    Map Description:
    This is a symmetrical map that is best played with 4v4 Team Slayer. This is only the third map I've posted here, but it's around the 20th map I've created. I feel like it is one of my better symmetrical maps, which is why I'm actually posting it.

    The "floating crates" are suppose to give it a sort of loss of gravity feel.

    This map looks interesting and I see that you had a lot of ideas you wanted to incorporate into this map. The problems I do spot are the fact that it looks a little cramped like you were try to fit lots of things into a small confined area I also see that you have the sword on fixed and I will tell this now FIXED WEAPONS ARE BAD because after people die the weapons just sit there floating in mid air an because fixed and phased become solid objects that cause people to stop when they run into them instead of being able to just run through them. Besides that great job

    the sword isnt on fixed. I just put it so that it is standing up when it spawns. the physics are on normal. I myself did not feel as if it was crowded at all. Did you walk around it at all, or are you just going off of the pictures?

    this map looks very good, but I suggest that you put railings on the side of the zipline, because It looks a little strange right now, and maybe put a little bit of decorations at the energy sword place, because it looks weird just somehow standing upright in the very middle. Also move or delete the plasma grenades next to the energy sword, because whoever gets there first will have an energy sword and plasma grenades, which is pretty unfair. Those are just some minor things to change, but other than that it's great.

    Looks interesting. Screen one is gorgeous looking, despite the fact that I hate those 45* corner pieces in the ceiling. Screen two however looks cramped to all hell. The zipline in screen three is probably unnecesary, and gimicks like that are often a pain in the arse for gameplay. Screens 4 and 5 look gorgeous again, but screen 6 shows windows! Ahhhhhh! Unbreakable glass is horrid for gameplay, and those pieces are extremely taxing on framerate.
    Would it be possible for you to knock out the roof to take a bird's eye view screen shot? Would be much appreciated.

    WOW! Now thats a map that I play with my friends unstop, like 24/7. I absolutly liked the zip-line idea to across to the other side of the map. I'm imaging me, on the zip-line killing people on my way down to the other side. I know that the energy sword wasn't on fixed because I tried it before and with the gravity hammer and those two weapons can stand on their bottoms. I liked the zero gravity in picture number #2 cause as you said the feel of it. You've done an excellent job making this map. I'll definitely download this map. - EpICx ReMiX XD

    Ok so I just edited it. Got the plasma grenade out of the way (didn't even realize it was there), fixed the zip line so that it had railings, which is an excellent idea btw, and I put up a view from above without the roof. Also, I feel that if you haven't downloaded it to check it out, please do not say its cramped. I do not feel as if there was much cramping whatsoever in the map, but the photos do seem to make it look that way. Thanks for all the feedback so far! Constructive criticism is appreciated =D

    I am sorry at first when I posted and I was just going off of the pics which do make it look cramped but now that I DL I can see that it is not cramped at all it but there are a lot of textures added into the map with all the different blocks. Besides that this is an amazing map.

    Thanks for the download. But yea, I should probably put up different pics, they do make it look cramped. I just hope people give it a chance before saying no because of the pics because this is one of my favorite maps i've made.
