Arrival is a symmetrical map built in the quarry. This map can probably support 8 players at the absolute most. It is designed around two hangars, but is nothing like Anchor 9. (Now that I look at the first pic, I guess it kind of is) It has a rocket launcher, but is not as campable. I realize that the map is kind of small to support 2 mounted machine guns, but they don't respawn, so I think it will be ok. Currently only setup for slayer and team slayer. Once again, no hi-def pics. The map is in my fileshare.

Ahh, your maps always present a theme excellently. I'll take a look at it and come back with whatever feedback I can scrounge up.
I can't say the aesthetics are great, but they're certainly not bad. The map seems fairly small, though..I might have to check it out sometime. Nice use of the curved bridges, btw. I don't actually know the name of them at this particular point.
This is awsome ! The map reminds me Rat-nest , orbital and Anchor 9 all in one , a bit of Citadel too ! I like the way you used all your piece , very cool and smart .
Thank you. I didn't have a hangar theme in mind when I started this, it kind of just happened. I'll admit that when I forge I kind of just start placing pieces and see what happens. Feedback would be awesome. I don't have any friends that play customs, so I have to just guess how I think things would play without actually testing them. [br][/br]Edited by merge: The map is definitely on the smaller side, so I hope none of the weapons are too overpowering. It should lead to a lot of action. As for the curved bridges, I knew I needed more cover in that area but wanted to do more than just straight columns. I'm happy with how they turned out. Yes, the aesthetics aren't anything groundbreaking, but it is at least cleanly forged and I don't think anything really jumps out as being out of place. [br][/br]Edited by merge: Thank you. The Anchor 9 similarities are pretty obvious even though they weren't planned. As for my piece usage, things like the large walkway columns have certainly been done before but I though they worked well on this map. At this point in the game it's getting kind of hard to be original.
