    Okay, so most of you know I've had lots of success with Aesthetic maps lately, so I went to make one on Sandbox. I succeeded and I hope you guys like this one. Without Further ado, I present the first Aesthetic map made by stickmanmeyhem on Sandbox,

    This complex is believed to be the power supply to the guardian towers that lock down this ancient plateau of the Forerunner.

    The tower, teleporters lead into underground complex.

    Another overview of the tower on the plateau.

    The inside of the underground complex... There are some interesting forerunner constructs...

    [​IMG]
    You can see the survey team's excavation equipment at work. I wonder what's above that central tower... hmm...

    [​IMG]
    Some sort of raised-almost-to-the-roof platform, this is where you enter the underground complex. (the lower teleporter brings you back outside)

    [​IMG]
    At about 3 minutes into the private excavation, the complex activates and starts doing many different things that puzzle the archeologists you have at hand.

    [​IMG]
    It's a control panel similar to the ones on the HALO rings! It must be used to regulate the power to the guardian towers!

    It's pretty cool aesthetically, the tower in the middle is forged nicely, and the kill ball definetly stands out. Not really sure if I will download however. All I have to say is don't rate your own map, because it makes you look like a douche. 4/5 anyways.

    Meh. It looks okay, the layout is pretty good, but the map could've been executed better. It just looks sloppy. But good job. 7/10. Keep on forging.

    Well, If it's aesthetically pleasing, then why are you giving it sub-par reviews? hmm? The way I think of it is if the map is posted in the aesthetic section, and you say it's aesthetically pleasing, why don't you give it somewhat good reviews? I also believe there can be no perfect balance between aesthetics and playability in a map. It's gotta be leaning one way or the other. Like how lots of people like to make ships on Avalanche. They usually make a crappy base on the ground with a banshee so they can Assault the ship and play through the level. It won't work. Maps that are aesthetic should stay away from gameplay unless they're infection.

    Nice, if my dream ever comes true (not an actual dream just a desire to do something) I might use this on my machinima. If I do, don't worry, you will get credit. if you want more info, go to Ring Records

    Yeah, I've been working on a V2 for a while, improving things here and there...
    But, thats up to me when I finally release pics/descriptions... And, since i joined the testers guild, my forge time has been cut in half...
