    This map is almost like a basic figure 8. there are stairs leading up to a base, with a ramp leading up to a chill out/cold storage type of jump to the other teams base. There are few weapons on the map yet i dont think i ever got them "JUST" hot i want them but i think it is fine as is. this is a small level yet fun. now for the only thing players look at...

    The A17 Review
    Very innovative with a simple design, but does the map match the bad name?

    The Good
    (+)Awesome looking map with interlocking that reminds me of the classic interlocked maps
    (+)Great variety of weapons placed in spots that keep the enemy team always checking corners
    (+)I LOVE the grav-lift! Finally someone is using the new-found geo-merging productivly

    The Bad
    (-)Tripmine is gay and can be heard behind corners, rendering it useless for the map, and the shotgun is placed in a bad spot
    (-)Gaia...come on. CHANGE THE NAME!
    (-)Not enough cover, almost seems like I'm walking around a boring empty room all the time

    THE Question
    (?)So...about that name...really?

    The Verdict
    Regardless of the name, this map is a blast to play on and is good with 8 players max. Its a great competitive map, but I don't see myself keeping it forever, but long enough that it deserves a good score. Gaia (really?) by redeyesmaster gets a 4/5!

    P.S. Sorry about the harsh words of choice. Its just a thing I do to get your attention and to make the moderators stand on their toes a little.

    Grading Scale
    1/5-DON'T DOWNLOAD!
    2/5-Lame, don't recommend, but if you like the looks or you dig the feel, DL away.
    3/5-Lacking, but it is worth checking out!
    4/5-AMAZING! DL for sure!
    5/5-Don't expect seeing this too much, I'm looking for PERFECT! As in its in my fileshare FOREVER!

    Contact me if you want a map tested, I am part of the Tester's Guild!

    Hated me the first time? I'll give you another opinion from me at no cost! Just give me a holla!

    Wow, this map looks really awesome and professional, I must say the name threw me off and made me surprised to see this awesome map. the angled shield doors in the walls look so awesome and just make me wish I'd thought of that. Overall this map is awesomely awesome with an addition of pro-forging. 5/5! Keep forging!

    this map is a great example of pro-forging. I love how you geo-merged the gravity lift. The name is a little odd to me though. im gonna download and give it a try when i get time later.

    it is spelt geomerging, not how you spelt it.


    Any ways, from all of this it looks like you tired really hard on the map, and as for that it will get lots of DL. i think the interlocking looks smooth and the geomerged grave lift is pretty sweet.

    This looks good, I like close quarters type maps. I think you should add a sword or something to balance out the shotgun since it looks like people can camp.

    By the way your first pic, "overview" needs to be enlarged.

    Yeah, this map looks pretty fun and all, but come on. I like the geo-merged grav-lift, and the interloxxing looks like you put effort into it. and that effort really paid off. But my question is: why are people posting so many competitive maps and race maps in the casual maps section?! D:. Anyway, the map looks really fun, 4/5.
