    If a map could make my birds eye view pictures the preview thumbnail, that'd be grand. Thanks.

    Looks fun! I'll have to grab a game on it at some point.

    Excellent map. 4 of us played it with Rockets and had a blast. Several actually.

    Aesthetically pleasing as well. If I may suggest: change the color of the grav lift light to something further away from the color of your teleporters. There were a couple of disorienting moments.

    Also I found a ledge in the pit that you could probably fix in 2 seconds.

    Keep forging! I'd love to play the map with you so feel free to add me. My gamertag is also Tom Cinder.

    This is a very well-made map; I loved the theme! The way many of the structures were organized was clearly reminiscent of the Two Betrayals style you were trying to pull off. I played a match of slayer on this a couple days ago and I had a blast.

    The only things I would say you should touch up on are the named location volumes and some small areas that showed z-fighting. Also, I managed to find a way to get out of the map while checking it out in a custom game (http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Lil Black BUBBA/video/13671279), so don't forget to either patch that up more or add some kill boundaries.

    Other than that, I think the map's fantastic. Great job!

    Yeah, the getting out of the map exploit was a slight over sight on my part. I patched that in a recent version a couple days ago. As for z-fighting... I don't get it man. I get rid of z-fighting where it crops up, then after a couple games it appears somewhere else as if the pieces are shifting. A bit frustrating as I'm not exactly one for leaving z-fighting on my maps. :/

    I'll just leave this here since it didn't get linked in the CU.

    Saved a new file, getting rid of the "v4" suffix. New file has several changes, as listed below.

    • Optimized some piece usage
    • Swapped out decorative light pieces for shield generators
    • Knocked out walls and cleaned up space inside OS Tower
    • Widened all doorways
    • Significantly widened doorway at Snipe building
    • Redesigned all doors to have same aesthetic
    • Incorporated "trolly" Scattershot ledge into the map properly with a new area
    • Removed BRs, added a second Light Rifle

    Enjoy.

    Your last picture showed the top of the main bridge instead of underneath it. I think the new shot looks good.

    I haven't changed anything... must have randomly chose a new thumbnail when I edited the thread recently.

    One final note I didn't put in the review.


    There isn't a single 4v4 map in Halo 5 that plays better than this map. And honestly I doubt there's going to be.
