    I love the chute! I'm not usually a very enthusiastic person towards ATC/DEF maps with ten billion different locations (exaggeration), but I am sure this will play very good.

    This looks like a very good map. I personally love the sniper tower. It is amazing.

    Looks very professional, and well forged. Love the attacking sniper tower. Is there a teleporter that takes you up there?

    geez! this map the best overall looking one on avalanche! I know it must have been hard geo-merging those objects into the ground lol so props to you for that :) and the way the map is set up makes it look like it will have great gameplay. And like ppl have said the tunnels look awesome good job on those...... theres just one problem with this map.... I DONT HAVE THE NEW MAPS YET LOLZ! Argh so i cant DL but when i get them this one is on the "go back n git em" list :)

    Wow. like what 80% of this is merged and about 100% is interlocked. That is impressive.

    This looks great, can't wait to play it. Another stream of dank maps from Lights. nice rice.

    Wow...! I usually don't go for Avalanche maps, most of the time because they lack origniality and creativity. But, I was very pleasantly surprised to see this was not another Ice Cave map. I just can't wait to play this. There are definately some unique ideas implemented in this, showing an obvious use of thought and effort, and most of all mastery of forge. I love that little curved chute that takes you up, and the bridges off the edge of the cliff... genius. And the sniper placement looks great! I have this one q'ued... epic win.

    i like the geomerging into the snow. it makes walking around smoother and also adds an aesthetic touch kind of.

    I dare anyone to find a better asymmetrical competitive map on avalanche. There is so much strategy to this map and the i know lightouts has spend a long time tweaking the balanced of each side. A must have for any legendary map pack owner.

    Man, this map is a long time comin!! But clearly worth the effort. Even if overloading the mancannons was a *****! But hey,we got it done, well, you got it done and I stayed far away so as to not trip the mines lol.
    Anyways, as usual Lights, very impressive work. And I love the theme you have going with Heatwave and now Coldfront. Now you just have to create Lukewarm lol.

    YEAH! you finally posted it. I love helping you test the map and I'm glad to see that you fix the flag camping spot in the defense base. the Mario tubes are awesome and the over all feel of the map is great. Finally something fresh and exciting.

    WE HAZ A WINNA! Congratulations, you have created the best Avalanche map that's not a ship or a robot or something like that. The aesthetics in the map look astounding. The merging actually looks like the objects are covered and snow and are part of the original map. Awesome job.

    oh you would say that Ivory! lol but yeh fun times then, even more fun times to come soon

    Appreciate it Squid. Seeing as you havent played Heatwave yet either, i propose a LIGHTSOUT weather-themed map extravaganza soon. lol whatdya think?

    I have no idea what this BF2 is.. but rest assured i had the map titled basically since the legendary maps released


    Thanks guys. There is a teleporter past the large mancannon that takes you up there. The tele is merged into the snow ground a bit so that i could fit it snugly in that corner and have it not at some awkwardly ridiculous angle

    More like 95% merged. There's 2 immovable objects (and 2 only) touching the map's geometry that aren't merged with it. Kudos to those who find them (energy blockers don't count)

    Pay attention to the forerunner style in the default bungie maps, and then try and mimic it a bit.. and have patience.

    Thanks a lot! A lot of it was unecessary, but I did it because it adds to the overall atmosphere of the map, making it seem more natural and authentic. Each of the boxes used on the bottom rows blocking off the map have even been merged a bit with the ground. I really love the snow-covered look. The bridges are probably my favorite



    Thanks a lot for the kid words guys, it certainly makes it all worth it. Looking forward to more feedback after some matches have been logged.

    The forging looks superb, and the game play seems to be as well, from what I read. Can't wait to Dl.

    That's exactly what I was thinking, and I love it!

    This map sucks! Its a new map so in order to make it good you need to add every filter!

    I like the mario tunnel, thats what everyone started calling it lol. I hated the ghosts though, theyd fly in out of nowhere and rape me
