    Yes my Photoshop sucks....

    Slide show!!! HOOORAY!!

    Description:
    Just a reminder I do believe that this is a great balanced game but, I hate all off the people who repeatedly asked me in private messages and comments for my last dog-fight game because what started as an innocent remake turned into one of the most painful last weeks of summer EVER!

    Because of the changes to the Hornet, they are now bad combat vehicles, but with two people in the sides it is a point scoring machine since each person scores individual points. I tried many different forms of this map and eventually found one that I thought worked the best. consisting of two identical flying bases and two sub bases for each team. I should ex plane that Even with the first Dog-fight I never wanted to make a floating base. Just some cover in the sky. Which is also true to this version and since the invisible ceiling is so much lower than in Sandtrap.... making this map was not easy at all!
    The map is 100% even for each side and contains;
    Weapons:
    four Missile pods, Two on 45 second delay re-spawn time.
    One spartan laser in the middle 60 second respawn delay.
    Two turrets that actually do something this time.
    Vehicles:
    Two Hornets, now very useless.
    Four Banshees
    Six Mongeese
    Two warthogs
    Two Scorpion tanks 90 second spawn delay
    Equipment:
    Four Bubble Shields
    Two Power Drainers
    Everything is on quick respawn except for the things on delay timers.
    And each player starts with a Rocket launcher and a plasma pistol.
    Because of the time I spent on this map I will completely ignore anything based on looks. Please play it first because I spent alot of time making sure everything fits. and there is always v2.

    The CTF option is aggressively more fun on this map. Nuff said. Although I must admit that this was a rush to finish before school started tomorrow. There can always be a v2.

    Holy Crap! When I first seen this map I said to myself, "This map would have come out better on Avalanche. And you made a map of this on Avalanche!! I downloaded the other one on Sandtrap and played it with 3 on 3. The results were fun!! Me and my friends were saying, "This is a really cool map, But it would be better on Avalanche........And here we are now, Very nice and 5/5, You have earned a Download from me my friend!! :)

    I'm impressed with every one of these. You truly managed to find balance in banshee vs hornet. You could also give players some plasma pistols, so the hornets become powerful holding two weapons that keep enemies down.

    I know I'm being a huge jerk by posting before downloading, but I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for sacrificing your own free time to please the fans. I won't have a big enough party to play this one for a while, I think, but I will download it anyways. I'll make sure to get some feedback to you. Again, thanks so much for this map. I can hardly wait.

    Banshees are faster and the hornets only have half the power in there turrets with no rockets. That means banshee shot first = banshee wins.
    And its okay that you said OUR map pack of Dog-Fights because you did make two of them.

    Dog fight! V2??? Awesome. The first one looked so awesome. However, I bet it isn't as fun with the hornets being so weak. Oh well, I bet it still is awesome.

    i really like these dog fight maps they are a lot of fun.The use of floating movable objects in this one look well thought out as does the tank and vechile layout.As for banshee v hornet i prefer the hornet but as with all things halo they both have pros and cons.Also the weapons selection is sure to provide some epic surface to air combat.
    Another great map 5/5

    I am going to make a dog fight map pack a little different but the same under lying concept.I hope thats cool pm me

    for a v2, I think you should put some type of platform that is just barely in the air enough for you to be in the hill.
    it would add an extra level of playability

    Although I remain firm in thinking that dogfight games a reserved for Sandtrap this looks decent. But before I critique this for you, could you explain in better detail how the game works, or what generally happens in a standard game of Dog Fight.
