Exile? My old friend? You're in Halo 5 now? ... I can die happy. Seriously, thank you SO MUCH! This is the map that I've been hoping someone would make since Forge dropped!

Scaling is waaaay off man. That's your remake's biggest problem. I think you should you should compress the map
I know the tank side is more open than in Halo 4, but the other side is very close, do you have suggestions and points to look at?
I made the map based on run times as opposed to measuring it with crates or vehicles so that it would play better with the halo 5 sandbox. I don't want to have use a halo 4 game type for people to play on the map. But I am open to suggestions.
I might just be imagining it, but wasn't the tank-side bridge elevated a bit more from the land around it? Doing so would cut down on the sight line down that side of the map and keep it from appearing too open.
I looked it up; all three bridges are just slightly higher. Not necessarily a deal-breaker; I know your budget must be just about shot. The difference isn't that much anyhow.
Here's my suggestion. Just scale it like it was back in Halo 4. You won't need a Halo 4 gametype. Just use the basic Halo 5 BTB gametype. Halo 4 had sprint too so you don't have to worry about the map being too small for Halo 5. Yes, we have other abilities like spartan charge, thruster, clamber, and all that but I really don't think you have to make this remake accommodate those settings. Look at some of the good existing remakes now. Citadel, Narrows, Construct, etc. None of those maps were scaled way up and they still play well with Halo 5 settings. Trust me man. Your remake is overscaled. Which is a shame because your aesthetics are on point.
I think banshee side is fine, but you are definitely right about the sight lines on tank side, I'll see if I can clean those up
