    fantastic just downloaded i love the way you have to decide wheather to shot someone or to watch where you are jumping, makes for good game play.
    one suggestion would be dont have the laser and the missile pod together maybe just one on each side. other than that 4/5

    not exactly the most creative idea but still a fun one this map looks epic for king of the hill also there should be a room or something in the center and the bases other wise the air vehicles will kill everyone when the laser runs out of ammo 4/5

    Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. I could probably go in and change the respawn times a little bit to at least help solve this possible problem.

    Thanks for the feedback! I somewhat agree with your missile pod idea. I'm going to be having my map tested this weekend, so if I notice any imbalance, i'll probably either remove the missile pod or delete one and move the remaining one elsewhere, or something to that extent.

    Actually, from the few games I have tested on this map, I have noticed that the middle is barely even used for combat, and that's still not even true for Valhalla. Then again, this is just purely based on opinion, and thank you for giving me one, good or bad.

    this is kinda cool but wouldn't the air vehicles control the map? Sure there is weapons to kill them but i dont think you could reach them! haha

    I like the idea 3/5

    i think maybe lose some of the weapons and make the mid accesible by jump then it would be nice 6/10

    The only problem with that is that if I were to make the mid-platform accessible by jumping, I would have to lower the height of it, therefore allowing both sides to spawn kill each other from their respective bases.

    Well, you could always just make steps that lead up to it from both sides, if possible. It looks like you used a lot of pieces, I doubt you have any pieces left from the item limit. Anyways, this is overall a decent map, I'll give it a 3/5 for now, and a DL later.

    First off, thanks for the download! And about your suggestion, I have tried, but unfortunately, the object limit prevents me from going any further...[sad face]

    i have just played it for a bit.
    i think with my last comment i said about to much power that it needs that still so leave the laser and other rocket thing
    ...
    but i went on forge and added shealter in the middle with one sniper n the middle and a little sheater at each base where you spawn.
    and once i did this i felt like there was better gameplay.
    but good luck with any changes as you have used the item limit.

    Well, once I get a new xbox, I'll have to work on a version 3 with that in mind. Thanks for the feedback!
