2-8 player map. Has sword and sniper with mlg drop spawn and times. Works for many gametypes. Mostly 2 levels with 2 attics. Long hallways and a mix of open room/tight spaces makes interesting dmr battles.
I just ran through the map alone and noticed two things. There are a lot of places where the map looks messy due to poor choice of objects and sloppy merging. That combined with the lighting of the coliseum and cramped spaces on the map make it difficult to figure out where you are and where you're going. The layout of the map also has serious issues, with dead ends and the use of teleporters. The use of pyramids for one room was unique but in game it didn't look very good and made it sort of like a hall of mirrors that did not improve player orientation at all.
If you give me specific locations I would be happy to see what I can do with them. [br][/br]Edited by merge: The poor choice of objects/sloppy merging/cramped spaces, I mean. The dead end attic and the teleporter from the cave to green attic are staying. Were you talking about the sword room when you said dead end? It's my preference for this map to not have two ways in and out of every single room. I played some customs on it and it played well. Nobody got stuck in a dead end. I guess the green attic is kinda cramped? Maybe the basement? [br][/br]Edited by merge: Anybody else have an opinion? I'd like to know what someone who actually plays competitively thinks. Thanks!

I haven't downloaded the map, so I won't give you feedback on gameplay. But it seems to be a functional layout. And I will say that I like the purple covenant theme, almost similar to zealot or penance. will download when I get on the laptop.
i was able to play this map and i have to agree with pyro that the merging was bad but don't give up. When i put my first map on they gave me a hard time. The bad comments can make u a better forger so don't take it personal. I'm new at this too so keep forging and my comments to your map is to give your map more of a flow and a smoother game play. i just added a new map of my own today would love to hear your comments about it good or bad cause it would help me become a better forger as well its called bioshelter.
That's cool, but I kinda need specifics. I don't really know what you guys are talking about when you say sloppy merging. There's no overlapping textures or anything like that. I don't see anything on the map that isn't meant to be in the playable area. I actually took a quick look at the bioshelter page before I even came here. It looks cool but I won't be able to play it till tonight.
