    Just DL'd. not a single complaint. I looked at it in forge and almost shat myself when i notices that you had almost 400 credits left to build with.

    very impressive

    I did a few run arounds on this earlier. My only complaint would be the picture to actual size comparison. The opening space was much smaller than I had expected. Other than that, I love the hallway areas.

    And I don't know if intentional, but the teleporters are facing the walls or far left.

    So what I'm wondering is how did you phase the cylinder staircase so that there is no ground and just an underground tunnel? Whenever I phase it it leaves the grass part in the middle and no hole=(

    You make some very good points, and I agree completely. Those dumb raised platforms are a real nuisance for me, they look really bad if they are any lower then they are right now. The z fighting needs to go I think. I Really want to update it and fix this stuff, I just have to find out how to do that. Do you know if you can fix stuff then upload and replace a map that's on your file share? I don't really want to have to fix all the links and lose my download count.


    Hmm I'll look at the telaporters, and try to fix them.

    Gave this a quick look through on forge, and i dont have a single complaint. The pit in the middle is amazing looking, as well as the grass. Very great map, aesthetically and game play wise.

    Lol, I just made a crazy tall tower pit thing then used the golf holes for grass around the pit. I didn't use any grass from the real map. Go into forge on my map and delete some stuff so you can see how I did it.

    Ohh... I can't believe I didn't see that before. So you made your map in the sky with the tower going down towards the ground.

    Hey Sqorck, downloaded your map the other night, looks and feels great, really like the way you used the bunker box for a view into the backs of the maps. I know for this map it was unavoidable but the only downside, and its small, is the z-fighting for the upper platforms in the circle. And although unique I thought the power-up over the pit with plasma coils was a detractor...totally opinion though, I am sure it is a love or hate feature.

    played a 7man FFA last night on this during customs,
    it was chaotic in the best way possible!

    Lots of fun, the center area caters to jetpackers and other players leaping between levels using the gravlifts, and it turns into a lot of crazy fast paced battles.
    The multi level center room also allows players to escape from a battle relatively quick and in any direction also.

    We felt that the shotties were slightly too dominant. I was probably 10 points behind the lead until i grabbed shotty and did some sneakyness in the outer hallways. Ammo clips possibly could be dropped down to 0 ?

    Totally awesome map though. I love circles. Unfortunately i did experience some lag when in the center area, but this was on V1, havent played the V2 yet. I dont think its a map-wrecking level of lag though..

    Anyways, awesome. good job.

    Glad you liked it, every time we play swat or ffa it gets so crazy. V2 has a lot of fixes including hopefully the lag, I would really suggest downloading it and testing it out. Thanks for all your feedback
