    Oh very nice man. Those geomerged bridges are sexy. And that bridge made out of walls is cool too. Reminds me of that one featured map that starts with an r. Renicide or something. Anyway, I'll give it a download. If you ever need any help with your maps we could get together again.

    This map looks an awful lot like that one TDHarding did. Although the name seems to escape me at the moment, were you inspired by his?

    Judging from pics the map looks to have some nice call-outs that will surely help gameplay. Although Im not going to rate the map just by pics.
    Expect a review sometime this week. So far it looks rather awesome.

    Wow! This really reminds me of Renegade, except I hated Renegade and this looks awesome! I will try to get a game in on it and come back to review gameplay.

    Edit- Wait, did I point out the strong resemblance to Renegade or was that in your thread already? Well the map is ok. It's great aesthetics-wise, but it's kind of strange for some reason to me.

    Not only does this map have a similarity to Renegade, but in the first pic all the structures there look like that it's been inspired by several other maps. The map layout and design makes all game types look very fun especially with all those bunkers and other nice things you have put. The weapons list seems very balance too. I would love to play this sometime. Great job.

    This map honestly isn't as great as it seems. Firstly for gameplay, nothing seemed natural and had any real flow. It seemed like you forced many of the structures into the game so the map would look good. The Renegade bridge towards an area of the map not used as much as other areas of the map? If you are to have a bridge like that it is better off in a more widely useable fashion, or such as is Renegade, the center of the map making it the primary bridge, not just one off to the side. I noticed a few other bits and pieces seen in other maps, which leads me to the overall conclusion that although you did not steal these ideas you incorporated too many different structures into your map. I played a few games and everyone felt different, the type of different where you feel disheveled and don't know what is going on.

    If you were thinking of aesthetics primarily above gameplay I think this map would be suitable for all those who comment but do not play, but I just do not see this being featured unless the gameplay really jumps out from the rest of the maps out right now. At least I know you have the ability to forge, so I know you have the talent to improve this map.

    I have to agree with the yellow here.

    My experience was quite the same as his. I wouldve put it more gently but for the most part, not so good. The spawns on the map worked good in some places. You had three or four major spawn points in the map where I would spawn into a wall. That really annoyed me. Many other spawns were bad because you would respawn us in front or behind the enemy's fire. Specifically behind and in front of the Renegade bridge. The map needs work simply put.

    I'm not going to lie to you.. This is the next feature for Forge Hub. You forged this to perfection! I love your creativity and your merging. It really is flawless. Great job!!

    EDIT: Brute.. I mean The Yellow, you NEVER EVER just say, " Good job! Well done".. It ALWAYS has to be something negative. Go get another feature or something.. since that's all you're good for in this life. :)

    Have you seen High Voltage? My comment was all positive. You haven't even played this, all you glorified was how good it looks. So basically you just challenged me when if you had paid attention you would have known you can't win this.

    Amazing map! I love all the complicated geo-merging, interlocking and basically everything about it. Aesthetics are great, and so is the gameplay. Honestly cannot find anything to criticize well done 5/5

    I don't understand, about everyone who commented said good gameplay,
    I myself thought it was fun, but then again it was my own map. There could be people who just say they played based off aesthetics, but theres at leased a couple people who accually thought that gameplay was good,

    Sorry we can't all make games as perfect as Yellow :]
