    Flexure is an assymetric BTB map on the mid level of sandbox. I've been working on this map for a while and after many testing sessions I think I'm finally finished. Flexure is intended for one-sided objectives but does work well for multi flag and neutural assualt. The map is set up for every gametype and all except territories played very well and since I got rid of the killballs I've had no little to no complaints, all that have tested the map enjoyed every minute of it.

    Download links aren't working, probably because you posted this with different bbcodes on another sight and just copied and pasted it. Please update the links and also your rendered film isn't working so you may also want to update that.

    The map looks really good from the pictures and I wil give more feedback once I see the map in forge itself..... Ill check back later for a updated download link

    This looks like it took you a while. I'm liking the unique structures you've put in here(especially the Defenders' Base), and gameplay looks promising. I'll have to download this and get a few games on here later. I'll type up a gameplay review after I play every gametype on here(except Territories, which you said was bad).

    Wow, this looks great!

    Pros:
    Nice Red Base, Looks Very Nice.
    Nice Blue Base too. very cool.
    Nice Geomerging. I know how hard it is to Geomerge on Sandbox and i must say the Merging is better than anything i was ever able to do
    Good Interlocking.
    Nice Weapon List, Looks even to me
    Two Prowlers, Two Banshees. Nice and Even...
    Looks Smooth from what i can see

    Cons:
    Dang, I Can't find anything wrong with this map



    Overall: 5/5 from me
    Good work.

    Same for me. You should probably try taking the video down and putting it back up. That could fix it, but I dunno.

    Amazing map I love the geomerging that you have done to the map. I like how you made this a map for asymetric gametypes it seems that it works very well, it is a deffinant download from me. Good Job and keep forging.

    About time we got another quality Sandbox BTB map! I love the Banshee so seeing it finally be used has already grabbed my attention, along with your shmexy geomerges. I will download and hopefully be able to add this to my compilation of the greatest custom BTB variants.

    it doesn't look like the banshees would be of much use though, not too open

    Pretty cool. Lots of unique structures that look good. Kinda reminds me of Utah Mambo, but a more close-quarters version kinda.

    Finally, nice to see a very multileveled map that seems to actually fit for a big team battle experience. I will DL and look forward to play testing this map.

    *this isn't a comment for the map*

    Since Bungie's redesign, there have been some issues for me. Some links say an error. Just refresh the page and it should work.

    Glad to see you removed the killballs. The map looks much better without them. I really like your structures, especially the red base and testing this map was very fun. I especially like the way your structures give off the feel of a city, or at least, that's how I felt when I played it. Also, the use of Prowler's and Banshee's over the standard Hornet's and Warthog's are a very nice twist to the gameplay. One thing that I would do is replace the Rockets with a Ghost or Chopper and put a 0 clip Rocket Launcher at each base. It gives a little extra something to counter vehicles with in case you are out of the Missle Pod and the opposing team has the Laser. It's not a change that has to be implemented because the map plays well as is, but I think a Ghost or Chopper could add a little something to the gameplay.

    Overall, great job. You have nice structures and great gameplay to back it up.

    Thanks and I actually wanted ghosts on the map but it's too much $$$ unfortunately. But I enjoy the gameplay as is. I still wish that I could've added ghosts to the map though....

    I just ran through the map and it was even more impressive than it looked in the pics, which is something I don't get to say very often :)

    After looking at vehicle and weapon placement, everything looks to be up to scratch. Only thing I would add would be a Mongoose for each base.

    When i see maps like this i just feel like ****, my unuploaded maps suck compared to this! I love the asthetics and design and it has a distinctive feeling to it.
    I would love to see more screenshots

    It's obvious this guy doesn't see quality when quality is magnificiantly (spelling?) displayed.

    After testing this map countless times, pre-launch and resently redownloading, I've got to say that the overall gameplay balance and the general look keeps me wanting more. The fact that this can support 16 players is a big plus for me since I sometimes have large parties and no
    Maps to custom it up on.

    Can't believe I didn't download this when it first came out EDIT: My computer was broken.

    A very late but well deserved 5/5
