    This is my first thread so Criticism is way more than welcome. Actually please do it.


    Capture the downed cargo from the snow and ice... but don't let your foes take it back!

    This is a map based of of MOH: Airbourne and the first Battlefield 1942. You drop from the skies to capture five territories: One each beneath each plane, one at each power weapon depot, and one at the downed cargo.

    REMEMBER!!! THIS IS A CRASH SITE!!! CRASH SITES ARE NOT PLEASENTLY INTERLOCKED, NEAT AND CLEAN!!! THEY"RE CRASH SITES!!!


    Here's the story behind this map...

    The Insurrectionists have lost a cargo freighter on an icy battlefield. The Innies desperately want that cargo but the UNSC has other plans for it. Capture the cargo to win.
    Use my "Go Go Go!" game varient on this map.

    [​IMG] Another angle

    [​IMG] base one

    [​IMG] base two

    [​IMG] weapon depot 1

    [​IMG] weapon depot 2

    [​IMG] the plane you must leap out of

    [​IMG] the spawn setup

    [​IMG] you can travel between the two bases but not inside the downed cargo

    It looks messy with no interlocking or geo-merging. :( When you interlock and geo-merge it makes the map look a LOT Neater. If you don't know how to do it, Then Pick Home, And you will see at the top left hand cornor (Not exactly at the top) But theres a small box on top of Featured Maps, It should say in small writing, "Forging 101" Click it and there is a lot of forging techniques. Trust me, It comes in Handy!! :)

    This is a... interesting map. It seems kind of rough and to not go together very well but it fits the story... I'm not too sure what to think of it but the bases could be way better and I think you should do a V.2 and just clean it up a bit.

    Um....I have some constructive criticism for you:

    -Test a map before posting it
    -Random objects thrown around doesn't make a fun map
    -Interlock
    -Don't be sloppy
    -Power weapons shouldn't be that close together
    -Spend more than two hours on a map if your going to post it here (10-20 hours is the sweet spot)
    -Welcome to forgehub

    ya guys I definitly get what you are saying. However, remember this is a CRASH SITE and normaly crash sites aren't neat clean and interlocked. However I definitly appreciate all your constructive criticisms. It will really help me out. I am going to be working on a V2 pretty soon. Thanks

    I know this is suppose to be a crash site and it is suppose to be messy, but you can interlock some things to make it look like a neat type of messy map.

    I actually like the map because from the pics i can actually tell there is some symmetry to it and the objects were placed where you wanted them to be and didn't just throw them everywhere, so i give you 3/5 because i still think you could've like geomerged maybe so it looked like an object fell into the ground...hard.

    i like this concept i don't understand why people are complaining about the lack of i locking its not the best map the weapons seem a bit overpowered but other than that it seems to have nice flow to it.you have tried to do something different which is great.I think an infection variaint would be good
    I would rather play a map like this then the standard 2 bases and a centre piece foundry map anyday

    i recommend reading this it will help you no end

    Guys, just read, this is a CRASH SITE a C-R-A-S-H-S-I-T-E, that means it's supposed to be messy.

    At the other hand, the map is not perfect, the maker of this map or someone else with premission should, make a v2 and edit and/or add the following:

    -the ship looks bad, doesn't look cool or well made, avalanche has enough resources to make a decent looking space. (if you're not capable of such thing try to cöoparate with high quality forgers and make something good together).

    -some support bases like the enemy watchtower bases can be geo-merged into the snow to let it look more realistic, but still put it on a little angle, because elseway it looks fake.

    -try geo-merging some objects into the ground to create a great looking and still functional drop pod for the power weapons to lay in.

    these are the basics to upgrade your map's rating to a decent map on avalanche, higher levels are aquired by adding unique almostly never seen before features such as dynamic to aestheatic features

    Thank you dude. I am going to make a second version of this map with more weapon drops, more vehicle drops, a longer and more spacious dropship, (with engines and such) and other stuff. If you download this, please tell me some stuff you didnt like, and what I can do to improve it. If you are just looking at the creen shots, trust me, the map is a lot better in actuality then on screenies, like always. But thank you for your criticisms and words of advice
