would add some bases and outposts on the Islands.

    + "Why did you built parts of the map under the grid??" Because you can and dont let anybody tell you cant!

    This looks pretty cool. The amount of what seems to be ghost-merged double walls musta taken awhile though.

    The first pic kinda reminded me of relic...

    I'm likin' it.. Pillboxes, hmm, I've never heard that word before *goes to Dictionary.com*... Oh, okay, gotchya.

    Towers, idk.. I'm not really good at making stairs.. Maybe I can add another lift or something.

    Mongoose, idk.. It's pretty hard to drive on right now..

    One last thing, I need more "bridges" between the two islands. By "bridges" I don't mean bridges, I mean anything that will link the two islands, cuz I don't think two mancannons will do the trick.

    Yeah i would try and do wood, i think it flows with the island theme of the map. And who says they have to be connected all the way =p a bridge that's half destroyed but able to be jumped by a vehicle would be nice. Also yeah pill box's would be a really good idea. That and maybe a sniper perch? Also if you had the budget you could do some aesthetic palm tree's.

    Okay, well I've deleted this map because I just don't like it. Instead, I'm building a somewhat symmetrical base in the middle tier with an island or two above.

    I will not be posting a map preview for this new version, so you'll just have to look around for it in the upcoming week or two.
