    When the dust settles in this condemned arena, all that's left are bullet casings and echoes.

    I love this map! It reminds me soo much of Halo 2, congrats in the symmetrical qualities,whenever I try and make something symmetrical it ends up being the most lopsided thing youve ever seen. EVAR

    Although there isnt anything that actually stands out from the screenshots of this map, I have fooled around in a few game on it and it plays pretty decently. You cant really tell at first glance, but he actually made some really cool and interesting interlocked structures in different places on the map.

    The bases where the sniper spawns leave something to be desired though. for example, there is an area behind the base with a large corner turned upsidedown as a platform. this could easily be interlocked with a ramp or wall to have a back entrance into the base, but instead its just a lonely platform behind the base serving no purpose.

    Besides that I'd say you have a decent, but generic set up, with overall average but fun gameplay on it. There could be some touchups and details that you could add for aesthetic quality, but i give this a 3.5/5

    Also I think it might be important to add that its one of the only maps i didnt immediately delete after looking at in Forge mode, which says a lot.

    This map reminds me so much of a Warlock/Foundation hybrid. I really like it a ton but if I could add a suggestion maybe a outer upper walkway. I only say this because I really like Foundation and it would add more room to the map. 4.5/5.

    Agreed. If that back area led into the base, I think it would improve the flow of the map much better. Overall the map looks and plays fairly well.

    I played arouynd in this map yesterday and it was very good. Only one problem I had with it, at the back of the normal bases, there is a hole you can fall down into by jumping over the block).

    Note: it can be seen in the blue base picture.

    1 word BEAUTIFUL
    this map is amazing to look at and it still plays good which makes it a very good map. Sure its not the best gameplay wise but makes up for it in sheer forging quality. Thumbs up! ^^ 5/5
