Congratulations on your contribution! This is a very nicely made map for someone so new. One thing I may suggest is setting up the map for more gametypes.

My Halo Reach Maps

Spoiler

Cave Way

 

The layout of this map works really well judging from the video. I wish I had some gameplay feedback but I don't have a group of players to start a party.
One thing that is disappointing (and it's not really your fault) is the dull gray objects throughout the map. Because everything is covered by objects (walls, floors, ceilings) it looks like it can be hard to find your way around a perfectly symmetrical map.

But once again, I think the layout & gameplay is where your map is going to shine. Aesthetics should always come last. I have a feeling your map will prove to play really well on a competitive stand point. The best way to tell the quality of your map is just having lots of testing on it. After players have had games on it a few times, they probably won't be confused at all of where they are on the map.

I would recommend people to play this map and give it a chance. I'd love to hear what people would say after playing with a full group-- lots of fun and balanced I predict.

 

I agree with PeteTacular. You might want to get your thumbnail working though or many people might pass over even checking your map's thread out. To get a thumbnail to appear on the preview page, click edit @ the bottom of your initial post, click "go advanced." You'll see an input area for your thumbnail just above the main body of text for your thread. In this space, copy and paste the link from one of the images in the main body of the thread, but be sure to omit the parts at the beginning and end. Click save @ the bottom and your thumbnail will show up in the preview page.

I might suggest creating another picture, though, the ones you are showing, while informative of layout etc., don't really draw the viewer into your map. It was your video that really made me interested in your map. For people just browsing through the preview page, though, you will need an image which will capture their interest quickly by identifying the map as something they need to see more of.

I'm not sure what that image should be because your map is very much function over aesthetics (in a good way). Because of that, though, you run into the completely blue/gray feeling of most maps. You need to find any view that somehow conveys something dynamic. Perhaps find your favorite view, then capture a few spartans running through it.

 

You may also want to post a new thumbnail without wording and photoshop effects. I just got a warning today for doing so on a map I posted a week ago. They said it's a new policy.
