    Two years, five maps, and here we are. One last Island to end the series. Many of you may have no idea what I'm talking about, but some do. It's the series that started with 5,738 downloads, then the sequel with 19,365 downloads... then a big and sudden gap. I don't think anyone's even heard of the third sky island, let alone the fourth or the fifth (aka "The Sky Island"). So now I've finally gotten the hint, I've gotten the clue. It's time to end sky floating maps, and it has been long time to do so. This is the gasp of light, flashing behind a closing door. This is it. Time to say hello and goodbye. It's time for...

    Until then, I'm gone from Tuesday to Sunday.. so I won't be able to answer any questions during that time (if there are any lol).

    I'm out.

    The Valhalla one was actually sky island 2 :p
    It's a bit flat.. but I didn't want to overdo it. The other sky islands had lifts and teleporters going up to high places, so I decided to keep this final one more down to earth. Plus, it's kind of cheap when one single island can view the entire map.

    I've tested a little bit. You can join next time I'm on.

    Why is it boring? I tried incorporating the lift-trend I've done with the other maps.. Now there are 3 lifts which spice things up a bit.

    your other sky islands just had a wow factor... even if they werent popular. you did things nobody had done before. this one seems like the gameplay would be good, but not really innovative. but thats based on the pictures, next time im playing halo ill try to join your testing. just send me an invite, even if im playing MW2. unless my bro or sis or dad is playing than ill switch to halo to test it.
