Dude! I've been bumping around the idea of an asian themed map for a while now, but it never looks good when I try to put pen to paper. I've even considered remaking one of the asian maps from UT3, but then I think about my own remake and say helllll nooo!!! So glad to see this up here. I hope it inspires more maps like this.

 

Given that I have not played the map my opinions are solely based off of the pictures presented. The map itself has solid geometry but I feel like it needs more structure. By that I mean a few of the buildings don't have much to them and would not encourage movement to them. Another issuse I could see is the lack of cover or LOS breakers in between those structures which would then cause standoff like situations. What I mean by that is people shooting at each other building to building rather than moving around the map and adding to a more interesting style of gameplay. That's not to say the map is bad I believe that this map can be very good given the right changes. Your aesthetics are nice and I'm sure you can come up with something cool keep up the good work. -PneumoniK

 

If you ever wanna talk just message me over Xbox and we can discuss ideas.

 

What is your GT to get the map?

 

Finally, you posted your GT.

Beautiful map but for some reason that has come at a cost. Frame dropping/judder, what ever it's called, was very prevalent when I looked at the map in slayer. I'm not saying this happens on every XB1 but it happened on mine.

If I look at the main structure from across the map and Pan the scene, the image jumps like crazy. Same thing used to happen in previous Halo maps if they were overbuilt. I jumped down behind some rocks and did the same Pan and it was smooth. I draw the conclusion some areas of the map are overbuilt.

When I looked at the map in Forge, I noticed the frame jumpiness wasn't so bad until I baked the lighting. I noticed your object count at 1022 and lighting at 180%. Maybe reducing the number of objects with "bake lights" on could help.

I wouldn't have bothered posting anything if I hadn't wanted to play on this map with my friends. It looks so good.

 

Have you tried refining the light lengths, widths and how many lights display next to each other. I shut off half my lights that were side by side to reduce frame stutter, but kept the lights for aesthetics. Worked like a charm.

 

I brought a large group onto the map for a quick look. They all liked the look of it. If the frame stutter can be fixed, we'd love to play on it.
