    You totally stole my idea!

    Nah I'm just kidding. This map looks very gorgeous. Everything looks clean and smooth.

    Congrats!

    And yeah I created a map just like this! But I lost it because of the save glitch on Reach.

    Nice use of space. It definitely gives off a forerunner vibe (I can't believe I just said that...). Anyway I would like to say that the aesthetics look very good. I'm not too much of a fan of the prefab bases but that's your call.

    Keep working on it, it definitely has some good potential.

    I'd give it a solid 6.5/10 nice job!

    Oh I see that you have it set for a custom gametype; you should make sure you put the download link up for people that want it.

    So I was open minded about this map and then I initial spawned facing a post and went into full hate mode. I wandered around pissed about everything but then found myself thinking oh that's nice, cool, very clean, so I'll start again from there.

    I'm going to be hyper critical with my opinions because I feel this is a very clean, attractive, playable map. With some of my points I really can't offer a workable solution. Please keep in mind I am UT/Quake styled Classic Slayer player. From that perspective I see no want or desire to return to team spawn points as there is nothing for me over there.(loss of map coverage) You have a minor Z fighting on the middle center deck.

    Now here's where I'm unnecessarily irritated for no apparent reason. I like the look of the boxes on the lower middle level. I however hate hopping 3-4 times to get on a ledge that is supposed to be an official walkway, or is it? I mean it must be because it has a proper bridge that enters a room that only has one way in and out and yet that ledge is virtually closed off from the opposing edge. See my problem lies in that you made the map too real for me. So now when I'm doing something that doesn't seem natural I'm all, "why the hell am I risking getting killed while hoping to get to a public walkway." I don't know a solution because it kills the asthetics. I had thought ramp or stairs instead of blocks, or remove the end bridges, but I'm not happy with either so I think I'll just use my frustration for killing unless you come up with some magic.

    Lastly the nasty massive checkered shield we all love to hate. I know it's purpose and I understand but I still feel there could have been a better solution. I was thinking more colosium walls but you used the damn things up. I thought large braces as walls or flooring but it may not look all that great. The best I could come up with was using spires. Either a jagged spire/sea stack floor or my favorite, if it ends up well, is a sea stack hole with sparse spires in the water at the bottom. A third more complicated and yet not necessarily better was a series of multileveled structures at the bottom of the pit. Either like multileveled cracked flooring or like a small town. Could be cool or crap.

    No matter what you do this seems like it will be a good addition to the play list.

    Thanks,
    Preacher001

    Edited by merge:


    @Legacy of Mercy, I don't think prefab base issues apply here as they are modified enough that they don't give the feel of the standard structures. Everything feels more unique to this map and not just another rehash.

    I forgot to mention that it would have been nice to have a some kind of minor differance between the drop down and canon manned holes. It's easy to get them mixed when you don't play it regularly.

    I was also thinking a columb on the left side of the opposing centered bases top floors. Left side of the rail gap. Since we're right handed it would be nice to peek out from the left instead of poking out head first from the wall on the right. But then maybe it keeps them sniper guys honest ;)
