    can't wait till he gets to see a map in person. 9/10 for the map BTW. can ppl stop using those effects for their maps please? It's good for like a title-typed picture but if all your screenshots are like that it makes it harder to tell what i'm looking at.

    i really love this map it is one of my 5 favorite maps of all time and just so know i dont really like how the contrast is jacked up in every pic. i also think you need to add a little more to your description. there is nothing bad that i can say about this map the worst comment i could make would be this map is amazing

    I thought you were never going to put this up. I love this map with a passion of OVER 9000 suns. TBH I've saved a earlier version of the map and been playing it a lot with my brother in 1v1's. The weapon set is what really give the map it's flare.

    EDIT: I feel every spammy from this comment : \ . I'm going to add more. I always loved the Powerup chamber in the map it's just a great touch to the map. I not sure if you got rid of it in this map but I loved the Orange Death Beam in the original. Territories works wonderfully well on the map and I'ed advise to use Conquest because it just helps cut down on the spam.

    Ok now I can't say anything... but I love the architecture of the map. And yes it's original. Other than that I have to say no words can describe the way this map is.

    I remember testing this map quite a few times. It got a really unique layout and it played territories really well. I love the high ground and low ground alot. I like the changes you made and the gameplay im sure is as good as always.

    I haven't downloaded it yet, but I tested it (I'm pretty sure I was the orange guy getting raped by the Sentinel Beam) so I think my opinion counts here:
    Aesthetically this map is beautiful. The placement of each piece is so neat and perfect, which is not what I usually go for in my maps (Or rather decide not to when I fail at it), and the weapon balance should be great, considering how much **** you copped from me and Kayaman about the weapon placement (Close range up top, long range down low. Makes sense, doesn't it?). The aesthetic touches like that shielf-door-power-core thing were excellent and were... you. I could tell this was your map even if it was stolen (By Bushido Elite :)) and I had never seen it before.
    Great job!

    what makes this so spwcial? is it the fact that you can make rap-around pictures and add crazy effects to them? Is it so special that I need not be able to actually see the map through non-distorted images? Good Job btw; looks good.

    Hmm, Im pretty sure Ive seen the reactor/core housing structure in several different maps, so its not completely original. Also, why are you so obnoxious? Not to be rude, but your comment at the bottom of your post makes me think less of you. I love the map however. Pristine interlocking, innovative structures and the game play looks interesting. I will definitely be downloading this asap. Also, if thats your only form of humor, (your comment commanding other FH members not to post what they feel about the map), then thats pathetic. Other than that, GREAT INTERLOCKING! 10/10! GREAT JOB MAN!

    Nice job I'm really downloading this. The powerups in the triangle was a nice touch.

    Very good- but the pictures are hard on the eye.

    I'm going to be very honest, the map itself looks brilliant, but the map post is not. I don't know what you did to all the pictures, but while the effect is beautiful it makes the pictures very difficult to see. If it were me, I would have done that to your introduction picture and then left the rest unaltered so we could see them better. Sure this is a minor problem, but its just too much for the eye to take.

    Now for the map itself. I really like the look. The building with the columns and the reactor core is just beautiful. Those hanging inverted boxes almost give the feel that one is inside a cave with stalactites dangling down from above. I'm also a fan of how you fused some of the boxes with the floor- something I myself still don't know how to do (I envy it). Finally, the teleporter box shown in the last picture may seem to be only a minor touch, but I still like it.

    In closing, I would have to say this is a unique map with a distinct feel, and its very well made. I haven't played a game on it yet, but I don't have to play it to know it stands far above average forgehub creations. I'll give it an 8/10 without doubt. Very good job.
