    Looks solid and pretty interesting. An a bit different arena. It's not completely square and it's not an onslaught clone.

    Tai, se näyta ihan hyvältä ja aika kinostava. Nah, I don't know Finnish very well. 'cause you are Finnish, right? I think your name means something like fish stick, or fish knife.
    Am I wrong?

    But yeah, go post this on the MLG forums, if it's even an MLG map. I think some people might like it, or at least you're very likely to get some more substantial feedback.

    Oh, and the wall pieces, appart from the wall coliseum, are pretty bad for the framerate. As are the ramp steeps, as they too have lights.

    Damn it. Took my map name.

    It does look pretty nice aesthetically, but it seems there isn't much cover on the map. Maybe adding some more cover could benefit the map.

    What a breath of fresh air! Maps like this is why I haven't given up on symmetrical designs. Looks like a great map for 1v1-4v4.

    Definitely should post this on MLGpro.

    The lazy cover at green side should be replaced by structural cover.

    Judging from the pictures the cover by the green side looks a bit lazy like xzamplez had previously commented on. Also, the rocks in the center seem out of place. They are just sticking through metal which looks a little weird. I would place grass around them or do something to make where they are placed feel a bit more natural, or you could just substitute it for structural cover.

    Simple, neat, clean, and a nice example of a mlg arena style map, I to feel as if something better could be created to make the map stand out besides the rocks. Now if this was made in say the quarry, then Id feel the rocks were appropriate but right now they seem more like a eye sore and take away from the theme, which to me is mechanical, electric, going by the name? This has potential, I'd just add some more color to it, and come up with a nice decorative cover item to replace the rocks. I also feel the line of sights should be trimmed with more cover around the side of the bases, right now its a bit open and doesnt provide much breathing room if your taking fire.

    Otherwise a good start and I hope you work on bringing out its potential as a design. Simple designs like this make me miss forging mlg maps on my past time lol, instead ive gotten into these whack assymetrical nightmares I create :p. Keep up the forging :), how much testing has this gotten if I may ask?

    I have tested this map a lot with my xbl friends and it works fine with 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4. I`ve put updates to this map. I`ve replaced the rocks with 1x4 blocks sinked to the ground.
    i have changed the side bases. next to the ramp to top mid there are better cover now. on the "green side" i replaced the little covers where the dmr´s are with bigger covers

    yeah and thanks for the comment!
