Hey Squidkake! Congrats on your first Reach map! Here are some constructive criticisms you may choose to utilize: I like the way you're working with the differing height on this map; my only issue is, if different levels of play are your focus, why have long, drawn-out walkways? If someone doesn't have a jetpack, they'll never get near those walkways because they're deathtraps...nowhere to go if they are attacked? A great map has lots of locations that everyone flocks to, where enemies battle for ground. Any other place should either be a way to GET to the focal points, or simply should be taken out. If you're using the walkways to get to different heights, consider using either teleports or, even better, mancannons! Not only are they fun to go off, they tell others on the map where you are, which in turn creates more conflicts. Conflicts, while sucky in real life, are why people play Halo...they like to fight! I think you've got some interesting ideas, and it looks like Ascension was an inspiration for this map. Consider adding some of your own original ideas to it...maybe a floating island accessible only by teleporter or mancannon? Walkways that have gaps in the middle, requiring jumping or jetpacking? Keep it fresh, keep it new! I'm glad you're interested in Forging, but try examining a few of the best maps (maybe some of the one's that won the recent Best of Forge) and see why they're so darn good...check out their interesting geometry, different ideas and approaches, and attention to detail. You'll get there, keep it up!!!
Wow... The name, is just so... familiar. I just can't place it though. Anyways, its a decent first map, doesn't really look like anything special. It looks like the original Pinnacle rock with random 'U' shaped walkways tacked on. I was also noticing in the middle pic, some of your bridges aren't lined up correctly. There are bumps between almost every block. Well, I guess I'll have to rename my remake for Reach...
****ing lol'd. Anyway, the mountain in the middle looks thrown together, as does the rest of the map. Maybe take some time just to smooth out the many bumps and such for a v2.
