Wow, wow, wow, all I have to say is wow. Gunner, your really out did yourself with this clever map layout. The design is so great that even if you hadn't built it around two trees I'd still be just as good, well almost. Not only are the aesthetics absolutely jaw-dropping, but the gameplay is enjoyable as well. This, my poop colored friend, is the definition of an amazing map.
Amazing, amazing map. The gameplay is fun and hectic, especially for FFA. The aesthetics are amazing, and aren't sacrificed for the gameplay. The weapons are balanced and have good R vs. R standpoints. Well deserving of a feature, I'll be sure to nominate.
Amazing map, love the aesthetics can't wait to play this with some friends, i love the tree centerpiece and the lights =3 I would love to see this i matchmaking instead of "Paradiso" , "The Cage", etc.
Most people underestimate a single plasma rifle! Works just as well for me as a shotgun really. Its quite the handy tool for close quarters. That's why its in the hallways. I love Bob Ross! I've watched all his episodes. Its just a compliment that you associated my map with his pine trees =P haha! Thanks Skisma.... ^.^ Here is the gameplay video, now on Youtube.

I really can't say how good this map is without repeating others lol. Allot of praise out there for this map and it's well deserved. I too wish I had a testing team of such magnitude lol
This map is fantastic in every way. Great Level design and aesthetic creation. However this has cost you in frame rate when viewing from certain points in the map. Now I don't want you to take the beauty away, but improving frame rate would make it perfect. I would honestly like to see this as a 4v4 in matchmaking, but that frame rate is holding it back. I believe you can do it though. Great job.
Played a bunch of games with some buddies on this map last night. Everyone loved it. No negative comments. The trees make it really easy easy to get your bearings even if you don't know the map. Great map for small battles so I've rated it 5/5
No words can express how beautiful this map is. I have yet to test this map out but I imagine from the looks of it, it looks like a really good slayer map. I will download it and see how it plays out.
Just from the pictures, I know this is my favorite map so far. The aesthetics are incredible. I'll be playing this one for sure.
this map is down right AWESOME!! playing alot of swat and infection on this map. I also downloaded your vanilla dark map and added the purple fx to it, perfect for zombies!!
This map is just pure vanilla. Mmmm... pun for teh win Beautiful map, truly. I have a thought that if you can see less of the items on map, you have less frame rate issues, yes?
That's actually pretty interesting. Overall though, I'm impressed by this map, the design works perfectly. I'm looking forward to you future maps.
I just grabbed this and ran around to check it out. I love the layout and visuals. Something about the feel made me expect the two ends to be symmetrical and I was surprised when it wasn't. Game play should be a blast. Can't wait to try this out.
so many pics and information! i like this map it was very fun to play on with my friends. I really cant find anything wrong with this map 5/5 GOOD JOB!
Downloaded it and tried it out. With 4 players it played nice and smoothly, but when I had 8 players in a ffa stock standard slayer game I was running into framerate issues and the walls and floors started to shimmer and 'pop'. Love the layout of the map though!
Downloaded this looks like a great map bungie should seriously consider putting this into matchmaking keep up the good work
Great map, the only thing negative I have to say about it would be the slow framerate, espicially when going up lifts. If you somehow sped up the framerate (maybe delete unnecessary aesthetics) then I could see a high possibility that Bungie would pick Vanilla up.
The layout is pretty good. I found there to be a struggle for height, and there really wasn't all THAT many ways up. The map flow was what made it weaker for me. Other than that, it was a pretty decent map. You're the first to use the tree inside aesthetic, which is cool, but I feel that is a gimmick that's getting more attention than the actual map.
