    This is my first post, so I hope it ends up ok. The map is Isotope and is mainly for FFA, but is set up for Team Slayer, Oddball & KOTH. It's a small, oval shaped map with only Covenant weapons (see map description as to why).

    You have some decent looking structures/walls, but for the most part, it looks way too open and barren to really be that great. You should look into adding some substantial geometry around the map, and possible some differing levels of elevation. FFA doesn't work too well on just one plane.

    wow. I like how you have used the radio antennas, and put them to a good use asthetically wise. I wish I could download and play, but my halo is overloaded with maps, so I have to download later, when I find the time to delete some unnesecary maps. other than that, I had a few questions. One, is this map for 1v1, because having a sword and a hammer is kind of overpowering for a 1v1. I dont know. Could just be me, but that is my personnal opinion. I really think you should include a weapons list, and give a little more in-depth description for your map. Good Luck with your future maps! HAPPY FORGING!

    I love the radio antennas, and the overall ascetics but i have some suggestions. You could use a little block or something on the sides for some cover because it looks like you could just spawn kill. Also In the teleporting places is there anyway to get out of it? if not i would suggest adding a way out

    alright its a decent map but with no cover at all excpect bases ( a little) the antennas are cool but since theyre not solid objects and theyre merged with solid objects wouldn't it be whenever you touch them theyd go crazy...btw definition of isotope: Isotopes of an element have nuclei with the same number of protons (the same atomic number) but different numbers of neutrons. does your map have nething to do with this...no not aat all please this is not just a msg to you but everyone else with stupid map names that have nothing to do with the map. create a story about your map or have a theme to your map and name it after that...not isotopes...

    This is to address some of the issues -
    The map openness plays well with the size of map and there are bubble shields on both sides of the center structure where the map is most open. It plays best with 3-6 players on FFA or 2v2 and 3v3.
    The description I was talking about was the one on the dl screen and shows up on the right side of the screen when you're choosing the map you want to play...it reads..."A captured Covenant munitions plant yields the secret behind Covenant energy weapons." Could this secret be the Isotope the map is named for?! Perhaps Fruitista should have read this before spouting off!! Also for Fruitista, the antennae are NOT merged and will not go flying! They, however, can fall if hit with enough explosions, but should reset quickly (they never fell while playing, only in forge mode when I was testing the map). And no one cares about what maps you've made until you finish and post them.
    As for the sword and hammer, they aren't as powerful as you'd think on this map...they're nice to pick up and put in your pocket just in case, but mid range weapons are best here. Speaking of weapons....
