    9&3/4 isn't 1/2 this good...

    "The Covenant were sure to destroy all major forms of infrastructure but somehow missed this this little station. 2-8 players."

    I think if you turned Longest/Elongation inside out, this is what you would end up with. This is a small symmetrical map that has a great blend of artistic architecture and nature with great mid-range and close-quarters gameplay.

    Supports all game modes/team colors, save for race and invasion.

    I've got to say, that rock pond is freakin awesome! I have never seen a good use of stairs until this, and I like how they blend the natural and man made parts togrther. Great job on this map, it looks really good!

    The water and steps adds huge aesthetic value to this map. Awesome idea!

    The rest of the map is also well done. Gameplay is a little bit crowded, but I think that's partially just the nature of this type of map.

    Also, the rest of the map may not fit too well with the pond/steps, visually speaking. But don't get rid of the water and steps-- maybe try to add tiny details to the rest of the map to tie it all together!

    Great job.

    I started to encounter framerate issues when looking down the length of the map so i tried to use as little objects as possible yet still make the map feel like a train station with futuristic architecture. I feel that the ponds add a little contrast to the majority of the map.

    Great stair idea it looks great but apart from that my only criticism is the map looks slightly cramped in. Still good job.
