    Aha! So here we are at another map =]
    This map looks like it's providing another number towards the list of arena styled maps that Halo3 is seriously laking in and it looks to me like you did a pretty darn good job of it. From the smooth side pathways to the interlocked staircases this map seems to work effectively while keeping up appearances.

    Though I have not played this map specifically I can see it working very well with enough cover to keep you alive but not so much that it comes down to a camping situation. Having the lower path creates excellent cover to protect yourself while also leaving open the option of being pummeled by a grenade.

    Now the only things I can see in this map that could do with some tweaking is the two staircases forming that high bridge, they seem a bit uneven in the pictures. Also the shield in the first picture would look a lot better if it was lowered so you can not see the stand (Merge it with the double box).

    One potential problem I see with this map, however, is getting out of it. Gravity Hammer and grenades or just a tricky person. Have you tested to see if it's escapable?

    And to be honest I can't think of much more to say. This map has what I would call a basic layout but seems to pull it off quite well. This looks to me like a definite download and... well... When I get my box back this map will be one of the first I play =]

    it actually does because you go under there and the rest of the team goes around and youll be at the other side at the same time lol
    Have you tested to see if it's escapable?- yes that was the first thing i tested you cant get out unless you turn on 50% grav lol

    This map looks simple but i think that you have pulled it off well, the appearance of the map makes it look like it flows well. I will d/l and come back if i have anything else to say.

    Great idea

    Edit: you should pst your map to bungie, its against the rules to post to fileshare :S

    Very interesting, nice interlocking and looks very smooth! Other than the crouch areas, it looks a lot like Avalanche so not very original. But still, superb map!

    The mancannons in the middle look really cool in pics 3 and 7. You should post a list of the weapons and equipment though, that way people dont have to figure out by looking at the pics
