    This is my first map here on forgehub, so i hope you'll all bear with me as i try and insert pictures.
    _____________________________________________
    This map has a story, as will most of my maps. This story is that there was a battalion of troops sent to take out a Brute outpost, during the Assault on the Ark. When the weather got incredibly bad, the commanding ships believed them to be dead. However, the soldiers still believed that command was going to return back to rescue them. Eventually some soldiers realized that they were going to never be rescued, and started a rebellion.
    ________________________________________________
    This is their story, the environment itself seems to be full of their gloomy emotions.
    This map is symmetrical, and supports CTF, Slayer, and Assault.
    Both bases are the same, with an armory below, teleporters to two floating vehicle platforms, two ramps with a mongoose ghost and warthog, and two turrets per base. The equipment on the map is two trip mines, two power drainers, and two grav lifts. There are two sniper rifles on the map in corresponding spots, two brute shots, two rocket launchers, and two fuel rod cannons. also on the map are several spikers, BR's, two assault rifles, and several SMG's. There are two scorpion tanks positioned opposite each other, for bombarding enemies trying to enter the base. they are prevented from firing upon one another by a double box blocking their view of each other. There are two Hornets, one on each side for a variety of uses. i have left the objective spots in relatively the same positions. Without further ado, i present the pictures

    Sniper spot(symmetrical so only one)

    Spartan Laser Spawn

    Armory(Same for both bases)

    Please note that these pictures are without the gloomy effect, the real map is much darker and you should take that into consideration when playing and downloading.

    Please play the map with these gametypes. The idea is that when a player first "arrives" they are still warm, and can move much faster and are tougher. So they have different settings when they respawn. Also, due to the frigid cold their armor systems have a delay and their shields respawn slower. They also have a lower damage resistance due to the cold sapping their strength. They are faster however, due to their army training.
    I hope you all enjoy this, my first map.

    Looks too simple. And you said asymmetric but everything is the same for each team? I also extremely dislike armories.

    Oh alright lol. Then it's not much or an armory. So i guess it looks decent for your first map. Be sure to read Forging 101 and look at other users' maps for good forging techniques and ideas.

    for your first post this is pretty good
    you have pictures, a description, and comments giving you constructive critacism

    the map it kinda dull, it could use a few more things, but i can tell your going for a big team slayer battle which is what avalanche is best for, nice job and keep posting new maps

    no offense but it just looks like you put different weapons on avalanche, you need to add something to make it special

    eh i didn't think that the map could do with any change. its a well made map geometrically, i just felt that some things might be better like this.
