what's your gamertag

 

I love the terrain in addition to the aesthetics. It reminds me a little bit of Daybreak in Halo 4.

 

Terrain looks very natural! The covi structures also look very unique might I add. I'll check it out in a few hours after I get home. Any plans for what's next on your forging list?

 

I took a walk through both this map and Resolute. I see some strong similarities between the two design wise, and I have a couple of suggestions based on those similarities.

First, both maps consist of a towering center structure with outer paths circling around it. This is definitely a design approach that can work. What I would focus on is trying to create connections between the inner and outer sections of the map. They're largely disconnected at the moment. In general, this kind of layout results in games where players largely stick to the outer routes (the dreaded 'doughnut' effect that forgers sometime talk about). Try to make the inner and outer structures connect in multiple places, and at several different elevations.

The other thing I'm seeing on both maps is that they're relatively flat. There are certainly changes in elevation (there's plenty of distance between the lower and upper levels of the map). What's missing is the subtle height variations that help make for interesting gunfights. I'll point directly to the out paths - they wrap around, without changing elevation at all.
If your maps were handed off to me to do whatever I wanted, the first thing I would focus on is adding variety to your paths; add raises and/or drops in elevation, break up the flow of those paths (have them jut in towards the center, or out away from the center in some areas, force players to drop down or jump up to a different level to continue moving in the same direction.)

Variation in your pathing/structural geometry will keep the map playing fresh rather than getting repetitive.

I also want to recognize the fact that you have a strong grasp on aesthetics. You've created strong themes in both maps, and your forging (how you fit your pieces together) is rock solid.

Hopefully my suggestions make sense. If they don't, let me know and I'll try to clarify further.
