    Map Style:floating; avalanche; cliff
    Map Name Preferences: cliff or fall to certain death
    Map Quality Named After: Rather CQB floating map over the avalanche cliff. (Outside) Asymetric
    Map Name Meaning: cliff; overhang; death fall related land form
    Map Description: Floating asymmetric map over the avalanche cliff. Many different combinations of elevations and angles.

    Thanks to anybody who helps. Do not suggest chasm or crevice seeing as they are too bland or already used.

    Map names I have thought of.

    Escarpment
    crevice (not using)

    ~forgegod117~

    Ohhhh. and a wall is complertely forcing people away from standing on snow so you might be able to add that to the theme.

    Sorry for no pictues but i have RROD!!!

    Thanks for these. I really like the fear of snow one. i might still use escarpment though.

    If people have anything else to add feel free to through it in there. Thanks to what's a scope for an incredibly sucessful thread. and anybody who helped.

    cheimatophobia (Fear of cold)
    I found out another one. I still like the fear of snow better though.

    Index (One word name/ sounds great)
    Catapedaphobia (Fear of jumping/ Depends on the style of this map)
    Savage (relating to brute behavior)
    Fist of Rukt (Name of tartuasus gravity hammer)
    Tarturas (Not a bad name itself)
    Joust (quick and agile behavior)
    Tombstone (just throwing cool names out)
    Dynamism (Quick or sudden change of an object)

    You should maybe open your theme up to forerunner. That i what the architecture on the platforms is actually.

    Not to bump, but...I'm probably finished with my map in a week or two, and still need a name.

    Map Style: MLG and Competitive (two versions)

    Map Name Preferences: I'd prefer one word, kind of similar to the MLG Hopper names. This really needs to be catchy. I don't want to end up saying "Well, my maps are blah, blah, and Vertabrille"...that name just doesn't catch to me. Look at maps that have gotten into matchmaking, are popular, or so on. Also, one version will probably have 'MLG' plopped in front, so remember that. Make it catchy.

    Map Quality Named After: Curves and good architecture Towering structures, lines of sight, flow, the large hill in the middle of the map, unusual setups.

    Map Name Meaning:

    Map Description: 6-base MLG and competitive map with many curves towering structures and a large hill/tunnel system in the middle. The map is designed around lines of sight and flow, and goes to some extents not seen before on an MLG map on Foundry (to my knowledge), such as geomerging halfway through the back rooms for a "wing teleporter"

    Suggestions: Proscenium, Tympanum, Trellis, Fluid, Vile, Ambit, Bell Curve, Curve, Curvation, Curvature, Circulate, Circulation, Helix, Hyperbola, Meniscus, Sinuosity, SINuosity, Convex, Adit, Slope, Tube, Summit, Ascent, Protuberance, Tumor, Credence, Conundrum, Lucidity, Flexure, Smooth, Ride, Drivel, Valley, Sanded, Crine, Instance, Snipedown, MLGangsta, Craze, Haze, Hectic, Haptic, Zion, Icon, Iconic, Ion, Ionic, Irony, Ironic, Chrome, Excel, Exile, Dusk, Vector I didn't really love any of these...:/

    Those aren't bad. I was thinking of 'Exalted' before, but it's not really what I thought it was when I looked it up, lol. The more the better, me and Toppum will be deciding between us. I really want it to get the feel of the map, I think this map is really good.

    Hex means six, so you could play off that prefix since is a 6 base. You could go with:

    Hex
    Hexagram
    Hexiad
    Hexic
    Hexotic
    Hexified

    IMO, MLG Hex sounds the coolest short and sweet. The others sound weird for some reason.

    I don't really want to focus on the 6 baseness too much (though I will bounce them off Toppum), because some of the bases are very small and some are very large, some are used alot and some not so much.

    Well I haven't even seen the map so I can't really say much. I heard a lot about it though when I was playing on Phreakie's new map. Maybe focus the name on the tunnel system in the hill then?

    I'll put some pictures up when I get a chance, or message me tomorrow and I'll invite you if it's open.

    Apparently people are saving the games and playing with their friends, and are playing old versions then obviously...which is not a good thing. So yeah, if you want to play, just send me an XBL message, I'll invite you, as long as you don't save it. I don't have a problem with you checking out the map, but I just don't want it to get stolen or people think their playing a finished version.

    The tunnel system is probably one of the lesser importances. The hill itself is probably the most unique thing on it, and definately the piece that attracts a whole lot of attention.
