    i am going to eat this map up...I LOVE IT

    i really love maps outside of foundry, and this is just great

    A one flag map, outside of foundry = win

    This is your best map, just wish i could have helped test it : (

    oh, sorry about the panorama thing, i had my hands full at the time [sig shoppe]

    Ah but you did. Maybe subconsciously, but there's definitely an influence seen in the Defensive turret tower from my Attacking sniper tower. Hurrah for a tiny bit of influence in map making! This is phase II in my plan for complete world domination (its a 146 step process though, so im a ways off still)! Aaaanyway, I played a One Flag game here and had a blast. The teams were slightly stacked in my teams favor I think, but none-the-less it seemed very playable. There's so many options for the defenders and different things to do that it never seems to get old or repetitive. The only adjustment I would recommend would be to add another route/way into the D tower. The attack seemed pretty limited at times. It wasn't so bad that it ruined the game, but would be a tad more balanced with perhaps another man cannon entrance, or another teleporter up there. I don't know how you're doin as far as the item limit goes, but its definitely something to think about. Other than that though, there really isn't much else I thought that should be altered. Very well forged map, and very repayable as well. This one's definitely gonna have to stay on my hard drive for a long time, if not forever. Slowly but surely we're unlocking that Avalanche potential, yay us! lol. keep forgin man.

    This map is overall well created. The design was well thought out, the weapon and vehicle set fit perfectly, and the overall idea plays well.

    This map touches greatness. 10/10. Most people don't utilize Avalanche, but really its quite barren and is the LMP's (Legendary Map Pack's) equivalent to Foundry. It opens a lot of windows to new ideas.

    Damn your right. I suppose my turret tower resembles your sniper tower from Coldfront. So for that, thank you. And thank you for the best review I have gotten so far. I will definitely consider making an alternate route or two for the attackers. I am overjoyed that you like the map and it is especially satisfying that this is coming from a forger of your status.
    ...world domination haha that made me lol

    Thanks for the great review Murdock, and I hope your right that it opens up room for new ideas because Avalanche is a great map for forge and should be used more often.

    Lol thanks man, I'm glad you like the map. haha but i can't stop laughing at your rating... 7/7 is just such a random number. Usually its 5/5 or 10/10. lol but I like 7 so thanks :]

    To tell you the truth when I heard about all the power weapons that were all over the map I was a little disappointed, but as I seen gameplay it is accually hard for the attackers as well as the defenders to achieve their goals. I think that the tower was a great idea instead of two, small, boring almost identical bases. Also I think the switch for oncoming intruders was brilliant and an awesome attachment onto the map. This map will deffinetly stay on my hard-drive considering it is one of the best Avalanche map I have seen. (I even think it's better then Coldfront)

    Looks great! This map looks very unique, This is definitely one of the better avalanche maps out there right now. Your interlocks looks great, clean and even. The merges you pulled off look precise. I really like the arrows you did. Even though they have been used before they don't get old. They always draw my attention.

    I only have one concern, Is the map blocked off at all? Like did you make the map size smaller? If you didn't its fine. Its a very tricky thing to do on Avalanche.

    Well like I said before the map looks great. It cough my attention and download.

    Thanks Blood Fire, i really appreciate the feedback (especially since your maroon). To answer your question.. no. I had to decide whether I wanted to add more to the bases or block off the map and after a shitload of deliberation, I decided that the bases needed more. And after much maptesting i realized that blocking off was unnecessary. thanks for the download BTW
