Summary Intended for 4v4 Core gameplay, Transpire is a map inspired by construct that is in its embryonic stage of development. I look to improve this map continuously as it goes through testing and look forward to your tips to make it better. Lore UNSC has just unearthed an ancient city encapsulated in sedimentary rock. It's older than Forerunner technology and possibly more advanced. Scientists have concluded that this city was home to unidentified aliens and that photosynthetic life was likely invented here. Definition Transpire - occur; materialize (Biology) - Transpiration is the process by which plants evaporate water into the atmosphere via small pores in their leaves.

Your use of lighting and decals is absolutely gorgeous. I love your choice of colors. The geometry is quite impressive. It feels really alien yet understandable. I am concerned about your weapon set. I feel (this is opinion) that counting the Halo One pistol and Camo there is one too many power weapons on the map. I'd have to Download it later to see. If those forgers have tested it, then your weapon set is probably good, it just sounds a bit heavy for 4v4. This looks like a great map though. The atmosphere is awesome.
Those wonderful forgers actually didn't do any testing yet, and neither have I. They've just taken observations of the map and gave me some pointers. This is on the cusp of Alpha stage and I wanted to make a thread for forging suggestions (like the one you have just made) before I begin initial testing.
Yes! Looks sweet, even better than the version I looked at...I dig the name too. I can't offer an opinion on the weapon set yet, I'll have to give it some play throughs. The map looks promising thus far though.
