    do you mean 40 things are interlocked, or geomerged into the ground

    I only saw around 10 things geomerged from the pictures provided.....anyways, the only comment i have good is that it has good potential for amazing layout, and one bad thing is that it is WAY too open

    keep up the good work!

    Looks like you have some great forging potential and this is one of the first threads I've posted on this week; it being the only high quality one. I'm going to download and get back to you with some feedback on your game play and aesthetics. It looks like the only problem is that it seems you had some parts of your map planned out, and they turned out beautifully, but some parts just placed kind of randomly. It's good to think about certain parts of your map so that one base doesn't look way better than the other base. If you know what I mean.

    EDIT: Your maps fine, that's just a problem I had when I started forging, so maybe you could have it too. Otherwise your maps great, the best on on the forums this week. I'll post a separate post for my review.

    This looks really interesting, Also the geo-merging looks good and not sloppy like you would expect if someone geo-merged 40 times in a map.

    I really don't know what else to say it looks like a solid map, keep up the great work.

    Truly a great looking map. The interlocking and geo-merging looks superb. It has great aesthetics and scenery.

    Y4y, d0wnl04d3d. Gamertag: D34DEYE. If you want tomorrow I can get some forgehubbers together and we can test out your map. I'm starting a forgethrough now.

    i really like ur layout. not even getting to the map yet. genius idea with ur weapon list. i might have to do the same for my upcoming map. and ur map looks really well geomerged. there r somethings that u could have saved time on and not done, but it just adds to the overall aesthetics

    You scared me for a second. I have a map with a similar name, and I thought someone stole it o_O. Anyway, this map has good potential, but needs more.

    I love the map and it looks very well forged. BUT, I think that you should have mentioned that you used some of it from MLG Aplified.

    It looks like you really put a ton of effort into this map. You have used all the little forge cliche's and you have smoothly geomerged many objects. Those overlook thingies look really cool. I don't really like the layout but you must have worked your ass off to make this. I don't care what anyone says, I still think it is just a bit too open...

    4.5/5 =)
    you have mastered geomerging and interlocking!

    Map theft has all but disappeared thanks to Bungie's new forum system. People can't get large amounts of recognition for stealing someone's map anymore. And if it happened here, we'd know about it immediately.

    Anyways, you have a great amount of potential here. Not many people post a map after 15 posts that uses advanced techniques like geo-merging. Your layout overall looks pretty solid, I'd expect one sided matches to be fun here. I'll have to see how well your spawn system works, as it can make or break a map....but it should be good for the most part.

    All I can really say right now is keep forging. What you've done so far looks great. The geometrical layout is still "foundry-ish", so for your next map you should try to break away from the more boxy style of layouts. Check out some of the featured maps to see what I mean. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw one of your maps there eventually. Keep up the great work!

    This map looks pretty good. You definitly have great interlocking and merging ideas. like the dbl box in the corner up high and the stair ladder. you are a great forger but the map does seem pretty open, You say it isnt as open as it seems but it seems pretty well open. Everything looks so good though. all the ledges going around and the interlocked box towers, It is all very well interlocked. I give 4/5. Would be 5/5 if it werent so open. Dont hate me its just my opinion.
